I am excited to report I am back working on the second book in the Natchez National Park Rangers series! I’m writing this the Saturday before the post releases and as of today, I have 7,000 of 90,000 words! At the left is a photo of my office before I started the book…you don’t want to see it now. lol …
Reader Friday ~ Tell Her No Lies
This Friday I want to tell you about this fabulous book I read two months ago. I thought I’d reviewed it on my blog, but when I got to looking, I couldn’t find it. But Tell Her No Lies by Kelly Irvin is a book you don’t want to miss! Here’s the back cover copy: Combining romance and suspense, bestselling author …
Myth Buster
As I write this it is a beautiful September afternoon. My hummingbirds are gone, but the butterflies are still here. They love my lantana. I have a feeling there will be challenges to this week’s answer…so let’s get to last week’s Mystery Question. Below are four statements. ONE IS TRUE. Three are false. Which one is true? Marilyn Monroe had …
Reader Friday ~ Deadly Guardian
This week I read a suspense story from my favorite small press, Mantle Rock Publishing, written by fellow suspense writer, Deborah Sprinkle who hails from my hometown of Memphis. Deadly Guardian kept me turning pages until past midnight so I could finish it. Don’t you love the cover? It perfectly showcased the setting. Next to my art department at Revell, …
Myth or Truth?
I’m not sure how many of you are country music fans, but it’s what I cut my teeth on and grew up listening to as a teenager. I’ll never forget these kids getting on the school bus when I was about twelve and telling us that Johnny Cash had spent the weekend with his family and would be there all …
Reader Friday ~ Legacy Rejected
It’s been a busy week and here I am at 9:30 writing my blog. 🙂 But I just finished a really good book that had me up past midnight last night. Legacy Rejected by Robin Patchen. Here’s the back cover copy: All she wants is a home, but there is no safe haven when mobsters are after you. Realtor Ginny …
Truth or Fiction
If I was happy last week, then this week I’m ecstatic! My edits have been turned in (of course, I’ll have at least one more set to do) and I got a new hair cut! Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: Below are four alibis. Three are actual alibis that criminals have used. I made up one. Can you …
Reader Friday ~ BREAKING POINT
Last week I read a really good romantic suspense book, BREAKING POINT by Marji Laine. You can read my interview with Marji Laine over at the Suspense Sisters blog where Marji is giving away a print copy of BREAKING POINT. I’m giving away a Kindle copy here on my blog! BREAKING POINT kept me up at night, turning pages. This …
A Few Alibis for You to Consider
Edits are almost finished…just have to read through the whole thing and see if what I changed makes sense. 🙂 Here’s the opening of STANDOFF: What had he gotten himself into? Brandon Marlar leaned back in his chair and chewed his thumbnail. His dad had warned him the last time he’d caught him hacking. “Son, breaking into someone’s files you …
Reader Friday ~ The Art of Rivers
Back in July when I gathered with three other writers (see post here) Janet Ferguson gave me her latest book, The Art of Rivers. I liked it so well, I bought the e-book for my sister. I thought I’d reviewed it, but I can’t find where I did, so that’s what I’m doing this week. Be warned–while this book isn’t …
