My beautiful, amazing friend, Jaime Wright, tagged me in the Twenty Questions blog game. I’ll have to fudge some of them since I’m not big on visiting other blogs. So, here goes: 1. How tall are you? 5’5″ and shrinking. 2. Do you have a hidden talent? I’m a pretty open book, so little about me is hidden. A talent that I don’t often talk about is a natural inclination/eye for design (interior and graphic). At least, I’ve been told I have an eye for it. 3. What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve? Super long posts.<–Ditto what Jaime posted. Keep it short and use lots of white space if you want to keep my attention. 4. What’s your biggest non …
Operation Zulu Print Edition Cancelled
I’m very sad to report that the print edition of Operation Zulu has been cancelled. My publisher says there is no demand for it; they might look at it again in a year. So to the many Rapid-Fire Fiction fans who said you were waiting until the print edition came out to read Zulu–I am truly sorry! 🙁 I’m a hardcover/hard-copy kind of girl myself, so I can relate to your disappointment.
Meet Ane Mulligan, My Big–Er, MASSIVE dog-loving friend
It is my extreme pleasure to share with you a dear friend of mine, Ane Mulligan. Over the years, Ane has been a constant source of encouragement and support.

So it’s with pleasure, I introduce you and her debut novel to you! Enjoy! * * * * * * * * * * During one dogless time in my life, behind my back—or more like behind closed doors—Hubs and Son were looking at internet pictures of dogs. They kept showing me these adorable puppy photos. I sneezed my …
WIN a copy of THE LEGEND OF SHEBA!
There are a few people who enter our lives and leave an indelible imprint–Tosca Lee is one of those for me. The obvious part is she’s beautiful. But there’s an incredible depth and intelligence in Tosca that forces me and others to admire her. I’ll never forget the night I won a Christy–she jumped up from her seat as I came off the stage and gave me a huge hug, celebrating with me. She’s been an amazing help to me as I plow into a new series concept, lending me some wisdom on research, sharing scholars, and even brainstorming with me! Who knew a military suspense author and an author who has penned biblical novels–as well as supernatural ones (her series …

Fall Reads
Like you, I have a stack of To-Be-Read books sitting on my desk, more on my small bookshelf, and entirely too many on the bookcase behind me (that’s intentional–if I don’t look behind me, I don’t feel as guilty that I’m so far behind on reading). But I love books, and I’m always looking for hot new reads. Here are some coming this fall (and a couple early next spring) that I’m desperate for! There are so many titles coming out, but I’m limiting to these…for now. LOL SHEBA – Tosca Lee (September 2015) There is the story you know: A foreign queen, journeying north with a caravan of riches to pay tribute to a king favored by the One …
