Already the ARCs went out and I really hope readers will enjoy Alma and Sawyer’s story. The paperback will be delayed because it took me forever to get things started and my cover designer won’t work on it until next week. But one thing’s pretty sure: I think I’m ready to let go and hand it to the universe.
Don’t forget to pick up a copy from your favorite retailer!
Excerpt
Alma sits in the front passenger seat this time, with a clip-on mirror on the sun visor allowing her to check on Tyler who is yawning as I get on Interstate 40. From here it’s four more hours before we get to Taos. We talk about music for a while before she turns quiet again, propping her bare feet on the dashboard as she leans back in her seat. Before long, she’s asleep, the neck roll cushioning her head against the window.
The deafening pop comes half an hour later and smoke and remnants of the rear tire go flying behind the trailer. A shudder reverberates through the SUV just before the vehicle veers to the right. Behind me, the trailer swerves precariously toward the second lane, the car behind me swerving just in time to avoid us. I ease on the brake as best as I can and make my way toward the shoulder, my knuckles white against the steering wheel.
Everything would have been fine but as the SUV slows to a stop along the side of the interstate, I might as well have been on the edge of some Afghan’s farm with my unit seconds before Smith stepped on the IED, the smell of blood and sulfur filling the air. And instead of Alma’s startled gasp, I hear the shouts of my fellow Marines as we do what we can to get out of the line of gunfire and RPGs.

Best of luck with this. Hope the paperback is ready soon and jumps off the shelves.

Thanks! The paperback won’t make it on real store shelves unfortunately although I might as well start with this book by using Ingramspark and not an Amazon company which won’t put it anywhere else lol
I’m afraid I’ve lost steam today, which is why there is no excitement over this book’s release – and also I’m still getting rid of the remnants of a cough/cold. It’s like, just get it out there and be done with it kinda feeling, and moving on to the next book which happens to be secret pen’s. If anything, it feels good to be done with this book that took forever for me to write half the number of words I normally write in a third of a time LOL
