“An exhilarating read that could easily be a blockbuster on the screen.” – Kirkus Reviews

And she thought facing a firing squad was bad…
When archaeologist Mara Garrett traveled to North Korea to retrieve the remains of GIs lost in combat, she never imagined she’d be arrested, convicted of spying, and sentenced to death. Her only hope is Curt Dominick, a powerful and ambitious US attorney who has his own reasons for wanting Mara back on US soil.

What starts off as a rescue mission morphs into a race across the Pacific. Someone is after Mara, and they’ll risk everything to stop her from reaching Washington, DC. Curt and Mara have little reason to trust each other and every reason to resist the heat that flares between them. Still, desire clashes with loyalty when they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government.

Her only hope is Curt Dominick, the powerful, ambitious, and infuriatingly sexy US attorney prosecuting her uncle, a former vice president of the United States.

What starts off as a rescue mission quickly morphs into a race across the Pacific. Someone is after Mara, and they’ll risk everything to stop her from reaching Washington DC. With betrayal around every corner, Curt and Mara have little reason to trust each other and every reason to deny the sparks between them that blaze hotter than the Hawaiian sun.

Are you listening to the Authors Love Readers Podcast?

.01
Authors Love Readers, hosted by USAToday bestselling author Patricia McLinn, is a weekly conversation between authors about how and why they create stories. With questions contributed by readers. Quite a few podcasts are out there for aspiring and established writers, both on the craft and the business. This podcast, though, is for readers. The goal is to have authors on the show who write in all sorts of fiction genres. As a reader, it doesn’t matter which path to publication an author takes – independent, traditional, hybrid and other combinations. That’s not going to matter on Authors Love Readers, either.
In our first compilation episode, we bring you extra audio that we saved from previous interviews. Host Patricia McLinn talks about technology, audiobooks, cursing, and first jobs — and more — with previous podcast guests Julia Kent, Eve Gaddy, Tawdra Kandle, Author, Debra Salonen, author, Rachel Grant, Kelly McClymer Books, Barbara Samuel-O’Neal, Lori Ryan and Donna Kauffman. Also, enjoy the behind-the-scenes outtakes!

This week I gave away a signed print copy of LOVE AND PROTECT by Lori Ryan. It’s the first book in Lori’s Heroes of Evers, Texas series.

He vows to keep her safe …

And will do anything to protect her unborn child.

Cade Bishop rescues strays. So when a woman in trouble shows up on his doorstep, he doesn’t hesitate to take her in. He can tell Laura Kensington’s on the run but her tortured eyes don’t reveal her secrets. As her walls crumble, passion ignites.

But to save her, he needs to throttle back his response to Laura. She needed his protection, not his lust.

When Laura’s secrets unravel, her past resurfaces and her dead husband’s ruthless family closes in, threatening them both. They’ll stand together to fight for the life they’re building for themselves and the vulnerable baby they’ve both sworn to shield.

Love and Protect is the first book in Lori Ryan’s Heroes of Evers, TX romantic suspense series. It’s a standalone book that can be read in any order within the series.

A NEW RELEASE FROM DARCY BURKE

14142045_935174893276134_5969589605544725457_n

I had a great time as one of Darcy’s guests at her Facebook release party!

SO GOOD is the next chapter in the Ribbon Ridge saga, the first in the Love on the Vine spin-off series, featuring the Westcott brothers.

Little known fun fact – I’m the one who came up with Love on the Vine for the series name. ?

Cameron Westcott has spent eight years recovering from heartbreak by keeping romantic entanglements casual and simple. He’s never minded being called a manwhore, but after two years immersing himself in his new winery, he might be ready for the next chapter. Especially when he meets a sexy wine distributor—only she says she isn’t interested.

Following a bitter divorce, Brooke Ellis relocated to Ribbon Ridge to rebuild her life. Things will never be the same for her, and she’s coming to terms with that reality when she meets charming, persistent Cam. She can’t imagine a happy ever after given his reputation, but he makes her feel so good.

As the sparks between them intensify, they’re both hesitant to commit for very different reasons. Or are they really just sabotaging their own futures? If they can trust each other—and themselves—they may realize that what they share is too good to let slip away.

My current favorite ereader is my Kobo Aura H2O – because it does something print can’t do – it swims. Well, sinks. But it’s waterproof and I love reading in the pool, at the beach, and in the tub.  Where do you like to read?

The Weekly Recap -An Exciting Announcement!

The Weekly Recap -An Exciting Announcement!

I am so excited to share this news – the following article was published on Variety.com on July 19th:

Nancy Cartwright’s Spotted Cow Entertainment has acquired worldwide motion picture and television rights to Rachel Grant’s thriller novel “Body of Evidence”.

The film will be produced by Cartwright, alongside fellow Spotted Cow executives Peter Kjenaas and Monica Gil, and is currently out to writers to adapt. It is scheduled for a 2017 production start.

Cartwright, best known as the voice of Bart Simpson on “The Simpsons,”  launched Spotted Cow as a film/television finance and production company at Berlin.

“Body of Evidence” centers on an archaeologist and a U.S. attorney find themselves on a globe-spanning chase full of political intrigue and legal drama.

“We see, in this extraordinary novel, an entertaining, wild ride of passion and courage,” Kjenaas said. “Rachel has elevated the genre by rooting it in her deep knowledge of archaeology and this gives it an authenticity that is unique. Behind the truly threatening action of a thriller is the even more threatening risk of giving in to desire.”

Spotted Cow’s first project, “In Search of Fellini,” recently wrapped production in Italy. The coming-of-age drama starring Ksenia Solo, Maria Bello and Mary Lynn Rajskub. The film was directed by Taron Lexton and written by Cartwright and Kjenaas.

The company is also producing the one-woman stage show “24 Hours with Mary Lynn Rajskub.”

Grant is repped by Elizabeth Winick Rubinstein at McIntosh & Otis, Inc.

The project is not related to MGM’s 1993 erotic thriller of the same name, which starred Madonna and Willem Dafoe.
