Hey friends,
I hope you had a fun 4th of July! I drove down to IA last weekend to hang out with this bumpkin.
We took her shopping…I love this one with her and her Pops. Now, finally, hubs has something to keep him busy in Walmart.
So THAT is my great reason for not writing sooner to thank you all for your sweet reviews of Light My Fire! It landed on the best-seller charts for 2 weeks thanks to you all. Wow!
Love this review from one of my readers—(Lollipops, you rock!)
Now, I’m going to let you in on a secret…I am a series binger. I find a series I like and then I read ALL the books in that series as if I’m the cookie-monster of books. I just love to dive into the world of a group of characters and hang out with them for a deliciously long time.
So, because that’s what I read, that’s what I write. Epic series with awesome friends. (yes, yes, I know they’re in my head, but…)
When I conceived The Summer of the Burning Sky, the summer novella series, I thought—let’s make these thrilling, romantic and compelling. I wanted something that readers could dive into, get swept up in and devour…and I didn’t want them to wait too long for the next installment. (Because I HAAATE waiting!)
So…for all of you who are waiting to know what is going to happen to Rio and WHY you should fall in love with him, I have good news…
Book #2 in the Summer of the Burning Sky series, The Heat is On releases in 9 days.
9. Days.
FBI Agent Rio Parker is tired of playing the bad guy, even if it is for a good reason. Undercover with a group of prisoners to babysit a federal informant, he can’t believe he’s been enlisted to fight a forest fire…or sucked into a prison break. Worse—a female smokejumper has been kidnapped. Now, he’ll have to protect her from a rapist, keep his informant from escaping, and stay out of the gunsights of the US Marshal hot on his trail.
Smokejumper Skye Doyle knew trouble was brewing when the group of prisoners joined the firefight. She never expected, however, to be kidnapped during their breakout. But can she trust a hardened felon to keep her safe? Except, Rio is not who he seems, and when his identity is uncovered, she must decide if she can trust a man who has been lying to her…
But staying alive on the run isn’t their only problem, they’ll have to learn to trust each other if they hope to survive in book 2 of the Summer of the Burning Sky.
Whatchytalkinabout, Maymay? The first book came out 2 weeks ago!
(I know, Bubs, but Maymay has these friends, see, both real and imaginary, who want to know who lives and who dies…)

Meanwhile, today I’m sitting on my porch. Proofing this:
