Sneak Peek Sunday...



 

Mia Downing told me about this new (to me) meme, Sneak Peek Sunday, and I thought I'd play along because it's fun. The point is...to share 6 paragraphs from either a WIP, a sneak peek, or a published work.

My six paragraphs are from Operation: Endurance....releasing in just 9 days on April 30th. Here, you get a sneak peek of a new character in this book, Toni (I love her sass)....


 

When she finished, Officer Pete Larson lay moaning in fake pain on the mats. She turned to grin at the class. “Any questions?”

“I think I need another instructor.” Of course it was Toni who piped up first. The attractive brunette was full of sass and she wasn’t afraid to show it. This was the girl’s second week in the self-defense class and they’d already learned she held nothing back. Her turquoise eyes sparkled.

Oh, this should be good. “And exactly why would that be, Toni?”

“I need some big ugly dude to beat up.” She gestured to Pete slowly levering himself up off the floor. “If he’s going to be the one attacking me,” she gave him a full-body perusal, “then damn, I’m going to let him.” The entire class giggled, obviously in agreement. Toni definitely kept the class entertained.

Pete flushed red and Julie worked to hide her smile as she glanced back over at him. The guy was a sweetheart and with that hot body and those dimples, he definitely kept their Krav Maga self-defense classes swooning.

“Yes, he’s pretty, but keep in mind that seventy-three percent of rapes are perpetrated by men the victims already knew. Pretty or not, they are physically stronger than you and you need to know how to even the odds against them. That’s why you’re here. So now it’s time to beat him up for a while, and luckily for us, he brought a few of his fellow friends from the police force. And, yes, they’re pretty too.”

Final Stages...

It's almost here. Believe me, I'm as relieved as you all are. I've heard your pleas for Julie and Chris's story. Right now, Operation: Endurance with my e-book formatter and I am on the final stages of approving the print copy. So, we are on track for the April 30th release...knock on wood. *eeks*


This is when I start getting nervous about making sure that it goes up on-time. I'm one of those people that annoyingly shows up for a party 10 minutes before it starts.


BUT as soon as it's uploaded onto Amazon, I will send out a newsletter letting you know that it's officially available. Note: the newsletter goes out when the e-book format is available...not print. They are two separate processes so it's virtually impossible to have them timed together and most people buy the e-book.


************************


Now that I can see the finish line on Operation: Endurance, my focus is beginning to shift to other projects and I have SEVERAL in the works.  I'll be making some official announcements after Op: Endurance releases, but to whet your appetite, I'll give you a few hints here.


Next Up:

  1. The Shadow of Mudflap- super-spy heroine, firefighter hero, with a backdrop of West Texas football, danger, and adventure. All proceeds from this book will benefit The Red Cross. Releasing: August, 2013

  2. Unnamed Novella- There is one more novella coming from the When the Mission Ends series. You get a glimpse of the featured couple at the end of Operation: Endurance. I'm excited although I'm not really sure where their story is going yet. I just know there's a story there to be told. Releasing: Fall or Winter, 2013

  3. Through the Veil- This is a paranormal dystopian series that I started last year. This is the first release from the series with plans to write 5-8 books total in the series. I'm really excited about this world and will share more soon. Tentative release date: October, 2013

  4. The Christmas Top- My first official contracted publication releasing through Decadent. This is an m/m novella set on Christmas Eve through their 1NS series. I think the release date for it is November, 2013

  5. Snowcroft Lost- A full-length m/m romantic suspense novel that's been brewing in my head for a few months. I'm excited about this project, but haven't even started on it yet, although I know exactly what happens for the first few scenes. Tentative Release date: February, 2014

  6. Martin Ranch Trilogy- You met the Martin boys in Operation: Endeavor. Andrew is a Texas Ranger, Scott is a paramedic, Matthew, the baby of the family, works on the family ranch. All three will be getting a full-length romantic suspense novels. First up is Scott and his heroine, Skye, who's a country/western star. These two have been pushing on my creative muse all week so their story is already forming big-time. Tentative release date: April, 2014.


Wow, it's going to be a busy, crazy year, but I am so excited about ALL of these books! Like I said, I'll be giving you more details after the release of Operation: Endurance....Especially about The Shadow of Mudflap....it's been such a fun project to work on so far (about 1/3 of the way written).
