My Fantasy Vacation by Lynn Lovegreen
I have been fortunate enough to travel to many wonderful places. Whether it’s taking the ferry to Dutch Harbor, Alaska on the Aleutian Chain, or seeing Shakespeare’s Globe in London, much of my bucket list has already been checked off. But I would like to have a fantasy vacation, too.
I am taking the phrase “fantasy vacation” literally here—why confine ourselves to reality? My fantasy

Dream Vacations Without Leaving Home
by Madelle Morgan
What if you could go on vacation without actually travelling anywhere? That's the type of "staycation" that is opening up with virtual reality (VR).
3D video capture and Google mapping are making the world's sights accessible from your living room. It's called Virtual Reality Tourism.
This didn't exactly sneak up on me. I'm a tech geek and knew the technology was under

WHY I WRITE ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
Hi, I'm Sue Ward Drake.
I’ve been a writer all my life. A column for my
high school paper. Travel journals. Poetry (published when newspapers published
poetry). Advertising copy. I cut my reader’s teeth on Nancy Drew mysteries and early
adventure stories that were in my school library. Eventually, I moved on to
Helen MacInnes who held her own with the male post-WWII, Cold-War thriller

My Summer Outing by Paty Jager
Maggie and I on the 1880's train
This week I’m headed to the Wild Deadwood Reads in Deadwood, SD with my niece-assistant. I
attended the event last year and enjoy not only seeing Deadwood but the trip to
and from the event. We stopped at the Little Big Horn Battlefield on the way to WDR and took a trip down through Wyoming to see one of my high school friends on the way back.

Diamonds 'Til Death Do Us Part
by Madelle Morgan
When diamond
smuggling leads to murder in the Land of the Midnight Sun, diamonds aren’t
geologist Petra Paris’ best friend. Is her life worth a fortune in diamonds?
My romantic thriller Diamond Hunter is set in the subarctic Canadian tundra in July.

summer is spectacular. The “Barren lands”
