She resides on Florida’s gorgeous Gulf coast with her indulgent husband, two cheerful dogs, and an affectionate-to-the-point-of-madness cat.

THE WRITE MAN  Kid lit author Merry Sunjoy and sports columnist Nick Brubaker fall hard and fast for each other when they meet on the beach of Barefoot Bay. But Nick has a secret: He writes kid lit under the pen name Scurvy Rickets, and he is Merry’s online nemesis. As their romance heats up, so does their social feuding, and when Merry learns the truth about Nick in the worst possible way, their relationship crashes and burns. It will take deft writing on Nick’s part to convince Merry that he’s worthy of her love and trust, and that while he may be The Write Man, he is also, and will always be, the right man for her.

Amazon Reviewers are saying this about THE WRITE MAN:
“This story grabbed me and touched all of my emotions.”
“Filled with humor and heart-string tugs, I gobbled this one up.”
“. . . heart-fluttering romance, breathtaking beach scenes, drama, and plot twists . . . a delightful story with a happy ending.”

Review:
From Gizelle Iworth of The Adventures of Giz (http://theadventuresofgiz.wordpress.com) on Goodreads (5/5 stars)
“I am a major fan of a good post apocalypse story and this definitely hit all the right spots, with ruined cities, dust and lots of action.

I love a good post-apocalypse book, and Beg For Mercy is a well written, underappreciated book. The cover, the title and even the genre are slightly misleading. This book is much more of a post-apocalypse adventure, where the powers that run the new world are unpredictable and unstable. My expectations going into the book were very different form the outcome. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Most of the characters we meet are interesting, and the world that Jami Grey created is dirty, ruined but so perfect that I felt like I was living in it.
The ending is gripping, exciting and you never really know what might happen. The book kept me intrigued throughout and the story never had a dull moment.

The Pandora Block
The race is on to find the cure for a bloody disease targeting women of color. But a hidden side-effect of the Black Sea Virus might kill us all. Time to call in the 21st Century Robin Hoods to locate, assemble and decode The Pandora Block.

Review – John Hegenberger takes readers on a globe-trotting ride that is part action/adventure, part spy thriller, and part theft caper. Meticulously researched, the book combines the best elements of Clive Cussler and Ian Fleming, with a dash of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton. A fascinating story.” — Baron R. Birtcher, award-winning author of Rain Dogs and South California Purples
