Terry Spear's SEAL Wolves in Action!

Thanks so much for
inviting me to come to the Romancing the Genres during Military Romance Month!!



SEAL Wolves in
Action!





A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing was my ninth book in the series,
but my third book was To Tempt the Wolf, and it's really the beginning of my
mention of the SEAL wolves. Hunter Greymere was their team leader, and then I
finally was able to get back to them in A SEAL in

When Being Lost in A Story-Isn’t A Good Thing

Get Lost in a Romantic Comedy Book

Sometimes you need to escape in a funny, light-hearted book without the angst. The world news is getting the better of your peace of mind and you don’t want any more dark, tragic reads. So, it’s time to turn to romantic comedy. The only problem is, the best romcom books can be hard to find.

Beware All Ye Who Enter...

Oh the woes of getting lost...in a great story! The struggle is real, and many of folks know the truth! There is so much that happens between the first page and that last satisfying sentence. Ever close a book with a loud contented sigh...and then realize you just lost an entire day? No laundry for the kids for school in the morning. Meh, clothes are overrated anyway.

Five Favourites To Get Lost In Again #scifi #romance #superheroes

Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions.
As a child going into my teens, I was a voracious reader, devouring everything up to and including my parents' books, some of which were probably decidedly inappropriate at the time (Ian Fleming, Georgette Heyer, and Alexander Kent). But into my twenties I settled into focusing on a genre I later came to know

their strengths and weaknesses, unique idiosyncrasies and passions to humanize
your villains. Change the names and appearances, of course!
