Intrigue News
I have an Intrigue miniseries coming out in early 2011. It is related to my first Intrigue, UNDER THE GUN, and follows the other men of The Recovery Project. I officially have titles for the books, so I thought I'd share:

February: GUNNING FOR TROUBLE (Caleb's story)
March: LOCKED AND LOADED (Adam's story)
April: THE BIG GUNS (Zach's story)
So excited!

Snippet Saturday
This week's theme is risky business. Since that tends to be a theme in all my books, I had a hard time picking one. Decided to go with RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

He skidded to a halt next to her. Thanks to regular workouts he handled the run...

Can You Guess?
I saw this foreign cover over the weekend. The title translates as Dangerous Game. Can you guess the book?
