Heartfelt thanks

To my husband who faithfully served in the U.S. Air Force for more than 20 years;

To my eldest son who continues to defend our freedom by serving in the U.S. Air Force;

To my daughter-in-law who keeps the home fires burning while her husband honors his commitment to God, this country and his family;

To the many others who serve at home or on foreign shores to ensure our many privileges and freedoms... and to their families who allowed them to go; and,

To the many who made the ultimate sacrifice - the gift of their lives,

THIS CITIZEN SALUTES YOU AND THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

It's Here: Very Truly Yours is published.

I am pleased to announce the release of my first full-length novel,
Very Truly Yours

Very Truly Yours is a story of two people who plan to build a life together
 ...until they discover that one of them is already married.

Perhaps Buddy Madsen set her “husband goals” too high. The man who wins her heart must gain her family’s approval, be a good provider, love her unconditionally, and, most of all, share her strong faith. David Willoughby, the handsome New York architect who guest lectures her class does not meet those goals. But Buddy is attracted to him. She petitions God to guard her heart, and they go their separate ways – she to the security of family, he in search of a marriage that offers social prominence and career advancement.    

At their next meeting several years later, Buddy recognizes positive changes in David. He has given up his philandering ways. She is delighted with the changes she sees in him. Perhaps they can develop a forever relationship after all? Perhaps David can avoid the devastating consequences of his previous philandering lifestyle. Or perhaps, for them, it’s just too late.
Through every phase of their relationship, Buddy and David must choose between what is right and what is acceptable, what is honorable and what is selfish. But they are not perfect, and their desire to be together often drives them to take paths that could sideline their future, and their faith.
