Welcome to the world of Francesca Cahill, crime-solver extraordinaire.

Joyce was born, and with it, the first book in an ongoing series, Deadly Love. Well, imagine my surprise when my 'muse' prompted me to begin a new historical romance suspense series-and then I realized a Bragg had to be the hero! And so the nom de plume B.D.

To this day, many of you still clamor for more Bragg books. I have never lost sight, however, of my audience-my historical romance readers, and especially fans of my books featuring the Bragg family. It has been an exciting literary journey-my writing has evolved in many unexpected way, including recently into the realm of powerful and suspenseful contemporary women's fiction, which I shall continue to write under my own name, Brenda Joyce. I never know where my 'muse' will take me next.
