I’ve so been looking forward to this installment of the TRIPLE THREAT novels–even though it’s the fourth (I’d only expected three): Eyes of Justice (A Triple Threat Novel) by Lis Wiehl (with April Henry). Ronie’s FAST-ROPE REVIEW! I am a long-time LIS WIEHL fan, and EYES OF JUSTICE is no different. With compelling plots ripped right out of the headlines and characters I’ve grown to love, EYES OF JUSTICE was both compelling and shattering to read. Wiehl/Henry goes where few authors tend to venture–into the realm of killing off a main character. It’s a challenging and risky step, and one some readers don’t take kindly to. However, the death of one of the Triple Threat was handled very well and …

I am so tickled!! Earlier this week I heard from the amazing Ashley Schrock, who has designed all my covers. She was asking about harnesses and patches for Talon’s cover. I was so excited doing the research to help her figure out what was best to use. Today, I got this email from her–along with photo: Hey Ronie, Got some more cool stuff for you. 🙂 The designer sent over an outtake from the photo shoot today for Talon. She said the dog was very friendly and liked to roll in the dirt, so they played together a bit in-between takes. Happy Easter! Ashley What do you think? Is this Lab happy or what? 😀 And what a beautiful model! …

Y’all, I am beside myself. Lynette Eason, author of amazing romantic suspense titles, including her recent release, WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS, has offered this fantastic endorsement of TRINITY: Military War Dog!! “Ronie Kendig strikes gold with book one in her new series! Gritty, honest characters that grab your heart and don’t let go. Heath, Jia and Trinity make an exceptional team. The suspense rocks, the romance sizzles and the danger escalates at a rapid pace. Ronie’s accurate and in the headlines portrayal make will make you get on your knees and thank God for people who are willing to put their lives on the line to fight terrorism. This is a book you won’t want to put down until you …

So I got the kewlest Facebook message this week from Cory Clubb. He’s been really cool on FB and I’ve enjoyed getting to know him a bit and have LOVED seeing his amazing skillz in graphic design. Cory said that the cover for Trinity, in his mind, didn’t really capture the essence of the story, so…he made his own. What do you think? Is that not RAWKIN?!?! I was so stoked and impressed that I actually asked Barbour if it was too late to use Cory’s concept/layout for the cover. Alas, their version of the cover (see below) has already been set up for catalog, etc., and Talon’s is already in progress (Beowulf too), so we’re too late. But I …
