Also put your hands together for Terry Odell, who has good news to share.

“She Trusts Everyone. He Trusts No One.” While Terry Odell waits for her editor to return the edits for IN DEEP TROUBLE, her second Triple-D Ranch romantic suspense, Kim Killion at the wonderful Killion Group has created a striking cover. You can see it and read a full blurb at http://terryodell.com/books/coming-soon/ And if you’d like to receive a digital ARC of the book, details for how to get one are here: http://terryodell.com/terrysplace 

Have a Happy Easter, Wonderful Passover, and Enjoy the first days of Spring!
