NEW 2023 Book Releases

Here are two more GREAT STORIES with a NEW 2023 vibe... more romcom-ish... less graphic naughtiness... laugh . smile . swoon reading JUST A NUMBER and 11 ENTICING DONUTS... 


Not looking for love.

No details.

Follow rules and restrictions.

Only fun. No feelings.

Forever--not an option.

Simple Flings.

They were all just a number.

Dash Oliver and Willow Dane both shared the same philosophy.

That is, until a merger of sorts.

Thrown together by fate or serendipity, was their connection... their chemistry... their compatibility enough to convince them that their rules were made to be broken and that they belonged together?




***************************************************



Open a donut—patisserie style—shop... Check!
Create incredible sweet goodness... Check!
Have patrons raving, craving and returning... Check!

Falling all over myself while doing and saying crazy things at the sight of one beautiful customer... Not part of my business plan!

A sweet match made in heaven or a fiery mixture: Peyton Beignet and Valentina Zeppole?

NEW 2023 version of Making Waves

I'm making my way through my backlog of romance books... MORE romcom... eliminating graphic steaminess... Making Waves is my latest one to be reworked and is NOW AVAILABLE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited...





This romantic comedy will make you smile, laugh, and swoon! A friends to lovers romance you don't want to miss! Jack wants Mitzi while she thinks he's unattainable.

When my sexy business partner, Jack Fritzi, suggested that we take a vacation together to a resort near a beach under the pretense of bonding and working on designs for our new collection of footwear, I imagined Monte Carlo by the sea.

What I got was a quaint campground with trailers, tents and cabins surrounding a lake which didn't exactly match the high fashion clothing and delicate sandals created by me, Mitzi Warren, that I had packed in my designer luggage.

The location proved to be a great find, but it was the way that surfer Jack continued making waves in our relationship that was the biggest surprise of all that threatened to end our business partnership.

Can we survive our time together at the Happy Endings Resort?

NOTE: This book is a STANDALONE book in a series called The Happy Endings Resort - ONE resort - LOTS of Different Stories from OTHER authors to be read

I’ll be home for Christmas… have snow

FUN painting custom Christmas cards… this is the final approved painting to be made into 4” x 6” notecards with white envelopes…


Preliminary painting had a pale green roof and green door… and the client had me darken the roof and change the door to red as you can see above…


Here is the inspiration photo used…


Here is my painting process for this design job…



I used watercolor paints, acrylic paint, ink and to create the snowing effect I applied drawing gum over my inked sketch… let it snow… or I’ll be home for Christmas…please have snow

Decorating for Characters

LOVE interior decor and I have such a GOOD time using my interior design background to create environments for my book characters… These are an example of what inspired Chanel Devlin’s office space (top two) and murphy bed for her studio condo…


STEALING HEARTS unedited book excerpt…

I was going to select a corner office but I had my heart set on painting a wall in a rich turquoise to make two white chairs with chocolate brown legs on either side of a medium-sized white Saarinen-knockoff dining table pop! I had a good sized signed and dark brown framed print—because I couldn’t afford an original—of a Renaldo Rossellini painting on the same turquoise wall. The opposite wall was filled with inexpensive dark stained wood bookcases with adjustable shelves to allow me large spaces for different colored glass vases and some large coffee table-sized fashion books. A basic three-drawer-across-the-top stained wood desk sat in front of the bookcase with a modern white ribbed leather office chair. All of the wood in the room was the same dark chocolate brown shade including accordion folding shutter doors to block the windows on sunny days and to hang clothing to be photographed. The floors were polished concrete throughout the office building but I had a larger low-pile navy blue area rug with a slight line pattern in it covering the floor, only showing about two feet of concrete from all four walls.


Of course… Levi Laurent needed a look for his office desk…

Another unedited book excerpt…

Sitting in my office, folders had been placed on my solid wood conference-table-looking desk minus drawers. “Take your pick” was scribbled on a post-it note. After careful research, my assistant working along with my top-analysts had found three good-bets—sound online businesses for my company to purchase.

This book will steal your heart!

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?
