What I’m Doing This Summer–Teaching AP Lit
The Worst: Planning next year’s AP Literature course. Ugh. I’m taking an online course with UCLA which is helping with this daunting task. But still, it’s working during the summer. Aren’t teachers supposed to have off?
The Best: Two weeks at the beach and a week at Sea World!
Writing: Working on a new Amish story and two other suspense possibilities.
I would love to hear what everyone thinks about the AP reading list… What do you think should be on the list?

An Easy Summer Pasta Dish
So, it’s too hot to even think about grilling today!!!
Cork screw pasta. Cook and drain. Then saute asparagus and red pepper in grade seed oil. Season to taste. Toss in pasta. So easy and light.

Trail Ride
The pony I’m on wanted no part in the photo opt but a gorgeous weekend here in central Virginia. I wish I had taken photos the entire time because we rode through one beautiful estate after another. Fabulous! Can’t wait to go again.

Lynette Eason, award winning romantic suspense author
One of my favorite authors, Lynette Eason, has recently kicked off a killer new series. A must read for all suspense lovers!

As a member of the North Cascades Smokejumpers, Alexia Allen always takes care of the equipment that keeps her safe. So when she nearly dies in a fire due to equipment failure, she knows something is up. Ordered to take time off while the investigation continues, Alexia makes a last-minute decision to recuperate at her mother’s home and attend her high school reunion. Yet trouble seems to be following her, and within hours of arriving home she’s involved with murder, arson–and a handsome detective. But the conflicts ahead are nothing compared to the ghosts of her past. As she strives to remember and forgive her family history, she must also decide if the secret she’s been guarding for the last ten years must finally come to light.Chock-full of the suspense and romantic tension readers have come to expect from Lynette Eason, When the Smoke Clears is the explosive first book in the Deadly Reunions series.
Here’s what important people are saying about Lynette’s book:
“I love this book. It will keep you guessing until the very end.”–Dee Henderson, bestselling author
Lynette also writes for Love Inspired Suspense and you can check those titles out on her website too.
I recently asked Lynette to read PLAIN SECRETS and here’s what she had to say about it:
“PLAIN SECRETS is an excellent mixture of romance, suspense and mystery.Come join Hannah and Elijah as they rekindle a lost love while eluding a killer. I loved this story and look forward to the next installment.”
Lynette Eason, award-winning author
Thanks, Lynette!

Another Reader Review for Plain Secrets
FANTASTIC STORY! I loved it from beginning to end. You did a wonderful job of combining Elijah’s duty as a cop with the Amish culture. It was terrific. I’m glad that Elijah was able to rejoin the Amish and that he and Hannah will be married. Even though it was sad for Jessica to die like she did, it was wonderful to find out she had stayed true to her faith and was trying to protect and help Abigail. I can’t say enough good things about this story. I hope you continue to write for LI Suspense for many, many years to come.
