Award-winning author Rhea Rhodan resides in Minnetonka, Minnesota. She’s been telling herself stories since long before she learned to write. She attended the University of Minnesota with a focus on Journalism, then Brown Institute for Broadcast Journalism. After many adventures, misadventures, and a couple of short marriages, she found the love of her life in Regensburg, Germany, and has been living happily ever after since.

She journaled those adventures extensively (some might say rabidly) beginning in middle school, but didn't combine her writing and story-telling until several years ago, when one of the stories grabbed her by the throat and shook her like a rag doll until she gave in and wrote it. Having tasted freedom, her muse refuse

I'll say the end of summer. I'd love to have it out sooner, but I'm fussy about edits and everything takes longer than I think it will. Thank you so much for encouragement! (less)

Hi PNR. Great question! Authors always love to talk about what they're working on :>)

I'm almost done with a (really) rough draft of a story about a heroine who's nearly as damaged as Thorne--maybe worse in a way, though for a different reason. Dr. Prudence Marsh is also high-tech and brilliant, but that's where the resemblance ends. Our hero, Max Delaney, is a disillusioned womanizer and ex-SEAL charged with protecting her while she finishes a top-secret project for the Navy.

While it's not exactly a sequel to FINDING GRACE, Blackridge does play a part, and Dagger and Thorne do have a few scenes. You'll see more of Farley and a bit of Mills. There is a fantasy element to this one, though it's still mostly contemporary romantic suspense.

I've missed all of my personal deadlines getting this one done, but these last two years have been doozies. I'm totally ready for a new one.

Wishing you a Happy New Year, PNR, and many happy reads!

P.S. Can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind reviews. They make it all worthwhile. (less)

“My advice to you, Joe, is to pick up a damn shovel, clean up whatever shit you can and learn how to shut your fucking mouth while you still have all of your teeth and can breathe through your nose.”
Rhea Rhodan, Finding Grace

“What do you mean I can’t have my parasol back?”

“Even if it wasn’t evidence, your umbrella has been illegally modified.”

“Illegally modified? That’s reaching a bit, don’t you think, Officer?” Officer? Evidence? What?

“Confiscating an umbrella with a spring-loaded twelve-inch spike on the end that maimed three men can hardly be called reaching, Ms. Sinclair.”
Rhea Rhodan, The Legacy of Buchanan's Crossing

“What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms . . . or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.”
Taylor Swift

“One minute she was just this woman I worked with, the next, she was this woman I couldn't go an hour without seeing.”
Dominique Eastwick, Tony's Haven

“He's naked," she said in a whisper louder than a yell.
"He knows," Cyrus said.
"Does he want a blanket?"
"Apparently not.”
Dominique Eastwick, Shifting Hearts

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

C.K. Garner Rhea,

That was lovely of you to like my post about Odyl, I really appreciate it! I'm continuing to scratch up information on them to see exactly what it costs and if it seems worth it to use Odyl to organize FB and Twit. If I do decide to use them I'd be going in at the lowest level so we'll see what happens together. :)
