Welcome!

I’m so excited to tell you about BEFORE SHE DIES my February 2012 romantic suspense release from Kensington/Zebra. Charlotte Wellington, my heroine in BEFORE SHE DIES, is one of my all-time favorite characters. She first appeared in a novella I wrote several years ago and was meant to be a walk-on character that I didn’t expect to see again. However, Charlotte wouldn’t be forgotten or ignored. She kept lingering in the back of my mind so I decided to include her in SENSELESS and MERCILESS. By the time I’d finished the two books, I realized two things: Charlotte had to have her own story and she had to have a strong hero. Enter Detective Daniel Rokov, an independent strong-willed man quite willing to go toe-to-toe with the irascible Charlotte.

I’m willing to bet that BEFORE SHE DIES keeps you guessing until the very end because it certainly kept me guessing as I wrote it. Even though I’d figured out the finer points of the plot, Charlotte and Rokov took on lives of their own and added so many twists and turns that I was sitting on the edge of my seat as I typed.

I’d love for you to visit my contest page and register to win an autographed copy of BEFORE SHE DIES along with a Mary Burton is Suspense! Travel mug.

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful 2012!
