Romance Writers Unite: September 2005

About Me

Location: Naples, Florida, United States

Hi! I am a romance author, although my novels are more science fiction/fantasy in my opinion. I've had two books published and a third completed. I'm waiting to hear back from the publishers on that one. My first published book is MacGregor's Curse, a novel about a woman who finds herself in the 13th century Scottish Highlands. My second novel, Whispers by the Sea will be available by April of 2005. This is a contemporary paranormal romance that takes place in Brittas Bay, Ireland. Jacob's Pillow has been submitted to the publishers and I'm just waiting to hear back on that one. Another historical romance that takes place in the 18th century Scottish Highlands. Why Scotland and Ireland? Well, My grandmother was full Scottish and my Grandfather was full Irish (was a ball growing up). With so much hitory there, I couldn't resist writing about the hardships they went through to gain their freedom. I collect anything Scottish or Irish and I'm facinated by the people there.

Interview with Jim McAllister

I recently got to talk to Jim McAllister from the Independent Newspaper in Arizona. He was so pleasant and a delight to talk to. The article talked about the hardships of becomming a published author. He's spoken to many authors at book fairs and signings and he's heard all the stories. Most have made names for themselves, I hope to be one of those people one day.

Jim included me in his weekly Blog

He does a magnificent job with his article, The Rennaisance Man and I will continue to read his views.

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate it!
