More About the Author

As an AF brat I lived in France and Newfoundland, both of which I loved, and at least half of the fifty states. As an AF officer, I served tours in Taiwan, Vietnam, the Pentagon, and the rest of the fifty states!

Now I'm having a blast putting all those adventures into my books.

5.0 out of 5 stars It drags you in and holds you there, September 30, 1997

This review is from: Duty and Dishonor (Paperback)

This book is like tangly things at the bottom of a pond. You look at the surface and see a nice little mystery with a dash of romance. Something you can set down when lunch hour is over, or it's time to go pick up the kids. Ha! Merline Lovelace will not let you come up for air. First she hooks you with the mystery--a 20-year-old skeleton is discovered in Vietnam. Suddenly, the heroine's distinguished Air Force career that seemed to be going nowhere but up has crashed and burned, because they're accusing her of the murder. And once Merline's got her hooks in you, she's not about to let go. I wanted to put this book down. I didn't want to like it, because as memories of the murdered man and of Vietnam re-surface, they are not comfortable. But I could not stop reading it. If that's not a compelling read, I don't know what is. It is satisfying from beginning to end. Wowie, zowie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific story. Terrific writing., October 25, 1997

This review is from: Duty and Dishonor (Paperback)

Merline Lovelace writes a fast paced exciting story. Duty And Dishonor gripped my interest on the first paragraph of the first page and it never lagged through to the last word on the last page. I couldn't put the book down until I finished. Her splendid flash backs continually enhanced the story. Nora Roberts said it perfectly "sizzles with excitement." Pat Gasko
