Gisele Reid returns to the Gingerbread Lodge to help her aunt, but without paying guests, she's afraid the lodge will have to be sold. An event she vows to stop. When an old friend shows up, she is astonished to find Max has turned into a man who makes her knees and heart tremble. Max Oakley, a developer, has a client interested in buying land around the lodge. He has fond memories of the resort, as well as the girl who left him behind. When he runs into Gisele again, she's even more beautiful than ever. A woman who could make him forget everything—even his job. Plumbing problems, electrical outages, and the return of Gisele's family throw a wrench into Max's plans to woo Gisele. But when the truth comes out, she believes he's betrayed her trust, and it will take a Christmas miracle to make everything right again.

List story ideas you hope to tackle in the future

LOL – too many, but here are some:

“Searching Among the Stars” – 3rd book in my futuristic series

“Found Among the Stars” – 4th Book in my futuristic series

I have never really read a futuristic title. I may look into that.

“Tangled in London” – a contemporary romance between a jilted-at-the-altar woman and an English solicitor who also writes sexy romances

We all need a little romance!

“Crumbs” – YA Dragon trilogy

Dragon Trilogy I am interested in checking that title out.

“Talisman” – urban fantasy

I love Urban Fantasy looking forward to checking that one out for sure.

“Touching Death” – high fantasy

I enjoyed the Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas

(Well at least the first 4 titles. I am a little behind 😬)

These are the ones I’m currently working on. But I have many, many more ideas percolating. And yes, I like to have a title before I start. 😊

As you can see, I don’t just stick to one genre. I have many interests and writing different genres keeps each one fresh for me.

Thank You for sharing some of your upcoming titles with us!

As her alter-ego, Vicky has multiple homes all over the universe. She looks human - for the most part - but when she starts writing about characters being able to move things or flicking fire from their fingertips, or changing the course of rivers, people tend to get a little freaked out. She found the one guy out there in the universe who loves her for who she is and they've been together forever and raised four wonderful (now) adults. Her career includes work as a technical writer/editor, a stringer for the local newspaper, and an editor and copy editor for various publishers. At various times in her life, she has been a teacher, a secretary, a short-order cook, a computer specialist, a DJ, and a librarian. When not editing or writing, she can be found in the kitchen creating gluten free goodies for her family
