Weddings by C & C

Anna is planning the perfect wedding, but she doesn't anticipate her future mother-in-law's offer of help which translates into take over. Her groom-to-be avoids her and insists their growing problems are just 'bridal nerves'. Worst of all, her best friend, Robin, begins to act strange. Everyone around her has his or her own agenda. What's a girl to do when she begins to realize the perfect life she envisioned is all a lie?Robin has two great loves in his life: his best friend Anna and his motorcycle. Not one to make a scene, he supports Anna in her plan to marry the wrong man and regrets she can't accept his 'dare devil' lifestyle. But when push comes to shove, he's more than willing to make the necessary sacrifice and prove he is the man she needs.As the wedding date grows closer and plans shift into high gear, Robin and Anna grow closer and not just as friends. Each must decide what the perfect life truly means while trying to negotiate the maze of wedding plans, secrets, and hidden motives. Will someone be left singing the blues? I like to think of myself as a cross between Doctor Who companions Donna and Amy. I have Donna's blunt manner of speaking and big gooey heart coupled with Amy's enduring curiosity and belief in one true love. And of course, I'm a fellow redhead.Story ideas tend to come from real life incidents, although I have not quite been able to bring myself to curse a heroine with setting her sleeve on fire at Christmas dinner and then flashing the entire fire department. Favorite authors include Samantha Holt, JD Robb, Stephen King, and Harper Lee. I read everything, anything, and prefer characters and stories that take me away. "We're all stories so make yours a good one."I write the 'Weddings by C & C' series. This Destination Wedding Planning Service is based in Hilo, Hawaii and follows Christine Jergens, her husband Charlie, their children, and friends as they all travel the often surprising and rocky roads to marriage.I pour a bit of myself into each character and story and often base plots on real-life events (like many authors do!). The almost plane crash in Book 1 is based on fact. The stalker in Book 3 is based on my best friend's horrible experience. The fandom of Book 4 is based on a real-life friend's obsession with Tom Hiddleston (okay, she got me to fangirl him as well. I'm only human!). I wrote the volcano eruption in Book 5 two years before the May 2018 Kilauea Eruption. I think I should write about winning the lottery next!I fell in love with words from the moment I could speak. My Grandfather and Father, in true Scot-Irish tradition, were storytellers who could hold an audience captive and wide-eyed for hours. I hope to someday come close to their abilities and tell the stories floating about in my head.I love to hear from readers, and feel free to connect with me on social media and tell me what you loved, liked, and hated in my books!

It always starts with a woman, doesn't it? Except this time it starts with two women. And Elvis.I'm Harry-the-Homebody, ultimate geek married to my job. Really, I love two women: my gorgeous Hawaiian Island and my Lyssa. Or I wish she was mine. She travels the world, can't wait to be off on the next adventure. I can't imagine ever leaving. Sure, she loves me. Like she loves her brother, my best friend. Until one hour in Elvis changes everything.I'm too damned old for this! Wtf? Seriously? I'm Alyssa the Wanderer. Flying is my life! So why am I giving up everything to marry Harry Kanae, a guy I've known forever? Does being pregnant make you lose your mind? Because I can't seem to get enough of him. How did he get so damned sexy? And when can I leave this Island? There's a whole world to see! And yet...how can I leave Harry?I'm through being patient. Or tolerant. Do they believe they control my creations? My children? I am above them all! Mightier and ageless. How dare they consider themselves anything but the vermin they are. Let the foolish mortals burn!Sparks fly hotter than Mount Kilauea's lava when one long-awaited night of passion becomes a full-time commitment. Will these polar opposite life-long buddies discover something more than friendship love? An ancient (and totally pissed) Volcano Goddess Pele and a red convertible called Elvis might just have to assist. I like to think of myself as a cross between Doctor Who companions Donna and Amy. I have Donna's blunt manner of speaking and big gooey heart coupled with Amy's enduring curiosity and belief in one true love.

After a near fatal accident leads to one incredible night of amazing sex, Christine and Charlie take the leap from friendly co workers to lovers. Christine has battled many demons in the last few years. Charlie has always been her confident and support. Yet Charlie refuses to answer her emails or texts after an embezzling scheme arises at work implicating both of them. Christine must come to terms with not only losing a fabulous lover and her best friend but her job as well.Charlie carries his own scars when it comes to women. There's something about Christine which brings out his protective side and makes him hope for the love he's wanted for years. She can't possibly be stealing company and pointing the blame at him. When he pushes her away to begin his own investigation, he uncovers more than embezzlement. He uncovers a murderer who attempts to kill Christine.Christine and Charlie struggle to work together to catch the rampaging thief. One of them will have to make an unforgettable choice. The other will race the clock to save not only a life but the love of a lifetime. I like to think of myself as a cross between Doctor Who companions Donna and Amy.
