Stella & Dane keep their small town talking with their dangerous romance.

Stella and Dane were characters from my first novel, Baby Dust. Their backstory was so rich with crazy stunts and wild behavior that my fans asked if I would write a book just about them.

No doubt there is one part of the book that has all the reviewers talking, and if you Google the title, you’ll see this excerpt all over the place — the water tower scene.

In my own small town, the water tower was the only tall structure. You could see it from any house and any street. Lots of us climbed it to spray paint the sides. In my novel, Stella and Dane’s first, well, uh, “encounter” occurs on the water tower ladder several stories in the air. This makes for tricky positioning, and to make sure it was actually feasible, I had to take my husband out to try it! (He HAS to wonder what he’s gotten into–we’ve only been married three months.)

I have gone part-time on my day job as writing is quickly taking over, but I am also a photographer.

I’ve photographed families, babies, and weddings for over a decade, and watching how people behave before and after the shutter clicks is a useful study in how people wish to be viewed versus how they really are.

I never thought I’d write romance, but after the crazy success of Stella & Dane, I’m launching a 10-book series set in a party shop, where all the employees and customers find love, one holiday at a time.

If you like author Susan Elizabeth Phillips, or indie writers of upbeat romance like “Practice Cakes” by Dalya Moon or “Hooked” by Polly Iyer, you’ll love Stella & Dane.
