I still love to inspire others as well, thus leading to my other new book, Soul Defenders: The Black Orchids, a completely rewritten version of my first book, Slaying the Shadows. Are you with me? So ... considering the different audiences, what does my work have in common: 1. Heart stopping action.2. Mystery and suspense.3. Good vs. Evil 4. Love and blossoming romance in the midst of crisis situations. 5. Characters that are forced beyond their comfort zones and challenged to face their fears and overcome. 6. A major "Who dunnit factor."7. Plenty of twists, turns, and subplots. So, maybe I'm not really confusing after all, just diverse! Please Note: Both I Kissed a Dog and Soul Defenders will have a variety of e-versions coming soon. Currently, Soul Defenders is available on the Kindle Platform and in trade paperback. I Kissed a Dog is exclusively on Amazon (trade paperback) until its official release date of October 20, 2012. You can also pre-order at Barnes and Noble.
