RELEASE DAY for BREAKING OUT!!
It is October 10th and it is RELEASE DAY for Breaking Out!! This book has been a journey. I've been working on it for five months and I'm so thrilled it's out and my dear readers can finally read it.
An Excerpt:
I'll be sending out another newsletter later with an excerpt and links, but for now here's the blurb:
There will be other books about these characters at a later date. I'll keep you posted.
Here are some of the other ladies involved in this October Magic and Mayhem release. Each has written a kickass novella for this.
An Excerpt:
God, he hated working with explosives.
The other guys loved blowing shit up. He couldn’t feel the same way. Being the
medic of the team, he’d dealt too many times with the carnage left behind after
IEDs ripped guys apart. Seeing the aftermath had made him wary. The C-4 they
were using to bring down the building wasn’t what spooked him. The stuff could
burn like a log if he set it on fire, but it wouldn’t blow up until he added
the blasting caps he was carrying… In fact, just one of those blasting caps
could do significant damage and set off the entire cache in his pack.
He dragged in deep breaths to stifle the rush of anxiety.
Sweat rolled down his sides. As soon as they returned to base, he’d email
Patricia and feel better. The thought steadied him, and his hands only shook a
little while he set his supplies out and paused to check the stability of the
stacked crates in his way. Moving them would take too long and be too noisy.
He rested a booted foot on one of the wooden boxes and shifted
his weight atop it in increments. The lid gave a little, but seemed strong
enough to support him. He tucked the hated blasting caps into one of the many
pockets in his BDUs and laid the bars of C-4 atop the crates. He climbed the
first tier. The lid of the top box wobbled, and he eased it aside. It was
packed with rifles. How many were in the room?
And what else might there be?
They were sitting on top of one huge IED with the fuse in
their hands. He reached into his front pocket for his cell phone and took a
quick pic of the interior of the crate, then another to document the crates in
the room. Satisfaction blocked out some of his anxiety while he mashed several
blocks of plastic explosive along the weight-bearing wall behind the boxes.
Working quickly, he linked the explosives, embedded the last
blasting cap, and hooked it to the timer, finishing the circuit. He glanced at
his dive watch. The clock had to be set at just the right second so they’d all
go off at once. The steel supports of the building created too much
interference for them to use a remote to set off the explosion. This would give
them time to bug out and be long gone before the building collapsed.
Clicks on his com system signaled his team members, first
Hawk, then Bowie, exiting the building. Need to get a move on.
The sound of voices outside the door sent an electric charge
through his system, and he jerked his sidearm free. With the stacks of crates
in the room lining the walls, there was nowhere to hide. If they opened the
door, they wouldn’t see the charges, but they’d damn sure see him.
Gingerly, he stepped down off the boxes, placing one foot,
then the other, on the floor. Even the rustle of his clothing sounded loud. The
voices receded. He snagged his pack, which still held his med kit and other
supplies, and slipped it onto his shoulders, grabbed his assault rifle, and
sidestepped to the window.
If all hell broke loose, he’d take his chances outside the
building, away from the explosives. Every bump of the wooden frame as he raised
the window sounded like a sonic boom. He slid, legs first, out the window, then
lowered himself to the ground.
The crunch of the sandy grit beneath his boots grated as
loud as an avalanche. He froze and waited while he scanned the area. The
buildings around him seemed to lean in, waiting, watching. Nothing moved, and
he sneaked from shadow to shadow, away from the building and back to his
position across the street, just catty-corner to the structure’s façade. It
wasn’t until he was under the cover of a broken masonry wall that he signaled
his all clear on the com.
Derrick Armstrong, aka Strong Man’s signal followed a few
seconds later.
Fifteen seconds passed, then fifteen more. Cutter.
Where the hell was Cutter? Shit!
Derrick broke radio silence. “Cutter’s a no-show.”
Every nerve in Doc’s body went taut, prickles of concern
racing over his skin, all his attention on the building. How the
fuck could Strong Man’s voice be so calm?
His commanding officer, Lieutenant Hawk Yazzie, replied over
the com, quiet, controlled. “Cutter, come in, over.”
Silence.
“Last location, over?” Hawk asked.
Derrick’s tone remained flat. “Ground floor. I thought he
was right behind me.”
Greenback, Oliver Shaker, the teammate protecting their back
door cut in, “Five minutes.”
A slight movement diagonal from his position drew Doc’s
attention. He focused on the spot, and the NVG-green illumination picked out a
shadow shuffling along the side of the building just behind some scrub. A guy
with a Boonie hat hiked himself up over the edge of the window, his hat fell
off, and his hair, light in color, shone in the odd, greenish glow. Was it
Cutter? Why the fuck was he going back inside the building?
“I’m going back in for him, over,” Hawk’s decisive voice cut
through the silence.
No. If it was Cutter climbing inside the building… Maybe…
Why the fuck would he go into a building set to explode? Was it Strong Man? If
it was, why hadn’t he acknowledged he was entering the building?
He needed to say something to rescind Hawk’s decision. He
needed to break radio silence and see if it was Derrick. He needed to fucking
do something.

Navy SEAL Zach
O’Connor was dumped while he was deployed on a high-risk mission, and the
fallout from the breakup nearly cost him his career. Never again will Zach allow
his feelings to make him lose sight of what really matters. Not even when his
attraction to Piper Bertinelli makes him long for the very thing he’s vowed to
avoid.
Violence and
heartache have nearly shattered Dr. Piper Bertinelli’s life, and the last thing
she needs is to be attracted to a military man scheduled to deploy. Though all
Zach wants is a distraction instead of a commitment, Piper is unable to resist
the charismatic Naval officer. He makes her feel safe, something more seductive
to her than him being a SEAL.
When an
overzealous policeman from Piper’s past comes after her, Zach has to make a
decision: walk away from the woman who's cracked the shell he built around
his heart, or stick by her and possibly risk his career.
And there are
other hurdles to face: the family who drove Piper away, but whose
secrets may hold the key to understanding why her father was killed. And someone
who’s a greater danger to Piper’s life than an angry cop. The man responsible
for it all.
More News
October 19th I'll have a novella titled Have Wand, Will Travel releasing. It's part of Robyn Peterman's Magic and Mayhem Kindle World. I loved writing this. It starts out in my own imaginary town of Superstition Kentucky and moves to Robyn's Assjacket, West Virginia. It's funny and snarky and I'm totally in love with my vampire hero.
I'll be sending out another newsletter later with an excerpt and links, but for now here's the blurb:
A soul-sucking wand, a witch, a vampire and a hellhound.
‘Nuff said.
Private detective and gifted witch Zaira O’Shea has built her
reputation on her ability to always find her relic, magical device, or man.
When the Witches’ Council hires her to find and return a stolen wand, she can’t
refuse, and she’s eager to recover the device. Until the clues lead her to a
vampire with fallen-angel good looks, and talents that don’t require a bite to
lead her into temptation.
History professor and vampire Christophe Bakas has brushed off his
cat burglar skills to steal a powerful wand for the Vampire Council, but only
because they are holding his uncle hostage. When he meets Zaira, he hopes he’s
found someone who’ll help with the rescue. But from their first teleportation
he’s hooked on more than her flying skills.
The more they learn about the wand, the more Chris and Zaira
believe neither council can be trusted with the dangerous device. With both
councils closing in, they’re forced to go on the run. Only the vacationing Baba
Yaga can make sure the wand isn’t used to destroy the careful balance between
witch and vampire kind. If they can find her.
Assjacket, West Virginia here they come.

avoid going to prison. With time running out and life or death at stake, Maya has
to choose whether to follow her head as she has always done or to trust her
heart this time.
KaLyn Cooper
Here's a short excerpt:
“Hello, Kat.” Those two words, soft and
seductive, hit her like a jet blast, searing and overpowering.
She wanted to run to him and have him
hold her like he should have done when they buried Ty.
She wanted to smack the shit out him
because he hadn’t been there when she needed him most.
She wanted to cry in his arms and have
him comfort her.
She wanted to cut him to the core with
her words and actions, making him hurt as much as he’d hurt her.
In the wave of reactions, Katlin
realized that she had overwhelming emotions for the first time in three years.
She felt…something…everything…as sensation poured into the void that had been
left cold and empty far too long. Since the day they had stood in Arlington
Cemetery and said goodbye to the man who had been best friend to both of them.
The man she had loved, and trusted, longer than he had deserved.
She should have known Alejandro’s mere
presence would do that to her. Standing casually before her was the only man
who could infuriate her to violence one second and stir her passion to the edge
of orgasm in the next.
Stunned by internal war, she stood
there.
Speechless.
And naked.
