Suspense and Dean Koontz
I'm guest blogging today over at GirlsWithPens.com. My topic was adding 'suspense' to your fiction, and I used a Dean Koontz novel, The Good Guy, and talked about what he uses to create suspense. I would love for you to come on over and leave a comment, or two :)

FREE for Friday the 13th (and 14th)
My award winning novel STEAL AWAY is FREE today for your Kindle. Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Steal-Away-Teri...
STEAL AWAY was originally published by Multnomah Books. I am so pleased now to offer it as an eBook. It was shortlisted both for a Christy and a Daphne. I hope you enjoy it!
A year ago I thought eReading devices were the dumbest things going. The book itself, the print version, the binding, the pages that turn - whats wrong with that perfectly good technology? And then I got a Kobo Touch for Christmas. And now there is no going back for me. It's featherweight. I can read it in bed without getting shoulder aches, and can adjust the print size for these old eyes of mine.
As for Kindle books, I read them on my iPhone, which is also wonderful. There are so many times I'm stuck in traffic, or stuck in a line in the bank or post office, and can whip out my iPhone and read a chapter or two.
The only thing I don't like? I haven't taken my Kobo into the bathtub with me. Also, the beach. Do you just leave your Kobo or Kindle on the sand when you go in for s swim? I can leave beach books on the sand without a thought. Since I haven't had a Kobo in the summer yet, it remains to be seen what I finally end up doing.
Cheers -

Where "I get my ideas"
I am guest posting on Lois Winston's blog today on where I got the 'idea' for Em Ridge my new series character. Would love for you to come over and visit and comment, if you like.
Em Ridge, or 'Captain' Em Ridge is a boat delivery captain whose job it is to deliver boats - usually luxury yachts - from Point A to Point B. Murder and mayhem always follow! Night Watch is the first in this series.
I'd love for you to come over today and visit and leave a comment if you like.
