“Here for the Drama” is the second stand alone novel and was released in 2022. It would not be the theater without just a few theatrics.

All Winnie has ever dreamed about is becoming a famous playwright. For now, however, she will have to settle for assisting Juliette Brassard, the sharp witted and celebrated feminist playwright. After this experimental theater company in London, England, decides to stage “The Lights of Trafalgar”, Juliette’s most renowned play, Juliette and Winnie pack their bags and hop across the pond.

However the trip goes sideways even faster than you can say “tea and crumpets”. Juliette stubbornly butts heads with the director of the play and Winnie is left to stage manage their relationship. All the while, her own work appears to have stalled out, and even though Juliette continues promising that she’ll read it, she always has a vague reason of some kind why she cannot. Then Liam, Juliette’s nephew, enters stage left. He is smart, handsome, and devastatingly British, and his family ties to Juliette pose this serious issue. This forces Winnie to keep their burgeoning relationship on the down low. What could possibly go wrong?

Balancing a secret romance, a production apparently headed for disaster, and the sweetest, most rambunctious rescue dog, is Winnie going to be able to save this play, find love along the way, and make her own dreams come true? Or are the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes going to get the best of her this time?

With a dreamy love interest and a relatable heroine, this romance novel is a real ode to finding your voice, following your dreams, and writing a happily ever after of your very own.
