Hi friends and fam, I hope all is going well for you. Today we are yet discussing Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. We’ve already covered that in this book you get to meet three women and beautiful buff Beau, our main characters – The Cohorts.We discussed you meeting a self-serving, greedy, and far-reaching young man too. Well, what I didn’t tell you is that you also get to meet adifferentman, one who loves unconditionally. Actually –come to think of it—you get to meet |

Hi friends and fam, Today I want to discuss Progression – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. I want to let you in on a little secret. I didn’t intend to write this book, a sequel. I simply wound up jotting down tons of things while writing a different book. Then readers kept asking what was going to happen, because of the way that Book I closed. So I went back to my notes. As I assembled them I saw that I had a ton of chapters. So I began the process. |

Hi friends and fam, Today I must address something. Two times now I’ve heard it. I know that’s not a lot, but twice people have said they felt that a book of mine began slowly. Granted, those opinions were from the young. Granted, they may not yet understand that thedestinationis important. You know, where the story ends. However, thejourney,getting to the destination is crucial too. That said; I want to explain something. When a reader chooses me—one of my books, I feel as though that person has made an alliance, entered a non-verbal contract with me. |

Hi friends and fam, Today I’d like to discuss some of what happens inAbsolution,The Cohort Trilogy-Book I. By now, through my blog, or having read my novel(s) you know who the characters are in the book – Beau and his three women friends, his cohorts. Therefore, I’d like to give you a brief rundown on some of what takes place with them in the book. Since I had, and yet have, friends similar to Beau our main character, I tried to make this trilogy as close to real life as possible. |

Hi friends and fam, Today, in keeping with our theme:The Cohort Trilogy-Book I, Absolution which will soon be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content I’d like to speak to you about our lead character. Well not about him exactly. I want to introduce Ronni to those of you who haven’t yet met her. This butter-yellow mouthy spirited woman happens to be Beau’s other roommate. Now I must tell you, with Ronni [RON-nee] you will either love her or hate her, there is no in between. |

Hello friends and fam, I wanted to let you know that Jessica Janna, my mom's books Seedling and Sowing are now available on Amazon Kindle! She's quite excited about it because to her this format is new -- it's electronic! Mom also admitted that like some of you she likes books to hold in her hands. So now you can make your choice. With Kindle both Seedling and Sowing are available for a ridiculously low price. So...maybe you might want to think about giving them as gifts this holiday season. |

A dedicated reader asked about my latest fiction. My answer: It's a great, semi-traditional romance calledTURNABOUTand it is available many places, includingAmazon. It is truly adult fiction in its purest form --as is most of my work. TURNABOUT showcases a woman who happens to be involved with a pop music producer while another man won't leave her alone. It is a love story that not only involves the main couple, but also family, friends, and foes. I wrote it like this because isn't that how relationships go anyway? |
