Cougars in Cabo
After celebrating our first Florida Christmas in 4 years, we’re ready for the new year to begin – cruises and other beach fun are in the plans. I hope you have similar plans. In the meantime, why not download Cougars in Cabo, my short story that was first published in A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl anthology and is now available as a Kindle single.
One reader said this:
I’ve never been to Cabo, but you certainly make it sound inviting. *sigh* My husband might not like the idea of me drooling over a fictitious surf instructor. (He is fictitious… right? LOL)

Letters on Balboa Island
Letters on Balboa Island is now available on amazon.com for Print and Kindle! Now here is the short blurb:
When Rosalie Martin was seventeen, she knew two things that were true: (1) You couldn’t help but meet a man in a military uniform in southern California in the 1950s, and (2) Sooner or later, men would leave. But that didn’t stop her mother, her sister, or even herself from trying to find a man who would stay. And before she knew it, she had not only one man on her hands, but two.
When Rosalie sends a Dear John letter to the one serving in the Korean War to marry the one back home, she begins a life of secrets and regrets. Years later, when letters surface on Balboa Island, she realizes she may have chosen the wrong man. So when fate gives her the chance to make a different choice, will she? Or has she lived a life of lies for too long?
Stay tuned for the Book Tour in early 2012.

A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl
A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl is released – woo hoo! My story Cougars in Cabo is included in this anthology, published by Mozark Press. From the publisher:
When a woman becomes involved with a much younger man, she is known as a “cougar.” Older women hooking up with younger men intrigue us. What is their story? Does age really matter? Is she looking for a fountain of youth and is he just arm candy? Could he be out to take advantage of her? Or did she get lucky and find the love of her life?
Authors from across the U.S. submitted fiction stories about cougars written for women who enjoy a good story with-out sexually explicit content or involving underage men. A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl includes twenty-two captivating stories with boomer protagonists. Some of the stories are humorous while others are romantic—often with complications.
Boomer women were raised during an era when women didn’t do what was expected, especially in relationships. Seven-teen million baby boomer women are single. The older the boomer, the less chance of finding an eligible man in her age group. Expanding their “hunting” grounds to include younger men earned these women the title of cougar. Today’s women are independent and don’t always need a man to support them financially. This opens up possibilities they may not have considered when they were younger. These delightful stories will give you a glimpse into some of the nuances of cougars and cubs. What the stories tell us is that cougars aren’t necessarily predatory and, instead, may be vulnerable. Like all relationships, cougars may have found the perfect mate, or realize they are mismatched.
Age differences can be irrelevant, or deal breakers. Some of the cougar stories hold surprises and all relationships may not be what they seem to be. Pour yourself a margarita, prop up your feet, and enter the world where a woman is confident enough to pursue a man re-gardless of how much younger he is, and smart enough to know if a cougar/cub relationship is the correct choice for her.
