Sometimes adventure can be experienced by simply taking the time to enjoy a place, like fishing on a dock in southern Florida as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon. When I think of all the amazing and exciting places I’ve been and the things I’ve done, one of my fondest memories is still of this peaceful evening on a hot, humid night in Florida.   

I am pleased to introduce Sharon McGregor. Sharon is a Canadian author who has recently transplanted to the west coast. She has written humor, romance and mystery for magazines such as Sasee, Long and Short Romance, Great Mystery and Suspense Magazine and Horizon as well as stories for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

Blurb: Maddie Smart is at a crossroads. Her job and her relationship have both suddenly ended. On the advice of a friend she flies to a northern fishing lodge to recoup and plan her next move.

She finds herself running headlong into danger with no idea of who she can trust. Her feelings for Lodge owner Rupert are ...

I’ve always loved spicy food, which initiated my infatuation with Thailand. Its cuisine is not only spicy, but flavorful in a way that allows the palate to taste each element of a dish, from basil, kafir lime, galangal root, ginger to the coconut milk used as a base for curries.   So, when I found the chili section in a Thai market, I thought I had at last found paradise.

Welcome to this week’s Book Hooks blog hop where you can hop along and get six to eight sentence samples of various authors’ work. Here’s   a little teaser from my latest novel, Shrouded In Secrets .   Olivia eased the shirt over his head and dabbed at the scratches on his chest with a warm washcloth. Not until her fingers began tracing some of the deeper wounds, trying to determine if any debris still remained imbedded that might cause infection, did Cash acknowledge her close proximity.   He reached up, grabbed her hand, and brought it to his lips.   He kissed her palm so gently that Olivia could taste his pain. Tears filled her eyes and slid down her cheeks. She wasn’t sure why his agony touched her so deeply, but it did. “I’m sorry,” was all she could think of to say, knowing it wasn’t enough.   Blurb   The massacre of an unarmed South American village, destruction of one of the greatest manmade wonders of the world, and multiple museum th...

One of the best ways to learn about local culture is to visit an area’s market. If it’s a market serving primarily the residents of a community, wandering through the vendor wares allows visitors to get a glimpse at the local cuisine, dress, and interactions with each other and outsiders.   When visiting a new country, if given the opportunity to check out the market, don’t pass up the experience.

Welcome to this week’s Book Hooks blog hop. Here’s a little teaser from my dystopian adventure romance novel, Deadly Exodus (Desperate Dreams) , which is still available for your kindle from Amazon for just $0.99 . Enjoy! Ethan tried to shine his light in their eyes, but this time the wolves kept their eyes diverted and began circling the group.   “Huddle up, backs together,” Ethan whispered. The wolves paced slowly and methodically, moving in closer with each circuit around the group, spacing themselves so the potential meal was sandwiched between them. “Claire and Jared, stay focused on the animal closest to you no matter what you hear from us. Nyla and I will concentrate on this one. If we lose our focus on one, it will expose our flank. That’s probably their plan—one strikes and the other attacks from behind when everyone’s attention is diverted.” The moment the words were out, a wolf lunged at Claire, hitting her shoulder...   Blurb: Their lov...
