Hello Sweet Romance Readers,
It is a pleasure and an honor to be welcomed back to the
Sweet Romance Reads group. 2016 was a
very hard year for many of us, and I hope you are all looking forward to a
happy and prosperous 2017. I’m happy to
say that I have three books completed in my Oklahoma
Girls series for Harlequin Heartwarming. At Odds With the Midwife was released in November 2016 and The Husband She Can't Forget will be a February 2017 release, available in a few days. His Twin Baby Surprise will be released in May 2017.
Writing this series was fun because I got to create Gemma, Carly, and Lisa, three
lifelong best friends who always have each other’s backs. I also enjoyed creating Nathan, Luke, and Ben, the men who love and
challenge them. Setting the books in Oklahoma gave me an opportunity to visit family there as I did research for the stories and developed the town of Reston and the sometimes quirky people who live there.
Most of my books have been set in Arizona where I was born and raised, and where I've lived most of my life. I have ideas for a new series of books, but haven't decided on a state or community in which to set them. I welcome any suggestions.
Warmest thoughts for a happy new year.
Patricia, I'm drawn to small town stories. I think it's the tightknit feel of community where everyone knows everyone and comes together to support each other when there's a need.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like, too, Mary. I grew up in a small town, so they have a warm place in my heart.
DeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteI'm from a small town, and small towns are the best! And your stories sounds wonderful.
Thanks, Josie!
