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 »

Back to the Future

Of course this book doesn't have any time travel other than mentally, as we go back and forth from teen years to adulthood, but there is a fairly large cast and lots of flashbacks and pertinent history. An engrossing tale.

“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.”
Ed Lynskey, Quiet Anchorage

“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.”
