<p style="color: #515856; font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0;">It is MARCH! How can that be? It seems like it was just yesterday it was Christmas. As I get older the days, months, and years fly by at an alarming rate. There is an urgency in my soul that if I don't hurry to accomplish all my dreams I'll run out of time. </p>
<p style="color: #515856; font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0;">The good thing about March? It's St. Paddy's day AND my birthday! In Utah we celebrate the Saturday before or after, depending on where in the week it lands. Once in a while it lands on a Saturday, a cause for great celebration. This year would have been a Saturday St. Paddy's Day but leap year got in the way.<br /></p>

<p style="color: #515856; font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 165%; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0;">Can You See Me is a gripping, coming to age story that will haunt you. <br /><br />Ash’s life is in turmoil. Her mom walked out on her dad and dragged her to the small town, Shadow Mountain. They’re living with her strange grandma who thinks she’s a witch.<br /><br />Ash’s bitter anger over her parents’ impending divorce pushes her to the brink. It doesn’t help she’s the new kid at school and there are whispers throughout the town her grandma dances naked under the full moon. <br /><br />Things become even creepier at the ceremony celebrating the new high school built over the old one which burnt to the ground. Not all the bodies were recovered from the tragic night. Rumors and spirits still linger.<br /><br />Ash sees a girl in the dead of winter wearing an old-fashioned spring gown. “Can you see me?” the girl asks.<br /><br />Kimberly is suddenly back at her high school, but everything is different and the only person who can see her is Ash, a strange new girl. <br /><br />Ash and Kimberly uncover dark secrets and malicious souls, but can they overcome the shadows that threaten to destroy them?</p>

paused at the top of the stairs. It had been two years since she’d felt this

determination, she tackled the closest box. After three boxes, now marked for
charity, she understood she was still procrastinating on what she had come to
do. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">With
renewed purpose she surveyed the boxes until she found what she’d really been
looking for, her husband’s work belongings. Bold letters indicated the content.
WORK FILES. Would she find what she needed in this first box? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">She used
the scissors to cut the packing tape and gingerly lifted the flap. She quickly
realized the files were old and only records of completed cases. They were the
first to visit her father’s shredder. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">Tears
slipped as she fed the paper to the machine. Her husband’s life was reduced to
a container of shredded paper. He’d been on his way to the top. Though he
hadn’t talked much about the account he’d hoped to land that fateful day, she
had felt his anticipation almost as if it had been her own. His excitement had
told her it was something special. She sat back on her heels as she realized
something. He was keeping it a secret because he was going to surprise her with
whatever it was when he landed it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">Three
boxes later she found, POLICE FILES. Her stomach churned, she swallowed down
her trepidation. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Come on Marcie. Where is
that woman full of grit</i>? She could almost hear Jonas say the words. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">She used
the back of her hand to swipe at the dampness on her cheeks. Her hands trembled
so hard she was barely able to open the flaps. Once done, she realized she was
staring across the room at the wall. Unwilling to look inside, she closed her
eyes a moment. Lowering her head, she drew air into her lungs and held it
there. Her eyes slowly opened as she released her breath. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">Plastic.
It took a moment for her to understand what she was looking at. The bag with
all of her husband’s personal effects from the accident. She opened the bag and
carefully pulled out the items one by one. At the bottom were her daughter’s
hair clips and her favorite brush. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">Her
vision wavered as she turned her attention to the contents of the box. She
reached for Tori’s backpack. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Frozen</i>
characters in the background and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Olaf</i>
happily dancing in the forefront. Her throat clogged with the tears that wanted
to continue to fall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: times;">“Oh,
Tori you loved that snowman.” She swiped at her cheeks. “They have another one
out, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Frozen II</i>. We could have gone…”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Cayme
Foster returns home to deal with her mom's fatal illness and is faced with
memories and secrets<br /> she'd rather forget. Her old crush and his adorable
eight-year-old son will make it even more difficult to leave town again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Single
dad Rick Morrison had his shot at marriage and isn't willing to risk rejection
a second time. If only he wasn't compelled to rescue Cayme whenever he's around
her, making it hard to keep his distance.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He's
conflicted about helping Cayme save her home, but the truth rises with the
floodwaters, and they just might find love on the high ground after all.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Indecision crept into her eyes, tinged
with a touch of fear and sadness too.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">That protective feeling washed over
him. “Or how about this? How about we tell your brother the truth— that I
foolishly jumped in with both feet to rescue you from Peters by announcing our
engagement. And after discussing it over tonight, we realized this is a good
thing for both of us. It may have started out as a fake, but it’s real now.”</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

light of hope—of gratitude—gleamed in the depths of her blue eyes.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Stepping closer, he captured her
shoulders. She quivered under his touch. He wanted to wrap his arms around her
and shield her from every single worry in her world. He couldn’t do that, but
he could offer to bear some of her burdens. “Say yes, Cayme.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Buy

She drew in a deep breath as she realized she’d been paralyzed ever since.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was time to take control.</div><div><br /></div><div>With determination, she tackled the closest box. After three boxes, now marked for charity, she understood she was still procrastinating on what she had come to do.</div><div><br /></div><div>With renewed purpose she surveyed the boxes until she found what she’d really been looking for; her husband’s work belongings. Bold letters indicated the content. WORK FILES. Would she find what she needed in this first box?</div><div><br /></div><div>She used the scissors to cut the packing tape and gingerly lifted the flap. She quickly realized the files were old and only records of completed cases. They were the first to visit her father’s shredder.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tears slipped as she fed the paper to the machine. Her husband’s life was reduced to a container of shredded paper. He’d been on his way to the top. Though he hadn’t talked much about the account he’d hoped to land that fateful day, she had felt his anticipation almost as if it had been her own. His excitement had told her it was something special. She sat back on her heels as she realized something. He was keeping it a secret because he was going to surprise her with whatever it was when he landed it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Three boxes later she found, POLICE FILES. Her stomach churned, she swallowed down her trepidation. Come on Marcie. Where is that woman full of grit? She could almost hear Jonas say the words.</div><div><br /></div><div>She used the back of her hand to swipe at the dampness on her cheeks. Her hands trembled so hard she was barely able to open the flaps. Once done, she realized she was staring across the room at the wall. Unwilling to look inside, she closed her eyes a moment. Lowering her head, she drew air into her lungs and held it there. Her eyes slowly opened as she released her breath.</div><div><br /></div><div>Plastic. It took a moment for her to understand what she was looking at. The bag with all of her husband’s personal effects from the accident. She opened the bag and carefully pulled out the items one by one. At the bottom were her daughter’s hair clips and her favorite brush.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her vision wavered as she turned her attention to the contents of the box. She reached for Tori’s backpack. Frozen characters in the background and Olaf happily dancing in the forefront. Her throat clogged with the tears that wanted to continue to fall.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Oh, Tori you loved that snowman.” She swiped at her cheeks. “They have another one out, Frozen II. We could have gone…”</div><div><br /></div><div>Her words ended in a sob, she pulled the pack to her face and inhaled, hoping for a whiff of her daughter. </div><div><br /></div></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you need a little more details, check out the trailer:</span></p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FFIX8_Rqlcg" width="320" youtube-src-id="FFIX8_Rqlcg"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span><br /></span></span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pre-Order now.

And of course whenever I can on weekend's, writing retreats, or like our annual golf trip. Ronnie golf's I stay back at the camp ground and write/edit and watch the deer wander in.

It is completed and I'm my second round of edits. Thisis not a romantic suspense, so this is something new for me. I started out my publishing career as a published author with some small presses. And for a brief nanosecond I had an agent. Then I went to Indie author. I have loved the freedom and control. However, I have decided to pitch my new thriller to some agents and reach for the brass ring of NY publishing. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm nervous, excited, and did I say nervous? Once I'm through with the 2nd round of edits I have some beta readers ready to read through the manuscript and then I will do another round myself. </div><div><br /></div><div>While the beta readers are at work I will be writing my query letter and synopsis. And I HATE both. But it is a necessary evil. Wish me luck. I have already researched agents who like the thriller genre. I have it narrowed down to three. Again wish me luck. My goal is to be prepared to start submitting at the end of September.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will keep you posted on the progress. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLzhhCuffyZMaYnHZDjR4h5BNN3w4tWgPOAYkLpPpU193UyxqaYCOaPzsS5QZ_YSWu-2VUQuLOwBr6e8O-C7F0rY_nOdO8hu4niaGSfXORqv4NGb_V3RFEafttWaLuLio3OK0w/s322/eventpromo+small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="322" data-original-width="273" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLzhhCuffyZMaYnHZDjR4h5BNN3w4tWgPOAYkLpPpU193UyxqaYCOaPzsS5QZ_YSWu-2VUQuLOwBr6e8O-C7F0rY_nOdO8hu4niaGSfXORqv4NGb_V3RFEafttWaLuLio3OK0w/w169-h200/eventpromo+small.png" width="169" /></a></div><br />Other than that I've been doing a bit of promotion for my other books.

The two haven’t spoken for the past twenty-some-odd years, and they’d be happy if they never crossed paths again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But now Mel’s daughter and Teeny’s son have fallen in love—and announced their engagement.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Which means the two women must tolerate one another and play nice long enough to plan their children’s dream wedding. From the beginning, they clash. Melanie imagines a classy, elegant event, in keeping with tradition. Teeny’s vision is a bit more extravagant, and thanks to her habit of marrying well, she’s got the cash to plan the flashiest wedding of the season.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Complicating matters are the men in their lives: Tennyson is falling for the wrong guy, and Melanie is trying to hold on to a flailing marriage.
