As a single woman in my late 40s, I have become quite comfortable with being on my own. I've learned so much about myself and have started to embrace the strength and beauty of my life on Earth, but.... I have missed certain aspects of being in a relationship and part of a couple-team, so I created Maggie and Billy and there is definitely no shortage of love and passion between them. If you are single, thinking about starting a second half of life relationship or just love lusty reads, I have been pleasantly surprised at the men and women 40 plus, who have fallen in love with The Maggie Ashberry Series, and I'd love for you to fall for them too. Below are 3 quotes from the last book in my series, out soon.
“Mag, you have such an overwhelming amount of love and connection to all living things. It radiates from you. You must know that.” He put the book down and sat up, reaching out and holding her face in both his hands. Maggie looked at him with such love. “The first time our eyes met I was drawn to you, and not just because you’re so damn hot Mag.” Maggie giggled, feeling her cheeks flush. “It was like being under some kind of spell. Your energy is beautiful.” He moved closer still and kissed her gently, then looked into her eyes again.
“Billy, what you make me feel is not of this world. There is something more within you too. Our connection is rare, Lover, and I think because we both have such loving souls, we fill each other up, overflowing with love, and that adds to our… experiences together.” She breathed deeply, smiling at him and finding herself falling deeply into his dark blue eyes.
“Damn, Maggie, just the thought of you makes me melt!” he told her as he kissed her again. “The touch of your hand.” Kissing her cheek. “The smell of your skin.” Kissing her forehead. “Your breath on my cheek.” Kissing her lips. “Your voice speaking beautiful words. I feel every cell in my body exploding.” Kiss, kiss.
“Mmm, keep talking like that and I’ll be exploding soon too, Billy.” Maggie purred; her eyes closed as he continued to kiss her face softly. “Dance with me,” Maggie whispered. Their hands coming up together and interlocking their fingers, palms pressed together, pressing their lips together, inhaling deeply. Maggie stood, Billy rising with her, their hands still grasping, as “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” began.
“You are an incredibly beautiful woman, Maggie,” he told her, pulling her close again. “Inside and out Babe.” He looked at her for a moment, lost in dreamy thought. “There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you,” he added with a deep gaze. Maggie softly brushed the hair away from his face, absorbing the love she was feeling so strongly between them. When the song finished, he turned the engine off and he pulled her in for a hug, then held her face and kissed her lips gently.
“Thanks for the ride, Lover!” Maggie said, almost growling her words. Billy chuckled.
“No, thank you!” he replied, giving her one more kiss. They made their way into the house hand in hand. Frankie still wasn’t home yet, so Billy took Bo out back while Maggie went up to get ready for bed. Just as she came out of the bathroom Billy stepped onto the landing.
“Hello Beautiful,” he said, smiling at her lustfully.
“Mmm, hello gorgeous lover,” she purred back, her eyes sparkling. Billy stood gazing at her. He stared at her so intensely that Maggie shivered as she looked into his hungry wolf eyes. He inhaled slowly and deeply, moving purposefully towards her, pushing her against the wall, pinning her hands up above her head and kissing her hard.
“Those silvery moon beams are multiplying,” Billy informed her, as he poured water over Maggie’s hair. “They really are beautiful, Babe,” he added, giving her a hug from behind. Maggie reached up and held his arms...
“You’re gathering quite a collection of moon beams too, my Lover,” she told him, pressing her body up against his and kissing his neck. “Mmmm, my silver fox,” she added. Billy chuckled.
“Going to trade me in for a younger model Mag?” Billy asked her.
“Are you kidding me? I’d never find anyone else who makes pizza as good as you!” she answered laughing. Billy turned around quickly, splashing water. Maggie squealed with laughter, and he pulled her closer, leaned over her and kissed her neck, tickling her. “Just kidding, I’d miss watching you do your workouts in the shed too. Although, I could get myself a young piece of eye candy and have him do my bidding,” she added with a saucy grin. Billy advanced at her quickly, snarling and nibbling her neck, causing Maggie to squeal again. They stared at one another, smiling. Billy sat back down facing her and held her face. His eyes grinning, Maggie looking back lovingly. He kissed her lips softly, rubbing his nose with hers and smiling at her. They leaned back and relaxed in the tub, adding some more hot water, and chatting for a while longer before climbing out and laying together in bed wrapped in their towels.

With my 5th Maggie Ashberry book in its final stages and almost ready to buy, I am able to return my attention to a number of other books I've been working on. This is, or I should say, was, the final in my series, but, I'll let you in on a little secret... I've already began writing a 6th Maggie Ashberry book. It may be a while before that books is finished, but in the mean time...


...I'm delving back into some others I have on the go. I started 4 other books when I wrote my 5 part Maggie series, and I started yet another book in July 2025. I will be focusing on 3 books in particular, and would love to know which one you'd like to see published first! You'll find a brief description of them below.
The Knight Club

Detective Sergeant Katherine Keeley, an independent, strong-willed, accomplished detective, faces new challenges with a serial case that has her second guessing her own sanity. With "The Kissing Killer" seemingly one step ahead of her, she finds it more difficult than usual to deal with the old boys club mentality about her ability, as a woman, to bring in the murderer. Meanwhile, an ex, and fellow officer finds his way back into her world after years apart, and her current partner starts putting the moves on her after years of working together. Are they trying to find their way into her bedroom because they care for her or because they have something to hide?
The Book Of Greenwich

Aarika has spent life-times, trying to find a way to break a curse that took the love of her life from her. As someone in a position of great power and authority, Aarika was not the woman he should have fallen in love with, and after a time of hiding their love affair, they are caught by a powerful, greedy witch who decides they must pay the price. Without her fellow Greenwich family members support and a man turned animal, Aarika must face this task alone. She has to remove elements from a multitude of men through intimate acts in order to bring back her beloved Desiderio to his true form. Will she succeed in time, or will her work be in vain?
Kassy's Boutique

Kassy has travelled halfway around the world, bought a boutique with a flat above, and has decided to forget all the pain she felt at the loss of her favourite two people. She is alone, starting fresh, in a small fishing village and has met some interesting people, but as the new kid on the block and after a series of odd encounters, she is soon given the title of being quite odd and is more than happy about why. Her Grandparents passing didn't stop them from moving in with her and have taken it upon themselves to help her in anyway they see fit. Will she fit in or will the ghostly shenanigans at her boutique be too much for this small village to accept?

These 3 books sound so intriguing, but there's something drawing me to The Knight Club - I just need to read it!!! 😉
Especially after having read the Maggie series 🥰
I can't believe how far this writer has come! She was a shy quiet... Who am I kidding. Once she gets to know you, she's a friend for life!
