Over Easy Coming 1/29/2020!

Happy New Year!

The new year has just begun and I have another book coming out. Pre-order link is here

Over Easy is part of the Common Elements Project. That means each story, across many genres, has some specific similarities aka common elements.

See if you can find them, and do check out the other stories on the website here.

The five elements are:

–>a lightning storm
–>lost keys
–>a haunted house (really haunted or rumored to be)
–>a stack of thick books
–>a person named Max

I have two spots left on Booksprout to review an advanced readers copy. You do have to join Booksprout (it’s free). Please, only those serious about reading and leaving an honest review on Amazon. First come, first served. Link is here

This is a steamy, second chance, contemporary romance. Blurb is below:

What’s that saying? Never say never?

I never thought I’d return to my hometown Somerset, Vermont. I left twelve years earlier without a backward glance. Too many bad memories, not enough good. Now, I’m a celebrity chef in between gigs ready to pay back a karmic debt by becoming co-owner of the town’s fading diner, Over Easy.

I also never planned to find my former high school flame, Audra Harper, still in town and still working at her uncle’s diner. She’s sexier and more desirable than a decade earlier.

Too bad I left her behind without saying goodbye. All I can hope is she’s forgotten me and never learns the truth behind my abrupt exit.

Only, she hasn’t forgotten me. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is for me to resist her. The harder it is to want to leave.

I don’t intend to hurt Audra again, but if the mistakes from my past come to light the decision will be made for me and our second chance will vanish.

Speaking of books, I recently joined Goodreads. My first thought after a few minutes was – where has this site been all my life?

I was like a kid in the candy shop. As an avid reader, I had a boatload of fun adding in books, reading recommendations, and visiting the different communities.

Hours later, I had added over 300 books to my “already read” list. Mind you, I only gave them a star rating and only included books read over the last few years (that I could remember). There are a ton more I’ve read over the course of my life, but I resisted the urge to add everything.  After all, I’m supposed to be writing my next novel.

Once Mystic Ink is officially released in January, I’ll create my own author page. Squee! I’m very excited to be part of the Goodreads community. One, because I’m a reader, and two, as a newly published author, I can interact with other readers and writers.

In the spirit of Goodreads, I offer a book recommendation of my own. Actually two books:  Blood Oath and The President’s Vampire by Christopher Farnsworth. Imagine if a vampire worked for the President? And he kicked butt and didn’t care about taking names? These books are action-packed adventures more in the spirit of Jason Bourne than Twilight. Highly entertaining and a lot of fun!

Cable TV executives pay attention. These books would make a great series! Hint, hint!

I hope to see you on Goodreads soon!
