The expectation was that 'True Confessions' would be my first published book, but that didn't happen. After it was rejected by every publisher in New York and Canada, I shoved it in a closet and went on to write and publish my next three books.

Rescue Me' is the first book in a three-book series. Although, like all my series, the books are purposely written so that readers do not have to read them in order.

The first book I sat down to write was an historical romance. It was really bad and thankfully no one ever saw it.

The two things I enjoy the most about writing are the first page of a book and the last. What's in between is very hard work.

Sometimes a person needs to hear you forgive them so they can start to forgive themselves.

The only problem with one-man woman was that he was not a one-woman man.

I want to try with someone who loves me enough to try with me. I want to grow old looking at the same face every morning. I want to grow old looking at the same face every night at the dinner table. I want to be one of those old couples you see still holding hands and laughing after fifty years of marriage. That's what I want. I want to be someone's forever.
