A Prince Among Men: Prince Harry in Afghanistan

It was February of 2008. I’d written my military romance MODEL SOLDIER, set in Afghanistan, and as I watched the morning news, one story caught my attention. Britain’s Prince Harry had secretly been deployed to Afghanistan for 3 months. The news had just been leaked by the press and, now that he was exposed, Harry was being yanked out of the warzone. My writer’s brain was spinning. Can you say sequel? How perfect was this? I knew the Brits supplied air support to the forward operating bases where US and Afghani troops were stationed. A plot began to form–facts, wrapped in fiction. What if? What could have happened in this situation? That is the basis of A PRINCE AMONG MEN (March 2013) , the follow-up book to MODEL SOLDIER (Dec 2012) in my Red, Hot & Blue series, being rereleased through Samhain Publishing (originally put out back in 2008 by Linden Bay Romance). And how timely too, because as opposed to the climate in February 2008 when the 23-year old Harry was first, and secretly, deployed to Afghanistan (read about it in the Guardian), today, in 2012, the 28-year old Prince is in the news daily. Unfortunately, his presence is […]

What’s Next?

I’ve been getting questions about what’s coming next from me in my current series, so I figured I’d do a quick review here. I’ve grouped it by series, rather than chronologically. Model Soldier (Red, Hot & Blue, Book 8) is my next release. Coming from Samhain Publishing it is scheduled for December. You can read the blurb here. I’ve already proofed the final file so I expect it to be up on preorder any day now. I’ll let you know when it is. It is category length at approximately 54,000 words and will be released first as an eBook, and then as a trade paperback the following year. It is a standalone story featuring a new character as the hero, as well as an Army platoon in Afghanistan. However, the Task Force Zeta SpecOp characters you know and love from other Red, Hot & Blue series books play a role in the story. Though the story stands alone, you will want to grab the free 10,000 word bonus read BB DALTON to fully appreciate the back story of Model Soldier. It’s available free here at my site, from Amazon for Kindle, at KOBO, on Barnes & Noble for Nook, on […]

Military Reads for Your Memorial Day

Maybe it’s this holiday when we all take time to remember those who serve, or maybe it’s that I’m 80,000 words into writing a new book about a cowboy/soldier and I’m eyeball deep in weapons research, but this morning after the husband left for work I turned on the TV to find it was tuned to AMC’s War Heroes Weekend marathon. An old Henry Fonda WWII movie was playing–and I haven’t switched the channel yet. Hmmm…. In any case, for your weekend reading pleasure between the barbecues and celebrations, here are my hot contemporary military man offerings. Some are short. Some are long. Some are free (the free PDF downloads are BB Dalton, Fireworks, and The Soldier and the Siren). Some are in print. Some are only eBook. Some are sweeter. Some are much much hotter. ALL are for those 18 and over, please, but besides that criteria, there’s something for everyone!   Â
