It is almost Labor Day, many are celebrating this weekend as a last hoorah of summer. I believe it is also a time to celebrate hard work, dedication and commitment. Last Sunday I had the privilege of seeing two of my heroes honored, my husband and my granddaughter, Phalha. My husband, David didn’t want his recognition to take away from Phalha’s triumph. We are so … Continue reading Honoring My Heroes
This was an awesome series, probably not the best books to listen to in the middle of a pandemic but I truly enjoyed them. I’m not sure if part of the enjoyment wasn’t sharing the experience with one of my sons but I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook series. It made me want to be a prepper and get away from the east coast but other … Continue reading The Trackers Series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith
By Nora Roberts This was a hard book to start. Nora Roberts writes her characters so well that I felt as if I were the fifteen-year-old girl hiding in the bathroom while her friends were shot down in the mall theater. Simone Knox kept her head and dialed 9-1-1, her early response saved lives. Reed Quartermain was home from college working at the mall and … Continue reading Shelter in Place

I have had people ask me about my characters. Most who know me are surprised by the rough language my character, Rae Lynne Grimes in Chrome Pink used. I’ll be honest, Rae Lynne wasn’t always easy to write. She had a dark side filled with a lot of pain that was often difficult to tap into. But I wanted to be honest with my readers, … Continue reading Bringing Characters to Life
What Makes a Man a Hero? I have six sons, a loving husband and several male relatives, all could be romantic heroes, at least to those who love them. We have military men, construction workers and volunteer firemen, first responders, dedicated fathers and Scout leaders, all embody the manly men who set feminine hearts aflutter. They are all good looking too, of course I’m probably … Continue reading I Need a Hero
