51st state book cover

You know that feeling when your stomach drops, your heart races, and your inner voice screams, “No… no… NO!” Yeah… that was me… Sunday night. I’d spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday diving deep into The 51st State—crafting what I believed were some of my most gripping, heart-pounding spy intrigue scenes yet.

My cover featured a striking (okay, let’s be honest—half-naked) man, drenched in […]

Remembering My Mom

Sitting quietly with my thoughts today, I find myself drawn to memories of my mom. She lived with kidney dialysis for many years, a process that was demanding both physically and emotionally. Yet, true to her nature, she never wanted to burden anyone. She avoided asking for help, preferring to maintain her independence, and rarely […]
