Kindle Unlimited is the best way to find new writers…. Truly!

By Leave a Comment

FREE Everywhere!!

Even though I’m an author, I’m always on the lookout for new writers and new series’ because I love to continue reading about enjoyable characters and unique plots that aren’t always about the same ole thing.

In my own work, I’ve noticed constant comments that people like my Undercover FBI series because each book is a stand-alone story with a completely dissimilar set of conflicts. I know my humor is also a plus as well as the fact that I put a lot of action in each story and readers complain they can’t put the books down.

Yess!!

Makes me feel as if I’ve done my job.  One that I try very hard to perfect.

Having Amazon set up the Kindle Unlimited program is also a huge plus for me. Almost all of my books are available there, and the three that aren’t are free and offered in all popular venues.

Truthfully, I take pride in knowing that folks aren’t just buying my work, but they’re actually reading it. I can tell by what they call the pages-read column I see each month on my royalty payout. It’s heartwarming and a huge thrill to know that my books aren’t buried in someone’s Kindle or phone. I mean they are – of course, I know that… but many are also being enjoyed. And hopefully, once finished, the reader is drawn to the next book and the next…

***Most of the Undercover FBI Series is also available in Audible format.

Come on now… is climate change really REAL??

For many years I’ve had this ongoing discussion with neighbors, acquaintances, and friends, and many have argued that what’s been happening in our world is just the normal cycle of the planet’s climate. That we’ve always had changes in our weather, and maybe we shouldn’t freak out over this natural occurrence.

Me being a stubborn… ahhh lady 😊 I would make a rude sound and get right in their face, reminding them that being interested is not… “freaking out”.

Seriously!!??

I’d point out that having a record of ‘this or that’ is fine, accepted, and not something to worry about. But when the last 18 out of 20 years show a total rise in normal temperatures, pretty much across the globe, then to me… that is a TREND. And a trend is not something we want to see happening this quickly. If these weather changes were to occur over hundreds, even thousands of years…. No biggie. Right??

But that’s not what is happening, is it? These changes have been transpiring much faster than even our maligned scientists have predicted. They said there’d be consequences. They warned us.

And they were right. It scares the living bejesus out of me. Oh, not so much for myself as I’m in my twilight years. But what about my son, my daughter, their kids, and those beautiful little babies being born in the world today? Who’s going to protect them? 

Who’s going to keep our world safe for them?

My son says I’m Mrs. Doomsday. He’s probably right. But I have a heat pump in my house and when our temperatures hit the unfamiliar high ranges again this summer as it did last year… and when he comes over to cool off, I’ll remind him of my fears. 😊

Mrs. Doomsday – bah!!

In my book called “Dear Hottie” I couldn’t help myself… I did add in a weather anomaly just because they’re…. well…. real!

A series that readers continue to love!

I’m thrilled to see my series called “Her Sweet Revenge” still selling as well as it does today.

I think having the first book FREE is probably a lure for the readers. And having the wonderful reviews that this book has collected really helps.

I know when I first started to write Retaliation, I truly fell in love with our heroine, Cassidy Santino. I totally enjoyed watching her grow stronger, discover the humor she previously didn’t have the nerve to reveal and discover the fighter that, until now, she never knew existed. Not until she sees the mob kill her twin. The horrible night when she freezes and doesn’t stop the heartbreaking murder from happening. That’s the last time she lets her fear override her will.

From that moment on, she slowly begins to change until she becomes the strong woman every one of us wishes we could be.

After taking a bullet for her, gorgeous Detective Trace McGuire can’t stop himself from caring. Then he sees her fight. And realizes there’s much more to the shy woman he first met. No doubt, this dynamo will do as she vows … get every last slimeball who killed her brother. And… God help him… he’ll be there to pick up the pieces.

Some of my favorite reviews!

A Gripping Series About A Sister’s Quest For Justice~

“When Cassidy’s twin brother is shot and killed by a gang member, she’s devastated, and becomes obsessed to identify the murderer and seek justice.

But to do this, she needs to be stronger, transforming from the good girl next door into a fearless fighter who puts herself in danger time and time again. Trace McGuire is the detective who’s assigned to solve her brother’s murder. Although the last thing he wants are complications in his life, he finds himself drawn to Cassie, but deeply concerned when she continuously risks her life to seek the truth.

Sparks fly when they decide to work together, and Trace finds himself wanting to protect Cass while falling for her hard. But they each have trust issues, and there are times when they withhold information from each other.

If you crave action, thrills, mystery, amazing characters—and of course captivating, sizzling romance—you’re going to love this series!” Reviewed by ~ Tammy

One of the coolest heroines I’ve ever read about!

“I confess I am a sucker for tough, kicka$$ heroines, and Cassidy made me think immediately “Damn, I want to be like her!”. I loved this story because it has everything: romance, suspense, mystery, thrills, and a good dose of humor. Not to mention Trace, the hot detective who manages to be a hero even when this heroine can take care of herself. Great read!” Reviewed by ~ A.M.
