Well. I actually forgot what day it was. It has been chaos, like always around here. Schedule changes, that kind of thing. And…well…

A rogue white rabbit seems to have taken up residency under our front porch. White rabbits hopping around free in southern Indiana…uh…No. Just doesn’t happen.

So I am trying to catch the white rabbit that we have named Van Illa VonTurd. (The VonTurd was because he’s a feisty rabbit and VonTurd is a nice version of what I really wanted to name him.) He’s living under the porch, but will spend a lot of his day under our RV. Except, a truck went by today and sent him running back under our porch. The porch is right next to where the dogs go outside. So that could be a real problem; we’re not letting Freyja and Jasper outside alone until we catch him. 

He waits until I walk away and then will hop around after me. He’s obviously a pet bunny (or possibly a livestock bunny, we do live in farm country). He’s not even afraid of dogs, that we can tell. (Or she…, we aren’t sure yet).

I was able to touch the bunny yesterday, before the little beast hopped away. 

We do live in the midst of a forest, and with the predators out here—yes, I am trying to capture the bunny. I can’t let him (or her) fend for himself. 

But as for today—

It’s release day for The Hillers of Barratt County Book 2. It is live everywhere—including Apple and Nook. (Book 1 The Risk finally went live last night, after the delay with Nook and Barnes and Noble.) It features the nurse Genny who made a few appearances in the Finley Creek and Small-Town Sheriffs series–and Dr. Chad Fields. Chad is the younger brother of Major Crimes detective Charlie Fields (who got his story in Never Chasing Charlie).

HE COULD JUST GO BACK TO WHERE HE CAME FROM!

She still does. Just in an entirely different way than she ever has before. Now he wants to show her that he’s the kind of man a passionate woman like her deserves. He is a man with a plan, and he’s ready to hunt his prey.

ER Nurse Genny Hiller has always kept Dr. Chad Fields at arm’s length, avoiding the jerk masquarading as her best friend’s older brother. He’s always looking at her like she’s a melodramatic screwup. She’s used to steering clear of his arrogant know-it-all presence, but now, Dr. Chad-wicked Fields seems to be around every corner.

Chad has always been protective of the Hiller sisters living next door to his parents. They were his closest friends’ younger sisters and good friends with his little sister, too, after all. But middle sister Genny has always gotten right under his skin.

But someone else wants Genny. And he will stop at nothing to get what he deserves…

Even going through the people standing in his way…

I am hard at work at getting book 3 The Chance up for preorder by early next week. It features obstetrician Guthrie Hiller—hottest catch at Barratt County Gen—and Dr. Aubrey Fisher, a woman with a lot of secrets and hurts. I’ll post release information for it very soon!

(And watch for some Christmas stories on the blog, as well. I just don’t have dates yet!)
