Dear Readers and Friends,
Thanks for stopping in.

I'm hard at work these days on Speed Trap , but I'd like to take a moment to thank Lowell and Madelon for putting me up while I was doing research in their town. I'd also like to thank Sheriff Coover and Police Chief John Stone for allowing me to interview them about Kansas law enforcement.

You guys are great.

Books in Series
More and more I've been asked about how readers can find other books in the series I participate in. I've now added a list of all the titles and how they fall in the series I've written. Click on my Books to see them.

Cool things just keep happening for me. I've met so many wonderful people this spring around Kansas and in Oklahoma during the past month. That is certainly blessing enough, but I recently found out that my book, The Color of Courage has been translated into French as part of Harlequin's Collection Blanche. The title has been changed to Une surprenante rencontre. What a treat for me. I wonder if I'll get reader mail written in French?

Yes, 2008 is shaping up to be an interesting and busy year. The Color of Courage was released in March as a hardback large print edition by Thorndike Press. Military Daddy went on sale in April. It’s my second story inspired by the Mounted Color Guard at Fort Riley. A Matter of the Heart, book #4 in the “Homecoming Heroes” series will go on sale in October and A Military Match, also a mounted color guard story will be on sale in November.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. I’ve been asked to do a story for Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line. A Cloud of Suspicion will be book #4 in a new series called “Without A Trace.” The series starts in January 2009 with my book slated for release in April. After that, Speed Trap a romantic suspense story set in rural Kansas will be out in June 2009.

As always, I'm pleased when you share your comments about my books. Click on Contact link to e-mail me or you can reach me by regular mail at P.O. Box 16714 Wichita, KS. 67216

Sergeant Lindsey Mandel of the Fort Riley’s mounted color guard is struggling to accept her brother’s devastating injury as God’s will. Knowing that he will never ride again, the former soldier has donated his beloved horse, Dakota, to Lindsey’s unit. When Lindsey tells her brother that her unit has been invited to participate in the upcoming inaugural parade, she is delighted at his new determination to get out of the hospital in time to watch the parade in person. But when a freak riding accident leaves Lindsey with a broken arm and Dakota with a broken leg, her faith is tested once again. Veterinarian Brian Cutter has a plan that may save Dakota’s life, but that plan doesn’t include falling in love with a stubborn, determined, redheaded, career military woman.
