A hundred-thousand thank yous once again to Kirk DouPonce of DogEared Designs for his creative genius. THE WARRIOR’s SEAL will provide a brief introduction to Tox Russell and his team in a digital-only format (or in other words–I’ll tease you like crazy with what’s to come in CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE). Without further ado…     A Special Forces team is thrust into a war with the past after an artifact unleashes a deadly toxin.   Special Forces operator Cole “Tox” Russell and his team are tasked in a search-and-rescue—the U.S. president …

HOOAH!!! Thank YOU, Awesome Rapid-Fire Readers, for voting FALCON as one of FamilyFiction’s Reader’s Choice Top 15 Books of 2015!!! Back in November, FALCON was also selected as a RT Book Reviews Reviewer’s Choice Award Nominee (winners announced later this year).

Last fall, I talked with Sarah Grimm, owner/designer/genius of Grimmlies, about creating a Grimmlies version of Chima, the raqine from Embers. And now…here is she–CHIMA!! And for your reading pleasure, for those who have yet to read Embers, here is a snippet with Chima:      In the yard below, Klome stumbled backward from the den, using one of the corded whips and aiming it at the opening. Tili’s question froze on his tongue as the wood gate exploded. Shouts and screams. A second later, a raqine soared into the open, roaring. The sound vibrated against Tili’s chest. Zicri? But as the beast angled toward the den master, he saw the familiar red tinge to the coat—Chima! Klome shouted. “What …

When something is this gorgeous, there’s not much to say…except, You’re welcome! Conspiracy of Silence Tox Files #1 December 2016   Available for Pre-Order 2/24/16 BLURB: Four years after a tragic mission decimated his career and his team, former Special Forces operator Cole “Tox” Russell is persona non grata to the United States.

OH. MY. GOSH!! Y’ALL!!!! I just saw the cover for Conspiracy of Silence and it’s STINKIN’ AWESOME!! I cannot wait to share it with y’all, but my publisher said I can’t do that until next month. But trust me–it’ll be worth the wait! And a smidgen of bad news–my release date is pushed back to December. Sorry. I cried, too, but I trust my publisher that this is a good move. smile emoticon

I’m a very traditional person. I like traditional decor. I like traditions–Christmas in a warm, loving home surrounded by family. But this year, my middle daughter is in the Disney College Program and couldn’t come home for Christmas. So, we decided to Christmas in Orlando. Phew! I tell you–I’ve been around enough people in those six days to fix me for life! LOL And we had adventure, too (more on that later, along with a rare-from-me not-so-PC commentary). Ultimately, the trip was exhausting but wonderful! I’m not anxious to repeat it, but I have no regrets!!  

Absolutely heartbroken over the developing events in Paris. Please–pray for them. Pray for their country. Pray for their grieving families. Pray for them.
