Hot Alpha SEALs an Anthology
I've been working on a collaborative anthology with a wonderful group of writers and our efforts are about to be published. The presale button is up and running at Amazon!!! And I wanted to share the cover and the blurbs for all the stories in the anthology.
HOT ALPHA SEALS
Here are the blurbs!! I know you're going to be knocked out of your shoes. These are great!!
THE KISS OF A SEAL by Award-winning Author Anne Elizabeth — Jessa Grainger’s world is rocked by the kiss of a SEAL, SO-1 Link Tyler. It wouldn’t have been a problem for an ordinary person, but being a Navy Consultant and working on the Amphibious Base as well as being engaged to a SWCC man made the situation very sticky. But, what could she do? Link’s kiss woke something inside of her and he has singlehandedly changing her entire world.
NIGHT WITH A SEAL (Hot SEALS #1) by New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Cat Johnson — Ten years in the Navy taught SEAL Jon Rudnick one thing—he’s not afraid to risk life and limb for his country. But when navigating military red tape begins to present more challenges than the enemy it makes Jon question his future. So does Alison Cressly, the one woman he can’t get out of his head.
HOT BAYOU SEAL by Award-winning author Cindy Dees — Ford Alambeaux is a busted up SEAL on his way out of the teams. Trina Zarkos is being tossed out of SEAL training like every other female candidate…until they’re thrown together on a wayoff-book mission to see if she can play with the big boys or not. Will either of them—or their hearts—survive the hottest op ever?
DELTA: RETRIBUTION by USA Today bestselling author Cristin Harber — Fallen Navy SEAL and Titan Group’s Delta recruit Trace Reeves wants nothing more than a one-night stand to forget that his twin brother was killed-in-action. But when his one-time fling becomes his high value target, the lines blur between her rescue mission and saving himself.
WATCH OVER ME (An Uncharted SEAL story) by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Delilah Devlin — When Deke Warrick accepts an unsanctioned detail to keep tabs on a congressman’s niece while she vacations in the Caribbean, he expects the only dangers he’ll face are sunburn and a rum hangover. Determined to keep his distance, his resolve is challenged by a chance encounter with the beautiful Nicky Martir—and then shattered when she’s snatched from their hotel room.
SEAL'S OBSESSION (A Take No Prisoners story) by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Elle James — Tasked with finding and eliminating the source of terrorist pirate activities off the coast of Honduras, SEAL TEAM 10's Jack Fischer "Fish" goes undercover as a deck hand on a floating medical boat where he finds himself protecting and falling for the beautiful and dedicated Dr. Natalie Rhoades.
The SEAL (a Sex, Lies & Spies novella) by USA Today bestselling author Gennita Low — Mari Lords is tasked by her father to steal the seal that is an important clue in a round-the-world treasure hunt called The Game. The item is currently in the possession of a member of a secret society near St. Augustine, FL. Her opportunity comes during a party until she crashes into another kind of SEAL, named Angel Marcello. Ooops. Suddenly, Mari finds herself the hunted.
UNBREAKABLE SEAL by USA Today bestselling author J.M. Madden — Maxwell Tate fights against a psychotic dream world, his sense of reality warped until he no longer knows what’s real and what’s not. Lacey Adams knows she can’t save all of her cases, but Max appeals to her more than any other. Can she salvage the unbreakable SEAL?
MISTER BLACK by Award-winning author P.T. Michelle — We all have someone who crossed our path and fundamentally changed us. My person is MISTER BLACK. I didn’t know him by that name when I first met him, but the impression he left behind was just as powerful as the name I call him today. He is Black: a deadly enforcer and masterful seducer. I am Red: a justice bleeder and willing participant. When our secrets converge in a passionate encounter, stepping out of the shadows just might be worth the risk.
STONE HARD SEAL by Award-winning author Sabrina York — A hostage rescue mission turns Ryder “Stone” Maddox’s world on its ear when he comes face-to-face with his greatest fear: A woman he cannot resist. But he has to resist Lily Wilson. He’s vowed never to fall in love. Besides, as the daughter of a senator, she is definitely off-limits. Lily sees things differently. Irresistibly drawn to this hot, hard SEAL, she is determined to prove they belong together…and that her man does not have a heart of stone.
SEAL’S PROMISE by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sharon Hamilton —Special Operator T.J. Talbot, raised in a string of foster homes and nearly tossed from the Brotherhood, is forced to make a deathbed promise to care for his best friend’s wife and baby. At home, Shannon Moore wants nothing to do with the community or anything that reminds her of her fallen SEAL husband, until fate steps in to show her she is still connected and needs the love of this flawed warrior who shares her grief.
BREAKING TIES (a SEAL Team Heartbreakers story) by bestselling author Teresa Reasor — Navy SEAL Oliver Shaker is blindsided when he returns from a training rotation and learns that not only does his wife, Selena, have a life-threatening illness, but she’s also pregnant. The emotional and physical toll stretches the ties that bind their marriage to the breaking point. But as a SEAL, Oliver never gives up. And Selena proves valor and courage don’t just live on the battlefield, but in every person’s heart.
Happy Reading,Teresa Reasor

Spring Into Romance Blog Tour
Author and friend Morgan Hannah MacDonald asked me to participate in this blog tour. She writes two different series of some of the most heart stopping suspense books I’ve ever read. Her Spirit Trilogy includes SPIRITS IN THE TREES and SPIRITS AMONG US. Book 3 will be out soon. And her Thomas Family Series includes SANDMAN AND NIGHTSCREAM. You can check out her blog at: http://forromanceloversonly.blogspot.ca
What I’m working on right now.
I've just release my SEAL Team Heartbreakers Box Set: Books 1-3 on the first day of May. It's $6.99. So you get three books for the price of two.
Currently I have three projects going at once. But I’m concentrating most of my energy on my next SEAL TEAM Heartbreaker book, BUILDING TIES. It’s a novel about Tess Kelly and Brett Weaver. They’re getting married, but of course they have some issues to put to rest before they walk down the aisle. One major one is to find out who blew-up Tess’s car and why. And they are also dealing with some emotional issues. Tess has been offered a job with the Washington Post, her dream job, but Brett of course is a SEAL and he’s based in Coronado. A long distance relationship isn’t what either one of them want. But Tess is going to have to make some decisions. And Brett is going to have to deal with the knowledge that as much as she loves him, she’s tempted by the job and if she passes it up there may be moments of resentment that lingers in their relationship.
Here’s a sneak peak at the cover:
How does my work differ from others in the genre?
I believe I incorporate more actual battle scenes in my books than most authors who write Navy SEAL romance. And I try and write realistically the way things really are for the families they leave behind when they’re deployed and when they return home. There’s an adjustment period that always follows. For couples there’s usually a tug of war at first, because the wife is used to being in control and now hubby’s home and thinks he’s in charge. It takes a while for them to find a working rhythm again, emotionally, psychologically, and intimately. There’s some stress involved.
Why do I write what I do?
I write Military Romantic Suspense (Navy SEAL) because I think military men are hands down the sexiest guys on the planet. They’re alphas, buff, strong mentally and physically, driven, disciplined, and they float my boat. Forgive the pun. And the second reason I write what I do is because it comes so naturally to me. I seem to understand how military guys think and I know a little of the lingo. If you used it all, no reader could understand what the characters are saying because the military has so many acronyms in their vernacular. A few go a long way into making things realistic. And then I enjoy research about my guys. Really love it. I can get lost in it for days if I allow myself.
How does my writing process work?
I usually start out with the first chapter and the inciting incident because that after all is going to change my character’s lives forever and throw them deep into some kind of conflict. Then I have some idea how things need to end. And whatever comes between I work out so I’ll have a direction to travel with my characters. So I’m kind of a plotter and a pantser all wrapped up together.
I have interview sheets I fill out for my characters so I can get to know them before I start writing. And there’s room on there for an image if I find someone on line as my visual inspiration.
Then I fill out my storyboard. I don’t do a detailed outline on the board but a very loose one that includes my Stairway to Suspense.1ststep: The hook (the Call to Action.) 2ndstep: The decision that turns the story.The decision or choice the heroine/hero makes that turns the story in the direction it will travel. This choice is based on some character flaw that guides the character’s motivation for the choice. Romantic call to action. 3rdstep: The choice creates obstacles to solving the situation.First Kiss 4thstep: Another choice, More problems, situation worsens.First Time They Make Love5thstep: More choices ,more obstacles.The more choices a character makes, the more obstacles will fall into his/her path. Gray Moment6thstep: The climax.The greatest obstacles are faced and the greatest attempts are made to overcome the situation created in the hook. Black Moment 7thstep: The resolution. It’s short, sweet, and should tie up all the loose ends and leave the reader feeling completely satisfied. Romantic ResolutionI don’t know where I got the stairway so I can’t give credit where credit’s due, but this is the one thing I use every time I write a story. I keep a copy printed out to remind me of the steps I need to make during my writing so I’m constantly looking for ways to up the stakes and drive in more conflict.
Then I just get down to it and start writing. Because I usually write in braided plots, without the storyboard to keep me straight as to point of view and kind of a brief outline of the story, I would probably forget to add things or drop the ball on tying up all the loose ends. And I’m such a visual person, it helps me to picture everything that is happening physically and emotionally to my characters.
The next three authors participating in the Blog Tour are:

APOTHEOSIS OF THE IMMORTAL BY JOSHUA CHAUDRY
A very good friend and former student of mine has just released his first novel. It is hands down the most creative take on the vampire myth I've ever read. So, I wanted to help him spread the word.
I've read the book and it's fantastic.
Congratulations Josh Chaudry on a book well written!!!
APOTHEOSIS
Elijah’s family is savagely butchered while he lies helpless, forced to witness the carnage until a vicious blow to the head mercifully ends his agony.
But at some point during that terrible night he is baptized in blood and birthed into immortality. As his body rises once more, his mind and heart solidify with a clear and immutable purpose: to hunt down the beings responsible for his loved ones’ deaths and destroy them, whatever the cost. Since everything pure and sacred has been ripped from his soul, a great abyss now separates Elijah from his humanity. He is driven by blood lust, the ever-present mountain of rage that provokes him to kill any and all who get in his way.
Unable to understand why he alone was spared, for nearly a millennium he journeys to the far corners of the earth in search of answers, and the revenge he so desperately needs. As his quest nears its end, he meets a young woman who cleaves through his hate and touches the man deeply buried beneath it, tempting him to reopen the doors to his heart.
When she is abducted by the same beings who killed his family, Elijah realizes to stand alone may cost more than he is willing to sacrifice—her life. He faces the battle he has spent lifetimes preparing for…knowing that, in order to save her, he will have to surrender not only his revenge, but the very force that keeps him alive.

Giving your books a facelift. (Tweeking COVERS)
Recently my cover artist Tracy Stewart from Simply Bookish created a couple of new covers for my next two SEAL TEAM Heartbreaker books and they were unbelievably gorgeous. But when she looked at the first two books in the series, she decided that they needed a face lift so they'd be more aligned with the style of the new ones coming out.
So she gave gave them a face lift and I just had to brag about how wonderful they look. Here's the new covers.
BREAKING FREE
BREAKING THROUGH
BREAKING AWAY
All the fonts are the same, my name is the same in each one, and the caption beneath my name is the same. I think they look gorgeous. And I'm very pleased with them. And as a treat I'm going to give you a sneak peak at the next book in the series. Haven't gotten the blurb written but it's about Tess and Brett and their wedding. The tag line is Will temptation sever the ties they've built?
Just wanted to share!!!I'd love to hear from readers if they like the look of the covers better now than before. Sing out if you have an opinion.

MARLISS MELTON'S CODE OF SILENCE (Featured in: SEALed With A Kiss: Heroes With A Heart Anthology)
I'm posting an excerpt from Bestselling Author Marliss Melton's novella Code Of Silence. The first story featured in the newly released anthology SEALed With A Kiss: Heroes With A Heart. You're going to love this!
“How long did you know?” Vinny demanded, diving right in. A muscle jumped in his jaw as he awaited her answer. The reminder that the precious little life she’d been guarding was gone drove a shaft of pain straight through her heart. She lowered the cup to her lap and stared down at it, devastated. She had tried turning over a new leaf. She had wanted to put the baby first, and now it was too late. “Almost two months,” she admitted, too ashamed to even look at him. Stunned silence followed her reply. “Two months,” he finally repeated, in a voice that resonated with betrayal. “I was going to tell you,” she rushed to assure him, “but I was afraid you’d force me to quit my job and I wasn’t ready…” She cut herself off, dismayed by how petty she sounded. “You weren’t ready.” Out of the corner of her eye, she could see his hands gripping the edge of the chair he sat in, as he fought to rein in his incredulity. “Is that all you ever think of—yourself? What about the baby?” he demanded with controlled rage. “What about me? I haven’t slept or eaten or breathed in thirty-six hours because you didn’t tell me what you were up to. If I had known you were interviewing Rawlings, I would have recognized his name and realized what you were up against, and I would have protectedyou. None of this would have happened!” “I’m sorry,” she whispered. Remorse twisted through her, wringing tears from her heart. “I was going to tell you.”“Really?” he scoffed, his volume climbing. “After all the secrets you’ve kept from me, how do I know you had any intention of telling me at all?” She gasped at the hurtful words, wrenching her gaze up in a desperate bid to convince him. “I was,” she insisted. “On Christmas day, I was going to put the pregnancy strip in your… stocking.” Her voice broke at the realization that that would never happen now. The poor little life inside of her had never stood a chance. She’d endangered it by continuing with her risky plan, knowing all the while how villainous a man Rawlings truly was. “Is he—did he get arrested yet for what he did to me?” she asked in a desperate bid to shift some of the blame off her own narrow shoulders. “Not yet.” Vinny sprang to his feet and stalked to the window, his agitation a clear sign that Rawlings’ continued freedom chafed at him. “The cops and the district attorney want to make sure he won’t find some kind of loophole to get around the charges.” An aching silence fell between them. Vinny kept his back to her. She watched his shoulders rise and fall as he fought to bring his emotions under control. “I swear, Vinny,” Ophelia said, in a last-ditch effort to elicit his understanding, “if I’d known what Rawlings would do to me, I would never have taken chances with our baby.”He turned his head at her assertion. But the look in his eyes wasn’t even one that she recognized. He looked at her as if he’d never seen before—or like he was seeing for the first time who she really was. The look encased her heart in ice. He had finally realized what she’d known all along—that she did not deserve him. That she wasn’t the woman he thought she was.
