For Hire, Hot SEALs

Stay at Home Binge Read Excerpt

How about a binge read excerpt from one of my backlist books? For this post, I chose to focus on the evolution of one of my Hot SEALs series characters, Zane Alexander, He started out as a bit of an alpha-hole during his intro as a side character in NIGHT WITH A SEAL (currently free on all platforms if you don’t have it). But by the end of his book, SAVED BY A SEAL, his softer side shows and like all good alpha male heroes, he falls for the girl. But did you know, that’s not the end of Zane’s journey? He and Missy have a second book–SEAL THE DEAL–where they might (or might not. No spoilers here!) get married. Zane also appears as a major side character in his old prep school chum Brent’s book, HOT BILLIONAIRE FOR HIRE, in his office assistant Chelsea’s book HOT CHICK FOR HIRE, and in hot British MI6 operator Tristan’s book HOT SPY FOR HIRE. In “Spy” you get a flashback of Zane and his team’s early SEAL days. As for cameos, Zane appears at least briefly in almost all of the Hot SEALs series books, but did you know, he has a walk-on appearance  in my Silver SEALs […]

How the death of a tv show inspired a novel

The inspiration for one of the plot lines in Hot SEAL, Dirty Martini (which is on preorder for a Sept 18th release) was ABC’s cancellation of their daytime cooking and variety show, The Chew. One of the Chew hosts posted on Facebook, “As you may have heard by now we found out today this is our final season of The Chew.” Watching the show on TV the day it was announced and seeing the shell-shocked faces and restrained tears in the eyes of the three co-hosts coming on-air live that day as they had to function in front of the cameras and a studio audience–it made me want to explore that story and those feelings more. As a writer the best way to do that was through the eyes of one of my characters. It happened that I was about to start plotting a new book so the timing was right and so Tasha Jones, daytime talk show host, was created. Want a peek into a scene from the book? Here it is! Hot SEAL, Dirty Martini (SEALs in Paradise) by Cat Johnson TV talk show host Tasha Jones is flying high, until one word–CANCELED–sends her crashing. Now she’s looking to resurrect […]

Or that it could cost me my life. I’m Brent Hearst, for God’s sake. A member of the one percent. As in old family money. Yet somehow I’m standing here, smiling while there’s a gun strapped to my leg ruining the line of my Italian suit. But my real issue isn’t with that gun. Oh, no.
