When he wakes and meets her, will his dreams change?
Committee of Angels
The article passed around the table on a hot August night. “Five to ten percent of the nation’s doctors are so impaired or incompetent they cannot or should not practice medicine.” The nurses at Bradley Memorial thought they had them all. That night they formed a group they called The Committee of Angels.
Nearly a year has passed and Laura Bancroft wonders why little has been done to change things. She also wonders about some of the nurses fitting the pattern. Laura has three doctors on her list of incompetents. She seldom meets with the other members and several of the others are upset with her. When her ex-husband joins the medical staff, she realizes she still has feelings for him. One of her list of doctors dies after emergency surgery and Laura finds her suspected since she was assigned to the doctor. She must deal with suspicions, her feelings for her ex. Then a second on her list commits suicide and speaks of blackmail.
Can Laura learn the truth of who is responsible before she faces arrest?
Seppal
In Seppal, the prophecy has been heard and the Three and Three are awaited.
Ranal’s dead mam once told him one day he would learn why he had been born. He has found two companions, boys like himself who have no home and become seaweed gatherers like he has been. His two friends are developing strange skill. He can see no change in himself but he desires a sword. Then they will be three, Seer, Healer and Warrior
Amera returns to the clan after spending the summer with the king windsteed stallion and six yearlings. What she finds is the slaughtered herd and also the clan. Only one person remains barely alive and tells her Bethera, her cousin and almost sister has been taken by the priestesses and their guards. Not knowing what to do, Amera follows the king stallion to a sheltered glen and a huge cave complex. When the stallion calls her, she follows him to the priestesses’ keep and manages to rescue her cousin and another young girl. During the next few years, her friends develop talents and are becoming the Seer and the Healer. Amera wants to become the warrior but she can’t imagine how she can gain a sword.
Now the Three and Three must join to bring justice, healing, order and change to Seppal.

A Bit About the Writing of Home Caring #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Home Caring #romance #medical
When I began Home Caring, I thought if was for a line I'd solda book to. Before I finished the book, the line was cancelled. I put the book aside and stowed the pieces in the file cabinet. When asked for a new nurse/doctor romance, I remembered the partial story. I opened the file cabinet and looked through the pges and pages of material. Finally, I pulled the ones that made the most sense and began to re-weave the story. Some of the changes i amde was lessening the age difference between the hero and heroine. She's still older but not that many years. I changed ehr ex's profession from hospital administrator into a surgeon and gave him a more selfish personality. I also allowed the heroine and her daughter to regain a balance in their relationship. The flavor of the book changed a bit and my Alpha hero became a man though he liked to rearrange other people's lives to do it in a caring way,

Thursday's Scene - Home Caring - The Hero #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #romance #medical #hero
The low, sultry voice wove through the fog induced by pain medication and touched a place deep inside Jeff Grayson. He struggled to open his eyes but felt as though the lids were weighted by coins. They used to do that but he wasn’t dead, just drugged. He stopped struggling and listened. The voice stroked and caressed like a healing balm applied to a burn.
“Dr. Grayson, can you hear me?”
“Jeff.” No way would he allow that voice to call him doctor. He opened his mouth. “Yes.”
“I’m Abby Reid from Home Caring. I understand you’ll soon be going home. Your doctor mentioned you will need nursing care.”
He nodded. At least he thought he had. The dose of Tylenol and Codeine had erased the little control he had over his battered body. Why should he fight the warmth stealing over his body? He would follow that smooth voice over a cliff and never protest.
“Dr. Grayson, do you know when you’ll be discharged?”
Why the formality? He had no desire for a professional relationship with her. He was Jeff. He had no reason to be a doctor today. A bark of laughter erupted. He had to answer the question. His scattered thoughts jelled. “Six days ago. No, tomorrow.”
“Are you capable of making decisions? If not, I’ll return later.”

Blurb:
Abby Reid feels she’s been playing whack-a-problem for months. Her ex is behind on child support payments. Her angry teenage daughter. Her new business, a home care agency. All these areas vie for her attention. She believes she has solved the last major problem with the agency by firing her clinical supervisor, but this adds to her chores. Hoping the new patient, a private pay one will boost her spirits and bring success, she agrees to work the weekend day shift rather than call another agency and find the case being stolen. Will the new patient provide a break in the negative events in her life?Doctor Jeff Grayson is the in-coming patient. He has been in town and working with his friend for a month. Jeff is a master of many things. At fifteen he started college and has degrees in English, Architecture and Computers. All this before medical school.

Excerpt:
The low, sultry voice wove through the fog-induced
by pain medication and touched a place deep inside Jeff Grayson. He struggled
to open his eyes but felt as though the lids were weighted by coins. They used
to do that but he wasn’t dead, just drugged. He stopped struggling and
listened. The voice stroked and caressed like a healing balm applied to a burn.
“Dr. Grayson, can you hear me?”
“Jeff.” No way would he allow that voice to call
him doctor. He opened his mouth. “Yes.”
“I’m Abby Reid from Home Caring. I understand
you’ll soon be going home. Your doctor mentioned you will need nursing care.”
He nodded. At least he thought he had. The dose of
Tylenol and Codeine had erased the little control he had over his battered
body. Why should he fight the warmth stealing over his body? He would follow
that smooth voice over a cliff and never protest.
“Dr. Grayson, do you know when you’ll be
discharged?”
Why the formality? He had no desire for a
professional relationship with her. He was Jeff. He had no reason to be a
doctor today. A bark of laughter erupted. He had to answer the question. His
scattered thoughts jelled. “Six days ago. No, tomorrow.”
“Are you capable of making decisions? If not, I’ll
return later.”
“Don’t go.” He gathered his fuzzy thoughts.
Decisions were his forte. He cared for patients and always knew which tests
should be ordered. He grinned. “Try me.”
“I will.”
Jeff moistened his dry lips. The timbre of her
voice seemed like a delicious treat he wanted to taste. The husky sounds rolled
through his body making promises he wanted to believe.
“Dr. Grayson, I’ve questions but I don’t think
this is a good time.”
“It is.” He had to keep her here. Another thought
pierced the fog. His Harley. Probably scrap now.
Her voice pierced his wandering thoughts. Was the
sweet seduction part of a drug-induced fantasy? He heard questions he couldn’t
grasp.
“You can’t.”

The Escape Plot - Part 3 #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Writing #Tip #Escape
In the Escape Plot, the beginning tells of the imprisonment. The second is when the plans are laid for the escape. Then comes the act of escaping. It's kown that after the first move, matters do not always go according to plan. During the Escape, there should be times when re-thinking is necessary and changes made. The Escape must be successful or not. I not what happens to the escaping prisoner? There must be an answer built into the plans forescape. If the plan succeeds and the prisoner escapes, the reader mut believe in this escape.

Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #reading #writing #thoughts
Meander 1 - Reading - Just finished Joan Hall Homey's new book. The short stories are masterful examples of building tension.
Meander 2 - Thoughts - Lost Faith - This is not a spiritual loss but one of faith in an institution of this country - The Supreme Court. I find six out of the nine people on the court pay no attention to the people they serve but to their own selves. They ae corrupt, making money from the wealthy to further their aims. Ignoring what the majority of the people they should serve believe. I am not the only person to feel this way but six of them should resign or be impeached.
Meander 3 - Writing - moving slow with this since I've been under the weather.
