If you're born in the south, or at least in Texas, there's a good chance you refer to any can of soda as a coke. If we're at a restaurant and I tell Spreadsheet Guy to order me a coke, he knows I don't mean Coke. I hate straight-up Coke. When I say coke, it means Diet...
Today I looked up the date that I published Shades of Honor. I couldn't quite remember when it was, but I was still shocked that it's almost been two years. Two years! It felt like one, and it's just crazy that it's taking me so long to write the third anomaly novel....

I've been in the mood to read lately, but am at a total loss as to what book to pick up. I'm not sure what my mood is, and every new book online seems just like another. So I decided to read some of the novels that have been sitting on my Kindle for a while. I'm...
