Writing: A Change of Course
As a Historical Romance author, I enjoy
creating beautiful heroines primping for parties in their elegant gowns, and
handsome, rugged heroes fighting against their demons, sassy elderly aunts who
love to interfere, and dastardly villains who want to ruin everything. No doubt, I’ll read and write more Regencies!
However, in my third historical, A Kiss of Promise, I began to change
direction in setting, leading my heroine, Alaina, from England to America. I enjoyed delving into research for Alaina’s
hazardous voyage across the Atlantic and into the New World of opportunities
and danger.
The heroine
in The Diary of Narcissa Dunn must
find a measure of peace, a re-kindling of lost faith, and lasting love, as she
struggles to overcome deception and heartbreak caused by scandalous family
secrets and society’s cruel injustices.
I hope my
characters step off the page for readers and find a place their minds and
hearts. The Diary of Narcissa Dunn ebook
is available May 1st for Kindle, Nook, and KOBO readers. Sign up for
