Please tell us about your latest book.

Wounded but Victorious

After three agonizing years of surgeries and rehab, U.S. Army veteran Jason Donahue is ready to leave the Iraq War in the past and rejoin society. Yet, no matter the success he achieves at work, people wince every time they see him.

Everyone but Emily Riley. From the first, the beautiful redhead looks past his disfigurement and sees him. In return, Jason wants to buy her everything she deserves, starting with her dream home and going from there. Yet Emily has scars of her own, a past she’s not ready to reveal. Only when they both come clean, when they view each other through the eyes of love and trust, will they know that, when a good man and a good woman give each other their heart, the two will always have more than enough.

down-home family style meal?

A road trip! My husband and I like to pile in the SUV, set
the GPS (or not) and go where our curiosity takes us, having destinations in
mind but at the same time the freedom to stop and explore if we see something
that interests us.

I play four instruments and perform in two bands, a dulcimer

mixture of fun numbers

Romance novels-what else?

Wow-that depends on the book. For ‘Daughter of Valor’ and
its two accompanying Lunchbox romances, I Googled everything from prostheses to
IED and RPG explosions to grenades to paraplegic sex. I also do hands-on
research. For my next book, ‘Never and Always’, I learned to make soap.
