Elvis is in the Building

Elvis is in the building.

Well, maybe not. But I have resurrected just a tiny bit of his essence, stolen some of his good looks, and plopped it into the hero of my latest book, Elvis is a Keeper, releasing today from Soul Mate Publishing!

Honestly, Elvis was a little before my time, but who doesn’t love a little “Love Me Tender?” So when I decided that my spunky, single mom, fishing guide of a heroine, who just so happens to be the biggest Elvis fan on the planet, was in need of a man . . . well, who better than a King clone who’s brainy and slightly clumsy and can’t stand anything outdoorsy? A match made in Heaven, right?

I thought so.

Well, their newfound love is tested in a big way when she finds a body in the lake and her beloved father is accused of a brutal crime and her world comes crashing down around her.

This book was fun to write, but I’ll tell you the truth. I hadn’t intended to toss a body in the lake, and when I did it, I made a mystery for myself, and I’ll NEVER do it again. I don’t know how you mystery writers do it. That stuff is hard. But, in the end, I found a happy spot with my story, my mystery, and my King of Rock—er—just my Elvis.

Hook . . .

Em Reed’s life is complicated enough—thank you, very much. As a single mother struggling to take over the family fishing guide business, she yearns to make her beloved father proud. He is the only man she trusts—the only one who has been there for her through every heartache.

Line . . .

And the last thing the needs is to fall for some brainiac writer who is only in town temporarily. Even if he does bear a fascinating resemblance to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll—the only man who still rocks her world.

And Sinker . . .

But as her life takes a horrific turn for the worst and her father is accused of a brutal crime, can she keep her family together, her father from confessing to save the love of his life, and her own heart safe?

Or is Elvis a Keeper?

Thank you to all the wonderful friends and fans who have gone on this journey with me!  (Including the King, who I hope is still rockin’ his blue suede shoes on high!)  And thanks to all of you who visit my blog and chat with me.  Please feel free to leave me a comment and I’ll pick one of you at random by Friday to receive a shiny new Amazon e-book copy of Elvis is a Keeper!
