Landon… I was taught women are the weaker, inferior sex. Toss a little money at them, show them some attention, and they will spread their legs. They are money hungry whores, and they are all the same. My father taught me this, and he warned me to never allow a woman to have control over me. Never give a woman my trust. Never give a woman my admiration. I followed his advice…until I met Avery Randall. Avery… I hate everything about the small town I grew up in. Hollis is tainted with horrible memories. The place I used to love so much is ruined from the tragedy I caused, the pain I inflicted, and I can’t seem to escape from it. I ran away a long time ago, but this place has a way of drawing you back in and not letting you go. My family needs me, only I’m not certain I can handle the pressure of being back in Hollis. But there’s one person who tells me I can do this. Landon Steele assures me I can overcome my past. He promises me I am strong enough. I wish I could believe him. *Admiring Avery is the final installment in the Hearts of Hollis Series. It references characters and events from the previous books but is a standalone novel. This book contains adult content, adult language, and sexual situations. It is intended for mature readers only.*

I am a happily married mother of three (two boys and one girl). I live in a very small town in Alabama. Never lived anywhere else. I’ve been writing since my early twenties, but I couldn’t seem to finish a book. I’ve started self-publishing with the encouragement from my mom. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done it. She always supported me and writing is something I’ve always enjoyed doing. As long as I enjoy it, I’ll continue to do it. I’ve learned already that I can’t please everyone. Not all reviews will be good, not all reviews will be bad. I’m the one that has to be happy with my work. I get my inspiration from life experiences, movies, television, other authors, and music. Music is definitely a big influence on my writing. I can hear a song and it can inspire an entire book for me. I listen to it while I’m driving or before I start writing and it keeps me inspired. I like to put music in my books, even if it’s just one song the characters listen to or hear at some point. Sometimes music has gotten me through the really tough times in my life and that’s why it inspires me. I like to write fast-paced, steamy romance reads. I like for my males to be alpha-males and my heroines to be strong, but both need to have one weakness- each other. I am an avid reader. I absolutely love romance books!
