Release day for LIE WITH ME!!!
He's here – he's here – Cam is here!!!
LIE WITH ME / Book 1 of the Shadow Force series
Dell Books 
ISBN-10: 0440245966
ISBN-13: 978-0440245964
Forced together by fate, bound together by desire.
Framed for a double murder, Delta Force operative Cameron Moore is given a new lease on life by the CIA—provided he pays them back by doing their black ops dirty work. Now Cam is ready to renegotiate their deal, and he thinks he's found the perfect bargaining chip: Skylar Slavin, bestselling author of espionage thrillers and the daughter of the CIA man who saved him from a prison sentence.
Skylar has been living in anonymity, never suspecting that someone so dangerous—and so desirable—would plunge her into a world as treacherous as one of her spy novels. But how can Cam go through with his plan to kidnap Skylar when just the sight of her sets off an explosive attraction he's never experienced before? And when Skylar falls prey to an even more perilous threat, this special ops soldier must call upon all his combat skills to protect the one person who can help him win his freedom—and the only woman he's ever loved.

Reviews & some giveaways for Lie With Me
Been busy this past week with my daughter's most recent surgery – she did great but it was more exhausting than usual since we brought baby boy. I wasn't ready to leave him home, and since the surgery is out of state, it made for a long trip. But I'm home and we're all recovering and I cannot believe LIE WITH ME releases on Tuesday.
I've been remiss in pointing to some great reviews and giveaways, so here goes.
Casee, from Book Binge, has a great review up, an excerpt and I have a guest post with a giveaway that I believe you have until tomorrow night midnight to enter! One of my favorite parts of her review: "I was thinking back on Steph's heroes and I realized that each one was better than the last. Cam's the best hero yet. And that's that."
Lea from Closetreader posted another great review – I'll be at her blog doing an interview and a giveaway on November 9th (and yes, I'll remind you!) My favorite parts of her review – the fact that she starts it with, Holy. Hell. (always a good sign) – she also says, "If you enjoy a heart wrenching, thrilling, gritty and action packed military romantic suspense, you may like to give,"Lie With Me," a try." And the biggest compliment, she says it's one of the best books she's read this year.
Pearl has a wonderful review of Lie With Me up as well, and she's got the first of several giveaways listed there. Pearl says, "I adore Stephanie Tyler's writing and her brand of romantic suspense. Her men are capable, unapologetic and ruthless, yet tender and passionate with their woman. The women are vulnerable yet strong and independent. The suspense in LIE WITH ME is thrilling, intricate and awesomely put together including some kick-ass fight sequences. I was jumping from one speculation to the other. The romance is poignant and intense, the love scenes fog up will your glasses and an added treat was the secondary romance and the way she set up the next book's couple without giving away too much."
Jen (TwiMom) reviewed Lie With Me, interviewed me and used an excerpt as her Sunday snippet – YAY! Jen says, "And Cam… he is an alpha male that I can appreciate! He is a man with a sorted and complex past. He is flawed, but works through his own mess to find happiness….All in all, Lie WIth me is a thrilling, romantic journey.'
Okay, back to IN THE AIR TONIGHT revisions – due very, very soon…

Good Karma Giveaway (part 1)
"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours." – Wayne Dyer
"Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds." – George Elliot
I've been bitching and moaning about my daughter's school district (and rightfully so) and people on Facebook have been awesome about sharing their own fights and struggles and just giving cyber chocolate and hugs, and I think it's time for a giveaway – the first of several in the coming weeks.
I truly believe in karma – reaping what you sow – and sometimes it's a slow process, but I truly believe people get what they deserve – good, bad or indifferent. Sometimes, all it takes is a reminder of how many good people are out there, willing to do a good deed or give a kind word or lend an ear or a shoulder.
And you know, sometimes when I write posts like this, I know there are people who think it's all Pollyanna (totally did not know there were two l's in that word, btw) and crap – here's my thing – I think too many people mistake kindness for weakness. But hey, that's their problem – and I think we need a lot more kindness out there.
So, for today's giveaway prize – it's a $50 Amazon Gift Card! All you have to do to be eligible to win is to tell me, in the comments, the last time someone did something that made you smile or gave you comfort…you don't have to give a whole story or private details if you don't want to…just the bare bones is fine. Share the Karma!
This giveaway is open until this Wednesday at noon EST - I'll draw the winner and announce on Wednesday afternoon / evenining – all depends on when baby boy allows me computer time.

Back to work. Ish.
Thanks for the congrats, everyone! Baby boy is doing well – he's really happy and easy and he's always hungry, which is a good thing.
As for the title of the post, it's not that I haven't been working, but I've definitely taken some time off because I kind of can't stop holding this baby. He's addictive, you know? But then yesterday, I finally started to feel that writing urge, the one I can't ignore, which means writing is slowly nudging its way back into being a priority. And now it's...
