FOR HORROR WEEK--Did You Know?
I am mostly known for clean, sweet, historical, western romance, but did you know I had written a HORROR story with the inimitable Jane Lebak?
One could actually include all the tags above (except historical) when describing the tale, but acclaimed horror author Susan May was gracious enough to have reviewed, saying: "This has to be one of the best horror stories I've read in a long time. I'm a hor Read more of this blog post »

"I think this book (and the series as a whole) has the potential to support children and their adults with understanding and embracing all of the parts of themselves.
As an adult, I struggled with how busy the pages were and how often the fonts changed" Read more of this review » |

This is fantastic for helping children with their anxieties. I just loved the illustrations too, they really pulled me in. The book made my daughter feel like she had a special relationship with it and it was going to help her pull through." Read more of this review » |

Lesson in homonyms! Two great lessons: one in spelling and one in swimming pool etiquette, both quite useful. A cute story about a very real trauma in many kids lives! (With fun illustrations.) |

| Of course I like it...I wrote it! This tale of a special friendship is an excerpt from a story of a couple who keep a pact, and was produced separately as a tribute to the friend who inspired the story of the fly. | |

“Nozy Cat lifted one sleepy eyelid, and his marble blue eye glared at her for interrupting his sacred nap. He wore a yellow collar with little red stars printed on it. His second eyelid also opened, and he gave them his irritated blue-eyed glare.”

“Quote is taken from Chapter 1:
A decade ago when Isabel’s husband Max had died, they’d moved in together and merged their possessions. Neither sister brought any fussy teapots, canaries, sachets, or doilies, but lots of other stuff had to either stay or go. Looking at the lime green armchair gave Alma the willies. Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel’s frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”

“The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.”
