The Weekly Recap – 11/2/18

Today is my Birthday!

.01

In honor of my birthday I’ve started a fundraiser for a cause close to my heart.  If you’ve read my book Catalyst, this will be familiar.

Days for Girls International helps girls in the developing world find sanitary ways to manage their monthy cycle so they can get an education.

From their website:
“Without a solution to manage her monthly cycle:
?1 in 10 girls in Sub-Saharan Africa…
113 million adolescent girls in India…
30% of girls in rural Brazil…
?will miss school this year.”

For my birthday, I’m asking for donations to Days for Girls International to aid their mission to support girls in the developing world. Their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you’ll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal.

The man of her fantasies is finally hers. Sort of…

Two things haunt forensic anthropologist Hazel MacLeod: the bones of victims of genocide she examines for her work, and former SEAL Sean Logan’s rejection. But within days of moving to her cousin’s estate to take a much needed break, she finds herself faced with both.

First, she’s called in to examine a mass grave in Virginia, then, her politician cousin receives a threatening letter and insists Hazel needs around the clock protection—from none other than Sean Logan. To make matters worse, because the threat to her is classified, Hazel and Sean must pretend to be lovers to hide that he’s her bodyguard.

Sean has spent years trying to avoid his boss’s sexy cousin, but now he’s guarding her twenty-four/seven and even bringing her as his date to a romantic destination wedding. As the heat between them intensifies, Sean can’t lose sight of the danger that brought them together. But when bullets start flying, new questions arise. Are the senator’s political rivals really behind the threat, or is someone trying to silence Hazel from speaking for the dead?

I’m very excited by the partnership between Walmart and Kobo! Now all of my books are available at Walmart online, and I love working with the wonderful people at Kobo Writing Life. Plus I absolutely love my Kobo Aura H2O. (It’s waterproof!)

While I was at Walmart I bought a $25 Walmart eBook gift card to give away to one lucky reader through my Facebook page.  The winning comment was by Tina Stuck – congratulations!

Read my first Romantic Suspense!

.01

Have you read GRAVE DANGER?
She’s being stalked…
After struggling to recover from a career-crippling mistake, archaeologist Libby Maitland has landed the project of her dreams—a data recovery excavation in a picturesque, historic sawmill town. Tasked with digging up secrets of the town’s founding family, Libby soon learns that nothing in Coho, Washington, is as idyllic as it seems.

She’s barely settled into her new home when suspicious events make her believe she’s being stalked…

Or maybe she’s losing her mind.

Coho Police Chief Mark Colby can’t decide if Libby is crazy or if she has her own twisted agenda, but the deeper he delves into her past, the more intrigued he becomes. Even as he and Libby grow closer, he can’t quite let his initial suspicion go.

When Libby’s life is threatened, they must work together to determine if the truth about her stalker is buried in her past, or if the answers can be found in the layers of the excavation.

CATALYST

Releases November 21st!

.1

 

“From ravaged South Sudan to opulent Morocco, Rachel Grant”s CATALYST reveals both a sophisticated thriller and a sizzling romance.”   Toni Anderson,  New York Times Bestselling Author

When a food storage depot in famine-struck South Sudan is torched, American aid worker Brie Stewart flees, only to land in a market where she’s the next item up for auction. Is the attack on the aid facility another assault upon the war-torn fledgling democracy, or has her family set her up as a pawn in their quest for oil rights?

 Chief Warrant Officer Sebastian Ford crossed paths with Brie years ago when she was a shill for her family’s company, pushing a pipeline that threatened his tribe’s land. Determined to lead the rescue operation to save her, he won’t let her abduction—or the attraction that flares between them—get in the way of settling their unfinished business.
 
The Green Beret’s skills are put to the test in the flooded grasslands of South Sudan, where they must battle nature and dangerous factions who are after more than oil. Bastian and Brie put their hearts on the line as they find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends beyond country and continent. Together they must douse the spark before it reaches the flashpoint and engulfs everything they hold dear.

Midnight Sun Launch!

Midnight Sun Launch!

To celebrate the release of Midnight Sun as a stand alone title, my husband and kids decided to literally launch my book–as in, make the book a rocket and launch it–because everything is more fun when explosives are involved.

Here is my husband loading the book into the rocket sleeve and putting a cone on top:

Video of the launch:

[wpvideo MU2XBQ5U]

I would like to say no books were harmed in the making of this video, but that would be a lie. However the book in question was the print proof, so no final copies were harmed.

If you didn’t pick up a copy of the Twelve Shades of Midnight anthology before it disappeared, you can now read Midnight Sun as a stand alone! As an added bonus, the first chapter of Incriminating Evidence (Evidence Series #4) is the excerpt at the back of the ebook. Incriminating Evidence will release on March 24th.

This week is the launch of Twelve Shades of Midnight anthology! I’m so thrilled my novella, Midnight Sun, is included in the set.

I absolutely loved working with the other authors on this project and love how we’ve come together to produce and promote it. If you are curious about our collaborative process, Ann Voss Peterson put together a great post on JA Konrath’s blog.

Today I’m with some of the other authors at Get Lost in a Story, and yesterday the authors took the Inside the Actors Studio quiz at Kiss and Thrill. On Monday, Jenn Stark and I talked about Halloween traditions at Just Romantic Suspense.

Be sure to check out Robin Perini and Angi Morgan’s “What Shade of Midnight Are You?” quiz, and don’t miss our book trailer (Facebook | YouTube) and our Twelve Shades of Midnight song.

Tonight from 6 p.m. to midnight EST, all Twelve authors will be online celebrating the launch with a Facebook party. There will be games and giveaways and it’s certain to be lots of fun! To RSVP for the party, click on the image below.

Midnight Sun

MidnightSun-frontcover-final-72dpiA woman on the edge…

Museum collections specialist Sienna Aubrey is desperate. A prehistoric Iñupiat mask in her client’s collection is haunted, and it wants her to return it to Alaska…now. Tormented to her breaking point, she steals it. But when she arrives in the remote Alaskan village, the tribal representative refuses to take the troublesome mask off her hands. Even worse, the manipulative artifact pulls the infuriating man into her dream, during which she indulges in her most secret fantasies with him.

A man in search of the truth…

Assistant US Attorney Rhys Vaughan came to the Arctic Circle to prove someone tried to murder his cousin. When Sienna shows up at his cousin’s office with the local tribe’s most sacred artifact, she becomes his prime suspect. Then the mask delivers him into Sienna’s hot, fantasy-laden dream, and his desire to investigate her takes an entirely different turn.

An artifact seeking justice…

But the mask has an agenda, and it’s not to play matchmaker. If Sienna doesn’t do what the artifact wants, she may pay the ultimate price, and only Rhys can protect her.
