Coming to Rosemont (A BookBub Bestseller):
Forensic accountant Maggie Martin’s well-ordered life is shattered by her husband’s untimely death and the double life he concealed. Dealing with the financial and emotional wreckage left in Paul’s wake, she is stunned to learn he inherited an estate known as Rosemont in the seemingly-serene Midwestern town of Westbury. Seeking a fresh start and a quiet, solitary life, she moves halfway across the country to make Rosemont her home. Before she can unpack her first box, she’s knee-deep in a battle against political corruption, where defeat and retreat are not an option. Still bearing the scars of betrayal, will she find joy, romance and possibility in Westbury?
Weaving the Strands (the Second Novel in the Rosemont series):
In this second book in the beloved Rosemont series, newly-elected Mayor Maggie Martin’s plans to start a serene new life have been derailed. At the epicenter of Westbury’s worsening financial crisis, she’s dealing with the looming foreclosure of a retirement community as well as a suspicious death. As public criticism abounds, she may be trusting people she shouldn’t. An uncertain relationship with her favorite veterinarian just adds to the pressure. Meanwhile, her nemesis, Frank Haynes, is stirring the pot and sowing the seeds of her destruction. But will his new assistant from Scottsdale turn the tables on him? With trouble all around and traitors in her midst, will the winds of change blow favorably or foul for Rosemont’s irrepressible owner?
Uncovering Secrets (the Third Novel in the Rosemont series):
Mayor Maggie Martin is knee-deep in the financial problems facing Westbury. The investigation into the fraud and embezzlement that created these problems is going nowhere and she’s on the hot seat to produce results. The bad guys are always one step ahead, with bribes and blackmail at their disposal. Her late husband’s mistress also has an ace to play against Frank Haynes. But will he slip through the net once again?
Meanwhile, Rosemont’s attic gives up its secrets; some welcome, some not. Will Frank Haynes establish his claim to Rosemont?
Interview with the Author
Q: Have you always wanted to be a writer?
A: I'm an attorney and have done a lot of technical writing, but knew I wanted to write novels. I thought I'd find time when I retired. Fate stepped in, as it often does, and put me on this path sooner. I broke my neck in an auto accident and suffered from double vision for months. I couldn't read or watch TV, so I conceived the plot for my 5 book Rosemont series.
Q: Why did you decide to write a series?
A: I prefer television series to movies. The longer format of television allows for deeper character development. The same holds true for series fiction. I like to fall in love with a character or hate a character (but root for them to change their ways). I feel like Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi from Alexander McCall Smith's Ladies' Detective Agency series are old friends. I wanted to recreate that sort of connection in the Rosemont series.
Q: What other authors do you read or admire?
A: I'm a fan of women's fiction, women's sagas, and romance. I love Rosamunde Pilcher's later trilogy - The Shell Seekers, Coming Home, and September. Jan Karon's Mitford series creates an enchanting world, as does Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove.
