Amazon.com Widgets Amazon just sent me money for sharing book suggestions... Silly people ... don't they know I'd do that anyway? So, as always, I take the opportunity to meet new friends by enlisting my current friends to share the news about my FREE books, hoping of course, that you'll want to read more. Consider my free books as my gift to you, like a cup of coffee so we can get acquainted.

With social media, we can tell all of our closest friends something. I still don’t recommend talking about extremely personal situations. But hey, remember when you read ‘Flowers in the Attic’. Yikes! I do. I still have nightmares. I remember sitting around the school lunch table discussing our favorite books, a new band, and Rick Springfield from General Hospital. Am I showing my age yet? Even if you’re twenty years younger than I am, you still can identify with this, as social media really didn’t start hopping until the last ten years.

As the sun’s rays peeked above the horizon, lighting the abyss below her, she inhaled a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped. She didn’t scream; she didn’t look down. As much as she hated her life, she hoped it wouldn’t end this way. She’d really like to see him one more time. Her life didn’t flash before her eyes as she’d always heard. Just an image of her mother covered in blood and her Dark Angel telling her he was sorry. This Labor Day Weekend, a new romantic-suspense with a supernatural edge is coming! Read on for a chance to win a $10 gift card and to be one of the first to read. No matter what our mothers told us, we do judge a book by its cover. So… I’m going to ask you to judge my new cover. Now the thing about a cover is that you don’t always have to like it, and it doesn’t always have to make sense. What’s important is that you are intrigued and want to know more. Thankfully, since most of my books are on Amazon, you usually see the book accomp...
