Paybacks —Now available for purchase!

Two women with a fiery past discover paybacks can be hell…and just as hot.

Colby Dennis’s first thought was to toss the invitation to her ten-year high school reunion into the garbage. After all, she spent most of her adult life trying to forget high school—more specifically, her tormentor Mackenzie Brandt. But then, maybe putting her old nemesis in her place is reason enough to show up. Unsuspecting Mackenzie has only one reason for attending the reunion: She wants to look into the eyes of the classmate responsible for getting her expelled weeks before her graduation…and apologize the best way she knows how. Revenge is most definitely not best served cold.

Winter Reading

I finally finished my short story and sent it in yesterday morning. I beat my deadline by a day. I suspect that I won't hear from my editor for another week so I'm going to get started on my winter reading list. I'm also going to have to chose my next project. I have lots of idea's for once, I just have to find the one that wants to be written the most.

Winter reading:

The Art of Detection –Lori King

Hunters Way – Geri Hill

Infinite Loop-Megan O’Brien

Fresh Tracks – Georgia Beers

Grave Silence –Rose Beecham

Pipeline -Brenda Adcock

Next- Michael Crichton

Lisey’s Story- Stephen King

Hannibal Rising-Thomas Harris



This is not a complete list. These books are all just sitting on shelf waiting for my attention. If you have an author or a particular book you’d like to recommend go ahead and shoot me an email.

Libraries to Go

All right folks. My short story deadline looms large, but I wanted to blog about a great feature many libraries are offering.

My commute ranges from 40 minutes to an hour depending on the weather (believe it or not Portlanders have a hard time driving in the rain). I keep this segment of my life from being a total waste of time by listening to podcasts or audiobooks. That’s where Libraries to Go comes in.

With a library card issued from a supported library, you can add your name to a waiting list to listen to all kinds of audiobooks for free. Many of the classics are available immediately. No late fees, no fumbling with CD’s and no last minute trips to the library.

Now, for the catches. You didn’t seriously believe there wouldn’t be any did you? Not all libraries are supported, you will have to download the Overdrive software, and many of the audiobooks can not be burned to CD or downloaded to an ipod. But if you are a gadget head like me, you carry your laptop and or your handheld with you most places anyway.

On a related note, I am amazed at the numbers of people that don't take advantage of the offerings of their public library. I am aware that not all libraries are created equal and funding dictates how many services each library offers. But here in Metro Oregon, our library offers most of the NY Times bestsallers in audiobook and print form almost immediately. Be prepared to wait for the more popular titles.
