Summer Darkness
 (15 pages)


A newlywed couple, full of hope and excitement, steps into what they think is their dream home—only to find too late that it’s tainted by a dark history. A demented murder from forty years ago. The house itself might carry echoes of that past with creaking floors, strange shadows, or even something more sinister, like an entity that hasn’t left.

Homecoming to Murder
(117 pages)


Nathan Perry, a battle-hardened Army vet, steps into the quiet, picturesque streets of his hometown of Mystic, Massachusetts, expecting a slower pace after years of conflict. Instead, he’s thrust into a web of small-town secrets as the police department’s first detective. The affluent neighborhood, lined with grand homes and manicured lawns, has been hit by a string of break-ins, each more brazen than the last. Then, a murder. The pressure’s on: solve the case, and the job is his for good. Fail, and he’s back to square one.

Heartbreakers Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heartbreakers Blog Hop.Almost 300 authors, reviewers, and bloggers are participating. The complete list can be found at the end of the post. Many, including myself, are having giveaways, so make sure you check them out for your chance to win some great prizes. Heartbreakers, we've all had them. Whether it's a disappointing lover or a friendship broken apart, we don't like them. Even in romance novels, the characters usually suffer a heartbreak before they can have the happily-ever-after ending. It's no different in my current book, "A Kitchen Affair," where Jenny becomes heartbroken when she finds out that Derek slept with another woman. The table also turns when he sees her with another man at an art show. Whether you use it for a comfort food or as a dessert to share with your partner, this chocolate dish works wonders. Turtle Cake 1 box brownie mix 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 egg 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chi...

Just Desserts Blog Event

  The authors with my publisher, Secret Cravings Publishing are holding a Just Desserts Blog Hop this weekend. On each of their own blogs, you will find information about their books and many will be sharing a delicious dessert recipe. You can also find so many giveaways. Check out the Secret Cravings Publishing Blog for a complete list of participants. I really think my current release. "A Kitchen Affair" fits this blog hop better than any other hop I've participated in. The heroine is a personal chef and she prepares scrumptious dishes throughout the book. If you've followed me on my guest appearances on other blogs, you've see some of my recipes already. However, I have left my best and favorite recipe for this posting. It's the first dessert that Jenny serves to Derek in the book and is probably responsible for winning him over from the start. At the bottom of this post, you can see how to enter my giveaway for a .pdf copy of "A Kitchen Aff...
