Would You Believe?

When I saw the cover of MORE THAN A MAN, my August Intrigue, I did a double take. The great-looking guy on the cover is the spitting image of my son. Did the art department find a picture of him? Or is it just an accident? The skin tone’s off. My son’s got more olive coloration. And his hair is shorter. But that’s HIM. And if he ever sees this post, he’ll probably come after me with an ax for telling you about my reaction to the cover. I know he doesn’t see himself as the hero of a romance novel

When Emma Lowery beaches her kayak on an uninhabited island off the coast of Savannah, an ancient dagger seems to call out to her. Compelled by dark forces, Emma draws blood with his blade

Name that Wolf Contest and BRIDE OF THE WOLF

A few weeks ago, I promised you some information about my “Name that Wolf” contest. Right now he’s called Wolfie. But I’d love some help with a new name for him. Something exotic and romantic and perhaps a bit dangerous. I know that makes him look a little bit toothless, but I use it to disguise his savage nature, since he sits in my living room, and I don’t want him to scare little children who visit. Here he is about to eat an Abyssinian cat.

To enter the contest, you must go through my Web

Here I Am with My Wolf and Blog Tour of KISS OF DARKNESS by Jennifer St. Giles

If you’ve seen me at RT, you’ve seen me walking around with my wolf hand puppet. Here’s where he lives when he’s at home, dressed in a hand-woven jacket that I got at a street market in Guatemala and a leather and fur hat that my son sent from Afghanistan. Right now my wolf’s called Wolfie. Later this year, I’m going to have a contest to name him something snappier.

And here's the latest Author Tour.

Privacy in the Digital Age

Over the years, I’ve always tried to use modern technology in my suspense novels. I remember long ago transmitting data with a cutting-edge communications device–the fax machine. And as my career has progressed, I’ve gotten into DNA evidence, nuclear radiation, clones, and werewolves. The werewolves are easy because I can make up any “rules” I want for them. But even my werewolves have to deal with modern technology.

As an author, I’ve got to keep up with several fields that have changed lif

VALENTINE'S DAY

Here are the two halves of my personality: writing suspense and cooking. I'm baking cookies wearing the KGB tee shirt I got in Moscow a couple of years ago.

My son, who’s a Foreign Service Officer on a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan, asked for some sugar cookies. I haven’t baked cookies in a couple of years, but I wanted to send him some. As it turned out, I got a lot of great help from my grandkids and from their other grandmother, who is up visiting from Bristol, Tennessee. I got
