Welcome, and thanks so much for visiting my web page!  I’ve been extremely busy these past few months, working on a new project – the Goodnight, Texas Trilogy. The books are big, sweeping contemporary romances, with a strong element of women’s fiction, about three women who lose their way and wind up in Goodnight, Texas, a tiny, dusty town in the west Texas desert, an hour north of the Rio Grande.

In the first of the series, AUGUST AFTER EVERYTHING, a reserved, gentle young woman slowly puts the pieces of her life back together after she discovers her husband has contracted someone to murder her.  The ex-con he hired comes to tell her, then goes to the police, resulting in an arrest and conviction.  After her husband is sent to prison, she loses her home, her business, everything, including herself, but through it all, despite her myriad difficulties, the ex-con sticks by her.  Even when she takes a series of jobs across the country, running from her past, from how people now define her – a victim, a patsy, even an idiot – he is the one constant in her life who won’t let her go completely.  Because he loves her, he never gives up on her.  When she hits a wall, he forces her to turn her life around and fight for her own happiness and peace of mind.  It is for her that he becomes a better man, and it’s for him that she tries so hard.  This is a huge, passionate love story that celebrates the power of hope and the freedom of forgiveness.

If you’d care to read an excerpt, please do, and let me know what you think.

The second in the series is HURRY SUNDOWN.  After an outgoing, optimistic, beautiful woman is brutally beaten and left scarred, she becomes a recluse, protecting herself from any possibility of being hurt again, hiding from the pity of her friends and colleagues.  The unlikely catalyst that brings her back to life is an angry, bitter, lonely ex-con, the outcast, misfit heir of old Connecticut money who once insulted her by asking her to become his mistress, then infuriated her when she agreed and he changed his mind.  They share a strange history of desire and anger, and she’s confused when he appears in her life, once again, and treats her as though she’s still as she was – a woman he desires.  Through this taciturn, stoic man, she discovers what it really means to be beautiful, reinvents herself, and comes into her own.

ROAD TO ESCONDIDO tells the story of a driven, successful single mother who is guilted into a road trip by her daughter, and finds what she didn't know she was looking for when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Texas.

In addition to Goodnight, Texas, I remain enthusiastic about a whole different direction my writing took after the demise of the Bombshell line.  The idea for a series of paranormal stories about Mephistopheles, a minion of Hell, came to me out of the blue, and I decided to run with it.  The result can be seen at my alter-ego website, www.trinityfaegen.com.

And for Pink fans, here’s where we stand:  As of this moment, there are no future books in the works to continue Pink’s story.  I did begin a sequel, MAKE ME, some time ago, but haven’t yet decided whether to pursue this one, or go back to the original format and write another mystery in first person, like the first three.  I’m including an an excerpt of the Pink sequel which may or may not ever be published.  It’s a bit different, told in third person, instead of first.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by!
