My New Book!

Hello Readers!

I'm happy to announce that my latest novel is now available! I've been working on it (on and off) for a few years now, and spent the last several months editing, revising, and formatting. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

What you might not know, is that the inspiration for Garden of Time began with a beautiful painting. I found it at a resale shop a few years ago, and similar to Emma in the story, I was in the midst of a very dark time in my life. The picture emanated such a peaceful scene - immediately sparking my imagination, and the premise of the story came to me before I left the store.


Back of the book:
Emma Lee Parkinson's life appears to be perfect. She's young and beautiful and lives in an elegant high-rise condominium with her rich, handsome husband. Her closet is full of designer clothes, shoes, and purses. Dining at elegant restaurants, attending cocktail parties or upscale gala events are typical nights out on the town for her. Luxurious vacations are taken at least twice a year. This life of leisure allows Emma to pursue personal interests as well. She loves shopping for antiques, strolling through art galleries, museums, and furthering her own artistic skills with painting classes. Who could ask for more? 
But appearances can be deceiving. Emma hates her life. With a passion. 
Intimidated by a deep, dark secret, she lives in a constant state of dread. Battered, abused, and even threatened with death, she's often on the edge of panic. Paralyzed by fear, she's certain there's no way out. 
Until the day she attempts to hang her latest find - a painting so enchanting that she buys it on a whim. 
Little does she know... 
this painting will change her life forever. 

Note from the author:

A beautiful piece of artwork...a lovely painting to be exact. Emma's life changes the moment she sees it. True believers claim that it’s magical; 

skeptics say that it’s just a colorful piece of canvas. 
You’ll have to decide for yourself.

New Novel!!

Tired of waiting for book 4 of the Ravenswynd Series?

Well, I've got something to keep you busy while you wait.  I did a bit of a survey about a month ago, and the consensus was that I should publish my time-travel book while finishing up book 4...so, I did.  (I'm sure you saw that on Facebook, unless you've been asleep)

Here's what came today by my friendly UPS guy. (He's always smiling!)

The paperbacks are available at Amazon
here is the Kindle

Paperback: Barnes & Noble
(nook should be available here soon)

And there are several (like 9) formats available here: Smashwords

and 3 more here: All Romance

The book trailer for River of Time is on my Website (on it's own page!)

and also at the Amazon and Smashwords site.  Or, you could just click below:

So, while you patiently wait, and spend some quality time reading...(reading is always good)

I'll reward you with a little sneak peek at the cover. Shhh, I have not posted it anywhere else just yet, so you, my favorite peeps, will get first dibs at seeing the awesome cover, (gracious thanks to my artist, Martina Avery-Perry, who also did the River cover!)

Artwork for cover of book 4

I just ordered the proof today, so we'll see how it looks in person on the actual cover.  Hoping it passes the test, (and I don't find any mistakes on the interior) and then my publishing date of December 1 shall stand!! Keep your fingers crossed!

Have a great week, and keep your eyes open for my interview by Gina McKnight.  Hoping to give you the link within a week or so!

Happy Reading!
