Asides
Full-Time Writer Here!
As of June 23, I will be retired from teaching, and writing full-time! After a couple of weeks of detox from job stress, and a celebratory trip to Scotland, I’ll return to begin the next chapter with some exciting and ambitious, but doable, plans for a number of books I’ll be completing over the next few months. Stay tuned…

It was the last thing he expected, and the last thing she wanted.
Newlywed Isobel Shaw lost everything. The king’s men seized her property and killed her husband. Turned out of her home, she sets out on foot for her family’s estate in the Highlands of Scotland.
Highland rake Charlie MacDonell is on his way home. After five years abroad as a mercenary soldier, he has realized he’ll never outrun his troubled past. When he meets Isobel on the road, she assures him she’ll manage quite well on her own. He admires her stubborn self-reliance but refuses to leave her alone and defenseless.
As they travel together, he finds himself wanting more. To his surprise, she’s immune to his charms—and he’s helpless to hers.
Writing Update
In April, a pipe burst and flooded more than half of our house. I am thrilled to say that (much as I love our contractor and his crew) the last worker left this afternoon, and the work is done! It will be a bit easier to write without the sweet sounds of nail guns and wet saws—not to mention being relegated to my great room dining table because my office was in the flood zone.
Nevertheless, I have powered through and completed a book. The Wanderer is with the editor now, and on target for a September 20 release. I’m especially pleased with this final book of the Highland Soldiers series, as I hope readers will be.
I’m now beginning a new project that I’m very excited about. I’m finally writing the Christmas story I’ve wanted to do for some time. Watch for it this Christmas season!
