*SOMEWHERE by the Sea (Kindle, Paperback, Large Print Paperback, Audiobook) Romance on the Ranch Series 6-10 (Kindle, Paperback) Romance on the Ranch Series 1-5 (Kindle, Paperback) Romance on the Ranch Collection 1-3 (Kindle, Paperback) I have also written a Young Adult novella titled 'Fragile Hearts' using the pen name of Colleen Clay. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book. I have written over thirty romance novels and novellas in the genres of contemporary western, historical western, contemporary, and paranormal/fantasy. After years of procrastinating, I tried my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries, but when I reached my teen years the romance genre became my favorite, and that has never changed. Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. My perfect day: coffee shop laptop latte characters demanding their stories be told a plot that comes together and hours to live in an alternate reality.
