Hi from the California coast!

I live in a cottage not far from the sea with my husband, kids, and cranky dog. We gave up square footage for beach proximity - not a bad trade :). 

I write beach-themed novels and I'm in the process of posting the first one, Chocolate Beach, here. It originally pubbed in 2007 and sold a bunch of copies, but I need help updating it. Hoping that you'll all chime in on what parts are seriously out of date. 

There are two more books in this "Chocolate" series ... Truffles by the Sea and more recently, Mocha Sunrise.  I also wrote the Otter Bay Novels for another publisher. In addition to novels, I sometimes write short stories and novellas, many with elements of faith in varying degrees. All of my books can be found on my website, Amazon, and other online retailers. Here are a couple of links, if you're interested:

I love to connect with readers and writers on all sorts of projects - not just my own. I'm addicted to my e-reader and love to jump online after reading a particularly mind-boggling story (Gone Girl, anyone?), just to see what others are saying about it. Maybe next time, I'll connect with you.

Until then ... enjoy Chocolate Beach and let me know what you think I can do to spruce it up :). Thanks a bunch!
