Hello, Everyone Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. A lot has happened during the last post I made and this one. I won’t bore you with the details, but suffice to say my muse has taken a nose dive, and only now, 3 – 4 years later am I feeling the tentative tinglings of a new book working its way into my mind, determined to be told. (Even if it takes a year or two to get it down on paper so to speak).  I’m not ready to give up so easily. I was born with a creative mind, and I’m determined to do what I love best – create. After a drought of nearly 4 years, I have a long way to go. I’m being realistic, this may take a while. I hope you will all bear with me.  In the meantime, I shall begin reviewing books and writing about them here. I have read some great books over the years, so why not talk about them here. I will share the good and the great with all the many friends I have made over the years. Thanks for listening Jan Bowles

It’s release day for The Secret Agent’s Captive [Siren LoveEdge: Erotic Contemporary Romance, spanking, food play, HEA] When thirty-nine-year-old, best-selling author and former CIA agent, Mitchell Brenna, agrees to meet a colleague he hasn’t seen in years, his world is turned upside down. What should have been a happy reunion turns into a nightmare scenario, when he discovers his old CIA partner dying from a gunshot wound. Wrongly accused of his murder, and with the worst snowstorm to hit Washington State in a century, Mitch takes refuge in a remote cabin, hoping that somehow he can clear his name. After finding her long-term boyfriend in bed with her sister, twenty-seven-year-old journalist, Hannah Philips, heads toward her parents’ cabin in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, hoping to lick her wounds and figure out what she wants from life. What she doesn’t expect to find is her favorite author M K Brenna on the run from the police, and intent on holding her captive.  When two people from different worlds unavoidably collide, sparks fly as suspicion and sexual desire battle for supremacy.  Buy Link from Bookstrand

Quit your hollering. You know it’s me.” The old hound’s incessant barking cut right through Brett Sinclair as he fumbled to get his key in the lock after drinking far too much yet again. It didn’t help that Biff was now fourteen years old and almost totally deaf, meaning that he was easily spooked. Back in the day, every other dog in the neighborhood had feared his faithful companion, but now, in the twilight of his life, Biff’s bark was definitely worse than his bite. Feeling the worse for wear, Brett finally pushed open the sturdy oak door to the ranch house to be greeted by his best friend. Despite the advancing years, Biff still found enough energy to jump up at him, his ragged tongue basting his neck with an enthusiasm that demonstrated how pleased he was to see his master again.  “Yeah, yeah,…

The opulent boardroom located on the forty-first floor of the Metropolis Building gave wonderful panoramic views of uptown Manhattan. Although she was tempted to walk across to the impressive bank of floor to ceiling windows and admire the city that never sleeps, professionalism dictated that she remain in her seat. Feeling the pressure mounting, she shuffled and adjusted her position several times, releasing a nervous cough as she did so. After taking a sip of coffee and then placing her cup back on its saucer, she then crossed and uncrossed her ankles in an attempt to make herself more comfortable. Surely he had to make an entrance soon?
