My books have been described by readers as "feel-good books." This term pleases me immensely because it means that I have succeeded in what I set out to do and that is to write a novel that will leave the reader with a sense of well-being and happiness when he or she has read the last page. I've been asked on many occasions if my novels are based on real-life experiences; this too tells me that my writing is reaching the hearts of my readers. I like my characters to be down-to-earth people who go through the same trials and tribulations as the rest of us. I also like to incorporate local points of interest into my writing, weaving them into the fabric of the story.
