Holding On (Colorado High Country #6) —
The Colorado High Country series returns with Conrad and Kenzie's story.

A hero barely holding on…

Harrison Conrad returned to Scarlet Springs from Nepal, the sole survivor of a freak accident on Mt. Everest. Shattered and grieving for his friends, he vows never to climb again and retreats into a bottle of whiskey—until Kenzie Morgan shows up at his door with a tiny puppy asking for his help. He’s the last person in the world she should ask to foster this little furball. He’s barely capable of managing his own life right now, let alone caring for a helpless, adorable, fluffy puppy. But Conrad has always had a thing for Kenzie with her bright smile and sweet curves. One look into her pleading blue eyes, and he can’t say no.

The woman who won’t let him fall…

Kenzie Morgan’s life went to the dogs years ago. A successful search dog trainer and kennel owner, she gets her fill of adventure volunteering for the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. The only thing missing from her busy life is love. It’s not easy finding Mr. Right in a small mountain town, especially when she’s unwilling to date climbers. She long ago swore never again to fall for a guy who might one day leave her for a rock. When Conrad returns from a climbing trip haunted by the catastrophe that killed his best friend, Kenzie can see he’s hurting and wants to help. She just might have the perfect way to bring him back to the world of the living. But friendship quickly turns into something more—and now she’s risking her heart to heal his.

In ebook and soon in print!

Regrouping and Thanks!


This is a view of my car on the driver's side.

I just wanted to thank all of you who emailed and sent cards. This was a tough week, and your support and kindness helped both me and Ben get through it.

Looking at what's left of my car, it's very easy to see that it could have been worse. I'm very lucky to have a son graduating from high school next Saturday — a week from today! — and he's very lucky to have a whole, sound body. Now it just remains to us to deal with the paperwork and the medical bills.

Ben is feeling much better. His neck is still sore, and it hurts to raise his right arm. But his bruises are healing very quickly, as are the cuts and contusions.

So last Friday before the ER called to say they had my son, I was midway through the second-to-last scene in Untamed. (Oh, that's right! There's a book I'm writing! I keep forgetting... ) And that's where I'm headed now, once I've had enough coffee.

I must, must, must finish it this weekend, so send some writer mojo my way.

Still to come: I-Team trivia with prizes! And Investigative Reporter Boot Camp...

Glad Ben is doing so well! That picture is so scary.

Debbie H said...

Man, that is one scary picture! I am so glad Ben came away with minor injuries. He is a walking ad for seatbelts!

You know I always send you lots of writing vibes and mojo! Get it done, enjoy Ben's graduation and take a breather to rest those nerves.

Ronlyn said...

oh babe...that's horrifying.
Big hugs to both of you.

Hi, Tracy — You're right! It is hard to look at! Ben is doing very well, thanks. He's still sore and still has lots of scabs and bruises. But he looks better than he did a week ago, that's for sure! Thanks for the good wishes.

Hi, Christie — Thanks for the writing mojo. It must have worked! I finished the last chapter and now have edits and an epilogue. :-)

Hi, Cheryle — Thanks so much! He's also getting some big awards from his school this week. Thursday night is an awards ceremony, then on Saturday he graduates. And it's going to be extra special because we're all so grateful he's okay. And thanks for the mojo!

Hi, Liza — Thanks! Yes, it is scary. The first time I saw the car, I started shaking. I just couldn't think. I tried to reach inside to get a CD and could barely fit my shoulder. That made me think of how much it had crunched in on my son, and that just about made me sick.

Hi, Debbie — You're right! If he hadn't had that belt on... What's stupid is that I rarely wear mine. I've caught myself a couple of times since then not wearing it. So I'm all over that now. SEAT BELTS! And thanks. I will try to chill a bit when UNTAMED is out of my hair and Ben is out of high school. :-)

Hi, Ronlyn — Thanks for the insurance coaching and the support. I swear the Byzantine empire was less complicated than the average insurance company.

I am so sorry about the accident, but I'm so happy to hear that your son is fine, especially after seeing that photo.

Big hugs.

The poor car! :(
