I love speed. When I drive, that is. I don’t “speed” in a legal sense, but I love getting off to a quick start and staying ahead of the pack. On an open roadway, I love taking my feisty little Hyundai into a tight, banking curve, keeping her nice and steady until she can slingshot…

Six Sentence Sunday ~ January 15
Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday! This week I’m continuing with sections from my romantic suspense, Surrender to Sanctuary, which tells the story of FBI agents Anna Parker and David Owens who go under cover in an adult (BDSM) club to solve a murder. Last week we saw David Owens taking a peek at Anna’s…
Six Sentence Sunday ~ January 8
Good morning, all, and welcome to my first Six Sentence Sunday of 2012! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I took a few weeks off to do some blog hopping, but I’m excited to be sharing my stories with you once more. This week’s selection is from my 2010 release, Surrender to Sanctuary,…
New Year Blog Hop – My Favorite Memory
Hello and welcome to the 2012 New Year Blog Hop! I’m thrilled to be part of this group of authors and reviewers who are sharing favorite memories and traditions of ringing in the new year. I’ll be giving away a copy of my 2010 release Surrender to Sanctuary, and a copy of my recently released…
354 and Counting
Three hundred fifty-four. If my math is correct, that’s the total number of days left before the end of the Mayan calendar, which some believe foretells the end of the world…at least as we know it.

Merry Christmas!
Well, it’s just after 7 a.m. on the East Coast of the U.S. My husband and I are up and about already, excited to start celebrating. Our “kids” (ages 27 and 23) are still fast asleep. We’re making as much noise as we can to wake them “accidentally.” So far no luck. 🙂 We’ve been…
Holiday Blog Hopping – Did you open any gifts yet?
If you celebrate Hanukkah, chances are you’ve opened at least one Hanukkah gift by now. But if you celebrate Christmas, you might be watching a growing pile of gifts under your tree, waiting for a chance to dig in. 🙂 When I was growing up, we didn’t open any gifts, not one, until Christmas morning….
Do the uncharitible deserve our charity?
When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, we must try charity, which is love in action. ~ Dinah Maria Mulock. * I noticed that quote this morning on Twitter. Just one of dozens of messages downloading on my screen every minute or so, it caught my eye because charity has been on my…
