Okay, just to prove that authors DO read rotten Amazon reviews, here are my three favorites for MIXED BLOOD in 2009:

rogersmithbooks.com J. STORM: “It was like sitting through jury duty, waiting for your name to be called, all the while pretending to glance through the subpar magazine selections in the waiting room. (Not a lot of love in that waiting room . . .) SALLY ATMAN: “I barely made it through this book; I dreaded what I was going to find on the page every time I picked it up.” (Bits of yesterday’s breakfast burrito, perhaps?)… Continue

Their First Meeting

THE COWBOY WAY...just released! Lacey probably would have stood there for as long as it took if it hadn’t been for the man walking out of the cattle barn a short distance away.
