The Early Bird Cafe

My debut novel published through Page Publishing from 2014, takes you on a journey between best friends, Jim and Eve, as they come to a crossroads in their relationship. When Jim's publisher pushes for him to write a romance, he decides to use his journal to use his feelings about Eve for the novel. She has been hiding her feelings for Jim from him for years, afraid to voice her desire and lose him as a friend. With Kate in the picture, can Eve stand by one more time as love passes her by? Or will she fight for the kiss she has been waiting for all her life? What would you do - if it were your best friend?

The Place Between Places

is my latest which whisks you out of your busy life and takes you to the picturesque Virginia island of Chincoteague, where Piper Holloway wishes her dream wedding would be taking place. But when Roy's betrayal throws her world into chaos, she decides to head to the island to cancel the reception plans in person and see what she would miss...now that she won't be a Mrs. When her path crosses with Gabe Ryerson, however, a few days escape only makes her yearn for much more...

Eve and Jim are two characters you wouldn't normally think of together. She's straitlaced and dresses in business suits while he's more laid back with tattoo, earrings and a bomber jacket. But they definitely seem to come alive throughout this story. You can't help rooting for these characters...I felt more involved in The Early Bird Café by reading about these characters as real people.

I couldn’t put it down; in fact I ended up reading it twice.

This was not what I expected. I expected the cliche, over the top snappiness or knight in shining armor type of story. The kind the would make me roll my eyes and say 'this doesn't happen in real life!' Much to my surprise the story seemed more realistic and you think it's possible. You do realize from early on who will get together you just wonder when and how. It does take a little bit to get used to the double 1 st person. I've never read a book written in this style. A pretty good book for my first romance, I definitely recommend it.
