When we look at the world nowadays, life seems out of control. People argue and demean the integrity of others, disregard the value of respect, and disown us if our opinions differ from theirs. With the continuous threat of COVID-19 and the controversies over political issues, protecting the values of home and family may get lost among the chaos. We get caught up in the uncertainties of truth in the news, slander on social media, and an overall disregard for authority. These traits may have been around for years, but maybe I’ve finally reached the age to take notice and…

Despite the virus threats, our family gathered for a fabulous Thanksgiving meal together. Of course, we all chipped in and prepared a dish. As with every holiday gathering, we overate and enjoyed every bite. After clearing the table, all the ladies sat and sorted through the Black Friday sales ads. We cut coupons, make our lists, mapped out our course, and headed home. Five o’clock in the morning would arrive early, but, hey, we’d make the doorbuster sales. By four o’clock I was up, dressed in our matching Christmas T-shirts and matching Christmas face masks, and sipping on my liquid…

In a world full of negativity, it is important to impart hope to others through intriguing stories that invoke positivity. Friendships are vital regardless of your profession, and writing doesn’t change the fact. Everyone needs supportive, kind, and encouraging friends. I recently read Angelia L White’s book Yes Sisters. The cover sums it up. Surrounding Yourself with Women Who Affirm, Encourage, and Challenge You. This goes for men, too, even though the book focuses on women. Angela says, “We need a friend who helps us become our best selves.” Take Yes Sisters a step further. As a writer, you have…

A few nights ago, I had a dream about a ship that resembled something one might see in a steampunk setting. One row of windows about the size of a shoebox stretched evenly across the length of the dark gray metal. The ship eased to a stop as it docked at an open field where a gentle breeze tossed flowers of every color and tall green grass, like wispy feathers. Everyone lined up at the exit waiting their turn to escape the dismal floating city. The Captain and his guards stood behind a table at the exit. Before anyone stepped…

The opening scene in Closer Than She Knows will draw you in like a magnet and keep you turning the page. The characters are well-rounded and realistic, and the plot is plausible.

He promises to come after her, but not until he destroys her family and close friends. Against her family’s wishes, Teagan will not carry a weapon for self-defense. Her friend, Max Kennedy, arrives on…

Acceptable Risk is an engaging, well-plotted romantic suspense novel.
