Excerpt
She took Jon’s picture off the table, caressed
the beloved image. She’d talked to him every day the last thirty years of her
life and had no qualms about talking to him now. Far sight better than talking
to herself.
Maybe.
She swallowed convulsively and stroked his face,
his smile, his eyes. “I dreamed of you again. You were so alive and healthy.
Radiant. Oh, God…” The words trembled on a sob. “How I wish it were so.”
She longed to touch him; to trace his moustache,
run her fingers through his hair...press her lips to his. Her arms ached to
hold him close. Why is it he appeared so full of life when she’d watched him
die? Day after day, she’d watched the strong, beautiful man wither away into a
mere shell, and in one moment, with one final gasp of breath, his life was
over.
“I visit you daily, yet everything seems so
surreal. Like I’m walking through a dream.” She shoved the picture back onto
the table, bit her lip and nearly choked on the hard knot of anger in her
throat. “No, not a dream. Dreams are wonderful, full of hope and magic. This is
a nightmare.”

Research Tidbits
Not
a whole lot. I did research the setting (Utopia, TX) but being familiar with the
Texas Hill Country, writing descriptions was easy. The story is of one woman’s
journey through grief into new life and parallels my own.
Interview Questions
What
was your first published work and when was it published?
Tempered Hearts, book 1 in my series, was published in
2000.
If
you had to choose one person to have dinner with, who would it be? And why?
Nora Roberts! She is my all-time-favorite author
and I’d just love to sit and have a conversation about her life outside of
writing.
Do
you recall how your interest in writing originated?
Unfortunately, yes, LOL! While pregnant with my
daughter who is now 39 I got tired of reading too many disappointing romances and
thought I could do better. A bit arrogant because writing and writing well are
two different things. However, that’s what got me started penning stories in
5-subject notebooks which I did for YEARS. After which came a word processor,
then computer and as they say, the rest is History.
