Two days after the Tough Mudder event and I am still finding new cuts and bruises I hadn’t noticed before. Every cut and bruise was worth it. I am just going to say it… my partner in crime and I took on the mountain and GOSH DARNIT WE CONQUERED IT! We left some blood and pieces of flesh up there (eww.. that sounded gross) but in the end we came out victorious. I will be honest with you… the morning of the event I did not want to go. I felt nervous and sick, and wondered why on Earth I do this to myself every year. It’s hard, painful, and painfully hard. But I really like the fact that I can do it. There are obstacles that are so scary, but I do them anyway, and that is what makes it worth it. Knowing you can push yourself mentally and physically. I felt so alive. I better sign up now for next year for the non-refundable event while I am still feeling awesome about it. If I wait too long I am going to find my couch and Milano cookies to be a more satisfying activity.

A Remarkable Woman. An Unforgettable Love Story.

When Dinah Hudson leaves China in 1901, she hopes to leave behind dark memories of violence and sudden death, as well. Spending time with her sister in San Francisco will be just what she needs to help her forget China’s murderous Boxer Uprising. Dinah’s life in California takes an unexpected turn when renowned reformer Donaldina Cameron enlists her aid in rescuing young Chinese girls smuggled into the U.S. for slavery and prostitution. For Dinah, the venture soon becomes a passionate calling. But every calling comes with a price, and for Dinah Hudson that price may prove very high indeed. Because not everyone shares her zeal for freeing enslaved girls, especially not men that profit from human trafficking. Men that hide behind position and power. Faceless men that live in the shadows. Ruthless men that allow nothing and no one to get in their way. Truth is that every man in Dinah’s glittering but treacherous San Francisco world, whether a wealthy financier or a virile policeman or a brash entrepreneur with the face of a Greek god, is suspect. Dangerous. Even deadly. A determined woman must learn that when her heart gets in the way of her good sense she should ignore deceptive emotions and stay focused on the cause. It’s either that. Or die trying.

Evil doesn’t become extinct, it evolves. Our world is a violent place. Murder, terrorism, racism and social inequality, these are some of the forces that attempt to destroy our society while the State is forced to increase its response to these actions. Our own annihilation is barely held at bay by the belief that we’ve somehow evolved beyond our ancestors’ base desires. From this cesspool of emotions emerges a madman, intent on leading the world into anarchy. When his group of computer hackers infiltrate the Department of Defense network, they initiate a nuclear war that will irrevocably alter our world. Aeric Gaines and his roommate Tyler Nordgren survive the devastation of the war, only to find that the quaint, politically correct world where they’d been raised was a lie. All humans have basic needs such as food, water and shelter… and we haven’t forgotten how to fight for what we desire. A Path of Ashes is the first book in an exciting new series about life in post-apocalyptic America, a nation devoid of leadership, electricity and human rights. The world as we know it may have burned, but humanity found a way to survive and this is their story.
