I'm thrilled to say that my new novel, THE TOUCH OF LOVE, is finally out for everyone!!

Writing this story was truly as if I was writing the story I was always meant to tell. It's as if all paths from prior novels were leading to this one. I'd always wanted to write a love story trying to survive WW2. But I didn't think I could do it. Really. It seemed a daunting, insurmountable mountain I'd never peak. For years, I put it off as a pipe-dream for another day - one which I honestly didn't think I'd actually get to.

But like all hikes, it starts with the first step. So, I started to write it. And the story flowed like a faucet of inspiration which wouldn't shut off. I kept writing and writing because I was so engrossed in the characters. I loved them as if they're real. And I wanted to stay in the world I'd created. But then it had to end. And when the final words were written, I sat and smiled - not because of having just completed another novel. But because it was the ending which all of the characters deserved.

I have a rule when I write: I write for myself. If I can't move, entertain, or inspire myself, then how could I ever hope to do it in others? And when editing this novel multiple times, I found myself constantly moved, entertained, and inspired. Still, on the 3rd or 4th read, I'm finding myself both laughing and in tears. I did it. I loved writing TOUCH, and I missed it. I won't say I "finally" completed what I set out to accomplish ... because, honestly, each one of my prior novels has done similar things. I love them all. But with TOUCH, I did more than write a novel - I completed a goal, and I created a world that I still miss writing.
