Another recent release that's garnering some attention is "Rose in Bloom." This #friendstolovers #novella is my first foray into #contemporaryromance, and it's already received two awards -- including a #goldmedal in the #globalebookawards

Time to talk about my latest release! #PompeiiFire is a #dualtimeline #HistoricalFiction #novella of which I am very proud. Researched in person just before the pandemic and released in August of this year, the book has already garnered three awards.

#WordWeavers Do films or theatre play a role in your story?

Absolutely. In #PompeiiFire, Drusilla and Suetonius attend a production of Plautus' "Pseudolas." It gave me an opportunity to talk about social mores in ancient Roman society; men and women were not seated together at most entertainments.

#WordWeavers 11.3 — Who is your favorite antagonist? Why?

Wow. It's hard to pick just one ... but I'd have to go with Delphine LaLaurie. She's an actual historical personage ... and she was even worse in real life than she was in my book! She wants Alcide for her daughter, Pauline, in "Bayou Fire," and is willing to go to any length to get her way.

#WordWeavers 11.2 — Do your characters play any games?

I had to think about this one ... and the only scene I can think of is in "Bayou Fire," where Alcide Devereaux gambles at cards. There's discussion of another card game in the book, but it's used as part of a ruse.
