A Killer Summer with Kate George
Killer Summer
Okay this is my dirty secret: Summer time is the best time for crafting villains. I get so cranky in the heat, and then there is the yearly home renovation project that doesn't exactly make me a pleasant person to be around. We live in a nearly two hundred year old farmhouse. Even the simplest project turns into a major nightmare, and that turns me into a two-headed monster.
So I hit the keyboard and create jealous sisters and self-serving soap stars with secrets. I put them in...

DEADLY FEAR…psst…a new excerpt!
Happy Friday!! Yes, Friday! The weekend is nearly here!
Today, I want to share a new DEADLY FEAR excerpt with you. It will help you get to know my hero and heroine a bit more. Hope you enjoy it!
"So…are we gonna talk about it?"
Monica froze at the deep voice. Her notes were spread in front of her, the shade on her window firmly closed—because she really hated to fly—and with only about ten minutes left on the private flight, it looked like Dante had decided to get chatty.
Great.
"I mean…we're...

Romantic Suspense–Take Me To The Movies
So yesterday I asked folks to tell me their favorite romantic suspense novels (and thank you for the fabulous responses!). Today, I'm wondering…what's your favorite romantic suspense movie? (One commenter will win a $25 AMC Theaters gift card–you can go out and see another great romantic suspense!)
Body Heat with Kathleen Turner has always been one of my favorites, though it's not, ahem, technically a romance (and if you've seen it, you know why!).
Another one that really appealed to...

My favorite romantic suspense novel is…
Oh, this is hard. Recently, I was asked to name my favorite romantic suspense novel. Tough question. Because, you see, I have a few favorites…
One that always springs immediately to mind for me is Linda Howard's DREAM MAN. Loved this one, but it's not straight romantic suspense. The heroine is psychic, and she literally gets into the mind of the killer. (Since I am such a paranormal fan, I–of course–adored this plot element.)
Another book that was dark and gritty (and at the time the hero...

Update…What You Can Expect
Hi, everyone! I hope you have been enjoying my Deadly Days of Summer. I've had fun checking out all the posts and reading the comments. :-) I want to thank all of the guest bloggers who have come and shared their stories (and those who will be coming over the next two weeks). And I'd like to offer a big THANK YOU to everyone who has visited my blog for my summer event.
Today, I thought I'd do a brief interruption of the Deadly Days so I could tell you about the events that would be coming...

Men & Their Cars
Thank you so much 
to Cynthia for letting me join her Deadly Days of Summer party! And congrats on her recent release, I'll Be Slaying You! I recently joined the same local RWA chapter she belongs to and let me tell you, she's just as fabulous in person as she is online!
Since she's awesome enough to host a two month long party, I figured the least I could do is offer a giveaway of one of my books. Next Friday, Power Unleashed, the third book in my Miami Scorcher series releases. It's got...

The Dog Days of Summer or Surviving the Summertime Writing Blues
Thanks to Cynthia for the invitation to be part of her Deadly Days blog. I'm Becky Martinez but I've been writing for the past six years under the name of Rebecca Grace. After several years of writing romances I am now specializing in romantic suspense and mystery. My newest book, DEADLY MESSAGES, was released in February by The Wild Rose Press.
As I tell everyone when they ask why I moved from romance to suspense, well, the truth is I just had to do it. While I love writing and reading...
