AND–If you get a chance, please check out my entry Tidal Patterns. It’s a sweet romance that I hope you’ll love. I had a ton of fun writing (and editing) this one. Thanks as always for your support!

I’m finishing up the first draft for my entry into this year’s So You Think You Can Write contest. The setting is a break from my beloved North Woods of Wisconsin. This time I’m heading south to the stunning Golden Isles of Southeast Coastal Georgia.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time on St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. The landscape is both tropical and familiar. The typical palm tress and luscious plants along the beaches and the sea contrast the spectacular maritime forests of oak and pine tress mingled in amidst marshes. It’s a special and unique place and I hope to do it justice!

I’m updating my entry with each chapter as they are edited. Come check it out on Wattpad and please read through some of the other entries. There are some amazing, undiscovered authors over there. And be sure to vote for your favorites!

The best part of writing romance is the community of authors who raise each other up! If you love romance, come over to Wattpad and find your next favorite book during Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write 2015.
