Dear Readers,

I now have 22 out-of-print backlist titles up on Kindle, Pubit and Smashwords as ebooks, priced at $.99-$3.99, with special boxed sets for even more savings. So if you never read my well-loved firefighter trilogy, my O'Neil series, my stand-alones or some older Harlequins, here's your chance: there are links beside each book. Or check out my Kindle store through Backlist eBooks!

I also have 6 new works up -- a series of novellas called The Educators about one of my favorite topics: teachers. Then, there are two full length, original books up, THE BETRAYAL, a romantic suspense that's selling like gangbusters and A PRICE WORTH PAYING, one of my favorite books. And I finally have a brand new firefighter book out. It’s called AMERICA’S BRAVEST and is a series of six novellas about more firefighters in the Hidden Cover fire department at the low price of $6.99.
