Dry my eyes or let the tears flow. I’m torn. This reconciliation of father and daughter–contrived as it was–saved the life of Queen Mary I of England. But it’s the motive behind the missive that strikes a chord.

Honestly? I write about real women battling for their happily-ever-after. You know the kind. Look in the mirror. Deadly choices that demand faith feature in my romantic suspenses. Personal demons, defeated by embracing self, haunt my clean romances. My head, too. Kicking those snark monsters to the curb is a must do for every heroine. Heroes, too. I'm no sexist. Fun and frolic are what's for dinner in my sweet shorts. (Short stories, although my shorts have been known to frolic, but don't spread that around :^) When not writing, which is almost never, I get cozy with my forever friend. My husband Greg, aka: The Grinch Who Stole My Mattress. I also love to harangue my three grown and flown children. Wonder why they left home? I don't. But my spooky little kitty named Boo and her alter ego Peanut (Formerly known as the Anti-Boo) keep me feeling loved. They may be in it for the tuna.
