A Whole Lotta Fun Going On

I didn't publish my Summer Reading List this year and for that my apologies. Mainly, I'm going where the spirit moves me. A clean-up of my bookshelves revealed my to-be-read pile is totally out of control again - close to 300 books. Instead of an organized Summer Reading List then, I'm sifting through the eclectic mix of books there and trying to whittle down this pile.

The state of my Kindle is much the same. About forty books and short stories there to read. I'd like to highly recommend a couple of reads:

J.A. Konrath, thriller author, united with Ann Voss Peterson, Harlequin Intriquie author to write a thriller romance. While this book fell a bit more to the thriller than romance, it was still a rocking good read. For only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle (and probably on Smashwords, too) this is a fun, quick read with lots of things blowing up and a smart, saavy heroine.



CODENAME: CHANDLER

She's an elite spy, working for an agency so secret only three people know it exists. Trained by the best of the best, she has honed her body, her instincts, and her intellect to become the perfect weapon.

Then her cover is explosively blown, and she becomes a walking bulls-eye, stalked by assassins who want the secrets she holds, and those who'd prefer she die before talking.

Chandler now has twenty-four hours to thwart a kidnapping, stop a murderous psychopath, uncover the mystery of her past, retire five highly-trained contract killers, and save the world from nuclear annihilation, all while dodging 10,000 bullets and a tenacious cop named Jack Daniels.

Buckle up. It's going to be one helluva ride


The next one is short short, but still a fabulous execution of a romance short story. Dee Schofield is a pen name of Dean Wesley Smith. Visit his website to see about his 100 short story challenge and then spend a buck and read this great short.



Not really dead, not really alive. That's how Debbie finds herself one fine day in a hospital morgue when the man of her dreams walks in to do an autopsy on her perfectly wonderful body. He thinks she is totally dead. Then things get really weird when he starts talking about dating her. Was her prince charming nothing more than a pervert? Could he find out the truth about her in time?

Dee W. Schofield is the science fiction and paranormal romance pen name for a bestselling fiction writer. For more information about Dee W. Schofield, go to deewschofield.com.


If you'd wondered where I'd gone off to this summer, I've been working on the edits for The Rock Star's Sheriff which will be coming out on August 12th from KLG Press. Visit my website for details and I'll be announcing a contest within the month.



I'm writing my Copper Canyon short story series right now. I love this short story concept as I get to roll with a bunch of characters that I'm enjoying the heck out of. The first short story is Cowboy's Heart and it's scheduled to be published by KLG Press on August 19th. I'm so excited about this series. Seven strong and stubborn cowboys falling for seven strong and stubborn women. It's better than Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the fireworks are Texas worthy!



A release date for Kiss Me Goodnight from The Wild Rose Press is pending. Watch for details on that and I've scheduled time to write a new short story just in time for Christmas - Boo and Lindy's Matchmaking Adventure. I know how much y'all love Boo and Lindy and their antics.

Finally, I've been working hard on my food blog with partner, Tiffany Aller - Worth A Damn Food! Please take a moment and check out our cookbook releases! We are so excited about these. Available on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords - which means virtually everywhere in ebook! Not much better than these tasty recipes! I'm a cookie fiend, so yes, some of these are my absolute favorites. Yes, we will have a print version - of our first seven published mini-cookbooks combined - out before Christmas!
