Valentine Blitz Countdown - Day 8

 

A coincidence is God’s way of staying anonymous.

Buying the 1920s farmhouse south of Phoenix, where the rumors of John Dillinger’s gang hid out in the 30s, is supposed to be Grace Evanheart’s way of escaping an old romance. When she finds an ancient diary with a map under the bedroom’s floorboard, the rumors solidify into fact. She doesn’t know who to trust with the news; Micah Stevens, the handsome deputy and the great grandson of the original landowners with whom she’s attracted, or Jerry, the young historian who seems too intent on learning about her new home?

Micah seems convinced their paths cross exactly at the right time and in the right place for them to fall in love. Now he just has to convince Grace of the same thing before suspicions of his real motive have her running again.

Top Ten List:

1) I have an intense fear of flying, bad enough I need medication to even walk toward

2) I have an unreasonable fear of heights. I’m pretty sure this has an impact on my

3) I’m terribly claustrophobic. That might have something to do with my fear of

4) I’m a multiple-award winning fine artist specializing in portraits. I received a

drawing kit for Christmas when I was seven or eight years old, with a drawing pad, pencils,

one of those silly gum erasers, and an awesome book that had step-by-step examples. I drew

a little boy wearing a sombrero, and my mother used the side of a pencil and shaded it,

making it pop off the paper. I used this memory in one of my books.

5) This little known fact is one that my husband dislikes; I love bags—handbags, tote

bags, and messenger bags with sayings on them. I can’t pass by a display of bags without

Mike grabbing my elbow and hurrying me by them. The top shelf in my closet is solely for

bag and purse storage. I’m pathetic. It could be worse, I suppose. I might have the same

obsession for matching shoes with each bag.

6) I’m married to a retired cop, who’s brother was a cop/latent identification expert,

and who’s dad was a cop for 34 years, and now we have a son who’s in law enforcement. I’m

never at a loss for experts when writing.

7) I was a volunteer with our local police department for several years. I rode with

willing officers, went on calls with them. On occasion, I even helped in taking report

information and traffic control. They didn’t let me carry a gun, although I did design their

8) I write a little bit of myself into every story. In Changes of the Heart, poor Grace

deals with my clumsiness. Really! Once, I sprained my ankle so badly, the doctor told me

that it would’ve healed faster if I would’ve broken it. My foot turned black from my toes up

9) Changes of the Heart was a top 3 finalist in the 2014 Marilyn Brown Unpublished

Novel Contest. Marilyn and her husband have set up an endowment at Utah Valley

University to honor superior works of fiction written by literary artists.

10) I dislike coconut. I mean, really, sincerely, honestly dislike coconut.
