Welcome to Relz Reviewz - Your source for Christian fiction reviews and author interviews

I love to cook—and cooking scenes often work themselves into my novels. For example, in the bestselling first book of my Heroes of Quantico series, Against All Odds, the heroine cooks to relax. And she needs to relax after the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team shows up to protect her from a terrorist threat. She ends up making a fabulous dinner for the two operators assigned to protect her, and finishes the meal with these warm-from-the-oven cookies.

Hope you enjoy them as much as the hero, Coop, did!
