- Can you tell us about one of the most memorable moments in your writing career thus far?
Attending my first Harlequin party at nationals and dancing my head off. Then glancing around with the intention of savoring and remembering the moment and realizing that I was dancing right there beside Nora Roberts.
- Tell us about your newest release/current work in progress.
I am so thrilled to announce that my latest release is a four book series for Harlequin Intrigue, which is their romantic suspense series. The first two books, SHADOW WOLF and HUNTER MOON are both available now and book three and four, TRIBAL LAW and NATIVE BORN arrive this April and May. In this series, four Apache brothers search for their little sister who has gone missing for nine years and each one will help in the hunt for the smugglers using their reservations for their own purposes. All my heroes come with my ‘no-pretty boy’ guarantee. You can read excerpts of the first three in the APACHE PROTECTORS series here.
