Surviving With Love – Now Available

Romantic adventure with a twist…
Sparks start flying when Stacey Parker meets ex-military hostage rescuer, Cord McConnell, and she begins to wonder if they will survive this assignment in the wilderness without killing each other.
Cord McConnell felt someone step from the woods. He wasn’t prepared for the sight of a young girl with a wild mane of strawberry blond curls who claimed to be his tracker. “I won’t wait on you if you fall behind and I don’t like whiners. I’m in charge and you do exactly as I say, regardless. Understand?”
“I won’t wait on you if you fall behind either, and whining is for dogs. You’re welcome to be in charge and I’ll follow orders when I agree with them,” She walked from the clearing without waiting to see what this macho jerk would do next.

A Must Read for the Holidays

If you love Christmas romances, don’t let this one slip by.

Due to sexual scenes and descriptions A Christmas Vow is rated for adult readers only.

As a boy, Chris becomes enamored with Shanda when he sees her dance at her first recital. Shanda loves Chris with all of her young heart. But Chris is older and seeks out mature girls along with other interests. Later he becomes the head of a large international company and Shanda must accept that things will never be the same. She pursues her own goal of teaching dance to under-privileged children to the exclusion of all else.

Ms. Shinn masterfully takes us through time as Chris and Shanda’s feelings grow, change, and mature from childhood infatuation into a passionate, adult relationship. With humor, heart-rending emotion, and explosive passion, this story keeps the pages turning and leaves the reader with a satisfied, happy feeling in the pit of the stomach.

Operation EBook Drop

Many of our deployed troops would spend their down-time reading, if they just had access to books. Some do have access to ereaders, iPods, Blackberries, PCs, and laptops. But they are starving for good books to read.

As my special Christmas project this year I’ve signed up for a wonderful program, Operation EBook Drop, started by a retired veteran, fellow author, Ed Patterson, who remembers those long hours when far from home. He is making it possible, along with support and assistance from Smashwords, Amazon, and a list of authors, to send free ebooks to troops who sign up for the downloads. I contacted Ed and he made it easy to join and to get started offering my books to deployed military personnel. I’ve received responses from grateful troops already and I only joined yesterday. What a wonderful feeling it gave me.

If you would like to learn more and possibly participate please visit http://blog.smashwords.com/2009/09/smashwords-supports-operation-ebook.htmlEd’s email address is included in the article and he will provide more info or sign you up.

Regardless of your feelings or political views about the conflicts and reasons that peacekeeping forces and troops are deployed, remember that they are men and women doing service to their country. They are away from home and limited as to their creature comforts we all take for granted. I thought it the least I could do to provide whatever comfort and relaxation a book download might bring. Hope you will consider finding out more regarding Operation EBook Drop.
