A few words about Halloween when I was growing up. It was one of the biggest days in my small, suburban town. Everyone got into the act from stores putting up their windows for a window painting contest to people inviting trick-or-treaters into their homes for cider and donuts. 

The elementary school parade, the man who put a walkie talkie in a pumpkin on his lampost so it would talk to you, to the generous people who took time to compliment you on your costume. Thank you all. You made Halloween a memorable experience for me year after year and it is still one of my favorite holidays.

Quote from the book:  
He bent his head to her neck again and inhaled deeply, closing his eyes.
“Thought I recognized it...spring roses,” he said.
“What?”
“That's what you smell like. I'm going to call you „Springtime‟,” he said.

Six Sentence Sunday

Here is a snippet from my new release, "April's Kiss in the Moonlight":


Gavin followed her, determined to make his point all the while drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
“I studied French language, culture, and. . .” he got in front of her, forcing her back against the shed.
Gavin put a hand against the wall on either side of her head, and moved right up against her, his chest lightly touching hers. They were close enough he could smell the freshness of her newly washed hair, feel the warmth of her breath on his neck, close enough for their lips to meet. Trying hard to resist her, he leaned down slightly, his lips barely touching her ear.
“. . . and . . . how to make love to a woman,” he whispered. “Would you like me to show you?”

A little bit about the book: 

Fresh from graduate school, April McKenna, beautiful and brilliant vows to strike out on a new path rather than return to San Francisco to take a job with her father’s firm. She meets Rusty and sets off for an escapade that ends in tragedy. Injured and alone she is taken in by Sunny Davis, a friend of her mother’s who lives in a small town in the Catskill Mountains in New York.
During her recovery, April resolves to carve out an exotic life of travel and adventure. But she didn’t count on a sexy fireman upsetting her plans. Gavin Dailey has dated practically every woman in the county, but when he meets April, he knows he’s finally found the one he wants.  Only a stubborn man like Gavin wouldn’t let April’s resistance to his charm and his small town change his plans. Determined to win her, he pulls out all the stops until he encounters one stumbling block he didn’t count on. Only a near-tragedy resurrected from the past gives April the tenacity she needs to make the right decision for her life in April’s Kiss in the Moonlight.
