Why am I passionate about this?
I am a romance writer. I've written four contemporary romances with heat, heart, and humor and have a new series coming out in early 2023.

Either way, it has allowed me to recommend romance stories to you with pleasure and ease.

Oh, and it had rock stars in it, always a treat for me!
