Let us look at the bright side: it’s only taken me 11 months to get going on this website. I’m giving it another shot because I finally have my first new novel to announce and here it is. Click on the cover to buy the book at Amazon in paper or for Kindle.
What The WHO’S WHO Caper is all about–
Samantha Smith is a con artist who’s trying to reform but finds that the straight and narrow path has more twists and turns than a fortune cookie.
Jayne Roberts, Sam’s mousy lookalike, is a presidential archivist and “good girl” who longs to go bad—or at least go to bed with Sam’s hunky husband.
Sam and Jayne: They don’t know what they want but get it anyway.
How They Met: Two women who look enough alike to be twins—and so different in personality that they might be from different planets–meet by chance in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport during the snowstorm of the century. Each is faced with a task she dreads. While on terminal layover, they agree to trade places with disastrous results. Among them: Samantha falls for Jayne’s dynamite half-brother and Jayne finds herself in bed with Sam’s hunky estranged husband. Going from bad to worse, they soon find themselves dodging someone with evil intent but who’s he after, Sam or Jayne?
They’re just a mistaken identity away from love, lust, danger and other natural disasters. And they don’t even like each other…much.
All I ever wanted to be was a writer.
I knew that by the time I was 10 and attempted to write my first novel—a sequel to Walter Farley’s “The Black Stallion.” I made it for maybe 10 pages. After the Black won the big race in chapter one, what else was there to say? Way back then, the word “plagiarism” was not in my vocabulary.
I was a practical child. I instinctively knew that I couldn’t just graduate from high school, write a book, ship it off to an eager publisher and become instantly rich and famous. That’s why I majored in journalism in college and when I joined the US Navy, was fortunate enough to be assigned to the journalist school, where I met my husband, a US Marine.
Along the way, I wrote and sold 35 or so category novels to Harlequin writing as Ruth Jean Dale and five novellas to Harlequin and St. Martins. Unfortunately, after an eight year break I found myself completely out of the romance mainstream. I’m somewhat adrift in the publishing world now but thank heavens for the internet! Like many others, I’ve turned to IndyPub-Independent publishing. The WHO’S WHO Caper is my first independent effort and you’ll find it on this page. I really hope you like it.
