Chock full of exciting info. Click now!
I hope everyone is hanging in there. December is a tough time of year for many people, especially this year with everything that has happened.
The next few Newsletters will be chock full of exciting info because I have TWO releases in January! First up is Shielding Jayme, a novella in the Delta Team Two world. Jayme is the granddaughter of Brain’s elderly neighbor, Winnie. I’ve included a small excerpt below!
Also up in January is Shielding Riley. I think this book might be one of my favorites. I love writing single parent stories because kids are just so honest and endearing. In this book, Delta Force operative, Oz, gets the shock of his life when his 10-year-old nephew, that he didn’t know existed, is dropped off at his doorstep. He’s out of his league and turns to his beautiful neighbor for help. I’ll be sharing more about this story in the upcoming weeks! But you guys are the first to see the teaser graphic below!
And if you haven’t picked up Rescuing Macie, you can now get it, along with three other amazing books, in this 1001 Dark Nights bundle!
Amazon • NOOK • Googleplay • Apple • KOBO
Stay safe, stay healthy, and don’t forget to take care of yourself during the holiday season!

Excerpt from Shielding Jayme
“Can I take you on a date?”
“I’d like that,” Jayme said shyly. “I haven’t seen much of Killeen yet.”
Rocket grinned. “I’d be honored to show you around.”
“Cool.”
“Cool,” he echoed.
Then he surprised her by sitting back on the couch but not letting go of her hand. “I could leave now, but that would deprive Winnie of the satisfaction of knowing how well we got along…and how well her little plan worked.”
Jayme laughed. “Right? Although she probably deserves to be disappointed and think her scheming didn’t work for a while.”
“Do you really care?” Rocket asked.
Did she? No. She loved her memaw, and while it was a little embarrassing to be set up by her, if things worked out between her and Rocket, she couldn’t really be too mad. “No,” she told him.
“Me either. I don’t suppose Winnie’s got cable?” he asked skeptically.
Jayme laughed. “Not only does she have cable, she has Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV.”
Rocket’s eyes widened. “Seriously?”
“Yup. She says that she needs to stay up on what’s hip in the world,” Jayme told him.
“Your grandmother’s cooler than I am,” Rocket said.
“Me too,” Jayme agreed as she reached for the remote and clicked on the television.
She had no idea how much time had passed while they watched a British reality series about a helicopter 9-1-1 unit, but Jayme realized she’d fallen asleep when she heard voices speaking around her.
Opening her eyes, she saw that Rocket had turned off the lights…and she’d somehow snuggled herself almost onto his lap. His arm was around her, and she was using his shoulder as a pillow. He’d covered her up with a blanket, and she felt warm and safe in his arms.
He shifted next to her, and Jayme felt herself being lowered to the cushions. “I’ll call you tomorrow,” Rocket told her softly.
Jayme nodded. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.
“Go back to sleep,” Rocket told her. “I’ll see myself out.”
“Rocket?”
“Yeah?”
“I had a good time tonight.”
“Me too.”
Then she felt his warm lips against her forehead before she sensed him moving away. She heard more low conversation, probably Rocket saying goodbye to Memaw, before she heard her grandmother shuffling back into the room. Knowing she needed to get up and go to her bedroom, Jayme slowly sat upright, keeping the blanket that smelled like Rocket around her shoulders.
