1. Hi K-lee, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions.

Hi-ya, AJ. Thanks very much for inviting me. Stares a half-nekkid cabana boys. A cocktail would be lovely. How about a Rootbeer Paralyzer? I’m Canadian so I’m not sure you’ll have one of those on hand. It’s a regular Paralyzer but with Rootbeer Schnapps instead of vodka or tequila. Tastes like a Rootbeer float. Yummy.

2. It sounds divine, K-lee! I believe I’ll have one too! My questions might get a but stupider though… What is your favorite swimwear? Do you favor bikinis, one-pieces or are you a secret skinny dipper?

Ha! How about one of those old-fashioned one-pieces that cover you from head-to-toe? I love the water but in this phase of my life I’m not a fan of bathing suits. Of course, if it’s dark, I’m all for doing dipping the skinny.

3.  I knew it! I knew it! You’re a naughty girl!! What would be your favorite beach read? (not your own of course…)

Hmmm. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. That’s one of the only male/female books I still read over and over. Mmmm…Jamie Fraser. In the m/m genre, it would be the Home series by TA Chase or Bareback by Chris Owen – both faves.

4. If you could have any accent in the world, which one would you choose?

I love accents. I think I’d go Irish or Scottish. I can’t choose between the two because they’re both awesome.

5. I can hear you rocking a Scottish accent! So, imagine you’re stuck on a deserted island after a three-hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.

My dad died when I was 6 months old so I’d love to get to know him. My other answers are a little more scandalous—Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans, Oscar Wilde, Christian Kane, and can I cheat and lump my three kids into one answer? You don’t want to deprive them of meeting their grandpa, right?

 No! I couldn’t do that…and hey…I have tears in my eyes. Who’s been cutting onions??

My fantasy castaway meal would be sushi—easy to find by the ocean, right—with paella, and prime rib, with jalepenos on the side and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Sounds like a very odd combo but delish! Lol.

K-lee, it sounds delish to me. Thanks for stopping by and for being such a good sport. I love your choice of cocktail by the way. I’m sipping my third and I can’t feel a thing. I am in bliss!

Blurb

Loveland, Colorado is a special place all year around, a community of creativity and art, with scenic views and majestic mountains. But the town really shines once a year, on Valentine’s Day.

Lucky Roberts has lived in Loveland his whole life. He has good friends, strong family support, and is all about keeping his community fun and alive. The only thing Lucky has been “unlucky” with is love. But rather than avoiding February fourteenth in his hometown, he throws himself into helping others deliver their messages of love.

Enter Jack Canon. Jack moved to Loveland for a fresh start, in both his personal and professional lives. After a tough year, he’s finally hoping to just blend in, maybe carve a little niche for himself that his parents would have been proud of. What he didn’t expect was a pseudo-lumberjack with a killer body and shy smile to turn his world upside down – and he sure didn’t expect to like it so much.

When Lucky meets Jack, he feels like a thirteen year-old with his first crush. He’s clumsy, stammering, and the first greeting out of his mouth is a less than articulate, “Wow!” Words like adorable and manbun suddenly become part of his vocabulary as he discovers a deep, hidden need to romance the hell out of Jack.

And what better way to do that than during the most romantic season in the City of Love?

Excerpt

Lucky hadn’t known what to expect.

And that was a bold-faced lie.

Okay, so he might’ve asked around about the new teacher in their community, specifically the hot new kindergarten teacher he’d been hearing about, and also might have caught partial glimpses of the guy here and there. But after he’d stomped the excessive snow from his boots, he still hadn’t expected an angel with an adorable ponytail to open the door to room one-O-five at Loveland Elementary.

Maybe he hadn’t been lying after all.

Wide brown eyes greeted him and Lucky was immediately smitten. “Wow. Um, hey. I’m…yeah, hi. I’m Lucky…Roberts. I’m here for the…uh…” He stammered across consonants and vowels that felt garbled and heavy against his tongue. Then, because he was who he was, he followed the nonsense with a single syllable of amazingly stupid. “Wow.”

Embarrassment rocketed through him as he slid his hand over his head, tugging off his knit hat. He rubbed nervously at his short hair while heat tingled from his neck to his cheeks.

“Jack Canon.”

The guy came across as cool as a cucumber. His only tell was an almost-contained smirk as he held out his arm.

Lucky shifted all his ridiculous plastic bags to his left hand and shook Jack’s right with a little too much force. He was aware that his palm was slick and clammy despite the chill of an early January morning.

Jack didn’t appear to notice that either. He really was a goddamn angel in black jeans and a wine-colored dress shirt that brought a shining brilliance to his pale skin and dark hair. Jesus, man. Say something!

“Lucky,” he finally managed. A billowing laugh he couldn’t stifle in time slipped past his lips.

He quickly shushed himself because, Jesus Murphy, he was in a school during damn school hours. This wasn’t his first rodeo. He’d been here before, volunteered all the time, even at this same school. He’d also seen pretty faces before. He could do this.

He cleared his throat, shoving his sweaty hand deep into the front pocket of his jeans, then ducked his chin to his chest. Once he’d also pulled his head out of his ass, he settled his gaze back on the most beautiful man he’d ever seen. “I mean that’s my name, not that I’m lucky or whatever…I already told you that, right? Jesus, I’m sorry.”

“Hey, no worries—” Full lips curved into an affectionate smile. At least Jack didn’t seem inclined to kick Lucky off the premises for breaking the rules of stupid, even the ones mastered by five-year-olds.

“Shit, I swore—and I just did it again. In school. Maybe I should go out and come back in again?”

Jack chuckled, one side of his smile tipping higher than the other. It was adorable.

“It’s all good. The kids have been excited all morning.”

“I’m not late, am I? I’m usually quite punctual. Or at least, that’s what my mom says. She’s obviously a little biased on the subject, of course, but…I don’t usually talk so much.” Keep babbling, Lucky, because that will make everything so much better.

“Why don’t you just come in instead?”

“That’s a lie. I actually never shut up. My mom says that, too.”

Once he’d ultimately managed to zip his lips, Lucky let Jack shuffle him inside the cloakroom of the classroom. It smelled like warm cookies and white glue, though he wasn’t entirely sure that wasn’t just Jack, or even Lucky’s own imagination. They were two of his favorite smells, after all, or had been at one time. He was suddenly aware of high-pitched voices drifting from the main part of the classroom.

“Mr. Jack! Mr. Jack! Is Lucky here yet?”

“His mom told my mom he was coming today.”

“Your mom doesn’t know everything, Daniel.”

“Yeah, she does. Your mom doesn’t know nothing, Allison.”

“Well, your mom is a poopy-head.”

“Your mom eats poopies—”

Bio

K-lee Klein has lived in one part of Western Canada or another for her entire life. She’s a doting mother of three now-grown kids, and has had characters and plots running around her head for as long as she can remember. In an attempt to avoid major writer’s block, she keeps the image of muse on her leg so he can’t run off too far, unfortunately it doesn’t work all the time. K-lee’s days consist of planning her next tattoo design for her growing collection, having a lot of baths since her muse loves the water, and fighting off an abundance of fabulous gay men, large and small who continually bounce off the walls of her skull, competing for their turns to tell their stories.

Among her favourite sub-genres to read and write are rock stars, cowboys, shifters, friends-to-lovers, and opposites-attract relationships. But to be honest, she’s open to almost anything if it involves messing around in the heads of her characters. She’s also big on series—because she has a hard time letting her characters go—and is usually working on a handful of stories in various stages of completion all at the same time.

TIKI TIME! AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: JULIE C. GILBERT – WIN A FREE KINDLE EBOOK!

 

 

Aloha Gang!

We have Julie C. Gilbert, a returning author here for this week’s Tiki Time Author Spotlight. She is one super-cool, super-brave wahine!!

Aloooooha!

Her new book, Revenge Makes it Sweeter, book 3  in the continuing “Defining Moments” series is (Part of best-selling author Toby Neal’s Kindle Worlds Lei Crime series) is out and burnin’ up Amazon! You can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Lei-Crime-Reven...

Or you can post a comment here to enter the draw to win a copy of it!

And now here she is answering more crazy questions.

1.  Hi Julie, you are back for a second round of interviews you brave soul! Is root beer still your drink of choice since I remember you said you don’t drink alcohol. I’ll have the cabana boys pour one for you while I ask you some really stupid questions.

A root beer will be fine. Thank you. Yes, ma’am. That is correct. I generally try to avoid things that make me faint, and I’m not overly fond of the taste of regular beer either. Ha, you spoil me. Every time I come, I get treated like royalty. Must be nice to have cabana boys working for ya.

2. It really is. I get jealous of myself sometimes! Now… If you had a third eye, where would you put it?

I think that would be weird, but if I had such a choice, I’d like it to be on my left hand. That way, I could get a better perspective and use it like a periscope. The common answer might be the back of the head, but that would confine the eye to things behind you and on a certain level. A hand has more freedom of movement.

3.  I’m keeping an eye on your left hand! If you could have any accent in the world which one would you choose?

British. Definitely, British. I know those can vary too, but a light, refined British accent would be awesome. Some of my characters have that accent, so sometimes I think that way, but it’s not the same as being able to use it for real.

4. You are now working on a Christmas book for the Lei Crime series. Where is this story set and does it feature Marcella again?

Christmas Makes it Chaos is my 4th Lei Crime Kindle World story. After Never Again, which features a young Michael Stevens, I moved on to working with Marcella Scott, and I haven’t looked back. Yes, Marcella’s the star once again. This adventure takes her up my way to Pennsylvania. For reference, that’s the state left of where I live in New Jersey.

This time around, Marcella starts out intending to go to an anti-terrorism conference and ends up in the middle of a real terrorist plot. It’s not finished yet, so I couldn’t even tell you how she does it, but we all know she’s gonna whoop some bad guy behind and save the day.

5. Since I already asked you last time about a desert island meal I’ll round out things by asking you this: Where is your favorite place to go on a weekday afternoon when you have no plans or obligations?

If the weather is nice and warm, I enjoy going down to Coldstone (an ice cream joint) or Starbucks and getting a strawberry mango smoothie or an iced coffee, respectively. Both are within walking distance of my apartment. There I shall soak up the sunshine and fresh air and catch up on my sorely neglected reading. Otherwise, I’m content to write in my room with a cup of tea. That’s enjoyable too.

Thanks again for chatting with me. I look forward to catching up on my Lei Crime KW readings, including your works. Bye.

Thank YOU Julie!!

TIKI TIME! AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: J.L. OAKLEY – WIN A FREE KINDLE EBOOK!

Her richly detailed books have been widely acclaimed, as well as ripping up the Amazon sales ranks!

You can post a comment here for the chance to win a FREE copy!

Aloooooooha!

But today we are gonna ask Janet some incredibly stupid questions about the writing life and COCONUT ISLAND, which is one da kine, really amazing addition to the Lei Crime World created by the talented superstar author Toby Neal!

1. Hi Janet, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean irrelevant. no, no, I mean important questions.

It’s funny, but I’m such a cheap date that I don’t drink many cocktails – too much alcohol, but lately my favorite drink to have at a bar is a really good ginger beer, non-alcoholic, with a nice kick. 

 2. What was your favorite toy growing up and do you still have it?

I come from a family that saves things so I was taught to care for my toys. I loved horses and dolls. I still have my collection of plastic horses that were inspired by the Black Stallion books and Ginny dolls. My Ginny dolls came with  a wonderful kitchen set with working sink, a refrigerator which has a light that goes on when you open the door and a stove (non-working), dresser, dining room table and armoire.

3.  I adored Ginny dolls too! Now, if you had a third eye, where would you put it?

Having a third on the back of my head would be disorienting. I think right in the middle of my forehead would work. There I could read things far away and tiny scribbles up close. Some sort of light source included.

4. You write historical tales. What is your favorite era in history? If you could go back in time, who and where would you want to be?

I am very interested in the Civil War period probably due to my great-grandfather. W.F. Osborn who was a surgeon in the Union Army at Gettysburg. It’s a very interesting time from the 1850s through the 1860s almost everywhere in the USA—including Hawaii. But I also love the Great Depression and WW II. The period right after that lends to some great storytelling and you see more post-war showing up on TV as lives and technology changed. 

  But in all honesty, I’d love to go back to my great-grandmother’s time when she came West in the 1862 (she was 12) and homesteaded all over the territories. She finally ended up in Idaho. Civil War and post Civil War lives of a wonderful woman, my mother’s grandmother, all the way into the 1950s at 101.

5. Wow. You are so interesting! Wish I could ask you some intelligent questions instead of foolish ones…anyway… You’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.

My great-grandfather Marquis de Lafayette March, a Civil War vet who homesteaded in every territory in the West; my late husband Rolf, a Vietnam vet and all round handyman, baker, and hunter; my mom for musical entertainment, and some means to get my critique partners with me so we can continue our readings.

The best castaway meal would be a pig with special sauce in imu pit, pineapple and other tropical fruits, rice, wine coolers and key lime pie. I supposed I could change my mind, but this will do.

 

COCONUT ISLAND Synopsis:

Memories are dangerous. 

Investigative reporter Wendy Watanabe is no stranger to mysteries, but can she handle one steeped in her own family’s history? 

A box of letters from a WWII soldier stationed on the Big Island is found at the Hilo Historical Society and unlocks painful memories for Wendy’s Great Aunt Bee. 

Bee’s older sister was swept away in the 1946 tsunami, but now Wendy suspects she was murdered first. As she delves into the mystery, Wendy meets a group of nonagenarians who were at the USO center on Coconut Island during the war. One is a hero. Another is a cold-blooded murderer. 

When the threat turns to Bee, Wendy seeks the aid of Detective Leilani Texeira and together, the women race to catch the killer before he claims another life.

 EXCERPT:

…Kord was giving me so many mixed signals, or so I thought. Sometimes he reached out to me, then pulled his hand away. I was certain he was staring at my mouth in a hungry way. I sure as hell wanted him to kiss me. He smiled at me a lot. Maybe he was being kind, but I felt certain we were on a date. When he took me to his own home, I didn’t think I was wrong. His beach cottage sat right on the reef, and I was stunned by his uninterrupted view of the ocean.

Kord’s life seemed to be straight out of my childhood. Everything on the walls and sideboards was found art. He’d discovered gigantic shells, sea glass balls, bleached pieces of driftwood that almost looked like antlers. He’d even made a hammock out of an old fisherman’s net.

He showed me his home office, which took up most of the space. He pointed to the garage. “That’s where I build stuff.”

I had a sense he didn’t bring many people here. I almost felt glad I didn’t see any chick stuff. His home spoke of a solitary existence.

“Take a seat.” He pointed outside. I swung in one of the aged rocking chairs on the lanai as he brought me a beer. Longboard. My favorite.

“You had a recent breakup, too,” I said. “Isn’t that what you told Marcella?”

“Sure. It never works out for me with women.” He scowled.

“Why’s that? You’re a great guy. Handsome, hard-working—”

“Thanks. That’s part of the problem. I love to work.”

The words swayed between us like a coconut palm. “I have a hard time with women because…because…”

He didn’t finish the sentence. He didn’t want me to know he was bi. I sensed he didn’t want to give me ideas. It was okay. I didn’t need any. I was too busy licking my own wounds and couldn’t have handled any confusion.

When he dropped me home and kissed me on the lips, I felt my spirit and my body reacting.

“Have a great night,” he said, then watched as I let myself inside Dad’s house.

As I closed and locked the door behind me, I felt something shifting. I couldn’t explain it as I leaned with my back against the blue stained-glass mermaid and felt her coolness seep into my hot skin.

Aaaahhh…something had changed. Something good. I touched my lips. We’d had a great date. No, not a date. He was being kind.

So why did he kiss me?

We’d had a swell time. A gentle time. I hadn’t had such a sweet evening with a man in a very long time. When I’d cleaned my teeth, I fell into bed. I could almost feel his dark hair on my face, his lips on mine. I tasted salty tears. Yeah…something was changing. I didn’t know what.

I dreamed of fishermen’s nets, mad laughter, and mud.

At around three o’clock in the morning, I awoke from a strange dream.

No. They were not coming back. I wouldn’t allow them to come back. Not the dreams. Not those ones. I closed my ears to the voices whispering…

Remember…remember…

I worked very hard to forget. To think of nothing but the soft press of Kord’s lips, wishing for more. So much more…

TIKI TIME! AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: PATRICIA LOGAN – WIN A FREE KINDLE EBOOK!

 

 

Aloha gang, today we are meeting a totally awesome and amazing author, PATRICIA LOGAB, whose numerous male-male romances have been steaming up Amazon – in multiple languages! She has a new release called UNFORESEEN DANGER and it’s a fantastic Hawaiian-Los Angeles mystery that’s part of the Lei Crime Series created by best-selling author, Toby Neal. This Kindle World Novella is out now and you can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017AB33WI/r...

OR

You can post a comment here for the chance to win a FREE copy!

Aloooooooha!

But today we are gonna ask Patty some incredibly stupid questions about the writing life and UNFORESEEN DANGER, which is one da kine, really hot read!

 Hi Patti, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some totally stupid, I mean important questions.

Well, it used to be red wine but I don’t drink much anymore so these days, I’d say it would be a virgin Bloody Mary, extra spicy J

 

2. If you could use a Barbie doll as a voodoo doll, who would you hurt and what would you do to them?

Oh, man, I’m a lover and not a fighter but if I had to choose, I’d probably say my friend, Kage Alan. He’s an amazing author who writes comedy with gay characters and some of the funniest dialogue you’ve ever read. We’ve known each other for many years and love to poke fun at each other when we get together. It might just be fun to be able to poke him for real. lol

 

3. If you could have any accent in the world, which one would it be?

Wow, I love accents. This one is really hard to decide. Maybe British. I grew up loving British comedy shows. I’m a sucker for a great comedy and the Brits just have such a dry wit, I want to die from laughing. From Benny Hill to Monty Python to Mrs. Brown’s Boys, I love it all.

 

4. You write a lot of BDSM you naughty girl. What’s the wickedest thing you ever did with a man?

RuhRoh, now you’ve let the cat out of the bag. LOL. Long before I ever began writing it, I was dating a cop. This man was a hot, tough, handsome guy with a big (ahem) gun. One night he decided he wanted to share this big secret with me so he stuck me on the back of his motorcycle and drove me to an adult bookstore where he got some “supplies”. When we got back to his place, let’s just say he pulled a couple of interesting toys out of the bag and showed them to me. When I protested, saying that there was probably no way those were going to fit in any spaces I was comfortable with, he responded that he wasn’t planning on using them on me. He wanted me to use them on him. Needless to say, the man was a big ‘ol submissive. Imagine that. A big tough cop by day and a total and complete submissive in the bedroom. I understand that psychological need now but thirty-plus years ago, it was a shock to my system and I’ve never been able to look at a police officer with a straight face since.

 

 You’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.

Let’s see. This may surprise some folks but the first one would be my dad. My dad was a WWII Navy veteran and one of the most brilliant men I ever met. He was incredibly accomplished, publishing two books the year he died at 85 and being one of two men who invented the first rudimentary “black box” for aircraft. He held almost 20 patents and worked on the original Apollo missions. He could build anything out of nothing so I think my stay on the island would be short. He was just like the original “Professor” from Gilligan’s Island.

  Second, I’d want Ellen DeGeneres. She is one of my favorite comediennes and she’d keep us all in stitches.

  Third, I’d want my daughter, Sasha. She’s sixteen and still that perfect age when she’s about to become a young woman, looking forward to the future with a child-like hope and enthusiasm for the future and yet also still innocent of most of the evil in the world.She’s also brilliant and a great thinker and wise beyond her years for a child her age.  I nearly lost her to a brain tumor at eleven so I am grateful for every moment I get to spend with her.

  Fourth, I’d want Freddy Mercury from Queen so that he could sing to us.

  Fifth, I’d want Mel Brooks. Besides being a brilliant comedian, producer, and director, he has amazing stories that are among the most highly entertaining, I’ve ever heard.

Finally, sixth, I’d want to share the island with Matthew Bomber, just to give me some blue eyes to gaze into every day. Oo0 la la.

  As for my castaway meal, another tough one since I love to eat all types of ethnic food. I’ll say we’ll do Persian since my husband is Persian and his mother taught me most things. We’d start with Dolmeh (stuffed grape leaves), plain yogurt, and fresh sabzi (fresh tarragon, basil, and mint leaves). For our appetizer we’d have AsheReshte (a variation of noodle soup made with garbanzo and red beans). Our main course would be Barg (a combination of ground beef and filet mignon kebabs) served with ZereskPollo (White rice with a fried bayberry and onion). For dessert, Bastani (custard ice cream made with rosewater and pistachio). Finally, to drink, Dugh (Yogurt selzer ß really good on a hot day)

Unforeseen Danger by Patricia Logan is available now exclusively on Kindle Worlds…

SYNOPSIS:

Kaua’i Detective, Jack Jenkins, has just settled into married life with his new wife Anuhea and he loves his job in the laid back island paradise. When he hears his brother Lane, an undercover LAPD cop, has gone missing while on assignment, he flies to the mainland to help locate him.

Jack immediately rubs Lane’s partner Brennan the wrong way. Brennan has no need of his help, and he fears his intrusion will put Lane in even more jeopardy. Jack is not easily swayed when it comes to protecting family and when Bren finally realizes he’s not going to be able to shake the tenacious detective, the men vow to find a way to work together.

As Jack plunges into the unfamiliar world where Lane’s gone undercover, from the biker bars of the Inland Empire to the gay bars of West Hollywood, he uncovers evidence that perhaps Lane has more secrets than he’s been prepared to face.

With unforeseen danger lurking around every corner, Brennan and Jack form an uncommon brotherhood with one goal, taking down the bad guys… while getting Lane out alive.

(Unforeseen Danger takes place after Rip Tides, Book 9 of the Lei Crime series)

Aloooooooha!

But today we are gonna ask Laurie some incredibly stupid questions about the writing life and HOAKA MOONSHINE, which is one da kine, really hot read!

 

1. Hi Laurie, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions.

 A margarita with the best quality tequila you’ve got. I’m picky that way.

2. You can be picky. We have excellent tequila. Now. Do you write naked?
Never. I have a fourteen-year-old son who walks through here periodically, usually with friends.

3.  If you were about to be executed, what would your last words be?
Adonai eloheinu, adonai echad

4.I had to Google that and I feel guilty now for asking you the naked question *hangs head in shame* adonai eloheinu adonai echad is a Hebrew prayer meaning The Lord is our God, the Lord is one. Now, getting back to stupid, which is what I do best… If you managed to escape execution but ended up stuck on a deserted island, what books would you want to have on hand? Excluding your own of course?
A Jewish book of prayer, a Hebrew/English Bible, and a Bible concordance

5. What? And none of my books??? Kidding! Now… You’re stuck on the deserted island after your uber-pilot forgets to come back for you. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.
 First off, I don’t think I’d want to be marooned with a dead person. If I choose people I like, I am dooming them to a terrible fate? Or maybe this is supposed to be a fun fantasy, like Gilligan’s Island. So let’s go with: my husband David for obvious reasons, Rabbi Aronowitz to lead us in singing and prayer and lend an overall spirituality to the situation, the rabbi’s wife so he won’t get lonely, and Kerstin and Nelson Lampert for their good company and general survival skills. And, since dogs are people too, I want my dog Sage with me.

My fantasy castaway meal: Coconut water to drink, coconut meat, mango, papaya, lychees, and pineapple. Hopefully Sage will survive on an all-fruit diet.


Thanks so much for being such a fantastic sport, Laurie!



HOAKA MOONSHINE is available now on Amazon – here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016P3A5XC/r...

Synopsis:

When Dee Maltin bought the little beach cottage on Maui, all she wanted was to leave her memories behind. Now, fifteen years later, things are starting to go awry. Why does everyone else deny hearing the feral cats that keep Dee awake all night? What’s the smell that permeates her house no matter how much she scrubs? Why does her strange neighbor, who hasn’t spoken to her in all these years, choose this moment to strike up a conversation? A woman shows up at Dee’s door looking for her birth mother. Is she a con artist, or just deluded? Dee searches for answers and is soon over her head in one big Hawaiian-kine mystery.



Book Excerpt:

          It started as a low moan, then rose to a raspy chorus that might have been born of intense pleasure, or pain.
 “Danged cats,” I said under my breath. “They’re enough to wake the dead.” I rubbed my arms, trying to shake off the chill that shot down my spine.
Nai‘a ignored me. The little black and white terrier’s eyes were locked on the screen door. Her hair bristled, her lips quivered as they pulled back to reveal sharp fangs. She let out a low growl. This was more than the indignant yapping she reserved for the neighborhood cats.
A glance at Simon told me he hadn’t heard it. He lay sprawled across the couch, headphones firmly in place, engrossed in that online game he liked to play till the early morning hours.
As I shut the front door and turned the deadbolt, I caught a whiff of something slightly foul. How long had it been since Simon last showered and put on clean clothes?
 “C’mon, Nai‘a girl,” I said. “Time for bed.”
“Ma! Open the door!” Simon demanded. “I already sweatin’ like one pig.”
He took a swig of beer and slammed the bottle onto the coffee table. His hand slid into a bag of Cheese Puffs. He shoveled a handful into his mouth, wiped orange crumbs onto his shirt, brushed them onto the couch. All without taking his eyes off the laptop. His version of multitasking.
Nai‘a trotted down the hallway, looking over her shoulder to make sure I followed. She knew the routine.
I locked the bedroom door behind us and started to undress in the dark.
“Ma!” The thin wall did nothing to muffle Simon’s yell. “I told you, open the door!”
I didn’t answer and he couldn’t be bothered to keep on yelling.
The closed room was stifling, but I made sure the sheet covered every inch of my legs.  Nai‘a curled up beside me.
It wasn’t five minutes before another drawn-out yowl brought Nai‘a to her feet. A warning rumbled in her throat.
The cat had to be right in our backyard.
“It’s okay, Nai‘a,” I whispered. “It’s just a cat.”
But if I didn’t know better, I’d almost swear it was a baby crying.
Nai‘a lay down and pressed against my side. She tensed at every noise.
The ceiling fan whirred above me. Its tick-tick-tick sounded like an old-fashioned wall clock marking the seconds, while the cats carried on outside.

OR comment on this post to enter the draw to win a FREE kindle copy!! Yeah….ALOHA!

1. Hi Terry, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions.

I used to love Pina Coladas as my umbrella drink of choice, but I’ve got Celiac, which means rum is off the table. As such, my drink of choice would be a margarita unless the cabana boys can’t guarantee it’s made with tequila from the agave plant. If I decide the cabana boy doesn’t have the tolerance or knowledge to deal with my questions about how he’ll mix the drink, I’ll just go with a glass of red wine.


2. Hey, our cabana boys can make ANYTHING! So, are you a beach goer? If so, what do you wear? Boardshorts? Speedo? Or do you frequent the nude end of the beach?

Seriously? A speedo—on the beach? Yikes! When I’m swimming laps—which I do—that’s one thing. But a speedo on the beach is not my thing.


3.  Who do you know that is most likely to have been abducted by aliens?

I’m pretty sure a friend of mine, his name is Brae Wyckoff, was abducted at some point. You see, his license plate when fully spelled out is Jedi Brae. He has to have been abducted and spent time on an intergalactic cruiser because he writes fantasy about a foreign world. There’s all sorts of magic and swordplay and stuff like that. How could he write such a detailed story unless he spent time with little furry guys and stormtroopers? Who would think up that stuff if they hadn’t been there? If you don’t believe me, check him out at braewyckoff.com.

4. I will! Now, back to you. If you could have any accent in the world, which one would you choose?

Oh man, which accent? That’s tough. It would probably come down to Spanish or Southern. I’d like Southern because they get to use all those “ya’lls” and talk real slow, which is great when you get older because it gives you more time to think up the next word. Spanish would be cool, too, because I could probably adopt a “smouldering stare” or “fiery eyes.” Then again, that sounds pretty tiring. Maybe I’ll just go with Southern. 


5. You’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal

The trouble with questions like this is you always wonder who’s going to get cranky because they got left off. Well, here goes anyway. I’d start with Thomas Jefferson. My first question to him would be, so what really happened when you were over in France? Number two would be Benjamin Franklin. I’d have a bunch of questions for him, including, what was your secret to picking up so many chicks? My third choice would be Rene Russo. I want to see if she’s really still that sexy in person and watch old Ben drool all over himself because this would be my party and not his. For my last three, I’d pick writers I’ve done interviews with: Sue Grafton, Ace Atkins, and Phillip Margolin. All three seem very down-to-earth and I’d love to talk books, writing, and life during our little cruise. As for that castaway meal, I’d choose something that doesn’t let anyone get too pretentious—barbecue chicken, corn on the cob, and potato salad. We’d probably top it off with something decadently rich—chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate.


Tough Choices: A Hawai’i Parkour Adventure Book 1 SYNOPSIS:

Marty Fitch might be living in paradise, but he’s operating in a world where lies are the norm, retribution is swift, and danger lurks around every corner. With the police on his trail, a killer hunting him, and a friend’s life in the balance, Marty must choose his next move carefully. Otherwise, his new career as a crime-fighting video blogger might be over before it starts.

Tough Choices takes place during Black Jasmine and Shattered Palms. The story brings Pono to Honolulu for a temporary assignment on an interagency drug task force.



EXCERPT:

 

CHAPTER ONE

 

“Kaiko Fitch here,” I whisper into the mic. It feels good using the name I’ve adopted since arriving here in Hawai‘i. “I’m streaming live video from the rooftop of the old five-and-dime on Kalākaua. You’re witnessing a sting operation being run by the Honolulu Police Department on a midlevel drug dealer, Damien Villa. The man HPD wants to arrest could be the key to much bigger fish in the Hawai‘i drug trade.”

The sun is incredibly intense on this rooftop, but I’m not about to miss this story. I peer through the video camera lens, see one undercover cop dressed in an aloha shirt, then another looking more sinister. “SWAT has been staging two blocks away on a side street. The detectives are in position. When the hammer comes down on Damien Villa, the traffic will go into total gridlock. And that should be happening right—now.”

Nothing happens.

“For some reason the guy who was making the delivery backed off, folks. Kaiko Fitch, doing surveillance on a live drug sting.” I resist the temptation to close with my real name and the personal tagline I enjoyed so much on the mainland—Marty Fitch, one creative son-of-a-bitch.

What’s holding things up? I know things happen on island time, but I didn’t think drug dealers worked that way. The sting should go down any minute. Soon, it has to be soon. In the interrogation room, Villa won’t stand a chance against Pono. It might take awhile, but he’d eventually realize midlevel flunkies were too far down the food chain to do anything other than cooperate.  He’d have no choice but to do his time or turn on the higher ups. He was one thing only to all parties—expendable.

The smart money says my cousin Pono will flip him in less than an hour. Pono’s that good at his job. This takedown could be a big break. It might even get him out of the shadow of Lei Texeira. She may have been his partner, but she’d gone on to bigger and better—the FBI, in fact—while Pono had been slotted as someone to pass over.

Movement on the street below breaks my train of thought. “Here we go, folks. It’s happening.” My voice is nothing more than a whisper. I don’t want to give away my surveillance. “This doesn’t look good. One of Villa’s men just showed up and is talking to his boss. Whatever he’s saying, it looks pretty hush hush.”

Villa nods. The man who spoke with him circles his finger in the air. The men break ranks. “Villa and his men are heading for their trucks…They’re so nonchalant. Oh my God, they’re leaving. This is a terrible blow to HPD. They’ve lost the arrest. There was no deal. It could take months of surveillance to recover from this terrible blow.”

“Honolulu Police! Freeze!”

I whirl around. Four HPD SWAT vests, one from the FBI…and guns, lots of guns.

Lei Texeira is marching toward me with her gun drawn. What the hell’s going on?

They’re all decked out in body armor. They look pissed. Why are they aiming at me?

TIKI TIME! AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: SHARITA LIRA/MICHAEL MANDRAKE – WIN A FREE KINDLE EBOOK!

Aloha Gang! We’re hanging out this week with author Sharita Lira, who also writes as Michael Mandrake. She’s gonna talk to us about her new book On The Run; Book One of the PROTEKT SERIES - check out the link here: https://www.pride-publishing.com/book...

We’re giving away a copy for free to one lucky commentator! Not only that, but she answered some really stupid questions!

Oh, lordy, it’s Tiki Time!

 

Hi Sharita, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions.

Sharita: Hi AJ, thanks for inviting me. Ooh I love a good vodka cranberry and I’ll also take one of those cabana boys to go. Shh, don’t tell hubby!

What is your favorite swimwear? Do you favor bikinis, one-pieces or are you a secret skinny dipper?

Sharita: Okay, I have to admit, unlike my very saucy online persona, I’m very shy. If I wore swimwear I’d do a one piece. I’m quite sure only hubs wants to see this body partially clothed. *winks*

What would be your favorite beach read? (not your own of course…)

Sharita: Of course not. Hmm, I think I’ll choose the Southern Scrimmage Series by Mercy Celeste. I have yet to read the last one, but I’m sure I will love it because I adore that woman and her writing.

If you could have any accent in the world, which one would you choose?

Sharita: Well that’s easy. I love the Brits so I’d chose a British accent. My muse is a British gay man so, if I had that I could talk properly.

You’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.

Sharita: Wow, six? Um … *thinks*

Jimi Hendrix

Jesus

Kurt Cobain

Trent Reznor

Anne Rice

And just for eye candy sakes, Nick Bateman. He sounds like an intelligent guy, but I dunno what he’d say that’s more interesting over this group of people. *laughs*

  Fantasy meal? Er, let’s do a Mexican feast with tacos, enchiladas, and nachos. Yes, I am a simple gal. *smiles*

 

On the Run: Book One of the PROTEKT SERIES

Living a double life is very dangerous…

Even more so when higher authorities and military agencies are envious of the position you hold and the money you make.

In the life of a PROTEKT agent, intelligence is key and the knowledge of guns must be second nature. Their sole mission—to get the job done swiftly with little mistakes. They’re paid well to handle all situations and hired to do things their own way, often disregarding the laws. Chief Wes gives them this freedom because being ruthless is usually required to finish the job.

When the world’s governments have run out of options, they request the assistance of PROTEKT to handle the situations no one else is able to solve. Only one thing could stand in the way of the agents success—his or her own desires for permanent companionship.

Tagline: Who would’ve thought that a British hit man would fall in lust at first sight with an American felon? This desire could become deadly for both.

Blurb: Aiden Moriarty is a Florida ‘herbalist’ who developed a performance enhancing drug many athletes have used. One of them is baseball star Ivan Salerno, who was caught using the drugs and is now on the brink of getting suspended. Because of Ivan’s connections with a rogue mob boss, Aiden is taken into a witness protection program, working along with baseball higher ups until he testifies.

The mob boss, Augustine Ora, has hired former British military officer and his best hitman, Devlin ‘Brit’ Crawford, to do the job. Ora has instructed Devlin to go to Miami, kidnap Aiden and take him to the local airport to be transported to Havana ,Cuba, to be executed by Ora’s top officers.

However, when Devlin receives the email, the pictures of the blue-eyed felon catch his eye and he is moved to go in a different direction. Instead of delivering Aiden to the airport, he has thoughts of taking him away and saving him from Ora’s wrath.

This move puts him, Aiden, as well as his assistant Miranda Ashley in huge danger. Will Devlin keep Aiden safe despite the odds or will he fail, causing Ora and his men come after him?

Excerpt

“Um.” Aiden cleared his throat, hoping Miranda didn’t have a quick trigger finger. “I know it’s a risk what you’re doing—a huge one—but I can make it worth your while. I really can. And, uh, after the talk we had in the car—”

“You were thinking we could have something, hmm?”

Aiden swallowed hard and looked down at his feet. He clasped his hands together as if he was praying for something. “We could if you don’t deliver me to Ora.”

“Aw, isn’t that so cute, D? The American is begging you to spare him. He’s so adorable. Don’t let that overweight sonofabitch win, yeah? You need someone and hell, you’ve been saying how much you’ve wanted to get away from Ora for a while.”

“True, very true. See, Aiden? It’s not really all about you. My bird is right when she says I need a chap in my life. However, my reason for keeping you away is more about being a rebel. I haven’t been happy with the way Ora does things for quite a while. Additionally, I’d like to see that cheater Salerno go down in flames, because I don’t really like cheaters.”

“Neither do I,” Aiden responded.

“But you helped these men get ahead with drugs so, obviously, you take no real issue with it.”

“Yeah I do.” Aiden laughed nervously. “I just wanted to do something different and make some cash.That’s all. Hey, if you keep me alive, you can help me expose him and Engel, too. I’ve got no doubt the guy may be working for Ora—or even Salerno.”

“You might be right there, but the question still remains…” The man walked closer to Aiden, still mostly naked. He dragged his finger over Aiden’s forehead and twirled one of his curls around the tip. “Is the cause to bring a cheater down and have a good-looking American on my arm worth my life and the money Ora has offered me?”

Aiden’s eyes met his kidnapper’s deep brown gaze. His breath caught in his chest while he got lost in the man’s heated stare. His heart thumped against his ribs and his cock, already hard, strained in his underwear.He stuttered, “I-I’d say, yeah.”

He raked Aiden’s hair away from his eyes. “Of course you would.”He flashed a pearly white smile and swiped his tongue over his lips.

Dear God!

Watching Brit’s sexy gesture, Aiden’s erection grew more. If this man didn’t have a pistol pointed at his temple, he’d grab Brit and plunge his tongue down his throat.

“Miranda, let the man take a bath and get ready to move. We’ll be going to Miami very soon.”

Just that statement caused Aiden’s erection to deflate, and his heart sank. The thought of his impending doom made his gut twist in ways he couldn’t explain.

Miranda clicked her teeth and frowned. “But, D?”

“Now, Miranda. No buts, right? This is my life on the line for someone I don’t even know. Like I said, I can get a real nice bang at home for what he’s paying me. And you never know—something real might come out of that, hmm?”
