Welcome to My Site

Hey there. It's Gwyn--writer, brand manager, shoe shopper, aficionado of time travel. My books tend to be an amalgam of things that tickle my fancy. For Tumbling Through Time, I took Janet Evanovich, Back to the Future, Outlander, Colin Firth and Patrick O'Brian, put them in a blender, added ice and hit "frappe." My new book, Seducing Mr. Darcy, is Jane Austen with a tequila chaser. Er, a double tequila chaser. Flip Allison, the heroine, has no idea what to expect when she lands in the arms of the most famous man in literature. Darcy is imperious, proud and far more impetuous than you might imagine. (Or, if you're like me, exactly as impetuous as you might imagine.) Fasten your Spencer jacket. It's going to be a sexy, romantic ride.

And while you're at it, click here to vote for your favorite Colin Firth role. Since you overwhelmingly voted him the favorite Mr. Darcy (he garnered 77% of votes cast, four times as many as Matthew McFadyen, his nearest competitor), I thought you'd enjoy this poll too.

Sexy excerpt from Seducing Mr. Darcy

The latest from Gwyn's blog, 'Unbuckling'

Seducing Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy just isn't Flip Allison's style. She prefers novels that include hot sex on the bathroom sink to the mannerly high-tension longing of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. That is, until she pays a visit to Madame K, who promises a therapeutic massage with an opportunity to "Imagine Yourself in Your Favorite Book." Somehow on the way to a sizzling sink top session with a Venetian Adonis, Flip lands right in the middle of Regency England--and dangerously close to handsome Mr. Darcy. So close, in fact, that she discovers you can't always judge a book by its cover.

Meet Persephone "Seph" Pyle, a total control freak who plans for everything until a pair of killer heels sends her back in time into the arms of a ruggedly handsome sea captain straight from the pages of a romance novel who claims she's changed history and ruined his life. And when her on-again off-again equally sexy boyfriend ends up back in time too, Seph discovers that finding the perfect pair of shoes may be easy, but choosing the perfect man can be a real trip.
