Researching Landscape Design

Having fun writing about a female character who is a landscape designer… Magnolia Bellesol… so I looked to the internet for landscape design plans I think she would draw while sitting at her drafting table in her converted carriage garage…

When I did my own landscape design project, I only used a drafting pencil—no color—but if I had, I imagine using colored pencils and some watercolor paints.
Love writing about creative people in my books!

That’s Life

That’s Life… my father left the Earth for the Heavens on Earth Day… I will love you forever, Dad…





I will miss hearing you saying that you love me more than (7) counties… 
Rest in peace, Dad 💔

Neighborhood with Different Styles

It’s always fun to make up fake locations in books… Whisper Lane in my new book Garden of Lust has old homes and there is no one style of cottage or bungalow… California Eclectic Architecture (Daphne Chastain from DECEIVED)… 













Photos found on Pinterest and Real Estate sites

Love California architecture…
craftsman, cottage, bungalow, Victorian, Spanish, Mediterranean…
A variety on one street happens very often in older neighborhoods

Santa Anita Derby: BettingonMisters

 Writing my newest book about three romances that involve horse racing… Santa Anita Park is the setting for my FICTIONAL contemporary romance, women’s fiction book that includes: enemies to lovers, secret romances that could possibly be forbidden, single mother avoiding romance with a slick bachelor…more issues throughout the book as well will keep readers interested… Excited to release this BETTING ON MISTERS book June 7th… I love the characters, I love the subject of horse racing and I love that I’m dedicating this book to My Dad who loves horse racing and has taken me to Santa Anita Park Race Track since I was very young…

Beautiful race track… I returned to the track recently for a little research; viewing the old track with new changes that have sadly eliminated jobs which make it lose some of its old charm… but it still provides wonderful memories and vibes for me

TODAY: April 6th is SANTA ANITA DERBY DAY… I got the Daily Racing Form to give to my Dad…and it came in handy for writing my book where the main horse “BETTINGONMISTERS” in the story runs in the BIG RACE OF THE DAY… 


Skylar, Singer and Storm, the three S committee for the annual Spring Fling charity event at Santa Anita Park, seem to all be battling with three misters of their own.

 

Skylar “Lark” Lovingier, high-end fashion designer representative, back in town must quietly face her old flame and sometime nemesis, MisterCharming.


Singer Summerfield, one-time model turn handbag designer, looks to have a thing for someone she has coined MisterLucky. 


Storm Chandler, single mother and owner of a food catering empire, appears to be exhibiting the biggest secret of all that involves one MisterSlick. 


What do these Misters all have in common? 

A desire to win the Triple Crown with their horse BettingonMisters
