{Guest Post} Author Stacy Eaton

Thank you to Stacy for joining us today. Check out my review of her book, My Blood Runs Blue! Thank you for allowing me to be a guest on your blog today! For those who don’t know me or what I do, I am an author, but I am also a Police Officer by career. I love my job and love what I get to do. So let me ask this of you… When you think of a police officer what do you envision? Many people think of them as strong, honorable, warriors and some even call us heroes. We run into the face of horror when everyone is running away. We face off to the worst of mankind, the rapists, the child molesters and the murders. We help people when they are hurt and we listen to people when they want to talk. Some people say we show no fear. We get asked all the time, “weren’t you scared?” or “aren’t you ever afraid?” Of course we are afraid! … Read more »

Guest Post- Avery Flynn (Blog Tour)

Today, we are joined by the author of Up a Dry Creek, Avery Flynn. She is sharing her views on spitfire heroines. (my favorite kind!) Thank you so much Avery for taking the time to write this guest post. 🙂 Spitfires Are Us By Avery Flynn There are some book heroines who I love and admire. They’re strong and smart and more than a little intimidating. I’m talking about you Anita Blake, who is completely kick ass and I love but who would scare the crap out of me if we met in real life. Then, there are those heroines who I want to sit down with at the bar because I know I’m going to laugh, commiserate and snark the night away. This is where Bridget Jones and Sookie Stackhouse come into play. So when I was crafting Claire Layton, my heroine in Up a Dry Creek, I knew I wanted the second kind of heroine. Claire reminds me a lot of a friend I had in college who… Read more »

Even as her County Sheriff brother Hank and his team are still swarming the property looking for evidence, Claire receives a threatening call. It seems there’s a slight problem involving the dead young woman in the dumpster. She doesn’t have her phone and her flash drive with her.
