Weather
After spending 20 years in Alaska, weather takes on a personality all its own and I tried to bring that into my stories. Here in the Midwest, where we are now, we find it all confusing. The rules have all changed and the moods of the systems are vastly different. I remember when we first…
Read MoreBook 2
For those who read Gordon’s Pride and immediately start asking questions, let me tell you this much…. Heron’s Bonds is about Heron finding his mate while Grabon’s territory begins to develop.

Read MoreThe sisters
Jamie and Janie are sisters and characters that the reader comes to know slightly in book 1. But I promise they reveal more of themselves in future books and stories.
Read MoreFrozen
We experienced our first frost of the season last night. As things happen, we managed to get the air conditioners out of the windows last evening. It was interesting watching the birds peck at the frozen bird bath this morning, but the sun seems to have melted most of it already. This is such an…

In Gordon’s Pride, Hanna is one of the main characters, the female lead, so to speak. She is in difficult circumstance, traumatized and has been living under unimaginable stress for a long time.
