Coming Soon

Touched by an Angel will soon be released as a White Rose Rosette
Here is a blurb from the book jacket:

On the eve of his wife's death anniversary, Charles is as restless as the coming storm. Surrounded by the eerie stillness of the Mojave Desert, he contemplates suicide. Just as he is about to jump off the rugged cliffs of the desert, he hears the sweet, melodic voice of his wife, telling him it's not his time. And when Charles meets Emma, who looks so much like his wife she could be her twin, he is bewitched, bothered, and bewildered. And when they discover their spouses are buried side by side in the deep, quiet earth, a spiritual bonding occurs that neither can deny. Is this fate--or is Cupid shooting arrows from the sweet hereafter?

Today I received the first edits from my editor for Touched by an Angel, a White Rose Rosette and Lasting Love, a White Rose Rosette for the Easter season. It is an exciting time to be a part of two stories on their way to fruition! To read a blurb from each of these stories, visit my website at:

I also welcome any diabetic recipes you may want to share. As a type 1 diabetic, collecting sugar free desserts is one of my hobbies. With summer and all the picnics and parties ahead, I'm finding a lot of cool and refreshing treats. Here is one of my favorites:
