Connery yodelHello, ReaderFolk!

Duncan in the Backyard


We're bunkered in against the heat. While the east half of the country has a cool, wet summer, we're sweltering in the holy moly heat. Still, in late May Belle entered her first AKC FAST classes and qualified all three days to earn her title. Connery continues to close in on his MACH--a title that requires 20 perfect Double-Qs and 750 speed points. And Duncan, you can see, has learned to open the backyard gate and make himself at home.

The new office desk is here and assembled and wonderful! Oh, sure, things are still a mess in the background--still waiting for that final Sorting of the Files. Do you suppose chaos is my natural environment?

But the books wait for no one! The second Reckoners book roars full-speed ahead towards the last page, a complete and total Attack Book (such fun!). Jaguar Night and Wild Thing are still available, much to my delight. And Lion Heart is on the shelves. Meet Joe Ryan, all-American...um...mountain lion....

excerpt

Joe Ryan has a rep as an unproven bad seed, a cougar-shifter whom no one will work with. His former partner is dead and while everyone suspects his involvement, no one can prove either his guilt or his innocence. But ocelet-shifter Lyn Maines, deeply scarred by corruption in her family's past, is determined to do just that--even after she realizes her instant attraction to him.

Yet neither Joe nor Lyn realize how deeply the Atrum Core has affected the area by siphoning energy from the powerful San Francisco Peaks of Joe's home--and the only way to stop it is if Joe and Lyn can overcome their deep differences to not only love together, but to work together...

"Vivid imagery and magical circumstances make SENTINELS: LION HEART believable and profoundly emotional...SENTINELS: LION HEART weaves a touching romance into a story packed with hidden intrigue and an abundance of magical adventures."  --CataRomance
