Love a blend of romance, mystery, and suspense? Read LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN, a bestseller in romantic-suspense.

If you love your novels filled with romance, mystery, suspense, and tragedy—after all, what would a great story be without a tragic event setting the stage—you’ll love LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN. A sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic story that will hopefully make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.

As a writer, I believe in setting up a story, making you fall in love and connect with the characters. I want you to know why they are who they are, so you can feel their pain and their triumphs.

Readers who enjoy Nicholas Sparks and Iris Johansen have commented that I touch on the same sensitive subjects and deep desires. In fact, my first novel, She Belongs to Me, hit bestseller status right alongside both of these great writers.

So to introduce you to my writing, the publisher is allowing me to discount my romantic-mystery, Land of the Noonday Sun, just a few days. If you enjoy, please make sure you tell your friends. After all, without readers, my writing is nothing but a journal, and we authors live to be “read”.

I love talking about all things books, so please connect with me via one of the links below.

Comments

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...

"I’ll show you things that will take your breath away" Excerpt from LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN

When two strangers have nothing left but their dreams, they must forge a relationship in Nantahala, North Carolina, a small town known as Land of the Noonday Sun . Excerpt: As soon as he set her on the ground, she heard the waterfall. She gazed at the pounding waters as they fell over the rock and hit the stream below. “Wow, this is … so beautiful and so close, right off the road, near our house … amazing. He smiled. “This is nothing, Cassie, hardly anyone even comes here. I’ll show you some waterfalls and trails over the next few weeks that will take your breath away.” Cassandra couldn’t contain her smile or the feelings rushing through her veins. He wanted to show her his state. It was beautiful she realized, and the thought of discovering it with him made it even more exciting. She was certain he was correct about taking her breath away, but she was also sure it wouldn’t ju st be the wa terfalls. Land of the Noonday Sun is Book Three of t...
