I haz a release date :D

And I can see my editor cringing over my bad grammar from here LOL


After The Fire hits an unsuspecting world on Feb 17th 2012. Avaliable as both Print and Ebook.

Blurb:

Private Investigator, Freddie Flynn, wants nothing to do with the man who left her fifteen years ago, or the God he left her for. Especially if the reports of corruption within the high ranking levels of the company are true.

Finding missionary life unfulfilling, Jason Bryant returns to Headley Cross and takes a position in the same firm as Freddie. Wanting to make amends, he is halted by a file which states sheā€™s a traitor.

Thrown together on a case that could cost them everything, including their lives, can they see beyond their hurt and work together? Is all lost in the fire? Or will they find forgiveness in the still small voice of love.

Excerpt:
She paused. "Iā€™m sorry, Jason. I shouldnā€™t have said all that stuff, and I shouldnā€™t have been rude to you. I suppose you called the office and told the boss Iā€™m working the forbidden case?"

"Now why would I do that?" He looked at her over the coffee cup. His tone was abrupt, and she knew he was mad at her. 

"Because youā€™re the vice president, and Iā€™m defying orders."

Jason gave her a long hard look. "Yes I am, and yes you are. But no, I havenā€™t rung the office. I rang the boss before I left work. He knows youā€™re undercover on one of the cases, but I didnā€™t tell him which, because I didnā€™t know at the time."

"You canā€™t tell him." Fear knotted her stomach, and the tiny bit of sandwich sheā€™d eaten felt like a ten-pound rock. 

"Why not? Because he specifically said to leave the Rafferty case alone?"

"Partly. I canā€™t tell you. Iā€™m sorry. You have to trust that I have a very good reason."

Jason ate silently and finished his lunch, so deep in thought that Freddie could almost see the cogs turning in his mind. For the first time in her career, she had crossed the line and was dragging someone else down with her.

Phooey Kerflooey: Three Kids And A Puppy vs The Squirrel Of The Apocalypse by Kristen Joy Wilkes

Kristen says "Once upon a time, our family of three young boys welcomed a princess into our home. A furry princess, a princess who ended up weighing more than they did, was terrified of haybales and bags of chicken feed, and refused to drink out of anything but her own special mug. Our boys were charmed by their puppy princess and asked that I write a story based on her. It took me seven years, but finally I present to you  Phooey Kerflooey ! While our own boys delighted in Princess Leia Freyjaā€™s scaredy-cat antics and princess ways, the boys in the story take a bit longer to appreciate Phooeyā€™s gifts. However, I pray that you will enjoy their journey together as they battle the squirrel of the apocalypse and search for perfect peace amidst a storm of chaos. " And I loved this one. It's gone straight back into the TBR pile. A puppy will fix everything.  A boring new house?  Boring house + puppy = adventure!    An attacking squirrel?  Evil squirrel + puppy =...

At the discovery of his fellow missionaryā€™s long lost niece living among the Shawnee, Jeremiah is immediately smitten. But unless Ginny Red Fawn McLain joins Christā€™s foldā€”something she adamantly resistsā€”Jeremiah will have to choose between the woman he loves and the work God has called him to do.    G...
