Travis
Description
Travis is a slow burn, small town, second chance romance, filled with Christmas miracles and plenty of heat, about a couple that has separated for the right reasons, but have their HEA for all the right reasons, too. There is an addictive hook at the end that leads to the next book in the series. A crushing breakup. A secretive fiancé. An unwelcome new face in town. And a Christmas miracle that could fix it all...or ruin everything. So, I'm sitting in the car, with my new assistant. We just met new clients. Big clients. Clients that will help me buy that game changing Christmas present for my favorite niece. Everything rides on this project. Everything since Travis, that is. But I knew something was wrong the second we shook hands. I can think of a million things that could nix this deal. I've seen many and lived to tell. But something tells me that what I'm about to learn next will put us in a sticky situation. I just hope that what I'm guessing isn't true... *** I watch him strut out of Becky's car and my skin crawls. Now, I'm not a jealous guy, this isn't about that. My boss, Laura, sees it, too. While the Christmas decorations get pulled out for an early celebration, I cross my fingers, and hope to God that what my instincts are telling me isn't true. Becky did what she had to do to make it right. I get that. But what bridges get burned now? In the coming weeks, before Christmas, it becomes clear. But will it be enough to get it all back? And then, just when I think I've lost it all, strangely enough, my lucky number shows me the way... Holiday romance Christmas romance Second chance romance Happily ever after romance Steamy romance Slow burn romance Medium heat Mild foul language Cliffhanger ending

Person
Some have said that if you see me on the street (usually with a book in hand or a laptop fired up), I appear a cold, hard-fisted person. However, once we've spoken for five minutes or less, you'll have laughed at least once. That is, provided you appreciate sarcastic, self-deprecating wit.
My first short story was penned in middle school and I was hooked ever since.
I graduated with honours from Humber College and began working as an Administrative Coordinator for a large, multinational corporation shortly afterward. Quickly learning that the corporate world, despite the love I had for my job, is a slow killer of creativity, I chose to quit during maternity leave in 2006.
Difficulty thinking outside the box soon evaporated when I received something that didn't come in one: my first child. While at home with the baby my imaginative energy got the better of me and my first memoir was written. It had been a dream of mine to write about my late father, who passed away from alcoholism in 1992, and it took me two years to compose a fifty-page manuscript, but I did it.
After my second daughter was born in 2008 I had more fuel to write, and felt it necessary to voice the challenges and inherent gifts I acquired during my struggles with Scoliosis. Hence, my second memoir was born. The words flowed out of me with such ease I shocked myself.
My love for words grew with each book I read and every word I wrote. I soon realized I had no more material to write non-fiction, which led me to take a stab at fiction. The next two books were such a revelation: it became more and more clear what my true calling was. The rest, as they say, is history!
