Free Fic Friday - Chapter 14 is up

Here's Chapter 14 of Code Name: WILLOW. You're about to find out what's really going on in the Big Easy, and it happens pretty quickly, so don't blink or you'll miss something important!

Chickasaw County Captive Cover

New book covers are always a crapshoot. At Harlequin, we don't have a lot of control over what goes on the cover, despite filling out fairly elaborate Art Fact Sheets.

But on this one, I think the artist did a pretty good job. Pay particular attention to the hairstyle on the hero--it has hints of "high and tight," which is appropriate, given that the hero is a retired Marine.

It's also my first "kid on the cover" cover. Hope it does well with the kid-loving readers.

But, as usual, there's something on the front that makes me scratch my head. I actually think the cobwebby attic in the background is way cool, but I really don't remember any such place appearing anywhere in my book.

Oh well.

The plot is picking up pace now. Enjoy!

Good grief, Bama

I'm getting too old to watch Alabama football, apparently.

It was somehow easier to deal with when they were losing all the time instead of winning. Is that crazy?

Content warning--Naughty Marguerite shows up in this one big time. Naughty Jack, too. If you're under 17, don't read this without parental permission.

Here you go.

FREE FIC FRIDAY - Chapter 11

Chapter 11 of Code Name: WILLOW is up. Whole lot happening in this chapter, so enjoy!

And by the way, if you haven't seen it yet, here's the cover of my January book.


It's my first book cover without a hot hero on it. Will it crash and burn? Or will people be intrigued by the bleak, rustic picture and on-the-nose title and want to read more?

New chapter of Code Name: WILLOW is up. I think it's chapter 10.

Sorry it's so late getting up—kitten adoption has intervened. I've got two 5-week old kittens I've had to deal with unexpectedly. Only one of them is eating solid food, so my morning was spent getting kitten formula all over me and a little bitty red tabby.
