I grew up knowing family is paramount. I was blessed to spend time with extended family daily, not just on holidays or weekends. Because of those close-knit familial bonds, every day was full of love and laughter, food and fun.

Life took me away from that extended family for twenty years before I finally made it back. And while I'd done my best to keep the traditions alive across the miles, I realize there truly is no place like home.

Through my fiction, I share those traditions and the importance of relationships with you. Mystery or suspense, romance or mainstream, sci-fi or thriller—in my stories, family (however you define it) is paramount.

I don't really get writer's block. There are days I know what I want to say but can't figure out the right way to say it, but that's different than not knowing what to say at all. When that happens, I just write poorly. I can always clean up bad writing later. For people who don't know what to say at all? Well, I'd say write anything. Write gibberish if you have to. Eventually that will turn into crappy words, which will turn into something better. And then you'll have a story, which you can then go back and edit later. Who knows? The gibberish may end up being fodder for your next story, anyway.(less)

The answer will be different for everyone. It's probably different for me every day. But I think having a creative outlet for all the things I want to say is pretty darn satisfying.(less)

But Not Foreclosed by BJ Bourg

Wow, this one was a heartbreaker. I usually figure out what’s going on long before the reveal, but this one stumped me as long as it did the hero.

I had a feeling I was going to love Dawson and Peyton’s story because the second chances trope appeals to me. Then the author went and threw a baby in the mix. I was a goner.

This first book of the Badge of Honor series is also the first book I’ve ready by Lynn Shannon. I found her writing style engaging, her plot well-conceived, and her characters relatable.

Vanished by Irene Hannon

Vanished is the first book I’ve ever read by Irene Hannon. Though called a thriller, I’d be more inclined to call it suspense. Other than intense encounter at the climax, most of the book was suspicion and dread.
