I've been the author missing in action

 Hi Everyone Sorry about not posting much, but 2020 has not been a kind year to most people as we know.  I do hope everyone's been kind to themselves and others during this holiday season.  As such, I just haven't felt like writing, and instead decided to learn something new like quilting.  What I was to realize is that quilting, at least for me, is not a relaxing hobby. However, I was able to do 2 full quilts during 2020, and I think I got better as I went along.  Also, we've had some health scares with my husband's mother and she's now moved into a nursing home care facility among all the lockdowns and virus outbreaks.  However, towards the end of 2020, my writing spark has started to come back. I had some tiny scenes come to me and I put those down very roughly. Another was a scene I had started with some of my characters from the first small story I wrote. Again, that was a very roughly written scene.  Like I said, the upside is the stories have started coming b

Happy Easter & New Book catchup

Hello everyone. I'm still pounding out the next book in the series where Adam, Jen and the gang go to West Point of all places! Yep, they hit the Hudson Valley in New York. They are there to help find the missing Navy Commander of the base. We have a connection to the area, so its been interesting telling this story from their point of views. Meanwhile, we hope you have a safe and happy Easter.  Love Tam (with help from her friend Jo Ann)

Life gets in the way with much sadness, but life, and joy, continue on...

Hi to the world out there. My partner and I had been working on getting Book 1 of Secret Service as cleaned up as we could. We thought we had it pretty cleaned up and asked a friend of my partner (Hi Jess!) to read it and get back to us to see what she thinks....still haven't heard back. However, to put this into perspective, my partner and her family suffered a HUGE loss to their family as a member had died earlier this year. As writing is more of a hobby of ours, and the cleaning up of the books felt like more of a job, we had to stop everything to do with this and get over such a huge loss. Its really thrown us for a loop as it was so unexpected. On to some happier news, I had thought the stories coming out of the Secret Service were done...and that's why we started to clean the books we had written up. However, Our fearless group, decided to continue on with their story and so.... Book 5 has started! Yep you've read it right...there's another book to go al

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi my devoted readers. Life gets in the way sometimes and here we are the end of December 2018! I'm still working on Adam's book as I've finished the 4 books in the series but am now going back through the first one to make it better as it was my first shot as a writer, so much to change in my opinion! Anyhow, I'm wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year!  Remember to Semper Fortis! (Remember to stay strong) Please stay safe and we'll see you in 2019!

Life’s Christmas Miracle By Tam Desire

Here's a short story for you... I hope you enjoy it. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I walk over and sit down on the couch grabbing my white wine on the way. I look up at the fire while I put my feet up on the coffee table, lean back and take a drink of my wine. I look around at the room which is lit by the firelight and the Christmas tree.   Not so long ago, this would have only been a dream, but thankfully today its one I can smile with accomplishment. I take another sip and think back to how it was when I was growing up as a daughter to a shift worker in a factory and most of the time there not being anything around for Christmas because Mom’s paycheck just didn’t stretch that far. We did have a tree, but it was the only one we’ve ever had and after so many years its looking more like Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree rather than a proper one.   Even on Christmas day, rather than exchange gifts, we’d sit around and wish each other a Merry
