Hi! I’m Christopher Craven–Romantic Suspense Writer

160 Views

Good afternoon everyone! I’m Christopher Craven, writer of romantic suspense. I grew up the scrawny middle child in a semi-liberal family residing in Phoenix, Arizona. From the time I was able to write my own name, I knew that I was destined to write for the world. Thank God for my mother, who handed me my first adult novel in junior high. I strive to become a prolific name in the literary world. Preferring to write erotic romance that explores the love between kindred spirits and Romantic Suspense, I also enjoy barefoot strolls along the beach but can most often be found roaming the Eastern Colorado plateaus when I’m not writing.

So, how did I get here exactly? Well, it’s a funny story actually. You see, I share a space with three women”¦yes, women, and their muses. Together we make up a team called Wicked Muses. I didn’t start out with Wicked Muses, I was sort of “found” by them a few months ago. After stretching and growing a bit, they were looking for a fourth and thought that adding a man to their world of romance seemed like a good idea. Thanks girls for accepting me and welcoming me into your world! We were all talking one night and JL, our resident tell it like it is girl, thought an anthology was well over-due from the four of us and we began to brainstorm. Force Recon””Beacon Bayou was born. Then our editor at Rebel Ink Press liked our idea so much, it turned into a series. Yes, there will be more to come about our hunky marines and sailors.

Now I’ll admit writing military romance is a bit outside my box as I’m a suspense type of guy. In fact, the first thing that Rebel published for me was a short story you can find at ARe entitled The Bystander, which is a prequel to a series I’m developing about a policeman named Joel McNathy and his boyfriend, a reporter named Kenton Korvel. I’ll be sharing a bit more about these guys a bit later today. Military romance””yes, a new sub-genre for me. I had a blast learning so much and I gained a lot of respect for the uniformed men and women that keep us all safe and allow us the freedom to do what we love””write without fear of retribution. Thank you armed services personnel!

My part of the anthology rotates around Regan, a former Hollywood model who’s just trying to fit in. He’s the youngest of the group and has developed feelings for another member of the team that he’s having trouble processing. Then a tiny little problem from his past comes home to roost. I’ll also be sharing an excerpt later today about Corporal Regan Maxwell.

Thanks CTR for hosting me and us as a team. And thanks readers for coming out to support everyone here. Hope you all enjoy yourselves today and keep watching, Force Recon never backs down!

Dead Man's List by Karen Rosehttps://bit.ly/4hb0uhj

On a long-anticipated second date with police psychologist Dr. Sam Reeves—right as things are getting steamy—Kit stumbles across the mutilated body of a local San Diego politician. The man was loved by many of his constituents but is hated and reviled by many more. That the suspect list is long surprises no one, but exactly who ends up on it stuns Kit and her team.

As the SDPD reveal the victim's sinister dealings, Kit and Sam are forced to navigate the closely guarded world of the city's richest and most powerful citizens to find answers. But time is rapidly running out, with their sources of information dropping like flies as the killer methodically eliminates loose ends—and anyone else who stands in the way.

Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybournhttps://bit.ly/3DgiWY6

Four women assassins, senior in status—and in age—sharpen their knives for another bloody good adventure in this riotous follow-up to the New York Times bestselling sensation Killers of a Certain Age.

After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are called back into action. They have enjoyed their time off, but the lack of excitement is starting to chafe: a professional killer can only take so many watercolor classes and yoga sessions without itching to strangle someone...literally. When they receive a summons from the head of the elite assassin organization known as the Museum, they are ready tackle the greatest challenge of their careers.

Someone on the inside has compiled a list of important kills committed by Museum agents, connected to a single, shadowy figure, an Eastern European gangster with an iron fist, some serious criminal ambition, and a tendency to kill first and ask questions later. This new nemesis is murdering agents who got in the way of their power hungry plans and the aging quartet of killers is next.

Together the foursome embark on a wild ride across the globe on the double mission of rooting out the Museum’s mole and hunting down the gangster who seems to know their next move before they make it. Their enemy is unlike any they’ve faced before, and it will take all their killer experience to get out of this mission alive.

The Love Simulation by Etta Easton
https://bit.ly/4btSDuf

Brianna Rogers has been told a time (or six) she needs to stop jumping into things head first. But when the principal rescinds his approval for a library upgrade, deciding to spend the money on a football field instead, she sees red. Literally. Brianna throws her hat in the ring and joins a team of teachers who will spend their summer in a Mars simulation. As the sister of an astronaut, this should be easy, right? What she didn't count on was the last-minute addition to the team—Roman Major: science teacher, son of the principal, and too handsome for his own good.
 
Roman and Brianna have been hot and cold all year, and living in close quarters intensifies their animosity and attraction. Brianna is sure he's been sent by his father to sabotage them, foiling their chance at prize money that will cover all of the school's actual needs. But each day, Roman proves himself to be a dedicated teammate—and Brianna finds herself falling harder and harder. While it's clear the feeling is mutual, she can't shake the sense that he's hiding something. As the simulation nears its end, Brianna realizes she may have to make an impossible choice, between the school she's dedicated herself to, and the man who has won his way into her heart.

Chapter One

What is it called when you know someone is playing in your face but you still manage to sit there and maintain your composure?

Etiquette? The height of professionalism? I've got it-a superpower.

When I took on the role of vice principal at Juanita Craft Middle School nine months ago, I knew I'd have my hands full with rowdy students and entitled parents. The years I spent as a guidance counselor prepared me for that part of the job. It's taken a while, however, to get used to the teachers trying to butter me up whenever they want something they know I can't give, and Angie's been the main one out to test my patience.

Angie, Angie, Angie. Out here trying to get me to break school policy. Again.

I push my braids behind my back and suppress a sigh. "It's true. In the grand scheme of things, one chair won't ...
