Special Guest Marliss Melton & Giveaway
I’m so excited to be hosting the amazing Marliss Melton over at Writers Gone Wild today. She’s giving away a signed copy of The Protector to a commenter, so if you love military romantic suspense (and I guess if you’re reading my blog you must like it!), I hope you’ll come by.
One of the things I admire most about Marliss is the effort she puts into her research. She really tries to get it right and portray the military men accurately, something I wish every writer would do. I’ve asked her all sorts of questions about her research on SEALs, and about why her publisher no longer wanted to buy her SEAL books. Once you read the interview, I bet you’ll have even more respect for her.
Blurb: Eryn McClellan teaches ESL in Washington, D.C., until the day she’s targeted by terrorists avenging her father’s actions in Afghanistan. The FBI has stepped in, but when it looks like they are using her for bait, General McClellan enlists the aid of the only man he knows he can trust: former Navy SEAL Ike Calhoun.
Embracing solitude in his remote cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ike thought he’d left the War on Terror far behind. Now he’s stuck shielding a blue-eyed beauty from ambitious federal agents and crazed jihadists. More disturbing still, the charming Eryn seems intent on shattering his self-imposed isolation. Ike does his best to resist her welcoming ways, but he can feel his restraint eroding like a mountain in a mudslide. With the FBI hot on their heels and the terrorists not far behind, Ike willingly wages a one-man war in defense of the woman whose passion and faith have given him the strength to rise above his past.
Get Ready To Meet the Heroes of AFSOC
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this forever, but on Monday Deadly Descent is finally “out” in the world. I’m so excited for you all to meet Air Force Tech Sgt Cam Munro, my delicious PJ hero. I cannot tell you how much I admire and respect these men and what they do.
Blurb: Devon Crawford is an officer; Air Force Pararescueman Cam Munro is enlisted. Dev flies medical evacuations; Cam jumps into danger zones to save lives. Dev wants to return home from Afghanistan with her heart untouched; Cam will do anything to win the woman he loves.
Reaching for happiness in a war zone is the last thing Captain Devon Crawford plans, but she can’t ignore the feelings she’s hidden for so long. Cam’s sexy charm and wicked kisses weaken her resistance, but she’s too afraid of losing him to give in.
When Dev’s helicopter and crew are shot down and set up as bait by a notorious warlord, Cam risks all to save the team. What he doesn’t know is that the trap is set for him.
This week is nuts for me (in a good way), so here’s a list of places and dates where you can find me if you’d like to try and win a copy of Deadly Descent.
Monday, September 5th: Fresh Fiction
Tuesday, September 6th: Carina Press blog, SOS Aloha blog
Wednesday, September 7th: Smexy Books, Writers Gone Wild
Friday, September 9th: Cynthia Eden’s blog
Monday, September 12th: Book Lovers Inc.
Whew! That’s a lot, huh? Plus both my kids are starting school Tuesday, and I have another set of edits due back by the end of next week.
I hope you’ll enjoy Cam and Dev’s story. PJs truly are amazing. They live and die by their motto “That Others May Live”, and deserve our respect and our gratitude.
Release Day!
Well, it’s here. Release day for my alter ego, Callie Croix. Deacon’s Touch is the first of a series that one of my editors and I have created, and my second addition to it is called Dillon’s Claim. Probably won’t be out until next year, but we’ll see.
In the meantime, here’s the blurb and buy link for Deacon’s Touch. I’m also at author CR Moss’s blog today, and will give away a copy of the book to a commenter there. Feel free to stop by and say hello!
Have a great weekend!
Blurb: After her own engagement goes to hell, workaholic Jessica Talbot dreads her friend’s bachelorette party at a dude ranch in Nowheresville, Texas. But the outlook for the weekend brightens when Deacon Dumen picks her up at the airport. The sexy cowboy awakens every dormant sexual fantasy with nothing more than a friendly smile and a handshake.
Ex-Air Force Pararescueman Deke Dumen doesn’t know what to make of the sexy yet reserved brunette who breaks through the walls he built after an injury ended his career and a divorce soured him on relationships. As a guest at his family’s ranch Jessie is off limits, but the Dom in him rebels at the restriction, even as he realizes his penchant for control in the bedroom would likely scare the holy hell out of her.
When Jessie shocks Deke by asking for exactly what he’s been craving, he’s ready to break the rules and introduce her to his own brand of dominance. Her willing surrender rocks them both to the core. But once the weekend’s over, they must decide if it was just a wild fling or the start of something more.
Places to Find Me and Win Some Books
So much is happening this week! Here are a few places to “see” me, and my new pen name, Callie Croix, whose first release is this Friday.
First off, some links:
Today I’m at Badass Book Reviews giving away a copy of Cover of Darkness. Authors Pamela Clare and Caridad Pineiro are there giving away prizes also, so come on by and say hello.
At Writers Gone Wild I’ve “outed” myself as Callie Croix, and I’m giving away a digital copy of my upcoming release, Deacon’s Touch (comes out officially this Friday).
Also, Callie has officially been invited to blog at Naughty Author Chicks every other Wednesday, and today there’s an interview about me on their site. I’ll be alternating weeks between NAC and Writers Gone Wild.
On a less hectic note, here’s a picture I just couldn’t resist posting:
Isn’t it exactly what you picture Sam would say to Ben (No Turning Back) if she walked in and saw this? Lol. I love the cat’s unimpressed expression. He looks exactly like my cat, Shiloh (named after a Civil War battle, of course, plus he’s Confederate gray).
That’s it for now, except to say the initial reviews for Deadly Descent are rolling in, and so far they’ve been awesome! I hope you all love Dev and Cam’s story.
Have a great week!
Kaylea 🙂
