I've had only one mentor, and he doesn't like to be called a mentor. Thus, my advocate and 'big brother' is John Olson. Friends who've had great impact on my life and writing are Dineen Miller, my "twin", Sara Mills, my amazing 'shiny' friend, Robin Carrol, Cindy Woodsmall, MaryLu Tyndall, Shannon McNear.
Similar To:
My writing has said to be similar to Chuck Holton, Dee Henderson, and Clancy (not that I am nearly as good as these other writers, but my story content is similar).

Digitalis, Discarded Heroes #2 (2011)
Former MARSOC sniper, Colton "Cowboy" Neeley suffers debilitating flashbacks. He's grateful for his role as Nightshade's sniper, a position that affords him time to both recover and be with his little girl, but he struggles to understand why God won't heal him and his terrifying memories.
Piper Blum has a desperate secret that could be the catalyst to murder and possibly destroy her relationship with the enigmatic cowboy. But divulging her secrets could also have deadly consequences.
When the killers bring the war to Colton's front door, he's ready to end this once and for all. Nightshade is activated and propelled straight into the heart of the Holy Land for a snatch-and-grab. Will Cowboy yield his anger and accept God's mysterious ways? Can he forgive Piper for her deception?

About Ronie Kendig
I am a Christian, wife, mother, author, friend... I've lived in Texas since 1980. Right now, I'm writing Christian espionage thrillers and military suspense/thrillers. I completed my Bachelor's in Psychology from Liberty University. My life is spent mediating between my twins who have Asperger's tendencies and life in general. I also barricade my office door and spend hours tiptoeing around spies. Shh...don't tell. :-D

My debut spy thriller DEAD RECKONING released March 2010. My Discarded Heroes Series will launch July 2010 with the release of Book #1, NIGHTSHADE. Subsequent titles, Digitalis, Wolfsbane, and Firethorn, will follow one every six months. Thanks to my fabulous agent, Steve Laube who negotiated these sales!!!
