Contest Winners


Here's Red drawing the winner from a hat.
l a mitchell has won a copy of Upon Eagle's Light and the moon inspired necklace. I'll be contacting you to get your mailing info.

And abookblogger and windycindy have each won an ebook copy. I'm so excited to get these out.

Speaking of contests, UEL's cover is entered in two contests. One at The New Covey Awards and the other is at The Author's Lounge If you like my cover, go to these sites and vote for it. Much obliged.

My first Contest

In Celebration of my first book coming out in Print March 7th, I'm holding my very first contest. It will run the entire month of March. March is one of my favorite months with all the "clovers" and "green" running around. And yes, I do have a wee bit of Irish in me, and wed a "Patrick" during a leap year. That'd be 5 leap years ago if ye care to do the math.

Back to the contest. The first place winner will receive a signed copy of Upon Eagle's Light in print and this beautiful moon inspired necklace I picked up at an antique shop.
It's beautiful, right? I love it and it's the closest thing I could find that fits the book, due to Eaglekins getting their ability from sunlight. (Yeah, I know, it's the moon not the sun, but I liked it.)

Two second place winners will receive an ebook copy of Upon Eagle's Light.

All you have to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post. Easy. I'll put your names in a hat and have my son (the red head of course) draw for the winners at the end of the month.

Let luck be with you and thanks for visiting.

It's here


They came in the mail. Yes, my book is in print. I can hold it in my hand and see my name scrolled across the bottom. It's an incredible feeling. Aren't these babies beautiful? Come back and visit my blog in March when I host my very first contest to celebrate the print release.

Parrot Flowers




Are these amazing or what? These rare flowers are protected in Taiwan. They cannot be exported anywhere else.

My Second Book is Released

It's out tomorrow. My second book. Yay me. This was a really fun one to write. I think I pummeled it out in a matter of days. I actually got cramps in my hand from this one, I wrote so fast. I couldn't get the story out quickly enough.



This is a romantic Time Travel. The thing that always worries me about Time Travel tales is that the person going back in time usually has some sort of knowledge pertinent to what is happening. Let's face it, if I went back in time to King Arthur's Court, just kill me now, cuz I have no idea what date any eclipses happened.

So I thought it would be a riot to have a character who doesn't know any historical facts travel back to the civil war. In fact the one piece of information that she does have is one of those things that history wrote wrong.

I hope you enjoy reading The Sweetheart Tree as much as I loved writing it. You can get it from The Wild Rose Press

Oh, yeah, notice all the initials carved into the tree on the cover. That's all in the book.
