About this author

I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for thirty-one years and to keep insanity at bay, I took up writing. Not to worry. The insanity isn’t catching – much. Other than the addiction to chocolate and the twitch in my left eye, I’m good. I’ve had my weird but true stories published in newspapers and magazines. My first book was The Ghost Wore Polyester, a murder mystery/comedy set in Sedona, Arizona. Just My Luck and The Warlord’s Comeuppance are the first two in the Coletti Warlord series. My new book is The Nasty Vamp, a paranormal romance with a sense of humor. It received 5 cup review at Coffee Time and 5 hearts at Sizzling Books. My new book, I Hear Voices, a paranormal romance in the vein of Raiders of The Lost Ark meets Romancing The Stone will be...more


I added Chapter Three. Enjoy!

Gail Koger I did!! Another happy dance. Thanks bunches!!


message 88: by Sandra

Sandra FictFact is a free website for keeping track of series, so you can't add standalone books. Many of my GR friends and members of my groups belong to it.

When Vexing Voss is released I'll get it added, no probs.

I've done my review for IHV, hope you like it :)


message 87: by Gail

Gail Koger Thank you! I hadn't heard of it. There are so many websites out there. I'm getting some really terrific reviews on I Hear Voices. See me do happy dance!!


message 86: by Sandra

Sandra Gail, just so you know, I got Coletti Warlords added to FictFact :)

Gail Koger July 6th and yes I need readers for early reviews. So let me have your email address. I might have to use my final proof copy - which has no cover art and some minor corrections.

Gail

 Rosebud A little birdie told me your final edit went in for "I Hear Voices". Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any definite release date? Only post if it's a definite because I've had this on my "to buy" for April.
If you need any volunteers for early read look me up.


message 83: by Gail

Gail Koger Thank you! It took me a year of trying to get an interview.

Mari Thanks for the add, Gail. Have a great day.


message 79: by Gail

Gail Koger Detja's a hoot. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a bit different from Just My Luck. My chat last night was a bust. Guess the chat host said I never showed. But when I logged in it was 7pm my time. I have to figure out what when wrong.

Gail


message 78: by Sandra

Sandra Gail, just finished reading WC. Very very good. Will have to read it again to get all the nuances.


message 77: by Gail

Gail Koger Thanks! I like it, too!


message 76: by Sandra

Sandra It's sexy!!!

I like it!!!


message 75: by Sandra

Sandra Ah, a come out chat. I'll have to keep on at my computer to upload the Java update then. For some reason it doesn't want to do it. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Hope Bunny is still coming along.

I'll just go and look at the trailer now and post back.


message 74: by Gail

Gail Koger The Chat isn't until July 9th so plenty of time. My page with Warlord looks so bare after Just My Luck.


message 73: by Sandra

Sandra You did a great job putting the new book in the db. I usually go in and fix all the WP books and add the covers etc.

I didn't get to the chat on the 9th, Java is still playing up on my computer. Hope it went well :)

19 days to go and counting.....


message 72: by Gail

Gail Koger Bunny is coming along very very well. Having lots of fun with her.


message 71: by Sandra

Sandra Loved Bunny. Write faster Gail.


message 70: by Gail

Gail Koger Thanks! I'm getting some really nice reviews on my Goodreads page lately, too. Just about done with Warlord. The last two pages and then checking for typo's and stuff. Cindy my old editor is proof reading it for me.


message 69: by Sandra

Sandra Just thought I'd let you know, I just read JML again (don't know how many times that is) and the rollercoaster still works. Keep up the good work!


message 68: by Gail

Gail Koger Gotcha! Working!


message 67: by Sandra

Sandra That's just horrible. Sorry to hear that.

Stay inside and write, snow or not, it will be much safer.


message 66: by Gail

Gail Koger Ouch! Ouch!

Flagstaff area and around the Grand Canyon got hammered. Big car wreck because of the blowing snow. By Tucson 20 car pile up with several people dead because of the blowing dust. But Phoenix area - zip snow.


message 65: by Sandra

Sandra Lash! Lash! Christmas is over. Write faster. Lash!

Isn't it perfect writing weather over there now (not that I expect you've got blizzards, like the rest of USA) ?


message 64: by Gail

Gail Koger Saw Sherlock - a good popcorn movie. I'm glad Christmas is over too. Gotta get to work! That deadline is looming!


message 63: by Sandra

Sandra I agree, Sherlock Holmes does look good. Always like a good Sherlock. We'll have to see, hubby is on hols for 3 weeks so I'm sure we'll see one if not both. Christmas was pretty good, all the rels behaved, plenty of food, the grannies were well and the nieces & nephews thrilled with their goodies. But glad its over.


message 62: by Gail

Gail Koger Ha! Avatar is a wow for special effects. I want to see
Sherlock Homes next.

Have a great Christmas!

Gail


message 61: by Sandra

Sandra I was thinking about seeing Avatar - the trailer looks good. And I deliberately didn't hassle you about Warlord - I thought I'd give you one day off. Have a happy Christmas.


message 60: by Gail

Gail Koger Chocolate!! Yum. They've had so much food at work I'm sure I've gained ten pounds! Still working on Warlord and I'm pretty sure I'll meet that deadline.

Go see Avatar - really good movie!

Merry Christmas!


message 59: by Sandra

Sandra Have a happy Christmas, hope you get lots of chocolate!!

And you're welcome for the support, "you know I love reading your stuff, man".

message 58: by Gail

Gail Koger Yeah, my favorite, too. She is a multi-millionaire and all she does is write.

My dream. Write full time


message 57: by Sandra

Sandra I'd love the money Nora Roberts must make too!

Really liked the "in death" book of hers I read.




message 56: by Gail

Gail Koger Thanks, I'd love to get a big publisher but it's a tough market out there! I want to get the money Nora Roberts makes!


message 55: by Sandra

Sandra All fingers and toes crossed.

It's been in the 90's to 100's here the last 2 weeks, so we've done a complete swap with the weather by the sounds of it.


message 54: by Gail

Gail Koger Christmas is out this year. That money went to chopping up the branch. But next year will be better.
Actually got cold last night - dropped into the 30's.
Got a couple of blogs one with The Romance Studio and Fang-tastic coming up, hope they will help sell books. Also got a big New York agent looking at Warlord, keep your fingers crossed.


message 53: by Sandra

Sandra Gail, just read the post on the 40 ft branch. Lucky no one was hurt let alone the damage. You just can't take a trick, can you!

Things are just rolling along here as normal except I'm trying to finish Chrissie shopping. Nearly there, phew!


message 52: by Gail

Gail Koger Ooops! Yes, I'm writing as much as I can!


message 51: by Gail

Gail Koger Had a forty foot branch come down in my backyard on Thanksgiving. It landed on my neighbor's fence - thank God no damage but it cost me $180 to get it removed! Ugh! Need to work more overtime now.

How's things with you?


message 50: by Sandra

Sandra Gail,

Congratulations.

You made Top 5 Hot Hooks Pick at Loose-Id. Hope you are writing fast & furiously. What a great Thanksgiving present.

message 46: by Sandra

Sandra I don't know what to say that's not rude. Bummer!!!

Keep hanging in there.


message 45: by Gail

Gail Koger I know. Waiting to see. My job with Bank of America went south. Their reason for not hiring me was when I was asked how I found out about the job. I told them someone from the bank saw my resume on Career Builders and sent me the job information and I applied. They felt I wasn't really interested in the job. Huh? I applied because I was. I think my age was the real problem.

My fingers & toes are crossed for Loose-id's Hot Hooks tomorrow your time.




message 43: by Gail

Gail Koger It's worth a try - I only have two days left to get people to vote


message 42: by Sandra

Sandra What about all your fans/friends here on Goodreads. They'd be happy to read the next book.

And you're welcome for the support.


message 41: by Gail

Gail Koger I know, M/M stuff doesn't interest me at all. I'm pretty shameless, I even got the clerk at the Jack-In-The Box to vote for me and all the girls at my vets office. So, we will see. Thanks for your support!


message 40: by Sandra

Sandra OK I've voted on Loose Id hot hooks contest. Most of your competition was M/M stuff, which doesn't interest me but who knows how people will vote.

Fingers crossed.
