    Courage makes ordinary people extraordinary. Courage need only be the wilingness to take a first step.

    Check out the Facebook Fan Page graphic my web designer made for me.

    I used my friend's photo to develop my heroine, U.S. WAVE Livvy Delacort. (Betty Faye was a WAVE stationed in Hawaii.) The swastika symbolizes the villains: Hitler's Nazi occult practitioners and spies.

    The battle is waging.

    Hooray! My agent, Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency, sold my paranormal suspense manuscript, EXPECT TROUBLE, to Oak Tree Press. In it, the U.S. government hires five psychics to locate Nazi spies on the East Coast during WWII. The novel will be released in 2014. With this sale, I have sold every manuscript written. How about that!
