Best Laid Plans

Best Laid Plans was my first woman's fiction novel! I was so excited when I was able to get my rights back and claim it as my own! Take a trip back to 1983. There was no TSA and people smoked on airplanes. (The airplane scene actually happened to me and the nun!)This was New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina – a place I fell in love with and visited a half-dozen times. Alas, some of the restaurants I knew are no longer in business and menu prices certainly have changed. Fashion – is still fashion! The styles come and go, but somehow are reborn again and again. While it was a sensuous romance when it was first published, it was fun to amp things up!Meet Amanda Wyatt – she had an eight year plan and accomplished so much more. Attractive, talented, she was a success whether she was designing high fashion or running her own elegant shop in New Orleans. And she had a friend with benefits relationship with –Lucas Crosse, her lawyer and the brother she never had for twelve years. He knew her intimately - well almost.
