You've seen Zach. But what about Natalie?

I'm so happy that you're as excited about Jed Hill being on the cover of Breaking Point as I am. As I sat basking in the shadow of his biceps, I remembered that in this case, I also have a physical model for my heroine, Natalie Benoit. And here she is.

Natalie had her I-Team debut in Unlawful Contact, taking Tessa's place on the cops and courts beat. She keeps to herself, and we don't know much more about her other than that she's from New Orleans and that she lost everything in Hurricane Katr...

Breaking Point cover news! We got him!

I just got confirmation from my editor that the photo shoot with Jed Hill happened and that he will be the model on the cover of my next I-Team book, Breaking Point. So, everyone, feast your eyes on Zach MacBride. Not sure what he's doing with boxing gloves. Maybe as part of staying fit — after all former Navy SEALs who become Deputy U.S. Marshals still need to stay in good shape — he took up boxing.



And football, too. Why not? Strap into some shoulder pads, grap a pig skin, skip the T-shirt a...

A daytrip through the Rockies

I'm still at home recovering, but other members of my family are doing what they do on the weekend — hiking and climbing in the mountains.

Since most of you probably haven't been to Colorado, I thought I'd share some photos of my dad and brother's hike up to Blue Lake. My brother David took the photos. Blue Lake is situated high in the mountains just below timberline — the point where trees cease to grow on the mountainsides. The total distance of the hike to the lake is about 12 miles, much o...

Stitches coming out today / BREAKING POINT cover blurb

Sorry, it's not MTM, but it's still pretty. These photos were taken by my son Benjamin's wonderful girlfriend, Lucy Gram.

This is one of the lakes near my home where I often go for walks. I hope to be walking there soon as I get back on my feet. In the background, you can see Longs Peak, one of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks. My family has climbed it many times, and my father thinks that its summit should be my goal for next summer.

It's a 12-hour climb to the summit for most people. My brother d...

Quick update

Thanks, everyone, for your continued good wishes.

I think I've turned a corner here. I'm now one week out from surgery, and the pain is really very manageable at this point. Not that it's not uncomfortable, but I've been able to cut back on the narcotics, which is nice.

As my sister shared with you, I had a night earlier this week where the swelling in my throat got so bad that swallowing was very difficult and breathing even became hard. That was scary. We went in to see the doc the next day a...

Thank you!

It's five AM, and I can't sleep, so I thought I'd pop on and say thank you to everyone for your prayers, kind wishes and encouraging words.

The surgery went well, but keeping my pain under control that first night did not go so well. I was getting IV morphine, plus percocet, plus muscle relaxers and felt like I was getting nothing at all. I really had to focus on relaxing like during labor just to keep from getting very upset about it. Then at about 4 AM the drugs seemed to kick in.

They've giv...

MTM — Men in Jeans II

I love a sexy man in butter-soft jeans. If he's shirtless, so much the better.

This hottie looks like he's waiting for someone — me? — to join him for a little paradise by the dashboard light. He's already got his jeans undone. Oh, how I would love to get my hands on his gears. Notice those obliques.

Yeah.



This sexy guy also has his jeans undone... Any volunteers to help him take them off?



Alas, so many sexy men, so little time.

My blog is going on hiatus for the next few weeks while I have spinal...

Something special for NAKED EDGE fans

The real Kat James passed me the link to this. You truly can find anything on YouTube.

This series of videos highlights the Navajo-Hopi Relocation Act, one of the great crimes perpetuated by Washington, D.C., against Indian people. This is why I first went to the Diné reservation to report on Indian issues, and it's why I kept going back, doing my best to share with a disinterested outside world what was happening to more than 15,000 Navajo people.

The relocation forced people who didn't speak ...

Getting ready for surgery

This weekend, I plan to finish Chapter 10 of Breaking Point, Zach and Natalie's story. But I'm also going to be spending a fair amount of time getting things organized for my surgery and recuperation.

I go to the hospital on Tuesday morning, and the surgery is scheduled for 1 p.m. MT. It should take about three hours, plus about an hour or so in the recovery room. I'll be at the hospital for a couple of days and the home again, where I'll be resting for the next eight weeks while the bone gra...

MTM — Men in Towels

This morning, I find myself wishing for a stiff breeze...



Or hoping that someone will drop the soap...




Or praying one of these men will feel the need to towel dry his hair...



Or hoping the fire alarm will go off and they'll grab their towels, ready to beat out the flames...



Or that some random towel thief will run through the photos...



Or wishing all of these beautiful men would just drop their towels and smile...



Happy Man-Titty Monday!
