Frequently Asked Questions
Book Questions
At some point, I hope so. But so far, they're being rather cagey about their story.
No. At least one more book is coming in that series, most likely 2 more.
Yes, it was. However, it doesn't appear that Bobby and Tamara will get their story. Maybe one day, but for right now, the Riot brothers and their women are demanding to have their stories told.

Writing Questions
I started writing as a teenager. Back then, I was told (repeatedly) that I couldn't be a writer - I had to find a day job. At the time, when I wasn't reading romance novels or mysteries, I was watching soap operas. According to the credits, they had writers...who were paid to write stories! I dreamed of being a soap opera writer, so when readers email me to say my books are just like their soap operas, it's music to my ears.
Far from it. In the best case scenarios, I know the inciting incident - or whatever leads to the hero and heroine first meeting - and that no matter what, those two characters will fall in love and have a happily-ever-after. Most of the time, I know the hero better than the heroine, and it takes me a bit to get her to start talking to me.
It depends. The short answer is: longer than I'd like.
Most books, it takes me four to six months. Tiny Problem and Make or Break came together much faster than I'd expected, while Finn's Fury took far longer than my other books.
Miscellaneous Questions
New books will be featured on the homepage of this website. I also send a newsletter on release day.
If you're following me on Facebook, Instagram, Bookbub, or Amazon, new releases are promoted there as well (though I don't control when Amazon or BookBub sends an alert).
Not as such. However, I do have a reader group over on Facebook. Be sure to answer the questions when you ask to join, I do my best to make it a safe space for romance readers in order to keep out the bots and trolls. That means people who don't answer the questions don't get into the group.
If you feel like telling the world about my books, I would be incredibly grateful since readers almost always value the opinions of other readers.
You can see me at an upcoming book signing to get signed copies.
At this time, I only attend two signings each year. My events page has the details on where I'll be.
