Perfect Need - Seven Tales of Love and Passion

Close your eyes,
Fall in love.
Stay there.
~ Rumi

Rumi knew everything about love. To me, this quote is the perfect description of how I write and how I fall in love. It's a mystery, a thrill, an adventure - every time.
You never know who you'll fall in love with, or why, or whether it's a good idea - ask Rowan in A Star, A Stone. How could you ever anticipate the wonder, the inspiration being in love can bring - An Unbearable Brightness explores that light. A sudden rainstorm - Stormy Weather - or even an exercise class - The Queen of Heaven - can be the spark that creates abandon and passion between two lovers. In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites.
My stories are explorations of what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime. When they close their eyes, literally or not; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it's worth the risk to stay . . . or not.
