The Summer House
“My parents had a condo a block from the beach in Carpinteria, a charming resort town just south of Santa Barbara. During the summer, I spent a lot of time there. Many of my favorite memories include reading on the beach.
California is also where I met Susan Mallery. We took a class together on writing romance. She sat in the front row; I was in the back. Always prolific, she was writing more than her critique group could handle. She started another group and asked me to join and an enduring friendship was born. Eventually Susan sold a book to Silhouette Special Edition. And another. And another. I think she’d have to do the math to calculate the total. And I sold to the Romance line at Silhouette. I’m enormously pleased and proud to be a part of it.
But with stories to tell that demand a longer length, I was finally able to break into Special Edition. When Susan and I were brainstorming this book, I casually mentioned that I’d always wanted to set a book in Carpinteria. With that we w...ere off and running.MoreLess
