For
years I've been fascinated by the puzzle of why some people collapse
under life's traumas and others emerge triumphantly stronger. These
triumphs of the human spirit over the ugliest of adversities became
the basis for my stories. Yet my dramatic stories have always
contained touches of humor, and sometimes I have great fun writing
romantic comedy novellas. However, in all my stories, my passion for
writing romance is an outlet for the powerful messages that people
can overcome great difficulties, and true love can turn life’s
heartaches into happily ever after.

Super-mom
Tallie O'Shea took on eight adopted children and built a legacy of
compassionate justice with her policeman husband. When he is gunned
down, she doesn't think it's an accident. Then a former lover shows
up and the lies from her past start unraveling. As dangers explode
around her, can Tallie set things right before everything she loves
is destroyed?
Excerpt:
Back
at the house, Pierce cornered Tallie. "What's the deal with a
dredge?"
Tallie
looked at him closely. Distinguished gray at the temples, eyes as
sharply blue as they had been so many years ago. Still
take-your-breath-away handsome, and here she was with a rifle on her
hip, her hair wild with the natural curl turning to frizz, her
minimal make-up of mascara and lip gloss cried and worried off, and
wearing work-worn clothes to clean the house.
Though
she regarded news conferences as media circuses, she never imagined
this would end in Halo literally exploding with her children right in
the middle of the action. Oh, yes, they were Bernie's kids. Even as
she worried, immense pride filled Tallie's heart. Bernie's legacy of
courage and compassion lived in his children. In their children.
"When
she was a teenager, Marly rode a motorbike up the conveyor belt of an
old mining dredge, revved it up as fast as it would go, and jumped
over the gap to come down on the other side of the pond. She was so
proud because none of her brothers could do it. They were too big and
heavy."
As
Tallie told the anecdote, Pierce's face grew paler and paler. "Is
that as dangerous as it sounds?"
