Welcome
I write romance and women's fiction - an eclectic mix of subject matter that appeals to me. Whether I'm working on a relationship novel, a romantic comedy, or a really sexy read, all my books have one thing in common: I care about the characters I write about. People matter in my books. My readers matter, too. Naturally, I think they're some of the most intelligent people in the world <G>.

THE WOMAN WHO LOVED JESSE JAMES
Zee Mimms was just nineteen in 1864—the daughter of a stern Methodist minister in Missouri—when she fell in love with the handsome, dashing, and already notorious Jesse. He was barely more than a teenager himself, yet had ridden with William Quantrill’s raiders during the Civil War.
“You’ll marry a handsome young man,” a palm reader had told her. “A man who will make you the envy of many. But . . . there will be hard times.”
Zee and Jesse’s marriage proved the palmist right. Jesse was a dangerous puzzle: a loving husband and father who kept his “work” separate from his family, though Zee heard the lurid rumors of his career as a bank robber and worse. Still, she never gave up on him.
And he earned her love, time and again.
