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 …
Another Week, Another Dumb Criminal
Oh, me! Time is running out! Labor Day has come and gone…that means I only have five months to write my next book! But I’m working on it as I can. Life has kind of thrown me a curveball, and I’m dealing with a few things, like edits for the first book that came in last week! I will say …
Reader Friday ~ You Belong With Me
I met Tari Farris at a Susan May Warren Deep Thinker’s retreat way back in 2012 (I think, could’ve been 2013). Even then, I knew she’d be published one day. You Belong With Me is her debut novel and it’s a good one! Amazon says it releases September 3, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t already released it! Here’s …
MY SNAKE STORY
In my comments last Friday I alluded to a snake story and told Edward Arrington that he didn’t want to hear it. He replied he would be interested and that it wouldn’t cause him to have nightmares, so here goes. It was many years ago that we owned a farm with a mobile home on it. We would sometimes spend …
Reader Friday ~ Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass
Oh, my. Heather Day Gilbert has a winner with her new series starring Belinda Blake. I love this character! And the story kept me turning pages way into the night. But first the opening sentence then the back cover copy: “The first time I saw Stone Carrington the fifth, I had a snake wrapped around my neck.” When exotic pet-sitter …
Crazy Insurance Frauds
In two weeks, I’ll head to Riverside, California to the Romance Retreat where I will meet fans of romantic suspense. I’m nor sure what to expect, but I’ll bring a full report back and post it here. And again, thank you to all my readers who bought a copy of Summer of Suspense~ it was amazing to be #28 on …
