The third book in my good friend Meradeth's Sary Society Series, SURRENDER THE SKY, has a beautiful new cover and I'm so excited to help her show it off!

So enough of my yammering. Let's get to the good stuff. Take a look at the incredible cover...

My thoughts after reading: "Third Degree" by Julie Cross

Fans of Monica Murphy and Tammara Webber will savor this New Adult novel—a story about coming of age in the heat of the moment—from Julie Cross, the internationally bestselling author of the Tempest trilogy.

I used to be “Isabel Jenkins, child prodigy.” As lame as that sounds, at least it was an identity. But now I’m not sure what I am. I just failed the most important exam of my life—the emotional readiness test required to get into a medical residency program—and it turns out my parents can’...

Something Fun...And a Give Away

Hey, Everyone!

I want to do something fun and I feel like doing a give away since I got a big box of goodies in the mail yesterday. So here's the deal...

So, what do you name a beautiful computer that's fast and does all (well at least helps and usually makes it much easier) do all your work for...

My thoughts after reading: "His Hometown Girl:" by Karen Rock

He'd always managed to best her… 

Jodi Chapman will do whatever it takes to get top care for her autistic son. If that means going home and convincing local farmers to sell their land, so be it.

Facing off against Daniel is the last thing Jodi wants. The attraction that's always fueled their competitiveness is as strong as ever...
