Wounded Warrior Project

-
Brady Truman, the hero in SHIELDING THE SUSPECT, is injured and unable to return to active duty as an Air Force pararescueman. He has lost his career and his goals for the future are destroyed. He feels adrift in confusion and hurt and bitterness. By the end of the novel, Brady gets help from a great organization.

While there are many organizations who do wonderful work for veterans, I wanted to highlight the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project helps wounded soldiers to adjust life outside the military. I encourage you to visit their website (waiting on approval to post the link). It's a thank you to all that our country's servicemen and servicewomen have done to protect freedom, democracy and the pursuit of happiness.

Harlequin Holiday Open House - Clue #3 The Hero

Thank you to ISAFMEDIA for this photo. A Killer Christmas Clue #3: Nicholas not only had to finish the marathon, he had to finish it in better time than Michael. Being the first in their squad to cross the finish line would mean a lot to him. Pride and bragging rights were at stake. He had been training for months. A few feet to his left, Jessica was putting her all into the run and wearing a pair of running pants that showed off her athletic figure. Not that she needed to put in much effort to look good. Jessica was beautifully strong and incredibly sexy. Nicholas turned his focus back to the race. Their team had to finish ahead of Michael’s.

The Call

-
I love reading stories about writers who get the call from an editor or agent when their book is going to be published. In my writer groups, this telephone call is referred to as "The Call." This differs from the dreaded "R," which is a letter of rejection. So without further ado... my story! I had heard that HRS was increasing their word count and I had assumed that when I heard back about my book, it would be either a rejection or another request for revisions to make the book longer. I was cleaning up the kitchen and getting ready to start dinner when I heard the phone ring. It was a 212 number I didn't recognize. I thought the call might be from a contractor we'd hired to install a new front door in our home. I answered and the person asked for me. She identified herself as Shana Smith from Harlequin (at this point I started shaking) and she said they wanted to publish my book (at this point I almost started to cry with happiness). For one small mo

#TBRCHALLENGE October 2021 - Gothic

 For this month's #TBRCHALLENGE the theme is Gothic. I actually had to look this up in Amazon and turns out I didn't have a single book in my TBR that matched the description. I went ahead and ordered A Lesson in Thorns by Sierra Simone. (Which negates the purpose of the challenge, I know, but I was intrigued by the theme and wanted to stick with it). I have read this author before and enjoyed her. This book was a bit different and I would not classify it as a romance, more like a paranormal mystery with some kink tossed in. There are four books in the series. Thornchapel is a mystical ruin that six children find one summer. When they are reunited as adults, they decide to participate in a ritual together. Where I got lost is understanding why these people made these decisions and seemed to have intense feelings about their relationships, even though most hadn't been in touch since that summer. I think there was SO MUCH going on with each character and their connection to t
