Recently on Chandra Sparks Splond’s blog she asked me, “Why did I decide to serve as editor for the Love Knows My Name project.  My response, “A few years ago during an interview I was asked if I would consider writing in another genre besides mystery and suspense.  Since I write romantic suspense, I thought the best alternative genre to pursue would be romance. A short story seemed like a good place to start. I felt led to pull together veteran and new authors in one collection.”

The result has become the Aspiring Love Collection. The first book, Love Knows My Name, was released in February 2019.
