My parents were married for fifty-three years. I wasn’t so lucky. I spent many years as a “single mother.” Of course, that experience found its way in many of my books.
Darby, in the Ghost Mountain Ranch series, is the widowed mother of two adult children, Slade and Kelsey. Her children both have a story in the romantic mystery series.
DARBY: What is the truth behind the death of Darby’s mother? When the past once again intrudes on the present, will Darby do what she’s always done—what her mother did—and run away? Grief and secrets had torn Darby and Hank apart once. Given a second chance at love, will the revelation of more shocking secrets from the past destroy their hopes for the future?

The same goes for Liz in the Dawsons of Montana. When a handsome stranger arrives at the ranch, Liz—divorced and widowed—fears her daughter-in-law is playing matchmaker. Her children, Brody, and Mercer, and her stepson Ben, are also featured in this contemporary western series.
LIZ: Jim’s widow is alone again with a ranch to run. Sometimes second chances come when least expected. Can Liz take a leap of faith with the new man in her life?
What do you think? Are books better if the author writes what she knows? Or can an author use her imagination to create a book?
I think it’s a bunch of both. Even when writing about a knight in 1282, I still put a bunch of myself in the story. I can’t write about things in which I don’t believe. And I’m always searching for Happily Ever After.

I think that if we just wrote about what we know, we wouldn't write very much!
