#TotallyTeaserTuesday

Let’s go full-on teaser today with a short Good Folk excerpt. Are you ready? There are no spoilers, so don’t fret. Just a little something fun for you… ***I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from saying something else stupid, like, I do declare, Mr. Deputy. Your quiet, confident ways have me positively in raptures… even though the words weren’t far from the truth. My head felt dizzy, and I had to think he possessed some sort of sexy-voodoo magic. The recipe of him taken all together (...

#MemorableMomentMonday

It’s that time again! #MemorableMomentMonday with Jackson James! Have you read Crime and Periodicals by the talented Author Nora Everly ?! Well, Jackson makes several appearances as fellow-sheriff’s deputy to Nora’s hero, Wyatt Monroe. The two have a very healthy bromance going on and Jackson is pretty helpful in getting Wyatt and his lady love, Sabrina, together. The excerpt I’ve selected for today’s MMM is just following Wyatt and Sabrina’s first meeting. It came about after Jackson abandoned ...

#GoodFolkFriday

I’m BACK…like the Terminator of good news. This story is a doozy. It could have so easily ended in tragedy but this little boy saved his family. It’s chilling.  Over Memorial Day weekend, a man and his two children were out boating and swimming when a strong current swept his four year old away. The father tried to reach her and was unable to maintain his hold on both children. So, his 7 year son swam for over an HOUR to get to shore and seek help from a neighbor. The Florida authorities ...

#TotallyTeaserTuesday

I recently shared this with my reader group, but I felt it prudent to reiterate: Raquel is one of the oddest oddball heroines I’ve ever written. Rae is a bombshell, but she’s also very awkward. For the longest time I fought against her awkwardness, telling myself over and over that a glamorous Hollywood actress isn’t going to stick her foot in her mouth so often and so completely. She’s going to be smooth. Right?Nope. I hope all of you are ready for some seriously cringey, second-hand ...

#GoodFolkFriday

I’m back to share the news…the GOOD news. For this week’s #GoodFolkFriday I wanted to share this very sweet story about a man in Canada who wanted to learn how to do hair and makeup to assist his wife. Have you heard about this one? Her vision had been failing and she was unable to do the things she had before: use a curling iron or apply her eye makeup the way she liked. Anyway, the gentleman approached a local College of Hair and Esthetics in Alberta and the students all took an interest and ...
