Garland Roses

Disgruntled at having been roped into chaperoning her three teenaged nieces to a Garland Rose concert, Kathy Meadows is not happy to be there. The only positive aspect in having been so manipulated by her siblings, was the fact that here at the concert, she wasn't being hounded by the parade of bachelors her matchmaking parents kept setting on her. Being the youngest and only unmarried daughter of ten kids, Kathy's parents are determined to change her single status into a married one, much to her dismayed angst.Happily ruminating on having successfully ditched two of her more persistent Romeo wannabes, from escorting her to the concert, Kathy looks up and is startled to find a pair of interested male eyes trained on her person. At first, she thought he must have been looking at someone else, for it was hard for her to believe that a man as sexy and handsome as he was could possibly be interested in her, not without some kind of incentive from her parents. However, before she could find out who he was, and why he was gazing at her, the man disappeared into the crowd around them.Kathy found herself wondering who the sexy. mystery man was, but not for long. All too soon, she discovers that her mysterious stranger is none other than the legendary and famous Joel Garland, Garland Roses' leader and lead-singer. With a sinking heart, Kathy realizes he is way out of her league, and that once the concert is over, she'd never see him again. But fate is to prove this prediction wrong, for little did she know how important Joel Garland and his friends would soon become to her life and wellbeing, as an unknown menace, who calls himself "The Doctor" stalks and threatens her very life…Joel and Kathy's romance is the first story, in an eight-book series which follows the lives and loves of the famous Garland Roses rock stars and their family and friends. A little bit about myself. I'm an author & artist, and my nickname both online and off is Chatty Kathy...with good reason. I love reading and writing, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and watching disaster movies with my husband. I'm not overly fond of parties, unless they are casual dinners or barbeques with close friends and family.I love animals both real and stuffed toy ones - much to my family and friends' amusement, for they love to tease me about my penchant for purchasing stuffed animals, especially ones that are damaged and earmarked for the trash bin, to add to my ever growing collection of teddy bears and other stuffed animals. I cannot stand those creepy little Easter Marshmallow candy Chick Peeps. The only things creepier than peeps - in my opinion, are spiders and snakes.Usually this is as much as people would like to know about me; however, I suspect you, my readers, would appreciate having a little bit more information than this about me…so here goes.Growing up, my best friend and I loved to play make believe and let's pretend games. Upon reflection, I believe that this is where my imagination first began to take root and grow. Oh the fun we had making up all sorts of pretend scenarios…from opening our own restaurant, with a menu of Oak Leaf Soup, Mud Pie Ala-mode, and Acorn and Pine Needle Pudding; to pretending to be secret agents and detectives like Nancy Drew or Charlie's Angels; to imagining a car's radio buttons being everything from food and beverage dispensers, to secret launch levers which would magically turn an ordinary car into a spaceship bound for outer space.As we grew up, our imaginary friends and pretend scenarios were replaced by boyfriends, parties, and teenaged fantasy. Then our teenaged dreams gave way to real life romances and experiences. After graduating from High School, I spent several semesters studying at a local community college, with no real desire to be there. Subsequently, the courses I took were eclectic and quite diverse. Ironically, it was only after I quit college, and took up various interests, such as Bible Study, Squ

Garland Roses IIAt long last here is the second book in the Garland Roses series! Garland Roses II takes up where the first story left off. Within the pages of this book you will be reunited with all your favorite characters from Garland Roses I, as you are introduced to new ones as this story unfolds. However I do need to add that Garland Roses II is much more action packed than the first book in this series was, not to mention that there are a lot of unexpected twists and turns within the pages that will take you completely by surprise! However just like the first book this one will also make you smile, laugh, tear up, and cause you to fall in love with most of the characters within its pages.While this story begins where Garland Roses I left off, it soon takes off on into its own unforgettable tale of romance and intrigue. Within the pages of this book Falcon's and Henrietta's romance continues with a lot of humorous and suspenseful ups and downs in it, right along with Annie Smith's rocky romance with a certain Shadow Creek Sheriff by the name of Andrew C. Blackner.Both romances revolve around the dangerous situation Annie becomes embroiled in when on the way home from Joel and Kathy Garland's wedding she becomes the key witness in the murder of a Washington State Trooper, which is linked to the deaths of several undercover FBI and DEA agents as well. Catapulted into a terrifying situation, Annie is forced into protective custody to keep her safe from a chillingly cold-blooded killer who is responsible for the deaths of a state trooper and several undercover agents.Nick Stone and the entire C.O.P.S. Investigation and Protection Agency are in charge of her protection and safety, and two bodyguards have been assigned to be her primary protectors. While Annie appreciates the fact that Henrietta Henderson is one of her bodyguards, she is not happy that Sheriff Andrew C. Blackner is the second bodyguard assigned to her protection.Not only is the sexy sheriff the one who gave her a hefty ticket and changed her flat tire on her way to Kathy and Joel's wedding, but she is extremely nervous to be around him because of the powerful feelings and sensations that he alone is able to generate within her. Not to mention she was unnerved by his uncanny ability to easily read and discern her every thought and feeling. His all too knowing and keen gazes flusters her to no end. Annie is running scared, but it's not because she's on a known killer's hit list... A little bit about myself.

Garland Roses IIIWhen Amanda Parks literally slammed into Adrian Russell on the backstairs of Shadow Creek Memorial Hospital, she'd slammed straight into his heart and life.Amanda can't believe who she ran into, for the rock star had unknowingly given her the strength and courage to carry on with her life after she'd survived a crash that had killed her family, critically injured her body, and left her life in ruins.She never imagined she'd ever actually get to meet him in person, or that he'd step in to help her when she opened her home to five orphaned children. But he did and altered the course of their lives forever… A little bit about myself. I'm an author & artist, and my nickname both online and off is Chatty Kathy...with good reason.
