Texas Living: El Fenix

Dallas, Texas

Since my current series takes place in my hometown, I thought you might want to get some experiences from the city where Jay and Dani do their thing. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, by all means, please

My sweet hubby has started reading GRIME BEAT. I’m ultra-flattered because romantic suspense isn’t normally his preference. But he’s

Indie, Not Lonely

I’ve been feeling pressure to independently publish for a while, now, but have struggled with self-doubt and fears. It’s hard enough to send my stories to my agent or to editors, but at least with traditional publishing, I can be comforted that other professionals will be laying their eyes on my manuscript before I send it out for the world to see.
