Goings on
It’s been a minute (hehe) since I’ve been around. Sorry. Life on this end has been hectic. But I have been busy. Promise. If you’ll notice those nifty little WIP widgets to your left I’ve finished Hummingbird House, my advent piece, and submitted it about a week and a half ago. Now I’m working on a Valentine story and finishing up Safe and Sound and maybe a paranormal piece if I have time… I dunno. But yes… busy bee.
So this weekend I’ve got my nose to the grindstone and I’m determined to get something finished… don’t know what yet.
Have a good one!

A Heart For Robbie Cover Launch
A Heart for Robbie by JP Barnaby
Waiting for someone else’s child to die so yours can live is the worst kind of Hell.
Celebrated Young Adult author Julian Holmes pits the heroic characters in his Black Heart series against all different kinds of monsters. But when a critical heart defect threatens his son’s life, he finds he has no champion. No amount of books, classes, or practice can prepare Julian for the fight to save his beautiful son’s life.
Suddenly there are hospitals, transplant lists, and the nightmare of insurance red tape to navigate. In the midst of his trouble, Julian meets Simon Phelps, the insurance coordinator for Robbie’s case. Simon lives so deep in the closet he might never find his way out, but he dreams of exactly what Julian has. Then one night, drunken need and desperation brings them together, and a new fight begins.
A Heart for Robbie is available for pre-order at Dreamspinner Press.

Reviews, giveaways, blog stops, and what’s next
It’s been a wonderful past few days. I’m overwhelmed with the response from readers and reviewers. I’m truly thankful for every kind word and review that’s been put out there. Sam and Casey have been reviewed so far at Live Your Life, Buy the Book, 3 Chicks After Dark, Rainbow Book Reviews, Twinsie Talk Book Reviews, Prism Book Alliance, and Guilty Indulgences. Plus all the kind words from readers and GR reviewers…I’ve been kind of spoiled these past few days.
Also I’m a slacker and forgot to mention that I’m giving away a copy of Son of a Fish at my home base, Joyfully Jay. That contest runs until June 5th @ 11:59 p.m.
I’m also visiting a few blogs over the next few weeks:
June 5th – The Kimi-chan Experience
June 6th – GGR Reviews
June 9th – The Blogger Girls
June 10th – Prism Book Alliance
June 12th – JP Barnaby
June 16th – Love Bytes
June 21st – The Novel Approach
June 24th – Book Pages and Dripping Ink
And somewhere in there I’ll be visiting MM Good Book Reviews with and interview with Pixie.
Look for at least one or two more spots and some giveaways along the way.
It’s fun times. Then in the next few weeks I’ll be focusing on my next release through Less Than Three press. A charity anthology entitled Everyone Deserves a Home to benefit Project Fierce Chicago. They are a beautiful group and a worthy cause. I can’t wait for the anthology to go live.
All proceeds benefit Project Fierce Chicago

The jitters and some tears
As you know by now, Son of a Fish releases on June 1st. And I’ve already received my very first review!! Barb at Live Your Life, Buy the Book gave Sam and Casey 4 1/2 stars!!! I’m such a big baby. I’ve been crying since read the review.
It’s just over twenty-four hours from this very moment. I’ve done a lot of things in my life. Just a tidbit, something you may not know, I sing. I’ve been on stage in front of hundreds of people before and sang my heart out… numerous times. I can’t remember ever being as nervous as I am in this very moment, with the release of my first short story on the horizon. Of course, I’ve been singing since I was a toddler, so that could have something to do with it. So here on the almost eve of my official inauguration as an honest-to-god author. I have to thank the people who have walked with me, step by step into this new world. There are a ton of you… it really does take an army.
First, my family supports everything I do. I have the most amazing women in my life who support me no matter what I choose to do and no matter whether or not they understand why I write what I do. So to my mom, my Aunt Pat, and my cousin, Paula. I love you ladies more than you can imagine.
And to the army of authors, readers, friends, and loved ones who stood at my back or over my shoulder (you all know who you are) pushing me to write and to continue writing. You mean the world to me.
Specifically CC, Jayden, Lexi, Rhys, Anne, Jana, and Gabrielle, you guys make me better with your guidance and encouragement every step of the way.
Okay… in case, you haven’t realized, I get sentimental when I’m nervous… but I mean every word.
So, come 12 a.m EST and 11 p.m. CST (or somewhere close to those times), I’ll post the buy links.
Happy Reading!!

Son of a Fish
Out June 1st from Dreamspinner Press (I will link it as soon as it’s available)
Son of a Fish by Kenzie Cade
Sam Crowe lives a quiet life. He’s a freelance journalist and sometimes fiction writer. His world is turned upside down when love lands on his doorstep—literally, while cursing up a G-rated storm. Son of a fish, indeed. Casey Sanders doesn’t know whether it’s good luck or bad when he slips and falls on the icy steps of his apartment building, but the hero who comes to his rescue is worth the discomfort.
Their attraction is instant, but Sam is certain Casey’s flirtation and kind words are a result of the pain medication. But Casey is persistent and won’t give up until he has what he wants. And what he wants is Sam.
ts. And what he wants is Sam.
