Some books just tear me up inside while I’m reading them. Sometimes it is the circumstances of the characters’ lives. Sometimes it’s the choices they make. With Smoke Screen, it was both! Brenna and Nate’s families were both against seeing the two of them together. Brenna’s because they believed his […]
Have you ever played the “would you rather” game? You know, “would you rather this or this?” with each choice being equally appalling. I have often considered that the one sense I would be most loath to lose is my eyesight. While I’m not afraid that I wouldn’t be able to […]
I’m ready for the next book of the series already! The Kidnapping of Cody Moss is a deeply emotional story. Told from three different perspectives, including that of 13-year-old Cody, who was in the wrong place at the right time and was paying the price. I love the way the […]

The Dive Team Investigations series has come to a breathtaking conclusion with the release of One Final Breath. Wow! What an adventure! I have loved the couples in each of these stories. That they all played a significant role throughout the series made it all the more enjoyable. This exciting […]
More than once, my husband has asked me how I can stand not listening to music while I’m doing something. Music is significant to him and he listens to it continually. The funny thing (to me) is that when he asks, I often have to stop and listen to realize […]
I often talk about how I do not read scary books. Don’t. Won’t. What I may not have mentioned is that I have read some rather scary ones. When I was in my early teens. What in the world was my mother thinking, letting me do that?? What was I […]
