Dear Friend,
What gives you pleasure?
It could be something as simple as licking an ice cream cone on a hot day. Or, someone thanking you for your help on a project. And, most wonderfully, from the perspective of romance writing, hearing someone say, “I love you.”
Writing my Louisa’s Vineyard series romances gives me pleasure. Its appeal encompasses all of my senses. As I touch the keyboard and put words on an electronic page, there’s both a visceral and visual feeling as the words develop and create images. Scents activate my sense of smell, like food cooking with aromas wafting in the air. Dialogue makes people come alive, noises provoke reactions, and atmosphere is the final touch for memorable scenes.

Beyond the usual senses, the sixth sense is a subtle addition to my characters’ lives. Louisa has the gift, and sometimes the curse, of “seeing,” both events in the past and future. She cannot predict what she’ll see, but it often serves as reassurance for the people involved. This paranormal sense is one that those close to Louisa appreciate and trust.
My new book, The Greatest Thing, is available to purchase soon. It’s a labor of love for me and took me longer than the other romances I’ve written because it has a wider scope and more characters. Advance readers are saying universally positive things about (TGT, as I call it) the book.
To read the “blurb” that tells you more about THE GREATEST THING CLICK HERE.
TGT will answer questions about plots that have been developing since the first book, Louisa’s Passion, debuted.
What The Greatest Thing will offer you most is the sense of how loving couples behave in a partnership including some of the steamiest love scenes I’ve written. There’s humor, laughter, joy, triumphs over adversity, and passion. Available online for a special launch price starting July 27. The print book debuts the same date . . .
Get ready! Mark your calendar and consider a purchase right away! I’d like your help in making this book a bestseller! And, if you purchase the book, there’s a link to connect you to a super bonus epilogue! An extra romantic pleasure for you —
Can’t wait to learn your reactions to THE GREATEST THING!
