Embedded Files
WELCOME TO MY WORLD, currently shared with the green-eyed love of my life and two Schnauzers, Sophie (the sofa dog) and Sir Francis Drake (the Drakester.) Writing is part of the oxygen I now breathe living on a Minnesota hilltop surrounded by trees and wildlife on the fringe of a city known for the WFMC (World Famous Mayo Clinic). Two major league DREAMS and a lot of COINCIDENCE were the bases I’ve tagged in my star-crossed NOVEL JOURNEY.
MY SYLVAN RETREAT is a far cry from Miwaukee, Wisconsin, the bustling beer capital I was born and raised in, an only child who dared to dream her life could someday rival that of some of her favorite book heroines: i.e. Scarlett O'Hara & Claire Fraser.

"I absolutely loved The Accidental Wife and could not put it down. It is reminiscent of Outlander, so if you love Diana Gabaldon’s books, you’ll love this one. After reading a short Candy Hearts sweet contemporary "novelette" titled Hot Stuff by Fosdick, I fell in love with this author's storytelling, voice, and style right away." Jean M. Grant, author of A Hundred Breaths.
"Spellbinding is a term that can be easily applied to the author's writing style. The books are rich in character development, landscape as character, and historic detail." Arletta Dawdy, author of Rose of Sharon
Hot Stuff
Hot Stuff
Hot Stuff takes on double meaning when klutzy Kate is faced with rookie cop Dallas looking for a stolen lawn statue. In her quiet, crime-free Wisconsin village, Kate has her hands full writing slogans for candy hearts and keeping her kleptomaniac brother with Asperger’s Syndrome inside the law. Even her grandmother’s famous snickerdoodle cookies can’t ameliorate the crime when a stolen lawn statue turns out to be a drug dispenser. Will Kate rise above her concern of what Dallas’s uniform represents and admit the charming Texas rookie is the man of her dreams?
Reviews: "A funny, entertaining heart warmer that grabbed me right away.. small town, big hearts!... Hot Stuff in more than one way.
Totally Fun, fast read! --"a laugh out loud bumbling caper with a side of slapstick and some gooey romance thrown in for good measure. And I loved every twisty minute! "
"Kate the Klutz and Dallas the cop end up dating, and their kisses steamed up my ereader. But the mystery of the missing lawn statue deepens, and Kate's not sure where she fits into the officers plans, making this book a fun, fast read and worth 5 candy hearts."
