On Saturday, January 13th, the Aspen Drive Library held the annual local author fair. Thanks to the amazing staff this year’s event was bigger and better than ever! We had a wonderful turn-out and I had a romance author buddy to share a table with this year, the fabulous romantic suspense author C.J. Warrant. Seated kitty-corner from our table was author Clara Kensie with her RITA! (swoon!).

I had a great time. Meeting readers and chatting with other authors is how I’d love to spend every day. I have a soft spot in my heart for libraries and really can’t say enough good things about the staff of the Cook Memorial Library (both branches).

Here’s a picture of our table this year. If you didn’t make it out, I hope you’ll come next year!

I studied art history in college and grad school. Art history is a passion of mine, which shouldn’t be a surprise if you read my books. I can’t help but sneak in careers and storylines around works of art. In Royal Collection, my Kindle World novella, a rediscovered Titian causes problems for the hero and heroine.

The premise, that a work by Titian was sold to cover a debt from King Charles I, is based in truth. Charles amassed an amazing collection of art that was sold off after the republicans overthrew him. Art was scattered all over and this year a rather unique exhibition united as many of the paintings as possible. (Wish I could go!!!)

An ‘impossible dream’: Charles I’s art collection to be brought back to UK

In recent years, there have been some significant works of art coming out of the shadows. I was very inspired by the Leonardo da Vinci painting, Salvator Mundi, that recently sold and smashed all sorts of records (article about the painting, click here). As if the works of art themselves aren’t enough to capture the imagination, finding treasure when you least expect is inspiring.

Thanks to her job, Darcy Rogus has been relocated to the middle of nowhere. But with her determination to succeed and her best friend by her side, nothing is going to sidetrack Darcy achieving her career goals, especially not a handsome and brooding next-door neighbor.

Ben Hampton has put his life on hold to take care of his ailing mother, and he can’t let himself get distracted by anything, even if those distractions come with enticing hazel eyes.

When a misunderstanding has unexpected ramifications, Darcy and Ben can’t get out of each other’s way fast enough. Staying away is easier said than done on an island of fewer than three hundred people.
