Secret Desires by J L Regen
I wrote Secret Desires because I truly do believe that  everyone deserves a second chance at love. I have a friend  whose father just remarried. He was a widower for many years and  found love again.

He also inherited grandchildren whom he loves like his own.

It can happen for divorced, widowed, or never married but spurned when young.

I`d love to have your views on this important topic.

Great news: My book is now in German.

Taken by the Valkyrie by Megan Slayer
July 5, 2024

Kara is tired of her role as a Valkyrie, not that she has much choice. Being a Valkyrie is her identity. It’s in her blood. But she can only witness so much death and destruction. Her faith in humanity has waned. Until she meets Eric.

Eric, a retired Airman, is just as tired. He’s seen things he believes no one else would understand. Then he picks up Kara and his world is turned upside down. She’s the one he never saw coming and the one he can’t live without -- if only she can handle his past.

The past might not be more than they can overcome, but what if these two warriors are exactly what they each need?

“Don’t you dare get attached.”

Kara folded her arms and groaned. She’d heard that line so many times through the centuries. What did attachments have to do with her? She wasn’t about to hook up with anyone long-term again. She’d made that mistake once and nearly paid with her life.

Not again.

Brynhildr glared at her. “You’re not listening.”

Kara snorted and shifted her attention from her thoughts to the elder Valkyrie. “You’re right. I’m not.” She mentally repeated the rules -- Valkyries are duty-bound, not permitted to form attachments, should stay free and vigilant.

Fine. Except she didn’t want to be on duty any longer. The job had become too dangerous. She’d long tired of the blood, the gore, the anger. She’d retrieved so many warriors from the field of battle and delivered them to Valhalla, but she could only take the devastation for so long.

“I don’t like you getting into scuffles in bars.” Brynhildr shook her head and leaned her elbows on the high-top table. “You’re looking for trouble. What do you have? A death wish?”

“What if I do?” She picked at the peanut shell remaining in the bowl. The bartender needed to replenish the snacks. When the monster came back around, she’d say something.

Bear (Grim Road MC) by Marteeka Karland
Available July 12, 2024

Olivia: I’ve been sent to infiltrate Grim Road -- specifically looking for any information to do with the man they call Bear. I didn’t expect to jump into the man’s arms on the first try. I also didn’t expect to feel an illogical sense of belonging and safety when he whispered in my ear, “You’re safe.” My deception will probably get me killed. I’m not a damsel in distress, at least not how they think. But I think Bear knows I’m lying. He just doesn’t seem to care.

Bear: Yeah, I know the girl’s lyin’. I also happen to believe she has a good reason. If I can get her to trust me, then I can make her demons disappear. But trust is hard-earned. Even if I earn hers, can I trust her after she started out with lies? Do I really care if she’s lying as long as she’s mine? Trouble’s following this girl. And it’s headed straight to Grim Road.

WARNING: Bear includes scenes of graphic violence and adult situations including those that may be triggers for some readers. There’s also a protective hero, a determined heroine, and an eventual happy ending. No cheating, as always.

Bear

I hated venturing out into the city. Always made me feel like there was a target on my fucking back. My true identity was buried so deep even facial recognition software couldn’t find me, but since I’d been in my twenties, I’d spent my life running. The government saw to that.

What I thought was a service to help my country turned into a killing spree on the order of genocide. I’d disobeyed my orders but ended up on a Terminate with Extreme Prejudice list. Rocket, the closest person I had to a friend, had brought me to Riviera Beach, Florida, where I’d taken up with the motorcycle club, Grim Road. The club’s history was long and distinguished in hiding men like me. I’d been here ever since.

It was nearly midnight on a Saturday. The streets weren’t exactly ...

Stephanie R. Caffrey
Welcome, today we are talking with Stephanie R. Caffrey! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let`s delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about yourself that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I was born and raised in Southern California before moving to Iowa for college. I met my husband my first semester and decided to stay here.

How long have you been writing?

I’ve been writing since I was about nine years old, but seriously writing original fiction since about 2010.

What have you found most challenging about it?

Mostly finding the time to actually sit down and write.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional?

Writing is a lot of fun. I love sitting down at my computer and allowing characters and worlds just spill from my brain into the document. Seeing these characters come to life is amazing.

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule or do you have to be in the mood?

I wish I could be a more disciplined writer, but because I’m a mom of two kids and I work full time, I mostly write whenever I can find time. Sometimes it’s during a break at work, or it’s at night after the kids go to bed. Fifteen minutes here, twenty minutes there. Whatever time I can get, I use it.

Did you go into writing thinking that it would be a hobby or a job?

I mostly wrote because it was a fun hobby. I wrote a lot of fanfiction, and it was a lot of fun, and I loved getting reviews from other people, so I decided to move that hobby into original fiction.

What inspires you?

My friends and family. I use a lot of them in the characters in my books.

Let`s move on and give readers some insight into your personal life.

 What are your pet peeves?

People who sit outside their house and rev their car or motorcycle engines.

 Who is your hero?

Elizabeth Warren
