What I do.
I've been writing since the end of the last century. (doesn't that make me sound old? )
I'd been influenced by Agatha Christie and the classic mysteries and transitioned into romance
novels. What I discovered was romantic suspense, a genre I've been writing ever since.
I'd written four novels before I finally got published with "In the Arms of the Enemy." Then, I
discovered what a real author does. The editing and re-editing, the marketing, promotion,
promotional material. (bless my publisher she created my first trailer and all my promo
materials. My latest release, "Waterlilies Over My Grave" was released by LSP Digital at the end
of October in 2008. I'm learning more and more about "shameless promotions."
