And one lovely and super-talented lady.

What Drives My Muse~
You
think I’d have a really great answer to that, but ultimately all my books have
started with music. A song gets stuck in
my head and BAM! I hear voices and see people who aren’t there. Does that make me insane? I seriously don’t know but I do know that
since my muse has been talking, I’ve been having the time of my life. I’m a huge fan of romantic comedy. The more outrageous, the better! Which is where my writing leans. I love those feel good stories that make you
laugh, cry, and sigh during the same book.
Roxanne,
by The Police was the song that inspired the opening scene in Dating 911, the
first book in my Dating Series. And my
hero, firefighter Jett Avery was spurred on by Nickelback’s album, Dark Horse. The more I listened, the more I wrote.
In my
latest release, The Doctor’s Deception, my hero, Dr. Stone Lassiter has key
memories of lost love triggered by Whitesnake’s song, Is This Love? He has closed his heart off and completely
thrown himself into his work. This has
been a way of life for him for so long, it is hard for him to see how cold and
empty his life has become. That is,
until nurse Faith Daniels shows him what he has been missing.

music inspires you to lose yourself or sparks a memory so strong you get all

Blurb:
Hard-headed, straight-laced
Dr Stone Lassiter is one heart surgeon about to lose everything he’s worked his
entire career for. He is locked in a
battle of wills against the nurses of the surgical intensive care unit of
Deerborne County General. At first, the
new doctor was definitely drool-worthy.
Sexy or not, the nurses have had enough!
Their secret weapon? Unsuspecting SICU nurse, Faith Daniels, a cool
green-eye blonde that turns Dr. Lassiter’s head every time she’s near. Poor Faith has the “worst luck” in drawing
the short straw and is forced to work with Dr. Lassiter repeatedly. Will the
nurses’ plan to have Dr. Lassiter fall in love with one of their own work in
softening him toward the nursing staff? Or will the little white lie Stone
tells Faith to enlist her aid to obtain his goal destroy the fragile bond of
love that has developed between them?
Excerpt:
Faith
moaned and woke to the constant chiming of her doorbell and pounding on the
front door. The wonderful, erotic dream
of Stone painting her with melted chocolate burst.
She
lifted her head and glanced at her clock. 7:00a.m. Groaning, she pulled the
covers over her head and rolled onto her stomach, trying to recapture her
fantasy. Maybe whoever it was would go
away if she ignored them.
Ding-dong… Ding-dong… Ding-dong…
“Oh,
give it a rest already!” she yelled, climbing out of bed. The cool morning air hit her bare legs and
arms, and she shivered.
She
reached the front door and yanked it open.
Stone
Lassiter stood on her step, hand in air, ready to pound the unrelenting wood
again.
Staring,
her fogged brain tried to wake up.
Hadn’t he just been in her room?
No, that wasn’t real you nit-wit!
“You!
What’s the big idea? Do you
realize how early it is? It’s my day
off!”
Not to mention, I was in the middle of
the best dream of my life.
