What does it take to be a bestselling author? Determination, skill, talent, luck or taking a risk with a venture into a totally new genre. For me it was a little of some and a lot of the others.
In 2008 when I got two books published I thought it was due to skill; little did I know it was more luck than anything. Over the next three years I wrote, submitted, got rejected. I then did what I tell everyone who asks; I wrote some more. I didn’t give up.
More on a dare than anything I tried my hand at a regency, one of the most difficult genres because of the rules, which I might add I broke almost every one. Within two days of its release the book was on a best seller list and stayed there for two months.
Turns out it is all of the aforementioned.
After two failed marriages, one from divorce while with the other died unexpectedly I decided upon retirement to move. That opportunity came in September 2012 when I migrated to Texas.
For me, as a multipublished author, it was one of the best things I’ve done to date. Now, every day I can write, creating stories to take my readers to places they can only dream about.
I’m also a member of the Published Authors Network (PAN) by the Romance Writers of America (RWA).
The
Masked Lady and The MurderBlurb-
When Lord Robert Markson, Viscount
of Hampshire, is force to return to England to find out who murdered his father
and older brother he’s in for a surprise.
It comes in the guise of Lady Kristina
Rosewood, daughter to the Earl and Countess of Crossington. To many she’s
quartz but to him a multifaceted diamond.
While recovering from an attempt
on his life which thrust them closer together they work through emotions for
each other while sorting through letters sent to his mother years ago. Slowly,
they’re able to discover the one man who could have set the murders in motion.
The only problem, he’s been dead for years so who could it be and more
importantly why now.
Once all the evidence is compiled
the answer is something neither could believe as the threat comes from within
the late viscount’s house.
The
Guilty CountessBlurb-
Accused of murdering her husband,
Lady Donna Kersey turns to the only people who can prove her innocence, her
brother and his new bride.
As Robert and Kristina start their
search for the real killer they learn the murder might be more complicated than
first thought. Uncovering evidence sends the three in pursuit of a possible
suspect only to find this person is innocent, or is he not guilty of the murder
but not something else.
When Robert and Kristina learn
Lord Kersey might not be exactly who they believe him to be that’s when the
facts become murky. It takes a surprise visit by Kristina’s brother to help set
the record straight which only adds more confusion to the facts.
Will Robert and Kristina find the
killer of Lord Kersey before the authorities take Lady Kersey away in irons?
The
Earl’s Spitfire Blurb-
At a house party a midnight gallop
on a purloined horse leads Lady Sophia Walker into something she wasn’t
expecting-a marriage proposal.
Barely knowing Lord Peter Gardner,
7th Earl of Modbury, Sophia devises a unique plan to make sure they
will get along.
What neither realizes, there’s
another, Lady Agatha Crumbly, wishes to become Lord Gardner’s countess and will
stop at nothing to achieve her goal.
Returning to London Peter lives up
to his promise. As they learn about each other he soon finds out she has an
affinity for a certain flower. To help prove his devotion to her he proceeds to
deck out his town carriage in them.
As the date of their wedding
quickly approaches Lady Crumbly makes another appearance, this time threatening
Sophia.
Will Lord Peter Gardner arrive in
time to save his beloved from death, or will the other win what she wants?
