A sneak peek 😍
Here in Tennessee, it's warming up (sometimes TOO much, I like to be a little chilly...all the time. lol Sweating my butt off isn't for me), and I've been taking some walks between writing and other work. I've got a few short trips planned (to see my mom in NM, my brother in VA, some beach time, camping with geocaching friends, that kind of thing) and I'm excited to get "out and about" again. I hope those of you who live in places that are still suffering from COVID affects can slowly get back to normal (whatever that is) soon.
It's almost time for Falling for the Delta. I've been asked what series these stories are in, and they're true stand alones. BUT it's set at Fort Hood, Texas, so you *might * see some Deltas you know and love show up. :) I've included a small snippet of my story to give you a taste!
(This one won't be in Audio (sorry!) but coming in July is Trusting Molly! It's right around the corner!
As a reminder, I've now got hardcovers for some of my books! They're actually really cool. If this is your kind of thing, I've got some copies in my online store you can pick up!
Remember, life isn't always sunshine and roses, but...hang in there, the hard times will pass and the good will come around again. Be kind to those around you, you never know when someone is going through one of those hard times and a little kindness can go a long way.

Sneak Peek of Fall for the Delta
"You live here?”
Holly’s mind was spinning. It didn’t help that Dash still hadn’t let go of her hand. “No. Stella picked me up and we went out for lunch. She was going to drop me off later.”
“I’ll take you home.”
It wasn’t a question, and before Holly could respond, he’d shifted, moving the hand that had been holding hers to the small of her back and propelling her toward the parking lot.
Holly knew she should protest. This was how people got kidnapped and killed. But this was the man she’d been secretly crushing on for weeks. And she knew he was a Delta Force operative. She was ninety-nine-point-nine percent sure he wasn’t going to drive her to some deserted wheat field and rape and murder her.
But she still turned and looked back at Stella and Magic. She caught her friend’s eye and raised a hand up and mimicked talking on a telephone. Call me later, she mouthed.
Stella gave her a thumb’s up behind Magic’s back, then rested her head back on his shoulder.
A deep chuckle sounded from next to her once more, and Holly looked up at Dash.
“If it makes you feel better, you can text her my license plate number. But, Holly, you’re safe with me.”
And just like that, Holly knew she was a goner. His low, earnest voice, along with the sincerity in his gaze, almost had her melting into a pile of goo right there on the sidewalk. It was stupid—she didn’t know this man, but everything within her was telling her he was one of the good guys. That he wouldn’t ever hurt her.
She let him guide her to his car, a black Dodge Dart, and she couldn’t stop smiling as he opened the door for her. Once she was settled, he stood there for a second looking down at her.
“What?” she asked, nervously pushing a lock of hair behind her ear.
“Nothing. It’s just that I can’t believe you’re here. Finally.”
And with that, he shut the door and began to walk around to the driver’s side.
Holly had no idea what that meant, but it had to be good, right? Could he possibly have noticed her too and been interested? No, that couldn’t be what he meant.
But the spark that had been lit when she’d touched his hand the first time flared inside her. She had no idea what was happening, but she took a deep breath and told herself to not do anything embarrassing. If there was even the slightest chance Dash might be interested in her, she didn’t want to do anything to mess that up.
