AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Q – What's interesting about this contemporary series?
A – The Love, California series is a blend of women's contemporary fiction and romance with strong female leads, close girlfriend friendships, and romantic relationships. The single women in the Love, California series are stylish, creative, and smart, but like any of us, they sometimes make mistakes. I really enjoy helping them overcome their challenges.

My award-winning books have reached the top ten bestseller list in prestigious Rizzoli Bookstore, and as high as #14 on the Amazon Top 100 List for paid books. And I'm thrilled that my historical romances, Scent of Triumph and The Winemakers, are published by St. Martin's Press, a leading New York publisher.
Q – And what kind of books do you like to read?
A – I read widely across genres. I love Barbara Taylor Bradford family sagas series, Lauren Willig historical fiction books, Melissa Foster romance novel series, Elizabeth Adler epic sagas, Anita Hughes contemporary fiction novels, Danielle Steel strong female leads, Michelle Gable Paris novels, Marie Force romance best sellers, and Candace Bushnell contemporary fiction bestsellers. These are the ones I love to snuggle with by the fireplace.
