Almost There!

By

The last two months have been a real slog as I’ve worked through the edits on my next book. I’m happy to report that I’m in the home stretch on those. What makes me even happier is that I have a blurb ready to go.

VAPOR POINT

After her return from a deployment to Afghanistan, Jenna Robinson’s life is spiraling out of control. Too much booze, too many nightmares, and an emotionally abusive and controlling mother have put her on a collision course with her family and her job. She accepts an offer to step out of her personal tornado and start over as a deputy in a small county in Utah. It’s her chance to climb out of the bottle, make peace with her past, and distance herself from her mother.

But the county isn’t as quiet as advertised. Jenna finds herself busy working to solve a cold case involving a world-renowned photographer, facing off against a drug boss with a fetish for young girls, and coping with the escalating abuse from her mother. All the while, a terrorist is using bombs filled with deadly nerve agent to hold the country hostage. Amidst the professional and personal turmoil, Jenna finds herself falling hard for her handsome new partner, Morgan North, who’s now squarely in the cross hairs of a drug boss who wants him dead because Morgan won’t back off his investigation.

Jenna and Morgan must work together if they are to save each other, knowing each moment could be their last.

The truth about the blurb. As I’ve stated many times, I’m terrible at them. This time, I tried something new. I asked a couple of my beta readers to help me out. Jennifer Sasnett asked if I’d mind if she gave it a shot after reading my first (terrible/rotten/Gawdddd awful) attempt. At the same time, I asked Ann R. Stephens if she’d be willing to read the rough manuscript and take a shot at writing one. Ann posts about the books she reads on Facebook and is great at providing a few short sentences about each one. I used pieces from each of their descriptions, and I’m happy with the result.

Thank you, Jennifer and Ann for your help.

This book proved just as difficult to title, but thanks to Bill Peterson, I’ve got that covered too. Thanks, boss! Dean is working on another awesome cover, and Marcia is still giggling and pointing at my sentence structure. I’m hopeful that in a few short weeks, VAPOR POINT will be ready to go. Thanks for staying tuned.
