Spotlight & #Giveaway Dancing With Detective Danger by Lynn Crandall

Image
Uncovering secrets and exposing truth are all in a day’s work for private investigator Sterling Aegar. But when her latest case threatens to reveal her own buried feelings for an old love, Sterling runs for cover. A body in the bathtub and pleas from a jilted wife to find her wayward husband mean a welcome break from the usual humdrum cases Sterling and her sister, Lacey, are called to investigate. But when Sterling’s old flame, Detective Ben Kirby, walks into the murder scene, she feels her world spin out of control. Danger from thugs and murderers poses no greater threat than the peril she’d suffer if she lets daredevil Ben get too close. Seeing Sterling for the first time in two years is for Ben like drinking in a healing tonic. He could never forget the way it felt to run his hands over her delicious curves or the way she touched his soul. She remains the one person who can make the emptiness in his gut go away.

Interview & #Giveaway for Taming Johnny by Kaylie Newell

I'm so happy to have Kaylie (one of my writing pals) here and talking about her latest release, Taming Johnny . What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I worked as a police records clerk for close to ten years.   Some of the officers could be a little grumpy.   (Okay.   A lot grumpy.)   It’s a really stressful job and that stress tends to show itself when you least expect it.   But underneath their harsh exterior, was usually a big old teddy bear.   Johnny is a culmination of a lot of the men I worked with.   When you got to the bottom of all that alpha male-ness, they were kind, funny, protective and sweet.   Perfect romance heroes ;) What was your favorite part of writing this book?  Finishing it! This was a doozy as far as difficult books go.   I told my editor it was exactly like Johnny himself- fighting me every step of the way.   But I’m so glad I didn’t give up.   What a ride!   Johnny Street is now one of my all time favorite heroes.

RWA 2013

I'm heading off to RWA Nationals in Atlanta in less than two weeks. Haven't been to a writers conference since I attended RWA Nationals in San Francisco about five years ago. Had a great time then and am hoping to have a great time and learn a lot this year as well. I'll only be there for two of the three days (missing Friday to pick my daughter up from camp one state over). Anyone else heading to RWA Nationals or any other writers conferences this year?
