An Author Update

2020 been a challenging year for everyone.  Besides all the other insanity going on in the world, severe storms and straight-line winds tore through the Midwest this week, and across our author’s 100-year-old farmhouse and ancient trees. Power was finally restored yesterday, along with the ability to enjoy such things as showers and toilet flushing! There’s a boatload of damage to clean up, but everyone is unharmed, thankfully.

Our author is also currently homeschooling two children,  (one with special needs) and working at a local college, which was also hit by the crazy weather. But she’s in the Midwest, where anything can and does happen when it comes to the weather. 

Goodbye, big beautiful trees! Thanks for not falling on the garden, chickens, cars, or people. On a cheerful note, there’s also a new addition to the family. Meet Stormy, the ninja kitty. He’s a silver tabby. Though we’re fond of black cats, gray ones are lovely too.

Life is full, but things are slowly getting done. How does our author do it? Maybe she’s Super…or just really tired!

Firefighter Shane Sumner has a secret. 
He’s not the brave, hometown hero everyone thinks he is. He’s fireproof, and possibly crazy, or telepathic. Now the dog is talking to him, along with the plants, threatening to upend his sham of a perfect life. Can he conceal his strange abilities or will they expose him for the freak he knows he is?

One hot mess deserves another…
Life isn’t easy for a fire shifter. Fiona and Aislinn’s powers keep them homeless and just might have burnt down the Denver safe house. The streets are full of Rogues and unsavory characters; their chances of survival look bleak. Prince Charming isn’t coming. Or is he? A handsome, flame-retardant stranger may be the answer to all their problems.
