Today I was to say thanks to everyone who has served in the US Armed Forces. My father flew KC135 tankers for the Air Force in Viet Nam and remained in the military for many years after. I was always very proud to be part of a military family. That said, war is very tough […]

Nice to know!! So excited

Haha! Our terrier mix and shepherd mix are certainly selective, too. They hear "treat" without fail, but "down" or "no!" don't always register. Raggs is such a cute name!

I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
