One Dance with You

My Regency short story, One Dance with You, is now available for Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook! I enjoyed writing this story of a young woman who gives up on love, only to discover it again in the most unexpected place.

A Sequestered Nook

I come by my love of romances honestly, starting at a relatively young age. My three sisters and I cut our romance teeth on Barbara Cartland. When we were in high school, a friend at church introduced us to Georgette Heyer; and by the time the oldest of us hit college age, we were deeply immersed in every book ever written by Jane Austen.

That's when we tried our hands at writing romances of our own, weaving stories of high drama and delicious romance that we happily read to each other as we sat at our kitchen table.

Looking back, I recall that our stories were short, deeply romantic, and preposteriously plotted. But at the time, my sisters and I were hugely entertained. And isn't that the purpose of a good story -- to entertain?

Since those early teenage years of scribbling stories with my sisters, my writing style has changed, evolved, and improved (at least, I think it's improved!). But no matter how much I've changed as a person or as an author, I still cherish a soft spot in my heart and mind for a traditional Regency romance.

I love to read them . . . and I still love to write them. The world of the Regency Romance is a world of harmony, good manners, sparkling conversation, gallant gentlemen, lovely heroines, and -- above all -- true love. It's romance at its finest!

Join me in a Regency romance, won't you?
