Hi friends,
First thing – you have one more day to grab Deadly Lockdown for 99c if you were excited about the deal, but forgot about it, like I often do:
And second, check out the awesome #1 best-seller tags when you click over to Amazon! Even Deadly Rescue got one, thanks to all of you!
Even better, we got a few great reviews like this one from Scott:
“Fantastic Read! Deadly Rescue was an exciting end to this series. The twists and suspense all built to a thrilling finale; the story being so hard to put down I read it in one day.
From strong character work to action to science, this series is easy to recommend. I can say the same for the authors’ other works as well. Well done!”
And this one from Lanfear – our awesome UK fan:
“A must read! This book has everything from action and adventure to love and loss and much more. Fast paced with a great story line that delves into every facet of what it is too be human from the very worst, to the very best. It has two great female leads who’ve grown in themselves as the series progressed, facing their past head on. This can be read as a stand alone but far better as part of the series.”
Keep them coming! You guys are awesome!

Ginger isn’t just a spice – Herbal Tip #2
If you like spicy, but not the long-lasting burn of cayenne, you might already enjoy the tingling flavor of ginger in recipes.
It also had two really awesome medicinal effects you might not know about:
- Anti-nausea: Going on a plane or boat ride? Know someone with morning sickness? Ginger is an excellent remedy for mild nausea, and it’s tasty too!
- Anti-inflammatory: Instead of reaching for the ibuprofen, try a cup of ginger tea instead. Studies on osteoarthritis show a reduction in pain and inflammation and you can even use it topically on the swollen joint.
How to use it:
- Ginger chews or crystallized ginger: These are sugary pieces of ginger candy that are easy to keep in a purse, which makes them great for nausea sufferers.
- Ginger capsules: To control your dose and try to replicate the amounts used in studies, these are readily available where herbal capsules are sold.
- Ginger tea: Fresh is always awesome. Grab some ginger root at the store, peel and chop, and then bring to a simmer before putting a lid on it and letting it steep. Yummy! You can also dip a cloth in warm ginger tea and use as a compress to wrap around painful joints. Or simply dunk the hurting finger or toe into a container of tea.
How about you? Do you use ginger medicinally and have a story to share?
I’d love to hear about it.

Misty’s Writing Update:
So my husband, an engineer and avid sci-fi reader, is my best sounding board as I’m designing a story and hammering out the plot.
I had rewritten the first two chapters of this new book multiple times and finally had him give it a read through . . .
. . . and he said I should just cut off the first half of chapter 1 because I’d packed too much info into the start and made it a slow read.
Sure enough, when I looked at it again, I realized that during the rewriting, I’d kept shoving more and more information about the world and the characters into every paragraph . . . over and over again until it was bursting with information and not enough of the fun action. LOL.
So, lesson for me: stick to one draft and one rewrite and then move on. Or force myself to chop out some stuff as I edit instead of keep stuffing more in. 😀
Enjoy reading this week and I’d love to hear what you think about Deadly Rescue if you have a chance to read it!
— Misty 🙂
