I write love stories about second chances at love, set in the past and present. My romance sub genres include historical, time travel, and contemporary closed door. I have been awarded the Georgia Author of the Year Award in the historical category twice (2024 and 2019).
I earned my English literature degree from the University of Georgia and MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University. I am a member of the Atlanta Writers Club and the Georgia Romance Writers.
When I am not writing, I'm reading the latest cozy mystery, taking nature walks, supporting charities, and watching BBC television. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our two grown daughters and their families and totally spoiling our two grandsons and four grand-dogs.
I am on the advisory board of The Feeney Legacy Project and support its mission to advocate calling 911 and administering CPR to save lives of anyone in medical distress.

A Tryst in Paris: A Time Travel Romance
Mirabelle becomes The Carousel Time Traveler and falls for a French rogue.
What happens in 1900 Paris stays in 1900 Paris . . .or will it?
When Mirabelle Montgomery visits the Luxembourg Carousel in Paris, a mysterious time shifter sweeps her into the Carousel’s time travel vortex and transports her to 1900 Paris. Her return will be allowed once she completes her mission to restore a man’s fate gone wrong. But whose?
Upon meeting dangerously sexy Jacques Thibaut, Mirabelle believes she has found her man. His life’s purpose as a stellar police detective has been derailed by accusations of his plotting with anarchists to overthrow the French government.
If she proves Jacques to be innocent, his life will be reset to its rightful providence. He will win back his job and those who once believed in him, including the woman he planned to marry.
Mirabelle’s determination to complete her mission kindles passion between them. But their falling in love will jeopardize everything, for his true destiny does not include her. Besides, even if her heart desires, she cannot remain in 1900 Paris . . . can she?
