Blog postWhat can I say? Between the technicians and the modern mail order brides, my brain needed a break, so I went back to the neighborhood and dug into my Love Thy Neighbor series.

He's not who she thinks he is, and all Ebenezer wants is to be left alone.
However, there is something about Mattie he just can't let go of. That, and her ability to drive him insane with her o2 weeks ago Read more -

Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef has lived all her days in the small town of Port Dundas and is now making her way toward retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a bad back and a dependence on painkillers, and feeling blindsided b3 months ago Read more -

“Hush up girl, it’s not time yet,” she said, looking down as if she were talking to her feet.

Blog postI figured after such a dark story with Tempest in Book 4, I had to come back hard, strong and deep. Unfortunately, the healing Tempest needed couldn’t be addressed in a way that I felt wasn’t trite and contrived. Tying her story up with a bow didn’t seem right, so I didn’t do it. Tempest has a long road ahead, but she will get there.
This time around I wanted to take you on a different kind of journey. I’m also introducing you to a new kind of hero stuck in a 10 year olds body.

On a rainy night in Georgia, Ezekiel Neary lights a fire in the old hunting cabin in the mountains where he, his two brothers and father would come to get away from it. Healing from a gun shot wound, the post traumatic stress has left him less than fit for human company. Company was more than he bargained for when a naked pregnant woman in labor shows up on his doorstep.
The roads are washed out and Aisha Miller has no choice but to run from her captor or risk bringing her child into the world in a dark cabin. Praying, she runs wildly through the woods, ending on a washed out road. The only glimmer of hope is a blue mailbox, partially rusted, halfway sticking out under the sparse moonlight.
The lone cabin sits on a hill, with two large windows looking down on her as if to pity her circumstance. Half crawling, the contractions are one minute apart and she prays that the figure in the window will be a Godsend versus the nightmare she just escape.
Join me as we head to Georgia for a new twist in the happily ever after of Ezekiel and Aisha.
