In The News!

Witness Protection has made the news!

A local online news source from my hometown in New York has done a wonderful article about me and my writing that I am excited to share with all of you.

Oswego County Today

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?

November Happenings

Thank you to those who already follow me on my other blog, Boys, Badges and Writer's Block. I love that blog and I will continue to visit it and add my two cents to the world whenever the mood strikes me.

This blog is sort of an addendum to that one. It is a place where I can post all the comings and goings of my books and other writing stuff such as blog tours and spotlights. This is an exciting time for me and I want to share it with all of you. My first book with my publisher, Breathless Press, is available for pre-order on www.breathlesspress.com and http://www.amazon.com. The official release dates are November 28, 2014 for ebook and January 20, 2015 for paperback. There are several blog spotlights and blog tour dates coming up over the next few weeks that I will be sharing here and on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/Authorcarolynlaroche.

I am also planning an online release party for the evening of November 28th. Stay tuned for more information- there are games, contests and giveaways already in the works.

This will also be the place that I share with you reviews of books I am reading, spotlights and reveals for up and coming new releases and invite other authors to share their work.

If you would like to following what's happening, please take a moment and sign up for email updates or add me to your google+/circles.
