All the Wrong Moves
by Merline Lovelace

USAF Lieutenant Samantha Spade and her team of techies spend their time testing the latest gizmos and gadgets for the military. The Ergonomic Exoskeletal Extension—more fondly known as EEEK—allows a person to slip inside a lightweight metal frame and have a robot's strength, speed and vision. But the enhanced vision doesn't help when Sam stumbles over two dead bodies on a 2 a.m. test run far out in the desert.

Later she learns from gruff, handsome Border Patrol agent Jeff "Mitch" Mitchell that one of the dead men is a former U.S. soldier-turned-arms dealer—and that his death may be part of an elaborate cover-up. Sam joins forces with Mitch to unravel the mystery, but when her high-tech lab is torched, she realizes that someone is turning up the heat. Too bad they underestimated Sam Spade's courage under fire...

Merline Lovelace's Bio

I come from a military family. Dad served in the European Theater in WWII and retired from the Air Force in 1961. Mom was a real trooper—she'd pack up kids, dogs, cats, turtles and parakeets and make every move a grand adventure.

After attending Ripon College, WI; Middlebury College, VT; and Princeton University, NJ, I joined the Air Force and met this dashing young captain my second day at my very first duty station. We were married in Taiwan and honeymooned in Hong Kong.

A year later, Al got orders to Vietnam and I immediately volunteered to go. He served at DaNang, I was in Saigon—NOT an experience I'd want to repeat, although it did give me great fodder for my book, DUTY AND DISHONOR.

Many great assignments followed: Eglin AFB, FL; Maxwell AFB, AL; Kirtland AFB, NM; Randolph AFB, TX. Serving my country was a wonderful experience, one I'd recommend to any young man or woman who loves adventure and being part of something important.

Now I've hung up my uniform for good and gone blond (yep, they really do have more fun). Al and I spend most of our time traveling or chasing little white balls around the fairways of Oklahoma—when I'm not glued to my keyboard, racing to meet a deadline, that is. Life is good!!!!!
