- À propos de moi
- I write historical romances for Leisure Books. I love stories that are full of adventure, passion and need a map inside the front cover.
My first title, MAIDENSONG hit the shelves last May. It's the tale of Rika, a Nordic bard and her love for the man who is oath-bound to deliver her to the arms of another. MAIDENSONG was just named a 2007 WRITE TOUCH READER'S CHOICE AWARD FINALIST and a 2007 GOLDEN QUILL FINALIST.
Next came ERINSONG, a love story between an Irish Princess and a Viking raider. Sometimes passion doesn't recognize the enemy. RT BookReviews called ERINSONG "lushly romantic."
SILK DREAMS, a harem tale, will be available at your local booksellers July 3, 2007. Byzantine intrigue and forbidden desires swirl through this story of an epileptic who must pretend her seizures send her glimpses of the future and the exiled guard who loves her and longs to give her SILK DREAMS.

Pirate Name Contest
When I first had the idea to have a Pirate Name contest on my website, I had no idea my readers would come up with such inventive entries. The final voting for the best Pirate Name is going on right now! Check them out and then cast your vote today!
Pirate Name Finalists! (in no particular order)
Arabella Du Bois, The Bell
- I could see this madame of the seas quite clearly, elegant and deadly. She's definitely a lady with a past . . . and maybe a grudge to settle in the future.
Hornswogglin' Holly, Hold onto yer Belongin's
- This made me laugh! The bag-lady of the Caribbean!
Stabber Stella, Neurotic Sea Wench
- She's a terror in a melee, but I bet her mates sleep lightly when she's in the next hammock.
Captain Ian Michael Wycked, "I.M. Wycked"
- My DH picked this one. He loves puns. Don't tell him I think Ian Michael Wycked sounds sort of sexy, too!
Greenbeard, aka "Old Moldly"
- Can we say clever? This entry took a pirate stereotype and gave it such a fun twist.
Captain Iva Gott Scurvey
- Any entry that made Diet Coke shoot out my nose had to be included in the finalists.
Captain Billy Blackjack, Butcher of Barbados
- Loved the alliteration. No wonder my book titles are PLEASURING THE PIRATE, DISTRACTING THE DUCHESS and coming March 2009 VEXING THE VISCOUNT!
Iron Balls McCormmick
- There's a picture! Oh! You meant cannon balls? Sorry. My bad. . .
Captain Sebastian Ashley Bennington
- A gentleman-turned-pirate, dark, hawkish good looks, a smoky voice, and a wicked hand with a blade. The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Seas.
Captain Greydon Quinn, the Wraith of St. Jude
- Definitely a ghost pirate here. Almost like an avenging angel, with his halo slightly askew.
Well, there they are. Aren't they terrific? Remember, in this contest YOU can win, too!
