​CANYON OF DECEIT by Award-winning, Bestselling Author, DiAnn Mills

This standalone novel, CANYON OF DECEIT, is a well-plotted romantic suspense. Could it be that this is DiAnn’s best suspense? Her novels grip me as I’m reading them, so that each of her stories feels like the best romantic suspense fiction ever. This is such an excellently researched and thrilling story.

When Threse Palmer, a wilderness survival expert, and Texas Ranger, Blane Gardner, work together to find a kidnapped child, sparks and hope fly! Each of the characters—good and bad—holds exacting presence on the pages. The scenes are vivid and realistic. All this made me turn pages quickly!

I’ve been given a free copy of CANYON OF DECEIT, so that I can offer an honest impression of DiAnn’s soon-to-be-published novel. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.  I am so impressed with the depth of each personality, rich description, and dangerous people and situations that the characters face—well, I couldn’t put the book down. All I can say is bravo.

​Yes, I highly recommend this novel and this author!

Uncertanty Yet Forward Motion

 Uncertainty can halt the bravest individual, cause them to stumble, and veer off the path. 

However, my need for change and a definite goal inspired me to take purposeful and exciting steps. This fresh blog is one of those goals.

My "WORD" for the year is 

INTENTIONAL

 Too many desires and goals have slipped through my fingers, yet await on the sidelines for my attention. My focus. 

So now, I've decided to be intentional about my choices

and the time I have to accomplish my dreams.

To arrive at my destinations with lightness of heart and joy spilling off my tongue! 

I know, this sounds like a New Year's Eve resolution. So be it. This first post marks my turning the page onto my new intentional path. I'm feeling exceptionally good. And I'm looking forward to the journey! 

I wish you the same thrill of the hunt to find your

INTENTIONAL JOY!
