Sourcebooks Casablanca Romance Authors

This is a huge week for me because ONE DARK WISH , the second book in my Deadly Force romantic suspense, has finally entered the world!!!  It’s an especially important week for me because this book was supposed to come out nine months ago, but Sourcebooks Casablanca pushed off the publication date to change the book cover. Originally, there was a man on the cover to match the first book in the series EVERY DEEP DESIRE . But, after talking to booksellers, the publisher decided to go with a more gothic, iconic cover.  And I have to say that this cover was worth the wait!!  ONE DARK WISH is a romantic suspense story with a National Treasure-type plot. The heroine, Sarah Munro, is a historian who specializes in 17 th century pirates. Her hero, ex-Green Beret Nate Walker, has just been released from the U.S. Army’s secret prison hospital in Maine. When Sarah and Nate meet in a remote colonial-era cemetery outside of Savannah, GA, and they’re threatened by a Fi...

FLASH  SALE!!! For a limited time, EVERY DEEP DESIRE --the first book in the Deadly Force series--is on sale in Amazon's Kindle store for $1.99!!! In anticipation of  ONE DARK WISH's  release on Tuesday September 24, I've put together a primer about the Deadly Force Series. In today's post, I'm discussing the heroes of the series. The heroes of this romantic suspense series are a team of ex-Special Forces soldiers, accused of vicious war crimes, and determined to prove their innocence. Led by their commander Colonel Kells Torridan, they're desperate to find the enemy who wants to destroy them before time runs out and the enemy attacks again. As these men struggle to rebuild their lives and redeem their honor, it’s the women they love who teach these alpha males that  Grace  always defeats  Reckoning. In the meantime, Kells and his men of the Seventh Special Forces group have been dishonorably discharged. Half of their men are in ...

Ever since reading Twice Loved by Lavyrle Spence, I've always loved reunion stories. So when I started writing Every Deep Desire , I was so happy when I realized that ex-Green Beret Rafe Montfort and Juliet Capel (the hero and heroine) had not only once been married but they'd grown up together on a remote sea island off the Georgia coast known as the Isle of Grace.  This fact allowed me to weave in memories of their childhood adventures and show how, despite living in rural poverty, Rafe and Juliet were able to find happiness in their isolation. They spent hours watching the constellations trail across the night sky, picnicking in the Back Meadow, fishing barefoot in the creeks, and canoeing through the tidal estuaries that snaked across Juliet's land. And every time they met, Rafe carried contraband--a napkin holding his mother's brownies he'd stolen from her trailer's kitchen.  Rafe and Juliet spent hours lying in the grass, beneath the hot su...

It's been sweltering hot here in Central Ohio. And of course what better time for our air conditioner to start acting up than right now! The good news is that it's still blowing cold air. The bad news is that it's leaking water all over the basement. The even worse news is that it's thirty years old and has to be replaced rather than repaired. In other news, I've been hard at work on my next novel which is set in winter. It's strange writing about snow and cold when it's in the 90's with high humidity here. Which reminds me of my novel RACE THE DARKNESS. This book is set at this exact time of year--the weeks leading up to July 4th!  And guess what? Guess what? Guess what? **It's on SALE !**  Grab your copy for only  $1.99 . But hurry, the sale lasts only a few days! AMAZON BARNES AND NOBLE GOOGLE KOBO And to wet your appetite, here's the first two chapters for your reading enjoyment! RACE THE D...
