I am so excited! My latest release, LILA'S VOW, has received a CTRR award! This is what the reviewer had to say in her email to me:

"Per my recommendation, your book has received a CTRR (Coffee Time Reviewer's Recommend Award) from Coffee Time Romance & More. This award recognizes outstanding writing styles in all book types and genres. Your book has received this award because I feel it is above and beyond a 5 Cup Rating.

An absolute wonderful book, completely awesome!!! "

Here is the link, but you need to scroll way down to see where LILA'S VOW is mentioned.

I am feeling very lucky today. Maybe I should go play the lottery?

My Books are Sold in India!!!



You will never believe what I stumbled across the other day. All 3 of my books are being sold from a website operating out of India! What a surprise that was. I know that Amazon operates out of the UK, so I know they are sold there. The India site looks very much like Amazon, but is called FlipKart. See the links below for yourself.

No, they aren't translated, so the buyers would have to read them in English. Hmmm, I wonder what those folks would know about the U.S. Civil War? Interesting, huh?

A Late Happy 4th!



A little late, but here's hoping you all had a safe and happy Independence Day!

P.S. Don't eat too much!

I Cannot Tell a Lie--I've been MeMe Tagged

I received the "I Never Tell A Lie" meme from my dear friend, Ginger Simpson. She's got hers posted on her "Dishin' It Out" blog. Why she had to drag me into this, I don't know, but here goes.

Here's the Rules:
Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you. Sometimes you can learn a lot from the things they just make up. If you are tagged with this Meme, lie to me. Then tag 7 other folks (one for each deadly sin) and hope they can lie.

Pride: What is your biggest contribution to the world?
That would have to be my work helping to find a cure for cancer. It was a long, hard year, but worth every minute. (I really did do this, honest!)

Envy: What do your coworkers (fellow authors) wish they had which is yours?
I bet J.K. Rowling wishes she had royalty checks like mine!

Gluttony: What did you eat last night?
Too much.

Lust: What really lights your fire?
The naked vacuum cleaner guy.

Anger: What is the last thing that really pissed you off?
When Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg got into a bidding war to option my book as a movie. Come on guys, somebody decide!

Greed: Name something you keep from others.
My stash of honey-wheat pretzels.

Sloth: What's the laziest thing you've ever done?
Nothing...no, I mean it. The laziest thing I've ever done is nothing at all.

There, are you happy now, Ginger? You made me tell my deepest, darkest secrets at gunpoint! Sheesh!
