Excerpt - Intervention by Terri Blackstock

Camy here: This is one of those books where I read the back cover blurb and ached because I wished I'd come up with a story premise so incredibly clever and cool! Then again, why am I surprised? This is Terri Blackstock, after all.

It was her last hope—and the beginning of a new nightmare.

Barbara Covington has one more chance to save her daughter from a devastating addiction, by staging an intervention. But when eighteen-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment—and her interventi...

Excerpt - Guardian of the Flame by T.L. Higley

T.L. Higley is a friend of mine, but I would love her books even if I didn't know her. Her first novel in this Seven Wonders series, Shadow of Colossus , was fantastic. I usually don't care much for ancient or Biblical historical fiction, but Colossus was a fascinating book with an interesting story premise and good characters. I haven't read the book below yet, but it's in my TBR pile, and I don't expect to be disappointed! Read the excerpt to see if the story interests you!

I couldn't resist posting these cute dog pictures that my Mom emailed to me!


"Pardon me, I just farted."

"You have a huge chunk of spinach in your teeth. Let me get it out for you..."
Canine of the Corn
A true photo hog
This amazes me. My dog would not have this kind of self control.
Nor this kind of self control, either!










Naturally, I couldn't resist posting some recent photos of our dog, Snickers!

Know why she's so focused? I am holding a piece of chicken and she...
