Trucker Owner-Operator Jeremy and his co-worker Carlos are sixty-three miles away from seeing cute little waitress Shelby when they get into an argument in the middle of the desert. Jeremy is trying to get Carlos' opinion on what to wear to best impress Shelby. Carlos is reluctant on stating his preference but being raised as an only child has no chance of winning any disagreement with Jeremy, who was raised with four brothers and three sisters and trained well in the art of winning verbal battles.
The dialog in 63 Miles to Shelby was fun and convincing. Once Jeremy and Carlos make it to the city of Barstow and the best "…dive in the lower forty-eight" where Shelby works, the dilemma for Carlos increases as he hides his attraction to Jeremy, while Jeremy is sweet on Shelby, but Shelby put the moves on Carlos! I enjoyed this fun tale of "who's kissing who" and the friendship between Jeremy and Carlos.

I can't believe how many people have downloaded "63 Miles to Shelby"--I'm estatic! It makes me so happy to know Jeremy and Carlos (characters you're sure to love if you already don't!) have so many fans!

In the Vintage Rose line, "Ruckus and Chick" is coming in at #7 while "Amazing Grace" is at #2. And over in the busy-busy Champagne Rose line, "Caught Up In the Moment" has been hanging out at #4.
Somedays, it all seems like too much fun. :)
Take care,

So, I entered the San Antonio Romance Authors' Merritt Contest...never thinking anything would come of it. But this weekend, I found out I finaled in my category! I finished in the top three in Single Title Contemporary.
I'm so excited--I can't believe my entry did as well as it did. And what wonderful motivation to keep plotting along to finish the book!

The Wild Rose Press has offered me a contract for another short story. Coming soon:
Amazing Grace
Vintage Miniature Rose
Only drastic action would convince Grace Canady just how wrong she was. Sure, Martin Winters was a summer guest. And yes, summer guests always left Canady Lodge after Labor Day. But he needed her, and he'd be damned if he'd leave without a fight. As autumn chill nipped the air, Martin set about amazing Grace.
