Incriminating Evidence is FREE!

Remember the time I predicted sonic weapons could be used to attack people leaving no marks on their body in a book published in 2015, at least a year before the sonic weapon attacks on personnel in the American Embassy in Cuba began? That book is FREE now!

And if predicting the future isn’t enough for you, as a BONUS the book includes a steamy ? enemies-to-lovers ? romance between a former Army Ranger turned politician and an archaeologist who saves his life after finding him unconscious deep in the Alaskan wilderness…

From enemies to allies…
When archaeologist Isabel Dawson stumbles upon an unconscious man deep in the Alaskan wilderness, her survival skills are put to the test. She tends his wounds and drags him to shelter, only to discover she’s saved the life of Raptor CEO Alec Ravissant—the man who may have covered up her brother’s murder to save his senatorial campaign.With no memory of the assault that landed him five miles deep in the forest, Alec doesn’t know what to believe when he wakes in the clutches of the beautiful redhead who blames him for her brother’s death, but he quickly realizes he needs her help to uncover the truth about his lost hours.Isabel never imagined she’d find herself allied with Alec, and he’s the last man she ever expected to find attractive. But the former Army Ranger-turned-politician proves seductively charming, and he’s determined to win much more than her vote. When their quest for answers puts Isabel in the crosshairs, Alec must risk everything—his company, his campaign, and his life—to protect her.

This series looks like such a blast!! I can’t wait to visit the academy!!!!

Life at the academy just got… messy.

I’ve always dreamed of getting into a top college, but after a stint in juvie, my school prospects went sideways fast. Now I work at a magic academy…as a janitor. Ironic, right?

Okay, so maybe I get a kick out of secretly solving the arcane equations the professors leave on the board for the rich, entitled student wizards. I’m broke, not stupid.

Except then I get caught by the hottest mage on campus…who ropes me into helping him and his three equally gorgeous friends win a decidedly screwed-up magic competition.

Easy enough, I think—until I start setting things on fire and getting chased by smoke-faced monsters and fighting side by side with four of the sexiest, most powerful wizards ever…and find myself—just maybe—falling in love…

With all of them.

Whoops.

Note: This is a medium burn, New Adult Why Choose paranormal academy romance, and book 1 of 4 in the Twyst Academy series.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a sexy new contemporary stand-alone series.

Hazel Noble has survived horrors she wouldn’t inflict on her worst enemy. Since then, she’s healed, found herself, and connected with a group of women she’s proud to call her friends. However, when they make a pact to start looking for love, Hazel finds herself not only up first but also forced to face a past she thought she’d escaped.

Cross Brady has no need for a relationship. As the oldest of five, he’s always been the one his family can rely on. Now, all he wants is to work in peace and live his life. His priorities shift dramatically, though, when Cross finds himself in Hazel’s path.

Though the two initially fight their connection, they soon learn that it’s safer to fall for each other than keep running from what’s holding them back—not to mention, who wants them dead.

The RAT Informant Website

My RATinformant website has been updated (finally!) The site is a parody website, based on the fictional website “RATinformant.com,” which plays a role in my book, WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE.

I hope you visit it and look around!

An RWA Update

I also have an update for you regarding RWA – I posted it to the RWA Discussion Forum and am also sharing it with you here:

To me, the worst part about RWA going away isn’t the loss of my dream of winning a RITA (although I will miss that dream, and I know for many that dream was nearly impossible due to racism), nor is it missing the conference, which was one of my favorite events of the year. I won’t miss National because there are other conferences like RAM to fill that void. For me, the worst part is that no other writers’ organization welcomes unpublished authors like RWA did.

I joined RWA in March 2005. I didn’t publish until April 2013. In those 8 years, RWA was vital to me in learning craft and the business and making friends. I found a mentor through RWA. Literally all of my closest writing friends, critique partners, and beta readers I either met directly because of RWA or I can trace our meeting back to an RWA origin. Through RWA I learned how to write a query letter. How to pitch in person. I finaled in the Golden Heart 4 times. A week after the 2011 conference, the year I double finaled, I found myself with 5 offers of representation. (One of whom had been my pitch appointment at National.) Who did I turn to for advice in making that decision? My 2008 GH Pixies. My mentor. Thanks to RWA I had a support network in place to help me.

The agent I signed with (she is still my agent and I love her with all my heart) had initially contacted *me* because she looked up my website after I double finaled. Liz then went on to push me to be a better writer, taking my craft to the next level. Thank you RWA.

I have so much to thank RWA for, and almost none of it is what RWA has done for me as a published author. It’s what the org did for me before April 16, 2013, when my first novel released.

I had been seriously considering running for the board this year to give back to the organization I have been so thankful for, but now, as I resign from RWA, I will be able to use the time I would have given to RWA in a different way. I don’t know the best ways to make a profit from Facebook or AMS ads. I’m not a marketing guru. But I do know craft and I’d like to pay it forward.

In the coming days I’m going to set up a page on my website for aspiring writers to request a read of their first chapter. I am also reaching out to other published authors to ask if they’d be willing to use their now RWA-less time to mentor others. I’ve had a few say yes already.

If you object to being called white or believe that marginalized authors should only express their pain in ways that make you feel comfortable and safe, if you’ve ever used the phrase, “I can’t be racist because I have Black friends/family/coworkers”, or if you in any way shape or form blame AOC for the collapse of RWA, do not email me to ask about being a mentor or mentee. This is not for you.

Unpublished authors: you will need to have completed at least one manuscript to apply.

It is with great heartache that I say goodbye to RWA. But I’m also saying good riddance without an ounce of regret.

Evidence #5

Falling in love was never part of his mission…

With visions of professional glory, underwater archaeologist Cressida Porter embarks on a research trip deep into the heart of Eastern Turkey. Her dreams turn into nightmares when she becomes the unwitting courier for a terrorist network. Stranded and unable to speak the language, she turns to a handsome and enigmatic security specialist for help, even while fearing he may be behind a violent assault that leaves her vulnerable.

CIA Case Officer Ian Boyd’s mission is clear: follow the courier, identify the terrorist leader, and intercept the microchip before it falls into enemy hands. For Ian, cozying up to the alluring archaeologist to find out where her loyalties lie isn’t exactly hardship duty. But spending time with her proves dangerous when she awakens a longing for a life he can never have.

Attraction wars with distrust as Cressida and Ian are forced on the run. When violence erupts in the already unstable region, Cressida discovers everything she knows about Ian is false. With all secrets revealed, Cressida must decide if she can trust the spy with her life, while Ian faces his own impossible choice: Cressida or his mission.

TAKING THE CAKE

A walk on the wild side with her favorite bad boy is just what this good girl needs…

Mollie Mason is sure her night can’t get any worse. Stuck in an inflatable rubber cake, she overhears her fiancé slamming her at his bachelor party—and then she catches him cheating! But discovering her high school crush has witnessed her humiliation is the icing on the cake.

Cade Gallagher has wanted Mollie for years. And when she asks him to help her prove to the world—and herself—that she’s not just a good girl, he knows he’d be a fool to say no. But she wants a temporary fling. Will two weeks be enough time to convince her to take a chance on him—forever?

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED. It has been lightly edited and revised.

WARNING: This book contains sex, shenanigans, and shopping. Sometimes all three at the same time.

STRIP TEASE

He’s vice. She’s nice. Watch out, Seattle!

It seemed easy enough. Hit the local all-male strip club, pick a likely target and hire him for her best friend’s bachelorette party. But the stripper who catches Caroline’s eye has a different agenda. He’s an undercover cop, and Caroline ends up under arrest—for solicitation!

Tony DiMarco realizes too late that he’s made a mistake. Caroline’s reputation and business are suffering, and he feels responsible. He feels something else too—the pull of red-hot desire. He wants Caroline, but she’s afraid that he’s just trying to make up for his mistake. Can this determined vice cop teach her to trust him?

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED. It has been lightly edited and revised.

WARNING: This book contains people taking their clothes off. Which is kind of the point, right?

CHALLENGING CARTER

Turn best friend into boyfriend? Challenge accepted!

Dani’s been in love with Carter forever. But she’s nothing like the women he dates—glamorous, exciting, spotlight-ready. Instead, she’s stuck in the best-friend role and can’t seem to find a way out of it. Until a scheduling mix-up finds her enrolled in a strip-aerobics class. Now this buttoned-down wallflower is finding her wicked side—and liking it!

Carter can’t understand what’s happened to his best bud. She’s gone from sweet to sexy in ten seconds flat—and Carter’s lucky enough to be around for the ride of a lifetime. But he knows from past experience that relationships don’t last. He’s got to get
things back on track before the most important friendship in his life is damaged forever.

Problem is, Dani has no intention of going back to being just friends. It’s about time someone challenged Carter’s assumptions about love and friendship—and Dani’s just the woman to do it!

?????????? I LOVED LOVED LOVED SO CLOSE!!! And now, finally, you can love it too!!! Grab this fun, steamy read from an author who knows how to turn on all the feels!!

?????????? “A beautifully written slow burn romance, jam-packed with sexual tension, snappy dialogue, and a cast of clever and charming characters. Get ready to fall in love with Trey and Auburn!” —Karen Booth, Author of Tempted by Scandal ??????????

? The inn is her life. He needs to tear it down. Where there are sparks … there are fireworks. ?

Auburn Campbell loves Beachcrest Inn. Working there saved her sanity as a teenager and got her back on her feet after a controlling relationship. So when Trey Xavier shows up, threatening to demolish Beachcrest, she’s ready to fight. Nothing riles her up like a hot guy in an expensive suit on a power trip—in the worst and best ways.

Trey screwed up. And now he needs this land deal or he’ll lose his business. He built his company from scratch so he could take care of his family the way his dad never did. But it would be a lot easier for Trey to stand his ground if Auburn didn’t tempt him so badly. He hasn’t wanted anyone like this in a long time. Maybe ever.

After a few days of summer sun, Auburn and Trey are both losing their heads—and maybe their hearts, too. Except they’re both out of practice at losing.

Only one thing’s certain: The Fourth of July in Tierney Bay will have plenty of fireworks this year.

? From So Close ?

She led him toward the back of the shop, where she began pulling things off racks and piling them into his arms. “Go. Try those on.”

“Are you always this bossy?”

She made a face at him. “Only when a rich, out-of-town asshole shows up and threatens to tear down my inn.”

He squelched a smile. “Not your inn. My inn.”

She scowled and gave him a little shove toward the dressing room. “Shut up and get naked.”

Congrats to my friend Jayne Ann Krentz for hitting #6 on the New York Times with her new release, The Vanishing!!
I loved this book! ??
Set in the Pacific Northwest, The Vanishing is my favorite kind of paranormal romantic suspense, with great chemistry between Catalina and Slater, and masterful reveals as they race to find Olivia. A thoroughly engrossing read (or rather listen as I enjoyed the audiobook)!!

Decades ago in the small town of Fogg Lake, “The Incident” occurred: an explosion in the cave system that released unknown gases. The residents slept for two days. When they woke up they discovered that things had changed — they had changed. Some started having visions. Others heard ominous voices. And then the scientists from a mysterious government agency arrived…

Determined not to become research subjects in an experiment that no one would explain, the people of Fogg Lake blamed the “hallucinations” on some local mushrooms cooked in a stew that everyone had eaten at a celebration. The story worked. The researchers left town. But now it has become apparent that the weird effects of The Incident are showing up in the descendants of Fogg Lake…

Catalina Lark and Olivia LeClair grew up in Fogg Lake and have been best friends for years. They now own an investigation firm, a business that allows them to use what they call their “other sight” to help solve cases. Things are going well until the night Olivia disappears. Cat frantically begins the search for her friend. When Slate Arganbright, an agent from a shadowy organization known only as The Foundation, shows up, she has no choice but to accept his help.

The duo discovers that someone is hunting the two people who witnessed a murder that took place in the Fogg Lake caves fourteen years ago. The killer was never caught. The witnesses were Cat and Olivia. Someone intends to make both women vanish.

RWA

#IStandWithCourtney

It has been a heartbreaking week as I’ve watched an organization I love implode, but my pain is nothing compared to the authors of color who’ve been told in no uncertain terms that calling out racism in books can get them banned from the organization. My pain is nothing compared to what Courtney must feel, after all the hours and emotional energy she has given to RWA. My heart breaks for past board members who had worked so hard to address racism within the organization. Now all that work is in ashes.

I’ve withdrawn my books from this year’s RITA contest and I won’t be judging. I will not attend the conference in San Francisco and have withdrawn from the award committee.

I remain on the Ethics Committee – not the secret committee that was seated in violation of policy and procedure, but the REAL Ethics Committee that knew nothing about the complaint against Courtney. While committee members are confidential, I do have the right to identify myself as one. I have decided to stay on the committee as I believe it’s the best way for me to get answers, or at least ensure my questions are heard.

POISON EVIDENCE is 99c – Sale ends Saturday Night!

It was supposed to be paradise…

Ivy MacLeod has the perfect opportunity to test her advanced remote sensing technology: mapping a World War II battle site in the islands of Palau. The project is more than an all-expenses-paid trip to paradise. It’s also an opportunity to distance her reputation from her traitorous ex-husband.

But foreign intelligence agencies will kill to possess her invention, and paradise turns deadly when her ex-husband’s vicious allies attack. In desperation, she turns to Air Force pilot Jack Keaton. But is he the bigger threat? Jack might be protecting her as he claims…or he could be a foreign agent. Her compass is skewed by his magnetic pull and further thrown off when she learns her own government has betrayed her.

Stranded on a tropical island with a man whose motives remain a mystery, Ivy must decide who is the spy, who is the protector, and who is the ultimate villain. She longs to trust the man who rescued her, but she’s risking more than her heart. Choose right, and she saves her country’s secrets—and her life. Choose wrong—and she risks nothing short of all-out war.

A NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!!

COMING EARLY DECEMBER 2019 – WINTER HAWK: A RAPTOR HOLIDAY NOVELLA

Raptor operative Nate Sifuentes isn’t thrilled to find himself back on the job on the first day of his winter vacation, but he can’t say no when his brother asks a favor. At least he’ll earn an easy Christmas bonus—after all, driving a fired military contractor home after she’s been escorted off base by military police can’t be that hard.

In a matter of minutes, Leah Ellis has lost everything, and now she’s left stranded in the nation’s capital on the first night of Hanukkah without money, phone, or bed. All she has is a mysterious driver who might be after her technical knowledge of the US military’s drone operations.

The former Green Beret’s protective instincts—and skills—kick in when he discovers the alluring AI engineer is being hunted. On the run, they escape the winter cold by generating their own heat, but will they find answers in time to stop a terror attack on Christmas Day?

Available now!!! Check out this great anthology which includes a new novella by Kate Davies Romance!! ????????????

This anthology contains five never-before-published novellas about new beginnings and second chances from five authors who promise never to plagiarize, use ghostwriters, or recycle content. The authors also guarantee a happily-ever-after or happy-for-now ending for every story, because if it doesn’t end HEA/HFN, it’s not a romance!

THE WEDDING FLING by Kate Davies
Gia
I’ve had a crush on Randy for years – but my older brother’s BFF never gave me a second look. That is, until the wedding. Now we’re flirting, and having fun, and I’ve got a hotel room for the night. I don’t have time for a relationship, but a one-night-only hookup? I’m down for that. I just hope he is, too…

Randy
I’m not sure when Tony’s little sister went from way-too-young to holy smokes, but she’s the first woman I’ve been interested in since my fiancée dumped me. I know that if I tried anything, Tony would kill me and ask questions later. Problem is, Gia’s totally on board for a night together. And I’m starting to think it’s worth the risk.

REVERENCE by Jayce Ellis
Rasheed knew coming back home wouldn’t be smooth sailing, but he wasn’t quite prepared for the level of vitriol he got from the person he was most anxious to see—his high school sweetheart, Percy. His best friend. His closest confidante. And the reason he’d returned. But from their first meeting, he knows it’s going to be an uphill battle, and Percy doesn’t seem the least bit interested in renewing a friendship, let alone anything more. Twenty-five years after breaking his heart the first time, Rasheed has to prove himself worthy of a second chance.

REPEATED BURN by Tara Kennedy
Raven is already having a bad Monday, and the arrival of her ex’s new ex, Sienna, is not helping. Planning to wash her hands of the whole thing, Raven delivers Sienna to her brother, Marcus. But the universe seems determined to throw Raven and Marcus together.

Marcus is used to cleaning up his little sister’s messes. They usually don’t involve attractive women. He is drawn to Raven’s independence and her confidence. Raven’s been burned by those who claimed to love her time and again. Will she be able to trust that Marcus is ready for the long haul?

SEMI-TOUGH LUCK by M.A. Parker
Sylvia
When my semi was stolen from a truck stop in Middle-of-Nowhere, Nebraska, I lost my home, most of my possessions, and my livelihood. With no easy way to get back to L.A., I hitch a ride with the local sheriff’s way-too-sexy brother, Ivan Carlson, who’s on his way to San Diego to play pro hockey. There’s no reason to think Ivan will be anything but a perfect gentleman, which is good, because I certainly don’t want to start something with a guy I’m going to be trapped in a car with for several days. Or that’s what I thought, until we wind up having to share a motel room. Tough luck, right?

NEVER REALLY OVER (A Hotel Arroyo Novella) by Sabrina Sol
Callie Arroyo hasn’t seen Ryan Salazar since he left her and L.A. behind seven years ago in search of adventure and a life better than the one he had growing up. But now as her sister prepares to marry his brother, they’re about to be part of each other’s lives again.

Ryan thought moving to Italy would give him everything he’d ever wanted. But by the time he’d realized all he’d ever needed was Callie, it was too late. She’d moved on and married someone else. Even had a kid.

Pushed together for pre-wedding festivities, Ryan and the newly single Callie must navigate old feelings and new attractions. Like before, they both have hard choices to make. Will love be enough this time?
