Last Stand

2023

SEAL Cal Sinclair met Lieutenant Sky Lambert, an Army Black Hawk helicopter officer, at a forward operating base in the last days of the USA being in Afghanistan. Cal has never given his heart to any woman, but there is something so deep and moving about her that it breaks every rule he ever set for himself when it came to the opposite sex. When Sky is wounded, and Cal saves her life, she is sent on a medical plane to Germany for surgery….and he never sees her again. It's as if Sky has disappeared not only from his life but there is no trace of her anywhere in the world. Undaunted, he leaves the Navy and goes on a mission to find her…or else. Sky Lambert is a woman who carries many secrets and none of them are good. At the forward operating base, she meets and falls in love with Cal Sinclair. Fighting her desire to see him again, she knows she cannot drag anyone she loves into her nightmare existence. It's better to disappear and let Cal have a good life without her in it. Hiding in Peru, South America, Sky thinks no one will find her. Worse, another man, a Russian drug lord, is on her trail and wants her for his own. When Cal finds Sky, a war erupts when the Russian comes after them. Only one man will survive…

Collateral Damage

2023

Ex-SEAL Cal Sinclaire is going to marry Sky Lambert, and everything seems to be a dream come true for them until a shocking event occurs. Sky disappears on the day before her wedding. Anguished, Cal calls on his old SEAL team friends, together with a Master Chief at the SEAL units, to try to find Sky. No one has any idea who did it or why. They have no evidence to go on to locate her. She could be anywhere in the world, and his SEAL team dives into finding microscopic clues to her possible whereabouts. Come hell or high water, they will find her...or else. Sky's whole world implodes as she slowly regains consciousness and finds herself bound, gagged and blindfolded after being heavily drugged. She has no idea who has done this to her, where she is or where they are taking her. Her heart cries out for Cal, for all they've gone through over the years, and for finally being able to admit their binding love to one another. WHO has done this to her? All the years in Witness Protection, hiding at the ends of the Earth from a crazed Russian man who wanted her for his own, whether she wanted to be his or not. She was rid of him, killed earlier in the Peruvian jungle. Her dreams are destroyed, and Sky sees no way out—not realizing she is collateral damage.

I've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another. I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain. At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane. I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-). Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet. I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done. I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH). My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.
