I'm Breaking Free, Breaking Through, Breaking Away and getting back into Writing
In one week I will have finished teaching my last college class and I am so excited!! Teaching can be rewarding and challenging, but my writing is where my heart is. And I'm really looking forward to devoting my time completely to my next book, Breaking Away.
When I'm writing I'm neck deep in my character's world and at this moment my character is learning to drop out of sight and survive off the radar, something I had to do a ton of research for him to do. I feel as though I've done that myself for the three last months because of the classes. As soon as they end, and I post my grades, I'll be jumping feet first into the story and writing 10 hours a day. Butt on chair--fingers on keyboard. That's the only way to make headway.
Here's my blurb for Breaking Away:
When Navy SEAL Harold "Flash" Carney agrees to act as an undercover operative for the FBI in an international smuggling sting, he revisits a past he hoped to leave behind forever. During the sting, his handler, the one agent he trusts, is killed and Flash is framed for the man's murder. Knee deep in a double cross, uncertain of who he can trust, and cut off from his team, he goes on the run with the smuggled goods and money, with only his training to keep him alive.
Samantha Ross is desperate to leave her past as a battered wife behind, but her ex-husband is determined to gain custody of the one thing guaranteed to keep her in his life, their daughter. Struggling financially, Samantha rents a room over her garage to Flash. When her ex turns stalker, her renter proves as protective as he is secretive.
Despite their mutual wariness, Samantha and Flash are drawn to one another, but trust comes hard. As the walls both have erected start to crumble, Samantha’s daughter is kidnapped, and Flash has no choice but to break away from the ingrained habits of a lifetime to reach out to his team and save what he’s built with Samantha--a family.
But in the meantime. If you haven't read the first two books, Check them out.

Can't wait for the next book! I really enjoyed the first two--especially the way the characters from the first book made real appearances in the second.

Jen:I'm so glad you enjoyed the books!! I love my Navy SEALs. This book will be Flash's story of course but it will also be Captain Jackson, and his wife, Marsha's.
Have to get him to redeem himself.
