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…

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)…

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
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

Read and Review Garden of Lust
If YOU would like the read and review my May 24th releasing book Garden of Lust… here’s your chance… sign up here READ AND REVIEW
All my life I have received or been read my horoscope compliments of Madame Jezebel. This one arrived circled with a big green heart and decorated with bright leaves...
The New Moon lights up your social life. A stranger may appeal to your sense of longing and you could be inspired to plant new roots. Regardless, your interest will be inspirational. Follow your feelings when the Moon conjoins Neptune. Use your intuition and have a great time cultivating new blooms. Shine with happiness before the Full Moon. You might even find yourself caring for a garden of lust. Enjoy an energetic glow.
I was never quite sure what they meant.
This one wasn't any different.
But I had never seen one jazzed up.
A heart... A stranger... Garden of Lust...
Did it mean that love was finally coming my way?
For some reason it didn't seem promising.
Starting on a New Moon and ending on a Full Moon.
Then I noticed small words circled in red... Do NOT fall in love.

Writing Challenges
Writing series books…even standalone ones need to have some connection… Written several years is a challenge and why I am often vague about what the year is or specific dates… That’s been my latest challenge as I attempt to finish my HEART SERIES… three standalones about three friends and their romances: Hadley and Gerard, Chanel and Levi, Solena and Rey… Clashing Hearts released August 2017… Stealing Hearts is releasing March 22nd and my goal for Exploring Hearts is a July 19th release… No spoilers in any of the books in the series but they all have a same timeframe to start…challenging…
SNEAK PEEK of book three here…
Gerard Perry was never given a chance as he was teased and ridiculed from the first day of kindergarten until he graduated from high school and went off to college.
When Gerard comes back to town a new doctor, he runs into one of the people associated with the people he least wanted to see, and when he has the opportunity to rub his success in the face of the Homecoming Queen, he finds that maybe he never really knew Hadley at all.
Chanel Devlin has been a fashionista since the day she was born.
Levi Laurent has always been a successful businessman with compliant employees.
When Levi purchases a very successful fashion blog, he is faced with one very unhappy fashionista and she plans to fight every change management tries to make. Chanel knows what is best for Fashionista Forward but does she know how to keep Levi from stealing her heart?
