I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with two adorable rescue dogs, Merlin the Wonder Dog and Lexi the Aussie Shepherd, a cantankerous Himalayan cat who is now 20 years old, and too many fish to count. I have two handsome sons and six adorable grandchildren. By day, I'm a respectable citizen , but after hours my imagination soars and I become a writer of romances that span the galaxy and encompass beings of all sizes, shapes and origins. I first started telling stories as a child and I just couldn't seem to stop. So, I figured I might as well make it official. I became a published author.
My other hobbies include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.

Meet Merlin the wonder dog. He can dance on his hind legs for minutes on end (especially if there is a treat in site), make cookies dissappear faster than the speed of light and is willing to listen to me go on endlessly about the problems in my romance plots. His hobbies are running agility courses and conning small humans out of any food they happen to be holding. Except onions. He doesn't like onions. He loves carrots, though, especially raw crunchy ones.
Jeff is a gorgeous twenty pound long haired feline that likes to hide and ambush Merlin when he is least expecting it. He refuses to eat anything but Meow Mix, loves to watch the fish swim in the aquarium and likes to be brushed every single morning before I have my coffee. His hobbies include attacking anything that moves, and collecting
Jeff is a gorgeous twenty pound long haired feline that likes to hide and ambush Merlin when he is least expecting it. He refuses to eat anything but Meow Mix, loves to watch the fish swim in the aquarium and likes to be brushed every single morning before I have my coffee. His hobbies include attacking anything that moves, and collecting rubber bands in little piles beside his food dish. I am guilty of sprinkling rubber bands around the house so he's too busy to attack my legs. I'm not sure he believes in romance.
Lexi came to me from an unknown background. She was picked up as a stray in the neighbouring town, and when no one claimed her after a couple of weeks, she was taken to the local animal shelter where she cowered in terror. She fought like a bear against collars and leashes (It took 4 people to get a harness on her) and I carried her to my
Lexi came to me from an unknown background. She was picked up as a stray in the neighbouring town, and when no one claimed her after a couple of weeks, she was taken to the local animal shelter where she cowered in terror. She fought like a bear against collars and leashes (It took 4 people to get a harness on her) and I carried her to my van to bring her home. Despite her size, she weighed in under 30lbs. and the vet estimated she was a year old at most. Merlin took an immediate shine to her and she looked to him for guidance. If he walked through a doorway, she would. If he let a person approach, she figured they were safe. Now, almost 9 months later, she has blossomed into a delightful addition to the house and office. She loves children, food, and playing in the yard, but she still follows Merlin's lead in any new situation. They have become each other's shadows.
