I am buried in revisions for Tracking Tami, Book 3 in the After the Crash series. Tami is a modern woman who runs a wilderness survival school but is thrown into a future where women are treated in some places like possessions. She was married against her will and runs away. Tracker is a loner from the Clan who was hired to find her and bring her back. It’s a long hard chase for both of them. The woman that Tracker expected to be an easy job challenges him every mile of the way.

Tami woke with a silent gasp. The quiet murmur came out of the cold dark like a lover’s whisper.

Helpless was one thing she was not. Tracker wiped at the blood on his face with the back of his wrist.
There we go. 13 sentences from my WiP Tracking Tami. What are you writing or reading these days?
Maddy, I love the door in your header. Your blog is really pretty.
*Thanks! Ria Ritchey did it for me.*
Is it wrong to smile at the blood on his face, because it reads like she put it there? It is, isn’t it.
Happy T13,

The next book sounds AMAZING! The first two were wonderrful ! We’ve got a moms group here in Nashville that stay home with our toddlers, all 89 of us are anxiously awaiting Tracking Tami, and the whole line up of After the Crash books…….keep writing!
Thank you, Stephanie! This is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me about my writing. I did submit Tracking Tami to the publisher yesterday, so I hope to have news to share about that in a few weeks. Thanks again! You’ve made my day!
