Scarlett Stone hates me. Every time she takes the mic during her popular sports podcast, she rips me a new one. Some would call us enemies but I make it a rule not to make a rival of a smart, sexy woman like her. If I make one single error on the ice, she calls it out in a way that both frustrates me and turns me on. When I find out she’s been assigned to cover me on a trip to Minnesota, I ask my agent to pull strings to get someone else. Anyone else. Turns out, I’ll have to smile and take it. Oh and try not to make things worse, but it seems even my breathing yanks her chain. I’d give anything to know why she hates me. It almost seems… personal. During the award ceremony, a huge storm hits the area. One that makes it dangerous to be on the road so everyone has to hole away in a room for a few days. Except there’s only one room left in town. I’m trying to be the good guy here but she’s not having any of it. She’s hell bent on making me pay. Which sucks because her attitude lights a fire inside of me. But it’s fine. Because while she’s distracted by hating me, I’ll focus on claiming her as mine.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
