Good morning my lovely readers!

I know all of you think I am slower than Christmas, and you’re right. I promised you book three in the Smoky Mountain Mist series before the end of 2017. Obviously, I didn’t make that deadline. Sometimes life calls and I chose to do something else instead of writing. For a while. A long while.

I am happy to announce that Dawn’s Gray Light went live on Amazon in Kindle form today. The paperback should be available by the end of next week.

Thanks so much to all of you for your patience and “friendly” reminders that you have been and are still waiting to read this book. I hope it lives up to your expectations.

And as I ALWAYS ask, please take time to leave reviews.

I recently received the rights back to my books. When I changed the covers, I lost all my reviews associated with the old published covers. So I’m starting from scratch, again. I love the new covers and am enjoying my partnership with the designer Rachel Rhule. She has an amazing talent for reading my mind and for cover design.

Many of you have asked what I'm writing now. I am working on the next series, Smoky Mountain Magic. I am excited to see where the characters take me!

Hope your day is blessed.

Happy Easter!

Below is the synopsis for Dawn's Gray Light

Had Dawn Ratliffe known the hot August morning would begin with such a bang she would have called in sick.

The high school English Literature teacher has family and friends whose lives often border on the intriguing and exciting. Her own life leans more towards the mundane and she prefers it that way.

Mark Randolph initiates a change in her perspective when he bursts into her life, in the literal sense, on the first day of the new school year at Beaumont High. Dawn views the marine as a chance-taker while she prefers to know the outcome before diving into any situation.

After years of avoiding romantic relationships, will she allow Mark to touch her heart? Or will giving her love to a soldier a second time bring recurring nightmares for the single mom; one who feels the needs of her seventeen-year-old daughter should come before a love life.

United States Marine Mark Randolph has been waiting a lifetime to meet the special woman God created just for him. When he encounters Dawn during a local military exercise, his heart tells him he has found his forever mate in this brave Amazon. He soon learns that convincing Dawn she should love him back will be the most difficult mission of his life.

From the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains, to the volatile streets of Yemen and back, Dawn wrestles with admitting her feelings for Mark while he battles to convince her of his love; and that he is the man God intends for her, today and always.
