Born and raised in the San Luis Valley in Colorado, I was used to my imagination being in the clouds at 8,500 feet up. It was easy to get caught daydreaming with such a beautiful place to live in. I was blessed with three beautiful daughters, so school always played a big part in what we did. My first book, Prisoners in Time. An Amy Jones Adventure came about when my oldest daughter decided to break the mold for traditional science fair projects and create a video where she goes back in time to meet the inventor of plastics.
As the scenes progressed, we built a cardboard "Time Machine" complete with Christmas tree lights, controls, and a seat. She got an A+. Later my youngest daughter asked for the time machine to come to her classroom for a show and tell. She spent an hour telling me about the adventures she and her friends had in the cardboard box but that was what I needed to start writing.
This new book was inspired by a photo of a rose lying on a log that is resting on a beach off the coast of Washington State. I Love's Unexpected Bloom was born from that photo. I feel so very blessed to join the ranks of authors before me and to know that people will be able to escape into a world where a seemingly normal woman can turn bad for money. I will continue to write now that I have this wonderful platform to share them on. This book is also available on Draft2Digital. https://books2read.com/u/mda70l. Enjoy the book.

Finding Our Groove
As June continued, the three of us got into the groove of our Sunday talks. It helped so much to know that Liliya understood my words, and I understood hers. She was intrigued by my quiet life after the divorce and my choice not to date anyone. When I told her about that woman from church, she laughed, saying that she knew a few women who were like that.
It became clear to me that life in Russia was different from the US. A large...
Almost Lost Her
I almost couldn’t sleep after talking with Liliya. She was even more beautiful than I imagined, and this fueled my desire to keep the dialogue going.
We exchanged email addresses and tried to make arrangements to video chat with her at least once a week. Sitting in front of my computer monitor at home, I had a hard time trying to imagine what it must be like to have to go to an Internet Cafe to do business or chat with family and friends.

Hitting Record
As I continue to watch Russian Brides, I back up to my recliner. The more the show played, the more I knew that I wanted to keep it. I jumped up and headed for the VCR to slip in a new tape, and pushed record.
With the recording, I was able to get the website address for the Russian dating site that had the highest rating out of the 10 listed.
With my debit card in hand, I signed up quickly and then got busy filling out the information for my profile. The site had a spot for a...
