OUR FAVORITES FROM OUR LATEST

Below are a few of our favorite excerpts from our latest release, Double Blind. We promise, no spoilers.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sheila walked out of the room and forced herself to aim for the back entrance, where a park-like setting lured her to gentle woods and a walking trail just outside that door. Unfortunately, knowing Preston was in the office made her steps falter. The man was like a banana split with whipped cream, nuts, and cherries on top, with three of her favorite flavors of ice cream—chocolate, coconut, and almond.
-----------------------------------------------------------
He gazed down into that ultra-feminine face with the gamine features, hazel eyes, firm chin. Why did all the women in his life have such stout hearts? His own sister had battled threats from a stalker for years. His mother continued to battle a wicked mental illness with a brave spirit that had been bruised and wounded again and again, but never broken.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"You can battle your fear, and even the spirit of evil, only with good. All good in my life comes from the Holy Spirit of God, not from my own strength or so-called magic words or ancient rituals and symbols. From God alone."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Nobody has the right to control me."

"The One who creates has every right to control His creation. When we allow Him to guide us, we're wisely acknowledging His role in the universe."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"I was dedicated," Preston said. "My whole family was dedicated. He was the One Who turned His back on us. I finally got the message strong and clear, even though my family didn't."

"The Shepherd doesn't abandon His sheep," Blaze said. "That wouldn't have been a message from God."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"What has her faith offered her?"

"So that bit about everlasting life and heaven and all that soared right over your head in Sunday school?" Blaze asked.
----------------------------------------------------------
On Monday morning, the silent beauty of passing scenery lulled Sheila to the edge of slumber. The ochre and mauve of the peaks, and the uneven, jutting edges at the horizon, the gentle turquoise of the unbroken sky, had drawn her heart back to this place over and over again. She allowed the colors to settle into her soul as her eyes closed.

Merely mediocre; decent, but nothing special.

Newly widowed Amity fleas to her aunt's B & B after some frightening phone calls from her late husband's "friends." Her husband was abusive and dishonest, and she knew there was some kind of trouble haunting her from his grave. Upon arrival, she meets up with Titus,who automatically becomes her protector.

Since I live down the road from Eureka Springs and have been to the Passion Play, I loved going back stage. Titus's protection of Amity was adorable! I really, really, really liked Titus!
