Here’s the link to that site, just in case you haven’t been there in a while. Because of my fans (and MUD’s (*blushes—Mud) hard work!) the book did great, getting down below 140 overall at Amazon, getting to #1 and #2 in subcategories and to #7 or better (I forgot to look on release day) in Sci-Fi/ Fantasy. Squeeee! If you have missed all the hoopla, the blurb is below, but if you already have yours and loved it, please consider leaving a review, and clicking like on the good reviews you find. That helps more than you can know with analytics. Whatever those are…
JUNKYARD RIDERS: Shining Smith returns, taking on the “Dark Riders,” a paramilitary group motorcycle gang searching for Gov. political power, military connections, and alien tech. The Dark Riders are closing in on Shining’s secrets and, while she would rather nest in her new roadhouse, Shining must protect her own, once again taking the battle to the enemy.
Unfortunately, CAIT, the original AI on the junkyard’s crashed spaceship, has its own agenda buried in the ship’s code and choses this time to implement it. There is nothing Shining can do to stop it, except what she does best – plot an offensive, get her people in place, and hope Jolene can outsmart the virtual alter ego.
But the cataclysmic snowstorm crashing in with all the power and subtlety of Mateo in his WarBot suit could be the end of them all.

Me as a writer news:The website is getting an overhaul because it had major security issues and problems far beyond my ability to deal with. Mud conscripted RJ Blain, (yes, the RJ Blain) to help and she and JR ripped it apart and started over on it. Only one page is up but I am thrilled as I can be at it! Check it out, but know it is a work in progress. Also, check out RJ’s work. I especially love her series: Magical Romantic Comedy (With a Body Count). Here is a link to my favorite book in the series. Personal news?As to the grief process, well it’s good stuff / hard stuff—the yin and yang of life, you know? I mostly finished cleaning out mama’s house. My brothers and I each took what we wanted of her personal possessions. She had already given away a lot of it to us, so we could enjoy it while she was alive. Which was really cool. On the 20th of this month, my brothers and I sold the house—to my middle brother. He and his wife are living there already, making it their home. I’m both happy and sad when I’m over there, but life changes and moves on.The weather? Oy. ‘Nuff said. LOL! Love you all,
Mud’s Corner.
I am freezing. And I am really getting to HATE tech. First, I made a podiatry appointment 6 months ago. Text came up to confirm appointment. I hit the wrong number, no redo, and someone snapped it up. So, either wait 6 more months, or try someone I’ve never heard of before. I can’t wait. Then, I had another appointment I set on the computer. Get to office, and no sign of said appointment. They were able to get me in, because golly, gee…my appointment slot hadn’t been filled. AND THEN I discovered the nightmare of Faith’s website. Granted, I’ve wanted to revamp it for a long time, but there was corruption, and lack of connections, and a HUGE mess. I was chatting with RJ, we have a lot of similiar interests (she just got some antique apothecaries) and I had a meltdown. I am so glad she is both Faith and my friend. She fixed a lot of it, now I have to figure out the rest. Give a minute. Or give me a holler, I always need help.
