I couldn’t resist titling this with a certain square sponge in mind as he whines out “Fuuuuutuuuuure.” And you guessed it, I’m going to talk about the future. Well, not so much the future, but about what’s next (in terms of writing). And honestly, I do not know. I’ve been praying about what the Lord wants me to do next, and I just have this image of dark, mostly calm sea that spreads out in front of me. The darkness isn’t about bad things. it’s about unknown things. That reminds me of the Spring of 2008. Our family was just emerging from a dark valley in terms of finances and testing. Also at this time, we were praying and desperately …

As always, I’m STOKED to share the most recent cover with you–this time for HAWK,  Quiet Professionals #2. As with Raptor, the model on this cover is a veteran (this model served in the Air Force). A terrorist is playing chess with Raptor—and it might be the undoing of Hawk. Staff Sergeant Brian “Hawk” Bledsoe is a man of his word. But when he gives a promise to the green-eyed Afghan woman named Fekiria, the short-fused soldier never knew how much it could cost him. Fekiria Haidary is keeping secrets and telling lies.

Early reviews are coming in, and Raptor 6 is leaving its mark!! After 8 published novels and 3 published novellas, I FINALLY have a Publishers Weekly review. They had this to say about Raptor 6: Ronie Kendig.

But Zarah Zarrick, daughter of a retired general and now a Christian missionary teacher of young Afghan girls, is also unstoppable. She has the technical skills the Afghan terrorists covet, and to Watters’s dismay, she trusts that God will …

If you know me, you know I’ve fallen completely in love with the amazing canines who are serving in our country’s armed forces! I’ve had an awesome time writing about MWDs in the A Breed Apart series, but now, our family is bringing it a little (okay…a LOT) closer to home. As in, right into our home! In April 2013, we knew our 12.5 year old Golden Retreiver was approaching her final days, so we went ahead and filled out the MWD application via Lackland’s site. Their projected wait time of 12-18 months told us we have plenty of time to let Daisy enjoy her final days. Thanks to the amazing help of two wonderful ladies (thank you, Kristie and …
