Thanks for your prayers, offers of shelter and clean up help. We are OK, and were so much luckier than many here in SW FL. 
River water surged four feet into our garage at high tide, totaling our cars and damaging multiple stored boxes and furniture. My husband and I held our Pomeranians as we watched the swampy water climb step after step up to our front door.
Our plan was to shelter in the attic, where provisions were waiting. Four inches from breaching the house, the tide finally began receding! Now we are cleaning and counting our blessings. Here are before and after pics of the lanai.

There I was, on a layover at Newark Airport, when my critique partner, Lark Brennan texted me: “Did you know you won the HOLT?”
Holy cow! I’d submitted Incendiary Attraction on a whim, because the HOLT is a very prestigious and popular contest among publish authors. I’m simply gobsmacked and so, so thankful for this honor.
A powerhouse of ten writer friends each bound one of their novels into a collection called Dangerous Touch, and it’s available for free! Ten novels in one download.
If you’d like to try new-to-you authors, this is a risk-free invitation, and take it from me, these bestselling writers are riveting storytellers. Enjoy!
I just got word that Incendiary Attraction is a HOLT finalist! This is a very prestigious annual contest for published authors and I’m thrilled beyond belief. The winning romantic suspense will be announced in early June so make sure you’ve subscribed to my newsletter to hear the results first. And if you haven’t read Incendiary Attraction yet, enjoy this excerpt.
