Thank-you to DD#2 for doing the official drawing.
Watch for my next contest July 1.
Welcome to my slice of life in B.C.’s wild and wet coast mountains. This ’running commentary’ is less about writing than it is a small window – often visual — into the life of a romance writer, on the run.
I hope to get to know my readers this way, and I hope you get to know me … just a little better.
From The Romance Reader:
“THE HEART OF A RENEGADE is a skillfully crafted novel, packed with complex characters involved in a well-used plot line; however, it is innovatively done. Loreth Anne White’s pacing is superb, maintaining ever mounting intensity as the story plays out. This story is rich with detail, and a plot that could be expanded to a 450 page hardcover. That said, it does not feel as if it were condensed but evolves in the expected manner only to twist and turn a bit adding interest and suspense. The dynamics between Jessica and Luke are extraordinarily well handled.
White is a very gifted author and whose future novels will be sought out by this reviewer.”
–Thea Davis
A TOP PICK from Romantic Times BOOKreview for THE HEART OF A RENEGADE
“Luke Stone is just like a stone. After his pregnant wife is murdered, he closes up emotionally, until his employer asks him to protect Jessica Chan, who’s a target of the Chinese Triad Dragons for attempting to expose their atrocities. Luke doesn’t want to be responsible for anyone, and he’s surprised to find a kindred spirit in Jessica. When they’re on the run with only each other to lean on, their emotional barriers crumble. The Heart of a Renegade (4.5) is an action ride full of thrills and surprises and a love story that will make your heart beat faster.
Loreth Anne White has expanded her Shadow Soldiers series, and intriguing and dynamic characters continue to make it compelling.

And a five-star review from CataRomance.com:
From the instance THE HEART OF A RENEGADE starts, one will take an indrawn breath and continue to gasp until the explosive ending. The danger is believably suspenseful with heart-pounding threats, and how they are carried out is terrifying realistic. Just when one thinks all is going smoothly for the hero and heroine, more peril crops up and they must once again fight for their lives.
Luke and Jessica are one of the most endearing couples about whom I have had the pleasure to read, and their compelling story profoundly touched me. Whether they are fleeing from the enemy or expressing exactly how they feel on a subject, their actions are authentic and make them seem very true-to-life. Ms. White had me caring for this couple and what the future holds for them, causing numerous tension-filled moments during the story. THE HEART OF A RENEGADE masterfully evokes images and feelings to create an enthralling plus emotional story which never disappoints.

Happy Birthday, Loreth! Have a lot of fun with your family and friends. I wish you happy and successful writing and many returns of this day.
BTW, I have another friend who has her birthday today. Her name is Cecilia and she comes from Ghana. It took her husband a long time to get immigration papers for Canada for her but she’s been here now for at least 16 or 17 years. They also have children now. The eldest and only girl is named Margo for my mother. They’re like another brother and sister and two more nephews and a niece in our family.
Congratulations, Peggy.

I just had a look at some of your pictures. One in the Reno section caught my eye after I figured out how to read who’s in the picture: the one of Suzanne Brockmann and Toni Anderson. It sure doesn’t look like Suz except maybe the hairdo. Maybe it’s her scrunching down to be at Toni’s level but her face really looks so different from when I’ve seen her and from her pictures. I gather that Toni is quite tiny.
I also had a look at “The Shadow Soldiers” and the rest of your bookshelf. I know I definitely don’t have the Oct. 05 book. All I did that month was get ready to move. But I do have 1 or both of the others–somewhere. Are “The Shadow Soldiers” coming out in SIM or where shall I look for them? I guess you’ll tell us more so don’t worry about answering this.
