Have you ever wondered exactly what the definition is for “women’s fiction”? Here’s a graphic with all the answers.

My grandpup is a fan of women’s fiction … especially my stories that include some lovable dogs and cats! And, if you know me, I’ll use any excuse to post a photo of this adorable muse of mine. I actually thought of the title for my next novel while I was chilling with her! She’s my tonic. Whatever titles you choose in my draw for June 8th, I wish you bonne lecture/happy reading!



I choose that adorable woofer…I have ALL the books and have loved ever one of them❣️
LOL. Thanks a million, Liane! xoxo
I love your sweet grandpup! My two fur babies have given me inspiration as well. Your books look fabulous all lined up. Well done!!
Thanks, Darlene! What would we do without that adorable inspiration?
Awww. Such a cute pooch. I love the photo of you and the pup. Both gorgeous!
It’s so nice to see you always involved in helping other authors with marketing and referrals. I hope tomorrow is a great day for everyone involved.

Thank you for the chance. I love all your stories. Congratulations & happy women’s fiction day. I would love The promise of Provence. Thank you 😊❤️
I love seeing pix of your pup. I’m a dog lover and my English Cream Golden Retriever (white Golden) is my best bud. She’s usually at my feet and I love having her near.
I’d love to read The Bridge Club! Thank you so much for being here with us today!
You are a new author to me and I’d love to read your books. What book do you suggest I start with?
I would suggest you begin with The Promise of Provence as it leads to many of the other books.
It’s rewarding for me to hear from readers who love the characters and keep asking for more stories about them. This first book in the trilogy lets you go along on Kat’s journey right from the beginning.
I would love the Bridge Club. Thanks. Love your books
Hi Beth! Lovely to see you here and thank you for entering. 🙂
I would take any you wanted it send. Drawing lessons stood out to me.

I would love to read The Bridge Club. Thank you so much for the chance ❤️
Hi Patricia. I need more France 🇫🇷
Would love either “Lav, Loss and Love” or “A Season of Surprises”
I have all the others.
I am melancholy as we get closer to our once planned departure date but also walking slowly and living safe so to make it in 2022. I need some more “burre” and that lovely French bread 🥖

Hi Deb ~ Yes, I feel the same way knowing we would all be together in France very shortly. However, the year will fly by and June 2022 will see a wonderful reunion on the Côte d’Azur! Bises
I already follow you in IG. Thanks so much! I would choose The Promise of Provence.
Love your blog. I’d love to read The Bridge Club.
