361 books2,503 followersI've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another.
I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain.
At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane.
I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-).
Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet.
I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done.
I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH).
My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.

Morgan's Mercenaires: Heart of the Warrior
This is the one I really felt sorry for Inca a lost soul that had no one or so she thought until she meets Roan Storm Walker and her sister Maya Stephens.

Inca is a warrior and she was going to be leading a group of soldiers and she was going to be working with Roan Storm Walker who was a Native American and Mike thought she would work well together. They were going after drug runners in Peru and Brazil. They were going after the Valentino Brothers and they had at least six areas of operation. The Colonel found out that their guide was a woman and he blew a gasket, he said Inca shot and killed his first born son. (She wasn't even there, but 200 miles away). After they got the Colonel calmed down he agrees to work with them.
There are many other things that happen, but it is well written and I liked it!

Somehow I prefer my heroines to be tough yet submissive.
The heroine of this story was just too tough, she hardly lets anyone in and is very defensive of herself. Shes like a time bomb waiting to explode. She's like the embodiment of bad feminism who later comes to know a man's touch.
The plot itself I do not find interesting for me to stay and finish it.
