Operation Zulu: Redemption Makes 2014 Top Fiction Lists
I’m SO tickled to see my much-loved digital serial Operation Zulu Redemption – Complete Season 1 making some readers’ Top Fiction Picks for 2014. As I announced a couple of months ago, the publisher has chosen not to publish the paperback version of this series, so finding readers have loved it enough to put it on their Top Picks! lists just blesses my socks off (and it’s cold here in Northern Virginia, so that’s saying a lot!)! 😀 GRACE IN OUR MOMENTS: http://graceinourmoments.blogspot.com/2014/12/favorite-books-of-2014.html MY FAVORITE PASTIME: http://myfavoritepastime.blogspot.com Thank you, Amanda Francis Holland and Julie Gilmore Graves, for posting OZ:R on their lists!

A Word From Hawk’s Grandfather
Rapid-Fire Fiction Task Force member Sarah P created this graphic that she posted on her blog, along with her review of HAWK. I just love it!!
