Nolan, yum... one of my favorite heroes. I just finished Show No Mercy and am about to start Take No Prisoners. Men in Uniform and spy types are some of my 'can't resist' hero types. Keep on writing them, and I'll keep reading them, LOL! Great story :) I’ve loved all your books. Nolan, yum… one of my favorite heroes.

Too cool. As to my other books, I think there are a couple of my books available on Amazon if you have a Kindle. Other than that, my prior publishers do not make books available in ebook format. The good news - the remainder of my Black Ops inc series will be available at the Simon and Schuster website in ebook format. Thanks again.

She taught me about verisimilitude, and when I went up to talk to her following her workshop, she sung Janis Ian's "Jesse" to me (it's mentioned in the dedication of HUMMINGBIRD). I selfishly wish she hadn't retired, but her backlist is amazing.
