Q & A with the Author:
.
What do you fear most?
Just that the world has gotten a bit
scary and I worry about my granddaughters. I worry about drugs, crime and
overall the mean tone of our world. I have hope that we’ll turn it around. We
need to.

What is your largest unfulfilled dream, and what are you doing to reach it?
I have many unfulfilled dreams. I’d
love to make either the USA Today or NYT bestseller list. I’m working with two
box sets that hopefully will do that. My other unfulfilled dream is to retire
from my regular job so I can focus on writing 24-7.

Say It Ain’t Snow!
Melissa Curry is desperately trying to save her family's ski resort. The drought has done everything it can to dry up their business. When she discovers the town council is planning a detour through the city that will likely chase the rest of the tourists away, Melissa jumps into action to save the day and the town.
Snippet:
From Say It Ain’t Snow
Melissa drove up the long driveway and
parked. She almost didn’t recognize the place. The guys had made a lot of
progress and soon they’d begin constructing the pavilion. Melissa could
envision twinkling white lights, glowing logs in the fire pit, and low music
coming out of the speakers. She was already planning the landscaping—lavender
and other drought tolerant plants in redwood planters and hanging baskets of
lantana would bring the color she was looking for. She took in a deep breath.
The smell of freshly cut redwood filled
her nostrils.
Melissa stood back for a moment
watching Trent as he operated the small back hoe. She quickly moved her
attention from Trent to the rest of the crew and watched for a moment while
they wrestled with some huge boulders. After a few minutes of watching them,
she resumed watching Trent. When he finally looked her way she flashed him a
smile and a wave at the same time. He cut the motor off of the small tractor
and soon made his way toward her, a huge smile stretching across his face.
“Trent, everything looks great. I can’t
believe my eyes.” She gently caressed his arm. She could feel him stiffen
slightly when she touched him.
“I’m glad you approve. I think it is
coming along great, too.”
Melissa motioned to the picnic table.
“Can we talk?”
Trent followed her over to the bench and
sat down. He wiped the sweat from his brow, brushing his hand on his jeans.
“What happened?”
“I did as you suggested. I tried to
persuade him I had some kind of negative evidence. But without actually handing
it over to him, he didn’t believe me for one second.”
Trent lightly rapped his fingers on the
redwood picnic table. He gazed off toward the road and then fixed his gaze on
her. “I have one more ace in the hole.”
Melissa’s eyes widened. “Oh?”
Trent scooted closer toward her. He leaned
in close. As Melissa listened to Trent,
her eyes widened as the details unfolded. She nodded every now and then
acknowledging what he said. When he finished,
she leaned back and stiffened her back straight, letting out a sigh. A sly
smile fixed on her mouth. “I see. This changes a lot.”
Trent lowered his
head. He brushed his hand through his hair. Melissa could see that it pained
him to tell her what he’d just divulged. She reached over and caressed his arm.
“I’ll be careful. He won’t know you said a thing,” she said, her face
softening.
Their eyes locked for
a moment and then Trent leaned in and kissed her. She closed her eyes and took
in the softness of his mouth. She leaned back and smiled. “That was nice. I wasn’t
expecting that.”
“I’ve wanted to do
that for a while,” Trent said softly.
Melissa widened her
smile. “Well…if I’d known how nice it was going to be, I would have encouraged
you to kiss me long before now,” she said, letting out a giggle.
