Hooked on a Series
As a writer, I’ve written both medieval and western historical romances and also thrown in a few romantic suspense novels along the way. All of these novels were standalones.

Sure, some writers also have full-time day jobs, but I don’t any longer so my connections with other people don’t come from that…. Read More
