Welcome back to Hope Harbor—where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.
When I wrote the first book in this series, I wasn’t certain it would be a series. I hoped readers would fall in love with my special little town on the Oregon coast, but until the numbers came in, I had no idea if there were more Hope Harbor stories in my future.
As it turned out, readers embraced this charming town and its wonderful residents. So much so that every book to date has been a bestseller. Translation? There are more Hope Harbor books in the works!
I’d like to thank all the people who have played such an integral role in my writing journey. I couldn’t have hit—and passed—the fifty-book milestone without their support and assistance.
My husband, Tom, who believes in me even on days when I’m certain I’ll never think of another compelling plot, and who does so much to smooth out the bumps in our life so I can concentrate on the stories in my head.
My parents, James and Dorothy Hannon, who have been in my corner from day one—my ever-faithful cheering section. Dad’s still out there rooting, and even though Mom’s gone now, her unwavering support and the joy she always took in my achievements are sweet memories that will sustain me all the days of my life.
My publishing partners at Revell, especially Dwight Baker, Kristin Kornoelje, Jennifer Leep, Michele Misiak, Karen Steele, and Cheryl Van Andel. I am honored to call you colleagues and friends.
And finally, all the readers who choose my books. Your support has allowed me to build a career telling the stories of my heart.
I hope you’ll return with me to Hope Harbor in April 2019, when a woman who runs a lavender farm/tearoom crosses paths with a man who’s in over his head juggling a new life, a grieving little girl, and a rambunctious dog who happens to like digging up lavender plants.
In the meantime, if you like romantic suspense, please watch for book 2 in my Code of Honor series, Hidden Peril, coming in October 2018. I guarantee it will keep you turning the pages late into the night!
