Heart of Legend is my newest romantic suspense novel in the Celtic Legends Collection. It’s available immediately for early access from Amazon and will be available widely on October 4, 2022. Please check here for details.

Filming the Welsh version of Braveheart in beautiful North Wales sets the backdrop for desire and danger with a magical touch of legend. An evocative, heartwarming, and suspenseful new love story from the award-winning author of Compulsion and Lake of Destiny. A timeless stand-alone romance in the Celtic Legends collection, filled with heart, intrigue, and magical Welsh legends. Perfect for fans of Nora Roberts, Kristin Hanna, Susanna Kearsley, Sarah Addison Allen, Susan Wiggs, and Susan Mallery.

I am fortunate to have been featured in print, radio, and television interviews about my books, literacy, reading, historical themes, bullying, and women’s issues. I came to the U.S. with my parents to escape communism, and I’m always eager to share my love for the empowerment, freedom, and opportunities of my adopted country.

I’m available for visits, workshops, and talks for events ranging from intimate to large and for ages from middle school to adult. Visits can be in person, via Skype, or via Google Hangout. Unfortunately, I can only offer three free visits a year to Title 1 schools, and I provide these on a first come, first booked basis.
