359 books2,496 followersI've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another.
I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain.
At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane.
I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-).
Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet.
I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done.
I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH).
My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.

Quite angsty. One of 3 stories bound together .. the Trayhern siblings.

Dated and terribly cliché and just wonderful. I love these books. Total guilty pleasures. And this one, with Aly and Clay, is undoubtedly my favourite of them. Love it forever :)

I have fond memories of the first book in this series so when I saw this one on hoopla I decided to give it a try. The narrator was good though the story itself was dated. I seriously hope that women in the military are no longer treated the way Alyssa was in this book.
The first half of it made me feel angry and if it had continued on like that, it would have had a much lower rating. There was lots of eye rolling every time Clay gets angry at Alyssa for being Morgan Trayhern's sister. I have to give Alyssa credit for the way she handled him. It would have been far beyond my own personality to deal with him.
The second half was all adventure and adversity and I didn't even try to turn it off. It made up for all the anger of the first half.
I am pretty curious about what happened with Morgan and I intend to look for the next book in the series.

Alyssa Trayhern couldn't believe the Navy was about to crash-land her career! But why else assign her as copilot to cocky jet jockey Clay Cantrell? They were at each others throats from the very beginning. She had a brother that walked away from a terrible fire-fight and just left his men to die. Clay's brother was one of those men, and Clay couldn't forgive her for what her brother did.

military romance once again. it's one of her earlier ones.

A sweet story, but very dated. It was originally published in the 80's and it would have benefited from either updating or it's original publication date being mentioned on the cover blurb.
