Welcome to:
Swing for the Fence!

Welcome Home!


In honor of my new book, In It To Win It,
my party is centered around
America's favorite pasttime.

Did you know that the first baseball game ever played
in the United States took place in 1791?
Don't feel bad, I didn't either.
It took place in Pittsfield, Massachutes. 
However it wasn't until 1845 that the first team
(the New York Knickerbockers) was formed.

Baseball has grown and now is played all over the country
--all over the world.
If I had to pick a favorite team, I would go with
my Arizona Diamondbacks!
When the team came to Arizona in 1998,
I was working for one of the local television stations
and it was huge news!
Opening day we had crews all over the stadium,
delivering live-shots, and bringing the experience home
to those not lucky enough to be sitting in the seats.
And when they took the World Series in 2001...
I watched every pitch!


IN IT TO WIN IT is my new contemporary romance.
Take one saucy sportscaster,
add baseball’s notorious bad-boy,
throw in fifteen years of frenzied feelings
and an exclusive interview with strings attached ...
and you get a reunion that’s sure

to get knocked out of the park!
Strike OneThe girl once known as ‘Plain Jane’ Alexander is now the woman who makes men stop and take notice of her long legs and voluptuous feminine curves. Fifteen years ago she drove away from her small town determined to never look back … and to hate Grayson Pierce forever.

Strike Two

Grayson Pierce is a baseball playing, fast car driving, loose woman dating, expensive liquor drinking jerk. He’s also the guy that ripped Jane’s heart out and beat it with a meat cleaver in front of their entire high school.

Strike Three
When fate—and an offer for an exclusive interview—bring Jane home, she finds that some things aren’t as they appear. And Grayson proves that he is In It To Win It; her trust, her heart, and a World Series title.

About the author
