Close encounters He was ice and she was fire—mated in a cascade of wedded bliss. Yet their happily-ever-after turned into a sea of estrangement, and nothing could stem the salty tears that washed Stefan and Lindsey onto the barren shores of separate lives. Grindingly lonely, aching with need, each would willingly bridge the starkest hell in the other's arms. But what they needed was a miracle. Then out of the night came eerie lights . . . alien music . . . otherworldly wisdom . . . and Lindsey discovered the key to perfect communion. But the price was steep—her time on earth was running out. And if Stefan couldn't unlock his heart, he'd lose his chance at heaven . . . forever.
Author

I'm the author of seventy-something novels, including romance, women's fiction and mystery. When We Were Sisters debuted in June 2016, a stand alone novel about two foster sisters traveling back into their past together. I loved writing it and love the cover my publisher chose. I'm also excited about my recent series, Goddesses Anonymous, which started with One Mountain Away and was followed by Somewhere Between Luck and Trust. The third book in the series, A River Too Wide, came out in July 2014. The Color of Light debuted in August 2015. Will there be more? We'll see. I'm also putting up my newly edited romance backlist and love re-reading and updating them a bit. Last year my husband and I moved from Virginia, to Osprey, Florida, the state where both of us were raised, met, and married. In the summer we live in Chautauqua, New York. I'm a quilter, knitter, kayaker, and the mother of four children, whom I regard as my greatest creative endeavors. And now there are four wonderful grandchildren to spoil.
