When
Amanda's lying, cheating, scam-artist husband, Charley, saves her life in a
near-fatal motorcycle accident, she can almost forgive him for dragging his
feet on their divorce. Then she discovers he'd been dead for several hours at
the time she thought he rescued her. And not just dead…murdered.
On the
good side, at least they are no longer married.
But she's
the primary suspect in Charley's murder and, as if that isn't bad enough,
Charley's ghost shows up in her apartment. He was rejected, kicked back, not allowed
to go into the light. The situation was bad enough when he was alive and trying
to charm his way back into her life, but now he claims to be unable to go more
than a few yards away from her. She can't even be certain he isn't peeking when
she undresses for bed.
Even death
did not them part.
I grew up in a small rural town in southeastern Oklahoma where our favorite entertainment on summer evenings was to sit outside under the stars and tell stories. When I went to bed at night, instead of a lullaby, I got a story. That could be due to the fact that everybody in my family has a singing voice like a bullfrog with laryngitis, but they sure could tell stories—ghost stories, funny stories, happy stories, scary stories.
For as long as I can remember I've been a storyteller. Thank goodness for computers so I can write down my stories. It's hard to make listeners sit still for the length of a book! Like my family's tales, my stories are funny, scary, dramatic, romantic, paranormal, magic.
Besides writing, my interests are reading, eating chocolate and riding my Harley.
I have two ongoing mystery series, Death by Chocolate (Death by Chocolate; Murder, Lies and Chocolate; The Great Chocolate Scam, and Chocolate Mousse Attack) and Charley’s Ghost (The Ex Who Wouldn’t Die, The Ex Who Glowed in the Dark, and The Ex Who Conned a Psychic).
I also sold fifteen romance novels ranging from comedy to dark suspense under the names Sally Carleen, Sally Steward and Sara Garrett. For those novels, I won several awards including National Readers' Choice, Romantic Times Best Silhouette Romance and two Rita finalist slots. Most of the Silhouettes are available as e-books, and I have e-pubbed six of the out-of-print single titles.
Contact information is available on my website. I love to talk to readers! And writers. And riders. And computer programmers. And teachers. And gardeners. And dogs. And puppets and poets and pirates and pawns and kings. Okay, I just plain love to talk!
