My latest short story Sunset Lake has been submitted to  http://highlandpress.org

I just finished writing Sunset Lake. This is my first short story romance in five years and just for fun I added some suspense to the mix.

4,000 words and going strong. My goal is to submit my 12,000-15,000 word short story by New Year’s.

I just passed the 1,000 word mark on my latest romantic suspense. My goal is to submit by the first of the year.

Brenda Blake the plain Jane data entry clerk secretly adores
salesman Nick. But Nick and Tori, the sexy secretary, are tied at the hips. Not
so tight that an argument doesn’t bust their Caribbean vacation plans. In a
snit, Tori tosses her tickets to Brenda who hasn’t had a vacation in four years.
So brown-wearing, ugly duckling maxes out her credit card for a  new hairdo and
bright clothes, meant just for the beach. Nick isn’t going to let his vacation
be spoiled by his spoiled girlfriend. Is Brenda ever surprised to discover the
vacation came complete with roomma te Nick!

What happens when you’re trapped inside your house with your ex-boyfriend and the whole state
is watching to see which one of you swear first? Sparks fly, tension runs high,
and you find out you’ve never stopped loving each other.

Jake considered Janie his best bud. When his business partner dared him to marry her, he finds
out she’s his best of everything. And no silly law was going to change that.
