GCC Tours TORCHED by April Henry

So, this week I'm touring April Henry, one of my girlfriends from the Girlfriend's Cyber Circuit, who is such a sweetheart. It wasn't until I read her bio that I got a little nervous. This is the first line of her bio: April Henry knows how to kill you in two dozen different ways. Yikes!! Kinda scary and kinda cool at the same time, right? It's always the quiet ones, isn't it? Like when I met Tess Gerritsen at a recent event, she was this tiny,...

GCC Tours Amanda Ashby

I'm super excited to tour one of the GCC writers, Amanda Ashby. I believe she's the only member of our group who "comes from the land down under, where women glow and men plunder." For those younger readers, that's actually some lyrics from a song by Men at Work. An eighties song. Wow, I'm dating myself. (What does plunder mean anyway? Is that an Australian term?) Amanda actually lives in New Zealand, which isn't really Australia, but it's close...
