Goodreads Giveaway!
Hey!
I'm doing a giveaway for Jett Landry: Urban Legend, here on Goodreads. Check out the link below to enter. Or you could you read it for free right now on Kindle Unlimited. No need to wait.
https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Urban Legend is the second book in the Jett Landry Saga. There has been a major political shift in Port City, and in Texas, and Jett finds herself isolated from her friends and without her family. While she's trying to put her life back together and figure out where she stands in this dystopian new world, there is a human trafficking problem running rampant in the counties north of Port City, and no one is safe.
There is also a rumor that a mysterious woman on a motorcycle has been rescuing women taken prisoner by this trafficking ring and the bad guys are powerless to stop her. Some say she's a trafficking survivor out for revenge. Others believe she belongs to a reclusive cult that lives deep in the woods. But there are some that remember that young woman who won all those karate tournaments, whose parents died in a violent shootout in Port City, leaving her as the only survivor.
Jett Landry, Urban Legend is non-stop suspense and action. It's a character study of Jett Landry as a young adult, dealing with the pain and trauma of her past. Urban Legend is the story of friendship and loyalty, and how far friends will go to sacrifice for each other. Check it out!

Long Time, No Blog!
Hey!
What's up? Thought I would check in and say hello. I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving and are looking forward to an exciting Christmas and NYE celebration.
I've been working hard on the next novel in the Jett Landry universe. Nine Lives, a Jett Landry story will be the second book in the Witness series. Under the Gun, A Jett Landry Story, was the first book. I don't have a release date yet, but we're making progress. I'm working the amazing artist, Micky Mitchell, on another creative and powerful cover. This is going to be a fun, exciting book, and I want all the details to be just right so all my friends here on Goodreads will enjoy it.
Meanwhile, if you haven't read Under the Gun, A Jett Landry Story, this is a good time to get caught up. Under the Gun is a fast read and the story moves. It's s a thriller with an old-school film noir vibe.
On a personal note, it means a lot to me that so many people have read these books, written reviews, rated the books, and reached out to me. I can never thank you enough, but I will try by writing and publishing more books in the Jett Landry Universe for you to enjoy.

Hey!!! Long time, no blog.
How is everyone? Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support of the Jett Landry Saga. Under the Gun, a Jett Landry Story, is doing well and the first three books (The Fuse, Urban Legend, and The Fierce Warrior) continue to have steady support from readers. The sequel to Under the Gun, the second book in the Witness series, is in revisions as we read (when I finish typing this blog, I'm going to get back to work on that). This book is Nine Lives, A Jett Landry Story, and it picks up where Under the Gun left off. Jett goes to New Orleans, makes a new friend, and a bunch of new enemies.
I recently did a book giveaway here on Goodreads for Under the Gun and there is currently an ongoing giveaway for The Fuse. You can read all of the Jett Landry novels for free on Kindle Unlimited, if you don't want to wait.
Anyway, enjoy your week, and keep enjoying the stories and I'll keep writing them.

Under the Gun, A Jett Landry Story, is out and available for purchase. Under the Gun is a new beginning for Jett and her friends in Port City, Texas. Jett has taken over the Private Detective business, Angelique is her assistant, and Melinda is a lawyer. Tanya lives in New York, and she is an investigative journalist.

Jett Landry: Under the Gun
Hey!
Coming soon, a new Jett Landry Novel. "Under the Gun" should come out sometime this summer. I'm very excited about this book. It's a noir style mystery that takes Jett on a wild ride through Port City and beyond. The cover art looks fantastic so far, and I'll post some pics here soon. I also feel like this book is a good entry point for the Jett Landry story. While there are three books before it, you can enjoy this book even if you hadn't read the first three Jett Landry novels. Either way, it's going to be a thrilling page-turner that you won't want to put down.
Also, as a reminder, I'm donating half of what I make on the Jett Landry books to humanitarian relief for the people of Ukraine.
Freedom Texas, Y'all and Slava Ukrainia!

Freedom Texas Y'all!
The story behind the Jett Landry Saga is that there is an authoritarian movement in Texas that mirrors a global authoritarian movement that Jett's dad, private detective Markus Jackson, was working to uncover and expose. This sets the stage for the story of Jett's struggle to make things right (trying to avoid spoilers) and the parallel story of her friends, who create a movement to restore freedom to the people of Texas. "Freedom Texas Y'all" becomes a popular refrain on social media and on a viral podcast that unites people in the struggle against the authoritarian government and their abusis. It makes for a good story, but there are real-life struggles for freedom all over the world.
Because there is an ongoing humanitarian disaster going on in Ukraine due to Russia's indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian cities, I have decided to donate half of what I make on this book series to the Odessa Foundation in Odessa, Ukraine through the GlobalGiving organization. The Odessa Foundation provides food, shelter, medicine, clothes as well as psychological support for families living in war zones.
If you don't want to buy a book to donate, or if you already bought the books, google GlobalGiving and look for the Odessa Foundation.
GlobalGiving is a portal for finding local charity organizations trying to help people in need. There are a lot of organizations that need our help worldwide as there is no shortage of problems that need our collective help to address.
GlobalGiving has a four-out-of-four-star rating with Charity Navigators and 98% of what you donate goes to the people who need it.
In the spirit of Melinda and Tanya's Underground Resistance in the Jett Landry Saga:
"Freedom Ukraine Y'all!"

Jett Landry: Under the Gun
Hey!
Just wanted to drop a note and let you all know that I am currently working on the next phase of the Jett Landry Saga. As of now, it's going to be called Jett Landry: Under the Gun. I'm having fun exploring a film noir feel to this book. It's a mystery/adventure/thriller and it kicks off a whole new series with a new story line. I'm bringing back many of your favorite characters and I'm introducing some new characters to the Port City universe.
I've also been on Zoom with Micky Mitchell, artist, who created the covers for the first three Jett Landry novels. She came in with some great ideas/concepts that are going to look great on this next cover. A lot of cool stuff happening. I'll share more as it happens here.
Have a great evening, morning, day, etc.

Hey Friends!
We're a few weeks into 2022. I hope all of you are doing well, staying healthy and enjoying yourself. I want to thank everyone who's been reading the Jett Landry Saga on Kindle Unlimited. It's been a really good run since The Fierce Warrior was released. I hope you enjoyed the story. If you haven't already, please leave me a review here on Goodreads and on Amazon. I enjoy reading what you think about these books. Your thoughts are important to me.
Anyway, I'm working hard on the next trilogy. About to start working with Micky (artist) on the covers soon. I love the images she creates. She really brings Port City, Jett, and the other characters to life.
Lots of work to do, but I wanted to say thanks, again, for going on this journey with me. If you enjoyed the books, tell your friends about them!
