On Vacations and New Releases

I hope you are enjoying the pleasures of summer as much as I am. We have just return from our annual pilgrimage north of the Mason-Dixon line. Let me tell you- when you leave ten days straight of near 100 degree temperatures and arrive in 65 degrees and rainy it is quite the shock to the system. I actually had to go and buy some pants and sweatshirts for the kids while we were away.

It was a great trip though, spending time with long distance family, visiting all of our favorite places and sneaking off to indulge in some farm fresh ice cream.

While we were away, my very first serial novel, Tormented was released. Former special forces turned rancher Ben Callahan finally meets a woman that helps him put his demons to rest.  Meet Ben and Layla on Amazon today. (Free with Kindle Unlimited) Their story won't disappoint- there is mystery, action, humor and of course, romance!

As long as I am showing off covers, one of my older works recently received a facelift and I really love it. If you enjoy a good crime story (no romance in this one!) then you might enjoy this bank heist crime story.  Also found on Amazon and free with KU

Four Lucy Fight Club

 

 

One last thing... for those of you that read and enjoyed Witness Protection...the sequel, Homeland Security, is set to be released at the beginning of August! More to come on that. Have a great day!

Curled Up With a Book

It's unusually cold here today in the south. I had an unexpected day off from work as both of my boys are sick. The temperature has consistently dropped and it actually feels like snow in our neck of the woods- not a common occurrence but it does happen.

I used the unexpected day to get caught up on some work related to my upcoming releases and somewhere in the middle of it all, I fell asleep on the sofa. With one sick child curled up in bed playing on his Kindle and another sitting at the table working on an assignment his science teacher emailed to me, the house was quiet and invited a nap.

The cold weather just sucks the life out of me!

At least winter is a great time to get a little reading done. There are so many books being released this month from Breathless Press that I can't help but get excited.

Two books from the same line as mine, the covert line that are being released in print this month have my Witness Protection in good company.

Released last week was Jinn and Toxic by Frannie Armstrong. This is next up on my to be read list.

'Toxic Tango Troop' is an elite team of soldiers tasked with halting the illegal shipment of drugs from Mexico. For a team that doesn't officially exist, someone across the border knows their every move. They were betrayed by one of their own and captured by the very people they were sent to terminate.
Jinn Dennison, and her twin Julie, are a military secret weapon, sharing a unique psychic ability that links them. When Julie disappears, Jinn covertly takes her place in order to find her before time runs out.
At least, that was the plan...Tab 'Toxic' McIntosh has one of his own. His sister was taken by the Iceman, a notorious drug runner, and he wants her back no matter the cost. Using Jinn as bait seems like the only reasonable method to save his sister.
Things don't always go as planned, especially when Jinn and Toxic fall in love. Can they battle against all odds to win the day, or will they die trying?

Order your copy here!

Don't forget to join me for debut author month on Saturday January 17th when I visit Romancing the Genres and discuss why I write romantic mysteries.

Whether you love to read or to write or both, keep warm and be blessed.

Happy New Year!

2015 rolled in pretty uneventfully in this household. The kids managed to stay awake until midnight while I continually fell asleep on the couch. We had a nice night as a family eating Chinese food and watching a movie together. Low key and relaxed. We don't get a lot of family time these days so to me it was the perfect way to ring in the new year.

Today we met with mom, had some pizza and some family time before my honey had to take a nap for the night shift. My youngest wanted to take his new remote control car out in the dark because it lights up so we bundled up when the sun went down and hit the street. It was awfully cold for a southern winter!

If you followed my previous blog, welcome to my new home and thank you for joining me here. I have high hopes for this new year. I haven't set any traditional resolutions because I am still working on the ones from last year. I do have some professional goals that I hope to achieve and I look forward to all of you celebrating with me as they are accomplished.

Many of you may already know, I just signed the contract for the second book in the Defender's of Love series. Titled Homeland Security, it is the story of how Kaiden James, cousin to Logan James of Witness Protection discovers not all women take issue with a man's call to duty.

I am also looking forward to the release of Undercover In Six Inch Stilettos set to be released in early spring. The book is the first in a new series, The Secret Lives of Police Wives about, you guessed it women married to police officers with a penchant for finding trouble and a talent for crime solving. Stay tuned for a cover release in the near future! I am very excited about this series. It takes romance in a new direction with plenty of action and...um... extracurricular activity... with sexy men in uniform.
