What's New
To my Fans: I love receiving e-mail from fans and will reply to each and every one, but have run into a problem with some e-mail servers rejecting
my replies (mostly AOL). If you send me an e-mail and ask a question to which you want a response, please add my e-mail address to your accepted list or permitted list or whatever it is called on your e-mail server. Thanks. I don't want anyone ever to think I don't read and respond -- I do. But it is a real bummer to keep getting all those
replies I crafted back. So, Joyce? Green-eyed Angel? I tried to respond but my e-mail replies came back to me. I loved hearing from you and really would like to answer your questions. :)-- Monette

Blurb:
Calista Meyers is a world-famous, soon-to-be-ex-supermodel. After arriving for a fashion shoot in Cartagena, Colombia, she realizes her agent has misled her about the nature of her last modeling assignment.
Paramilitary leader Jaime Cruz paid her slimy agent a lot of money to get Callie to his part of the world. Cruz has threatened to kidnap and kill her younger brothers if she attempts to leave the country.
What’s a Marine brat to do? Callie calls on her childhood friend Keely Walsh-Maddox and Keely’s husband Ren, the owner of Security Specialists International, to help her.
SSI sends operative Risto Smith to rescue Callie. The former Marine has had a thing for the model ever since he’d first seen her picture on a magazine cover. But he knows he isn’t nearly good enough for a lady like her. She’s an assignment and can be nothing else.
Callie knows Risto is just the man for her and decides to use the close quarters of their escape from Colombia to convince the stubborn male. When Risto leaves her in Panama and disappears, Callie is upset but not defeated. But after two months passes with no word from Risto and with her enemy Cruz in the US and back on her trail, Callie once again turns to Risto for protection.
This time, it would be a cold day in hell before Callie allows Risto to turn his back on their love.

Stormy Weather Baby (PDF)
As a gift to all my current fans and to those who might become a fan in the future, I have written a short novella (around 26,000 words) entitled Stormy Weather Baby. The novella takes place between Book 1, Eye of the Storm (currently available), and Book 2, Cold Day in Hell (to be published in early 2012). Here's
a short blurb:
Keely Walsh-Maddox is eight months pregnant and feeling boxed in by Ren's over-protectiveness. So, when Price Teague's doctor sister, Fiona, calls and says she is in Idaho and needs a ride, Keely takes the opportunity to escape her velvet cage and drive to Grangeville to pick up the woman. She never expected to place her unborn child in danger, but that is exactly what happens when the women find themselves being pursued by mercenaries. Normally, bad guys following her home wouldn't faze Keely, she'd just turn the tables and shoot them. But this time, she is in early labor and doesn't want to mess with them. At least, she has a doctor riding shot gun.
I hope you enjoy the novella.
I want to thank Cherise, Holly, Ezra, and Tracey for reading, critiquing, and pointing out errors. This was totally self-edited, so I apologize in advance for any typos and will upload corrected versions as I find mistakes. The initial download format is PDF, since most people have access to the free Adobe Reader. Once the holidays are over, I will attempt to format a version for Nook and one for Kindle. I am not a tech type, so be patient with me. -- Monette, December 24, 2011

The Deadly Séance: A Gooden and Knight Mystery: Case File #2
Abigail Gooden's Uncle Vidal is in love. His soon-to-be bride, Ariana Huntingdon, has asked him to perform a séance. Its purpose is twofold: to obtain Ari’s deceased husband’s blessing for the nuptials and to get his advice about some much needed tough love for their three adult children. Before Vidal can perform the séance, Ari dies in his arms--and it's definitely murder.
One of the five people in the room did it. Was it one of the spoiled children whose allowances were to be cut off? Was it Ari’s long-suffering, poor-relation secretary, Rose Connors? Or was it the butler, Simmons?
Abbie and Luc barely begin to investigate Ari’s death before another murder occurs. With ties connecting the current deaths to two previous ones and danger from Abbie’s past stalking them, it will take all their smarts plus help from their friends and a whole lot of magic to figure out whodunit before the killer strikes again.
