In fact, after further thought, I realized that the romantic and interpersonal storylines interwoven throughout my thriller series is vital to making readers care about what happens to the characters and root for them along the way. Without the hopes, fears, and heartache associated with love, the characters wouldn’t be relatable. And if finding or saving love isn’t the ultimate prize, (be it a romantic love, love of friends and family, or love of self) then the outcome doesn’t seem to matter much.
So, on this Valentine’s Day, I’m going to continue working on my next thriller knowing that the bit of romance I sprinkle in along the way will make all the difference in the (happy) end.

Thank you, Wine Cellar Library, for the positive review of Catch the Girl: A Mercy Harbor Thriller Book Three!
 While I love eBooks (and admit that having a whole library of books on my iPad is a dream come true), there’s something special about holding a physical book in my hand. The soft, familiar touch of the pages under my fingertips conjures memories of childhood and a sense of comfort that can’t be duplicated with the cold, hard glass of any screen, no matter the size or resolution.
It’s just not the same experience to read while snuggling in bed, lounging by the pool, or sitting on a park bench without the requisite dog-eared paperback. I enjoy swapping books with friends, digging through used bookstore stacks, writing notes in the margins, and seeing a new book waiting on my bedside table. The old (and new) favorites that fill my bookcase help to make my house feel like a home. Of course, I know there are plenty of advantages to eBooks, which is why I own loads of them and enjoy reading one on my iPad most days, but I don’t want to ever lose the tangible joy that “real” books bring to this increasingly digital world.  Girls Who Lie: A Mercy Harbor Thriller, Book Four available today. Buy on Amazon or read free with Kindle Unlimited. WHO WILL BE THE NEXT GIRL TO DIE? The addictive Mercy Harbor Thriller series continues as a brutal killer stalks the women of Willow Bay. When an ambitious young reporter uncovers disturbing clues to the killer’s identity, she becomes the unwilling subject of her own deadly story. Detective Nessa Ainsley is determined to be the next chief of police in her small Florida town, but first she must track down the sadistic Willow Bay Stalker before he strikes again. And as she struggles to understand the motive behind the vicious crimes, another victim is found, revealing an ominous connection to the town’s inner circle. As detectives escalate the search for the killer, Eden Winthrop opens the Mercy Harbor shelter to two of the stalker’s traumatized victims. But when she discovers an unsettling connection between the shelter and the recent murders, Eden begins to piece together the horrifying truth behind the killer’s shocking past.
And when an ambitious young reporter goes missing, Eden finds herself once again on the trail of a serial killer who will stop at nothing to take his deadly revenge. The gripping fourth book in the Mercy Harbor Thriller Series will keep you up all night!
