GET MUCKY

Whadda you lookin’ at !!!

The POV from under the sink. Now you know all there is to know about my life ;). Brunswick opens the door himself. Today he found the trash relatively empty. He filled it. What can I say — I raised a junkyard cat. Now we have to buy those cupboard child lock things ….

Bet he could take photos, Bailey

Talking of which –>> that’s all you need to do to win my new CONTEST.

You are so good. To me a marathon is the old name for a snickers bar

That cat is smart. Mind you I have mice that could pull that stunt–even with the child locks

My dog wouldn’t fit in anything smaller than a full sized dustbin. Both are porkers right now!!

Your cat looks exactly like my cat. Only… I do believe that mine has a bigger belly. He eats his food, then turns and eats my other cat’s food.

I got Sultan today, I can’t wait to start reading it!!

‘Shuffling’ marathons is more like it, Suzanne

Thanks Warren — I take it you will be there?? I’m going to be slow on this one, training hasn’t quite been what I had anticiapted with various injuries. I’ll be happy with 5 hours. My goal is really to go the distance and let this serve as a long training run for the Honolulu in Decemeber.

MANHUNTER dishes up “Creepy chills” - 1st review is in!

After Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Gabe Caruso can’t save his fiancee from a sadistic serial killer, he has trouble dealing with the guilt. His only consolation is that he put the man in jail. Cutting himself off, Gabe takes a post in Black Arrow Falls, a small town in the Yukon. There, he meets tracker Silver Karvonen, a woman with secrets of her own. Both are stunned to feel the pull of attraction. Then the killer escapes, and Gabe knows that trouble is on the way. Loreth Anne White serves up some creepy chills in Manhunter (4), as a serial killer wages both psychological and physical warfare. This compelling tale, part of the Wild Country series, features two emotionally scarred people who discover that being together makes them stronger.

—Sandra Garcia-Myers

“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.

—Sandra Garcia-Myers

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.
