Avoiding Friday the 13th!

How am I doing that, you may ask? (I hope you ask!) Well, today is my day to blog over at Paranormal Romantics, so I’m there discussing Ancient Egypt, numbers and “She Who Is Foremost in the Library”. Unfortunately that title is not mine LOL, but belongs to this lady pictured below. Please hop on over and catch up with me there!

This or That?

You know I LOVE magazine quick questionnaires, so today I’m answering the Glamour “This or That” challenge (with a few of my own thrown in)! Here goes:



Tom boy or girly girl? Girly girl ¾ of the time, but I went fishing and hunting too.


Straight leg or flared jeans? Actually, I like boot cut…


Grand Theft Auto or World of Warcraft? Waiting for Colonial Marines…


Mascara or lipstick? Mascara! I love cobalt blue the best…


Ballet or hiphop? Am I dancing it or watching it? I’m always in awe of anyone wh...

My Favorite Military Authors for July 4th & G.C Giveaway!

A Writer’s Day at Suits & Spooks LA

How on earth, you may ask, did I end up at an event entitled Suits & Spooks? Being neither….


I do go to plenty of conferences for the day job but they’re all about science and Mars Rovers and process improvements. I go to conferences as an author too, of course, and learn to hone my skills, improve the plotting and heighten the tension…but the purpose of Suits & Spooks per their website is “to bring members from…the U.S. Intelligence Community together with innovative thinkers from a wide vari...
