Eight
years ago my oldest son was talking to a marine recruiter about his options for
jobs he could do in the service. He’d always been an adrenaline junkie and
gravitated toward the dangerous things. When he wanted to explore EOD, my heart
dropped into my stomach. My first reaction was to steer him away from that
career path. But being an army vet, I knew the value of Explosives Ordnance
Disposal, and I knew many brave men and women lived because of those who served
in ordnance.
So instead of discouraging him from choosing EOD, I
encouraged him to research it, and in doing so, ideas for a series sprung to
life. He decided to go infantry in the end.
At first I thought about writing a contemporary military
romance, but a publisher I had at the time, warned me nobody would want to hear
about bombings and terrorists, with our service members deployed and
terrorist acts increasing all over the
world.
But I didn’t want to write about the bombers and
terrorists. I wanted to write stories about men and women who stopped them. So,
in respect for those dealing with the very real and dangerous situations, I chose to take the series off
Earth and into space and on alien planets.
Science fiction has always been one of my favorite
genres, and the first novel wrote over sixteen years ago, when I decided to pen
my first romance, was a beastly 100k novel which will never see the light of
day. Since then, I’ve written in many of the romance genres, but I always seem
to come back to my first love.
Science fiction and I have had a mad romance. We’ve seen
the ups and downs in the industry, and the neglect of attention this wonderful
genre deserves. Now I’m being told science fiction romance is the next hot
thing. I’m not surprised. I’ve always felt it was a hot thing and it would only
be a matter of time before readers discovered everything it had to offer.
So, on November 10th I will release the first book in my multi-book
Blown Away series. I hope you’ll grab a copy. You’ll get a little military and
a little science fiction. Action, adventure and fantastic worlds that will beg
you to explore more of them. Be sure to check out the second book, Explosive
Affairs, which will be up for preorder as Blown Away goes live.
Each of the novels in this series are stand alone, but
linked by common denominators. No cliff hangers here and a happy ever after is
guaranteed.
Blurb: One man and one woman, both on a
collision course with a mad bomber and the past.
Trios Space Port City is a busy place. MacKay and Boomer must stop a bomber before he strikes again, this time closer to home. Failure is not an option. Success means they get to live another day. But more than the danger is heating up. Their attraction has grown to explosive levels, and it’s become a major distraction. Not good when they need to keep their heads.
