Musa Publishing Rocks!!


Woohoo!! Happy birthday, Musa Publishing!

And welcome to this fabulous hop! If this is your first stop, you are in for a treat! You have the opportunity to meet a truly amazing group of authors and hear about (and enter to win) an incredible lineup of books as well as win a KINDLE FIRE!

One thing that Musa does is encourage all kinds of author participation. One of those bits of encouragement resulted in the "Finally Ever After" line of stories. Each one brings a couple back together again for a second chance at love.

The instant I heard this idea, I wanted in, and my new release, Finally Ever After: Storm Duty will debut on October 12. The story takes place in the immediate aftermath of the terrible April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak which took place almost literally in my backyard.

I was horrified by the devasation to the towns I knew so well and put my hero and heroine right in the middle of trying to get power restored so that rebuilding could begin. Writing about such a frightening event helped me personally as I got the chance to voice some of the strong emotions I had felt during that time. I hope seeing this couple revive their relationship will renew my readers' hope and belief in love.



Can Kyle and Jenna find each other again in the midst of the devastation? Or will their jobs pull them apart and leave not only their homes but their hearts shattered?

In the aftermath of a series of tornadoes, Kyle Mathis just wants to guide his linemen to restore power to the devastated town of Milton. When reinforcements in the form of corporate deskjockeys come to work storm duty, he’s glad for the extra bodies to help serve food and support the crews working eighteen hour days.

But Kyle is not prepared to face one of the latest arrivals, his ex-wife Jenna. Jenna left him years ago, choosing her career over their marriage. However, being back together in their home town brings back memories and desire—for both Kyle and Jenna.

CONTEST: To win your own pdf copy of Finally Ever After: Storm Duty (perfect for reading on that Kindle Fire you can win), just follow this blog and leave me a comment with your email address. And I am sweetening the pot to include a $10 MUSA PUBLISHING gift card.

  2. What a cool premise for a book. I would imagine that writing that book helped you sort through the memories which sound truly scary. Good luck in your future writing. Your novel is the type of book I like to read.

  11. I remember those tornadoes last April and all the terrible damage they left in their wake. they missed us in coastal NC but we got hit pretty good with Hurricane Irene which did a lot of damage to the town I lived in. Storm Duty sounds like a wonderful read. Thanks for participating in this awesome hop!

  12. Congrats to Musa on their anniversary! The one thing I like most about doing blog hops is finding new authors. I admire that you were able to get some of your emotions out about the tornadoes through your story. Much success to you in your writing future.

  13. Wow, what a way to write what you know! I'm sure being a part of the emotional response at the time, and seeing the devestation first hand, will make the emotional aspect of your story especially vivid. I'd love to read it. Thanks so much for the contest.

  16. Thanks so much to everybody who commented and entered! I am thrilled to add some followers to my blog and swear to post more often and more interestingly. Man, I hate blogging. I'm afraid I'll start telling all sorts of horrible TMI stuff. Just because I can. Yipes!!
