I never thought I'd be a writer, much less publish a book
some day. I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I guess life
just had other plans for me. When my husband and I
decided to start a family, vet school pretty much went out
the window. I used to work with a vet who had three
children while going through vet school. To this day, she is
my hero.
I live with my husband and two teenage sons in southern
California. I have a Welsh pony and a miniature horse
(down-sized from a barn of six horses). A crazy Labrador
retriever who is a food vacuum, three cats, a Holland Lop
bunny, two parakeets, three bearded dragons (my
compromise with my sons when they wanted a snake), and
a small flock of chickens complete our menagerie of
critters. I can't imagine my life without my animals. My
dream is to live in Montana some day.
Three years ago, I began writing a story that, for whatever
reason, was stuck in my head for almost a year. I have
been an avid romance reader for a long time, and the idea
took hold to - why not? - write my own! What a simple idea,
right?
It has been a long and difficult journey from my first
sentence to a completed, and hopefully polished,
manuscript.
Today, I have a completed series of 5 books and a novella
in what I called The Yellowstone Romance Series, a first
book in my new Second Chances Time Travel Romance
Series, and I am currently working on a trilogy set in the
Grand Tetons.
I hope you enjoy this excerpt from Yellowstone Heart
Song....

Excerpt from Yellowstone Heart Song....
For the better part of the morning, Daniel led her through the
forest, showing her how to read different tracks, other signs to look
out for that an animal had been in the area, where to look for edible
roots and plants, and how to watch the skies for changes in the
weather. Along with the berries, she filled her backpack with mint,
wild onions, licorice, and various other roots and plants.
She had listened attentively as she tried to absorb everything Daniel
told her. Some things she already knew, others were completely new
to her. The subtle animal signs he picked up on astounded her.
Silently, he had pointed out a black bear sow and her twin cubs in the
distance, a moose in the thickets that she would have completely
overlooked, and countless other smaller animals. He knew which
critter made every track they came upon. He read the forest for
information as someone in her time would read a newspaper. It was
most refreshing to
