Welcome to My World
I’ve been cocooning and collecting lately. During the summer in southern Nevada, you don’t want to be outdoors after noon. Trust me. Where I live, the temperature rarely dips below triple digits and can hit highs over one hundred and twenty degrees. Yes, you can fry an egg on the sidewalk.
I’m staying under the air conditioning, writing, decorating and watching old movies. In the morning, you might find me at one of the local thrift shops, where I’ve found unique home accessories that cost less than a cup of coffee. I just love a bargain!
I’m thrilled to announce that I finished my third novel, working title, THE DRUNKARD’S PATH. It’s longer than my first two books, and packed with fun, adventure, and romance. I hope to catch a publisher’s interest soon. In the meantime, I’ll be working on book four.
Stay cool and have a great summer! |

Tortillas and Second Chances
Available Now
Celeste Nilson Walker made up her mind about Ray long ago, when he walked out of her life without so much as a goodbye. Eight years and one disastrous marriage later, she’s sworn off men for good. Now Ray’s back in town and Celeste will do everything in her power to keep him from discovering the gift he left behind – her precious daughter, Mia.
Self-made millionaire Ray Fontana has run out of challenges. He’s met every goal, fulfilled every ambition and still, he feels empty. When a tall blonde stumbles out of his past, Ray’s heart gets a jump-start. He’s determined to win Celeste back, not as a wealthy and successful entrepreneur but as plain old Ray, a man with a troubled past and a blue-collar future.
Available on-line at Avalon Books, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. Or ask for it at your local library.

Reviews for Tortillas and Second Chances
Tortillas and Second Chances is a page-turner. I read it in one sitting, not wishing to leave the characters. Sylvia Renfro composes a consistent, flowing read that allows the reader to feel the stirring emotions of the characters. This sensational book has all the right elements that bring together family, friends, miscommunication, and an extraordinary love through the years that is definitely meant to be.
Five Coffee Cup Rating, Coffee Time Romance
Tortillas and Second Chances is a sweet and tender story of a second chance at first love. This is a classic romance in a modern setting. Heartfelt, touching and romantic, it’s the kind of story that will make readers laugh and cry and then read the book all over again.
Romance Junkies Reviews
Can the past be forgiven? Can secrets destroy second chances? These are the questions facing Celeste and Ray in Sylvia Renfro’s Tortillas and Second Chances. This is a very clean romance novel, which for me personally, was a nice change. It was a sweet read, witty and entertaining!

Reviews for Poppy’s Place
“An excellent sweet romance!”
This sweet romance had me enthralled as I wanted to see what the outcome with Poppy and Josh would be. I could just tell they were meant for each other, even if neither thought so. I was pulling for them the entire book and, of course, Sylvia Renfro had me wondering if there would be a happy ending right up to the very end! I highly recommend this story.
The Best Reviews
It may only be a short 186 pages, but that doesn’t stop POPPY’S PLACE from being a delightful story! I’ll certainly watch for more of her future works.
Round Table Reviews
Readers will find Poppy and Josh’s story sweet, but the character that really stands out is the East Mojave itself, as Renfro makes it come alive.
