In Search of Truth is on sale for the first time!

  In Search of Truth, book 3 in the Deadly Force series , released in February 2020, just before the Covid lockdowns began. So I never did any bookstore visits or reader conventions with this book. While it still sold, I was always sad that it never got the attention the other books in the   Deadly Force series   got (because each one is like my baby! lol). But I recently heard from my publisher that they’ve put this book on sale for $1.99 (from $7.99) until 9/28. Since I have no control over the pricing of this book, now is the time to grab it! And I hope you love it as much as I loved writing it. In Search of Truth... on sale now! Buried treasure… buried feelings…all about to surface… Anthropologist Allison Pinckney is stunned when she inherits the key to a seventeenth century pirate cipher that makes her the target of two brutal arms dealers. Now, to save those she loves, she must solve the cipher. With this perilous mission growing ever more dangerous, she reluctantly seeks help fr

Beyond Courage Release Day and a Sale

 I  love release days, but the   Beyond Courage Anthology  is another collection I’ve been waiting for for months! Actually, I’ve been waiting for this one for over a year. Almost two years ago, I wrote a novella called   Searching for Ever After   for the   Wedding Tails Anthology –a project I did with other Sourcebooks authors. Because of the parameters of the story, I had to keep the story lighter that I normally write. And since this novella is part of my   Deadly Force romantic suspense series ,   and takes place a week after   In Search of Truth (book 3 in the series)   ends, it normally would’ve been darker and more suspenseful with at least one steamy scene.   So when the  Beyond Courage Anthology   project came up, I decided to rewrite  Searching for Ever After  with a more steamy, romantic suspense tone. And a huge plus is that this project includes some of my favorite author friends. So I got to work with friends and rewrite a story so it fits better within the series–a huge

Rose Guthrie hasn’t trusted anyone since her parents’ death. Yet, to make money for her brother’s heart transplant, she agrees to deliver a sealed box to a mysterious buyer. Until the box—and the seller—disappear.

With one clue left, she breaks into Doom—Savannah’s violent, illegal fight club. Unfortunately, Doom’s referee—the sexy, ex-Army Ranger, Kade Dolan—stands in her way. Although she harbors a secret
I  love release days, but this anthology is another one I’ve been waiting for for months! Summer romances are some of my all-time favorites to read and write, and my newest story is in  Craving My Roommate , a steamy contemporary romance collection of the best romantic beach novellas by some of my favorite friends/authors. My story in this anthology,   A Room with a Groom , is the final romance novella in the saga of Ben Mosby and Sophie Sinclair, the hero and heroine of  The Brightest Christmas Star  and  His Wildest Sunflower . In  A Room with a Groom , Ben and Sophie are on the way to their long-awaited wedding–until everything falls apart. This book is part of the  Kingsmill Courtships Contemporary Romance Novella Series , a collection of stories about Gage Mosby–a retired Army Ranger–who plans to secretly marry off all of his restless nieces and nephews. This week, this anthology is .99. But the price will go up next week to $3.99 when it also goes into KU (Kindle Unlimited). Crav
