Ripped from the headlines
(posted 20 Apr 2009)

I’m working on a book right now that is set in the Gulf of Aden where Somali pirates rule the waters and everyone is in danger. I started this book almost a year ago when I finished up my first book in the Savage Seven series The Mercenary.

I wanted to write about a woman who decides to do something daring…but safe. She’s a doctor who is recently divorced with two teenaged kids and she decides to finally go away for the summer with Doctors Across Waters (a fictional Doctors without borders) and finds herself at the mercy of pirates.

Not the charming and charismatic Johnny Depp type pirate but a real cut-throat who has learned that the only way he’s going to make a living is by demanding money from others. I like the dichotomy of a heroine who wants to shake things up because she’s afraid to live now that all of her dreams have been broken and her finding out that changing her routine isn’t the solution she thought it would be.

What about you? Have you ever done anything you thought would be fun and found yourself in over your head?

I think child-rearing counts!!!

I have an autographed copy of BABY BUSINESS for one lucky winner who comments on this post today.

Happy reading!

Spring is here!
(posted 04 Mar 2009)

I know it’s not here in the North East or even in Tennessee but in Texas it is here. And in full bloom. I love Spring!

It might be because my birthday is in Spring or it could be that everything has always gotten so green in Spring. I’m not sure but this morning on the school run I was entranced by the beauty of the tulips that were blooming everywhere.

And the warm breezed that are coming later today are tempting me to move my computer outside.

My favorite part of Spring is a return to wearing skirts and the breezes. In a few weeks we’ll be off to Florida for Spring break and that will mean the scent of orange blossoms on the air.

What’s your favorite part of Spring?

Happy reading!
Kathy :)
