We're inching closer to
Finding Elodie arriving!
To write this book I watched the movies Captain Phillips (with Tom Hanks) and Under Siege as research. These are both movies about a ship being overtaken by modern-day pirates. The Captain Phillips movie was based on a true story of a cargo ship being overtaken, and of course, everyone knows Under Siege is the cheesy, not very realistic movie of a US Navy ship being taken over by a bad guy with revenge on his mind and Steven Seagal (former Navy SEAL in the movie) almost single-handedly saving the day.
The book moves from the waters of the Middle East to the beautiful paradise of Hawaii, where the Hero is stationed with his SEAL team. I've always loved Hawaii and have been there many times. I've incorporated some of my favorite spots on the island of Oahu, and maybe if you ever make it there, you'll see some of them and smile, remembering my stories! (ABC stores, Duke's, Helena's, eating malasadas, and so many more!)
I've included a short excerpt below to maybe whet your appetite for the book. It'll be out before we know it. And just a reminder that you can get the
paperback and
audio a week before the ebook if you're interested. (The audio wherever my audios are sold and the paperback through my online store, link at the end of the email!)
Also this week I wanted to make sure everyone knew I have a BOGO sale going on at Kobo right now (that's Buy one get one free) on ALL of my books! The Kobo app is free (just like all the other reading platform apps), so even if you aren't usually a Kobo customer, you can make an account for free and literally get my books for 50% off! The sale is only going on this month (and only in the US/UK/CA/NZ/AU), so if you're interested, make sure to get on that! Links are below the BOGO graphic below.
If you're in the US and in a state that observes daylight savings time, I hope you've survived! My dogs love it in the spring (they get to eat an hour earlier!), not so much in the fall. lol Stay safe out there!!
