I never set out to be a romance author. My goal was always TV news. During a break from college, I was fortunate to get an internship with Associated Press— a real prize for a broadcast major. A few months into the job, I made a catastrophic mistake, quoting a source incorrectly. I’d rewritten a few words to make the sentence flow better. Unfortunately, my "re-arranging" altered the source's meaning, and my boss was apoplectic.  The red-faced bureau chief fired me on the spot, muttering under his breath, I should try my hand at fiction.

After working in TV news—getting up at 4 am really sucked—advertising, producing telecourses for a southern university, and a stint in healthcare, I was still searching for “the best” job, for me. After nearly two decades, the words of my former AP bureau chief still echoed. Fiction. Maybe it was time. Our children were grown. My husband offered to take on nightly dinners and our two Labs, Lambeau and Gracie, were ecstatic to have a stay-at-home mom. I was on my way! Where to?

Well…growing up near a lakeside resort town—spending a lot of time at my dad’s marina—I was inspired to create cozy, friendly Haley, Vermont. Most of my main characters are thirty-somethings. They’ve faced failed relationships, weathered job changes, and are looking for love—whether they will own up to it or not. Most of them are searching for second chances and it’s up to me to give them one.

Hot, humorous, and happily ever after.
