About A CREED IN STONE CREEK:

When single attorney Steven Creed becomes the guardian of an orphaned five-year-old boy, he trades his big-city law firm for a ranch near his McKettrick kin in the close-knit community of Stone Creek, Arizona. Taking care of little Matt and fixing up his run-down ranch house with its old barn loosens something tightly wound inside him. But when Steven takes on the pro bono defense of a local teen, he meets his match in the opposing counsel—beautiful, by-the-book county prosecutor Melissa O’Ballivan. It’ll take one grieving little boy, a sweet adopted dog and a woman who never expected to win any man’s heart to make this Creed in Stone Creek know he’s truly found home.

Can you tell us a little about your newest release A CREED IN STONE CREEK that isn't in the blurb?
In large part, this book is about deciding who you want to be and going for it.

What was your favorite scene to write in A CREED IN STONE CREEK?
One of them was the opening scene, when Steven finds the little boy up in the middle of the night, waiting for his parents to arrive.

Do you usually cast your characters (a mental picture) before or after you have started writing? Does it help inspire you and take the story in a different direction?
Yes, but they always develop into a bonafide character in their own right.

If you could trade places with one of your characters, would you want to and who?
Yes, I’d trade with Maddie, in “The Man from Stone Creek”, if it meant I could spend a lifetime with Sam O’Ballivan.

The house is on fire and you only have time to grab one book …… which do you take with you? The one I’m writing now!

What was the most challenging thing you’ve done in the name of research that might have been out of your comfort zone?
A few years ago, I went on a cattle drive in Montana. I enjoyed every minute, but we roughed it and rode horses every day and got caught in the rain.
