Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
I recently finished the sixth book in a series collectively titled, 'Birds in Peril. Here is the series synopsis: Five women met, fell in love with and married men who aided the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Sheldon Humsler. Even though the events that disrupted their lives, did not necessarily involve Humsler, they certainly invoked the conviction that one day Humsler would find a way to enact his revenge. All of these women and the men they married are in some way closely connected to Humsler’s arch enemies, Benton Cromwell, T.J. Harvester, and Thad Hunt. Because of Humsler, Benton Cromwell’s life and livelihood have become so precarious he now lives as an invalid on borrowed time. However, his friends, T.J. Harvester and Thad Hunt, continue to grow in family, and in deed. Both are well-loved by many. T Humsler has an accomplice…someone closely connected to Hunt….but who could that possibly be? And then, even after Humsler meets his personal karma and all the mysteries appear solved, another villain emerges seeking revenge on the most innocent.
