I grew up knowing family is paramount. I was blessed to spend time with extended family daily, not just on holidays or weekends. Because of those close-knit familial bonds, every day was full of love and laughter, food and fun.

Life took me away from that extended family for twenty years before I finally made it back. And while I'd done my best to keep the traditions alive across the miles, I realize there truly is no place like home.

Through my fiction, I share those traditions and the importance of relationships with you. Mystery or suspense, romance or mainstream, sci-fi or thriller—in my stories, family (however you define it) is paramount.

I don't really get writer's block. There are days I know what I want to say but can't figure out the right way to say it, but that's different than not knowing what to say at all. When that happens, I just write poorly. I can always clean up bad writing later. For people who don't know what to say at all? Well, I'd say write anything. Write gibberish if you have to. Eventually that will turn into crappy words, which will turn into something better. And then you'll have a story, which you can then go back and edit later. Who knows? The gibberish may end up being fodder for your next story, anyway.(less)

The answer will be different for everyone. It's probably different for me every day. But I think having a creative outlet for all the things I want to say is pretty darn satisfying.(less)

Vanished by Irene Hannon
Rate this book
Clear rating
Vanished is the first book I’ve ever read by Irene Hannon. Though called a thriller, I’d be more inclined to call it suspense. Other than intense encounter at the climax, most of the book was suspicion and dread.

Throughout this series, I’ve had mixed feelings about the significant others in the group. Leah isn’t my least favorite, but she’s a close second. It’s hard to feel compassion for someone so driven by money—even with an understandable reason. Add to ...more

I was waiting for this one. It was hinted at for a while now, and it was a joy to see it come to fruition. I rooted for Trey and Eryn from the first page (and even before that). While Trey didn’t have much of an arc (he was close to the finish line f ...more

Because this next-in-series follows the same formula as the others and involves the group of guys I’ve grown so fond of, it should have been another hit for me. Unfortunately, there were some misses.
