Queen
of the Rodeo

When Miss Reno Rodeo meets a lonesome Texas steer wrestler with big muscles and a weakness for blondes, watch out!

It may be a match made in cowgirl heaven, but there's no way in hell that Donna's ex-fiance in Reno, and Tyler's ex-girlfriend back in small town Texas are going to wish them eternal happiness.

Strong Currents

Strong Currents brings together more than two dozen stories by contemporary Hawai'i writers, featuring stories by Elizabeth Engstrom, Jill Marie Landis, Laureen Kwock, and a host of others.

Includes my short story "Speedy Delivery," set in my neighborhood of Kapahulu, on the island of Oahu, in the middle of a very, very big ocean.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my world, where rodeo queens and steer wrestlers are larger than life. It's also a world where strange and wonderful things happen to normal, and not-so-normal, people in a town that looks a lot like my own. So relax and hang out for a while, read some samples and listen as we read to you



"A delightfully quirky, laugh-out-loud story of romance, cowboys, and chicken-fried steak.
Queen of the Rodeo is one of those endearing books that makes you want to
saddle up and go galloping off to wherever the author takes you."
Tess Gerritsen,
author The Apprentice
