When Annalise Spoke Is Here

I am proud to announce my eighth novel, When Annalise Spoke. History meets the current when Tia Samuels inherits Annalise, a majestic Victorian home that has been in her family since the 1800s. The designer, with her husband and three daughters, move in to begin restoration when she discovers a chest of love letters between her then newlywed grandparents during World War II, along with her grandmother’s diary confessing her innermost thoughts about the war, segregation and her plans to renovate Annalise, but Annalise has a secret that no one ever saw coming.

Annalise will be available at Amazon and other online outlets in the spring of 2024.

New Book Coming 2024!

Yep, you guessed it… another novel. Tia and her family have inherited her grandparents’ sprawling Victorian house in Colorado that they warmly named Annalise and, in the attic, a wooden chest holds the letters between her grandmother and grandfather while he was overseas for World War II. Her grandmother’s old diary is quaintly hidden in the library and reveals all of the renovations she had hoped to do to the old house, but it also comes with the secrets that have never been told by her grandparents.

The letters and diary breathe life into the grieving Tia who, a designer herself, decides to restore Annalise in the precise way her grandmother wanted. When Annalise reveals the family’s darkest secrets, Tia pays attention.

When Annalise Speaks is coming in the Spring/Summer of 2023.

THEN COMES THE HEART RELEASE

Hey friends and fellow readers, it’s finally here! After a long, arduous process (as with every novel), Then Comes the Heart is finally ready to be published. Every book is a precious, new baby to me, so this is a pretty special occasion. Hoping to have it available at Amazon and other online stores in August 2022.

NEW BOOK COMING 2022

It is a brand new year and, with that, comes my newest fiction novel, “Then Comes the Heart”.

Twenty-six year old Jessica is a healthy, athletic and successful mortgage broker with the world at her fingertips. One morning, during her daily run through her neighborhood, she grows suddenly lightheaded and falls unconscious on the sidewalk. A concerned passerby named Roman comes to her rescue until the paramedics arrive. Jessica is devastated to learn of her diagnosis and need for a heart transplant, especially given her young age and impeccable health.

Her worsening condition begins to hamper the daily routine that she always took for granted and even threatens her future while she waits for new heart. It encourages her to search for her estranged father to get answers about his health, which reveals some secrets of its own, while Roman, a handsome pediatrician who turns out to be her neighbor, becomes intrigued with her and they begin dating.

Jessica and her father embark on a relationship of their own, in spite of her mother’s warnings about him, and they grow closer with each day, but his wife isn’t a fan of their blossoming relationship. When Jessica’s health takes a turn for the worst, her father takes extreme measures to save her by giving her the only thing he ever wanted – his heart.

Watch for “Then Comes the Heart” in early 2022.

NEW BOOK COMING IN 2020!

I have always been a fiction writer, as my readers know and, fortunately, a crazy experience in my past has gifted me a great non-fiction story to tell!  I am currently writing it and hope to release it by Winter 2019/2020.

NEW BOOK COMING IN 2019!

All of you who know me know that I never stop writing.  Whether it’s a notebook and pen or my laptop, the words don’t stop so, with that, I am proud to announce that I am currently working on my newest fiction novel entitled “Cigars and Coffee”.

This is a story that has elements close to my heart and it is one that I’ve been wanting to write for a very long time.  It will tug on your heart strings and teach of genuine, unconditional love of family in the midst of its characters’ battles.

As the author of 4 fiction novels, I like to try my hand at different types of stories and this one is certainly new to me, but I like the way that it is coming together and I hope that my readers will, too.

I am looking to release “Cigars and Coffee” in the Fall of 2019!
