End the Silence? Okay, listen to this…
“Every 15 seconds a woman in America is being abused. One out of four women will fall victim to domestic violence at some point in their life, and this is a season-long call for action.

This is book 7 in the series. Unfortunately, this one was a disappointment […]

Brand New Look
Here we are again, but with a whole new look!I had a difficult time in choosing the direction and color. The new theme of “Dusk to Dawn” suits my reading and writing preferences, is a little more serious and dark, but can easily be changed with either my mood or the season. I hope you […]
