It’s Halloween, the day when our thoughts turn to scary things. Ghosts. Goblins. Vampires. The IRS. I jest, of course. There’s no reason to fear the IRS – as long as you’re being honest on your tax returns, of course! One of the recurring issues that haunts Tara Holloway, the IRS criminal investigator who stars […]

It was tempting to make her boyfriend, Brett Ellington, perfect. But then he wouldn’t seem real. And, honestly, as I thought things through, I realized I had no […]

A cockroach! Eeeeek!!! In my debut novel, IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway and DEA Agent Christina Marquez set up a stakeout in a former crack house. Let’s just say the house isn’t exactly home sweet home. Between cockroaches and a noisy family racoons, the place is a little crowded. My favorite house I’ve ever lived […]

I’m going to be on a panel soon with screenwriter Bret McKinney who wrote the script for the movie “Music Within” and, naturally, I was curious. My hubby and I watched the movie last night and it was fantastic! The movie is based on the true story of a Viet Nam vet who suffered hearing loss […]

In Death, Taxes, and a Skinny No-Whip Latte, Special Agent Nick Pratt appears in a tiger-striped Speedo. Here’s some other guys in animal-print Speedos for your consideration: I totally fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that video!

It’s one of the first days in forever that we haven’t hit 100 degrees here in the Dallas area. Woo hoo! I’m working on the back patio today, though I have to say the woodpecker that’s decided to jackhammer my redbud tree is a bit of a distraction. He is cute, though. I have to […]

Diane KellyI enjoyed showing the good things about middle age with this new character. I'm so glad you enjoy Kerrin's reviews and site! I do, too.
Cheryl CalebroThank you for the sharing Kerrin! I really love reading her reviews and quite often add the books to my ever growing pile of books to read.
SuzanneWhat a lovely piece. I have loved Kerrin’s blog/reviews and have only ‘known’ her online for a short while, but she has been one of the only blog reviewers I check religiously. Your book sounds so much fun, and I’m glad the protagonist is closer to my age and not so young as they usually are . I will somehow see if I can read it in Australia. Thanks for the fab interview!! I love the pics from the catch up with Kerrin’s daughter. The landscape is beautiful.
