Author Bio:
I am an avid reader of romance novels, often
joking that I cut my teeth on the old bodice rippers. I have been reading and reviewing for
years. In 2013, I created the blog, Lost
in Romance Books to promote and showcase indie authors. In 2014, I finally gave in to the characters
in my head, screaming for their story to be told. From these musings, my first novel, Emma’s
Home, The Fairfield Series Book 1 was born.
I am a high school counselor having worked in
education for thirty years. I live in
Virginia, having also lived in four states and two foreign countries. I have been married to a wonderfully patient
man for thirty two years and am the mother to two adult daughters. When writing, my dog or one of my four cats
can generally be found in the same room if not on my lap.
Please take time to leave a review of this
book (on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble). Reviews are the lifeline for indie authors.
Feel free to contact me, especially if you
enjoyed my book. I love to hear from
readers!

Beautiful Laurie Dodd was
perfectly happy with her life. Raised by her loving aunt, she was ready to
discover life out on her own. A new town, a new teaching job, a new apartment,
and new friends. Finding a new man was not on her list, especially not one with
the reputation of a player.
Rob
McDonald, a local firefighter, had grown tired of one-night stands, but had no
desire to be paired with the new woman in town. Until he met her. One look was
all it took and Rob knew that Laurie was the one for him, but he was going to
have to work to convince her that he was a changed man. One that was worthy of her.
A fire at the elementary school brought them together, but illness and deceit threatened to tear them apart.
Will Rob be able to find the missing pieces of Laurie’s past to help her fight for her future?
Will Laurie be able to forgive Rob’s deceit in order to have a future with him?

The idea of a blind date going

that they belong together.

Would you ever write with another author if

I have never thought of

incredible with the right combination.

My mother and my daughters. My mother taught me the importance of being a
strong female, a trait that I passed to my daughters. I am awed by them and inspired by them. They make me want to be the best I can be.
6.
Who are some of your favorite authors?
a.
For alpha males, it would have to
be Kristen Ashley. For heartfelt
