Every writer has a bookshelf. I have
several. Some are in my office. Some are in my second office.
Some are in another building where I have most of my older books stored safely.
If you look closely at the photos, you’ll see
a lot of unexpected titles. Many of them are on medical area because I
was a registered EMT, Emergency Medical Technician, in the state of Arizona from
1996-2000. And part of remaining current in that field, I was constantly
reading a lot of manuals on a lot of medical topics. I keep them all
because very frequently, I’ll put medical info into one of my books and I go
back to these books to double check my info before writing about it. Whenever I
write about anything medical, it comes from reliable and up-to-date sources
because I never want to “fictionalize” medicine or emergency medicine to a
reader.
I have one shelf
of nothing but English, another full of language dictionary’s. Wherever I
set a book, and if the primary or secondary character is from another country
other than English speaking ones, then I need the bilingual dictionary to help
me out.
Another shelf in
my bookcase has what I call “slang” books. Ever notice if you’ve driven
across the USA that different regions have different sayings? Not to
mention, how they speak a word? Any time I drive through a state, I break
at a truck stop and go through their paperback rack, looking for local sayings,
slang or other quaint stories.
About NIGHT HAWK:
After losing his
comrade, Sergeant Gil Hanford thought a visit to the man's widow would be the
decent way to honor his late friend. But Gil found more than comfort in Kai
Tiernan—he had always secretly desired beautiful Kai, but a sudden, mutual
passion helped assuage their grief…until duty reared its head, removing him
from her arms, seemingly forever.
Four years later,
Kai is starting over at the Triple H Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Born a
rancher, she is looking for a new beginning—but her new boss is unforgivably
familiar. Kai has tried to move past the memory of what happened between her
and Gil, even though she's never forgiven him for leaving her. But even as they
begin their journey toward something new and oh-so-uncertain, a shadow emerges,
determined to claim Kai for itself.
