Duty, Love, Sacrifice

July 4, 2011 by admin

So I’m in the middle of subbing my book, Duty, Honour, Love out to several publishers. I’ve gotten a few rejections but overall I’m hopeful that someone will pick it up!

I’m now trying to finish “Boots on the Ground” (hopefully very soon!) as well as working on the follow up to “Duty, Honour, Love”  called “Duty, Love, Sacrifice”

I came up with the blurb for it today. I love the blurb!! here it is:

 

Logan Weber is a good cop, with a very special talent. With his best friend Chris Miller at his side, they’re the best team Internal Affairs has for chasing down those who would dishonour their profession. When the foster mother of Chris’ soon to be adopted son dies tragically, Logan is left wondering if their on-again-off-again-when-in-need-relationship  is both what they really want or need. While Chris is questioning his future as a police officer, Logan chases down a prolific child pornography distributor. The chase leads him down paths he promised himself he would never go. He finds himself facing a choice, be honest to his badge and to Chris, or sacrifice everything in the hunt for vigilantly justice.

Every time you kiss me, I feel my knees go weak like I’m going to faint because I am so lucky to have you.” Jason stopped and swallow.

█ ♥ █ Happy Canada Day █ ♥ █

July 1, 2011 by admin

In case you haven’t noticed I hold a .ca domain name. I am a very proud Canadian girl!

Today in celebration of being Canadain, I want to tell you all of the reasons I love Canada, and if you haven’t been, why you should really come and visit!

1. Be who you want to be, not matter who you are.

You can be who ever you want to be, and no one can persecute you.

2. Education for all

Out education system is free for everyone, yes there are school fees, and yes university does cost, but our basic go to school to get a high-school diploma, or go back to school to update when you’re 30, or get your diploma when you’re 50? Free.

3. Health Care

If you walk into any hospital, any clinic you will  be treated –for free–. You get the best treatment possible, if you make $8.50 an hour, or 8 million a year. Do you have to wait? Sometimes yes. If you you *need* it now, you get it now.  Our system is based off of worse case first, not who has the most money.

4. True equality.

In Canada we have the Charter of rights and freedoms.  You have the right to be who you are, the right to which religion and the right to who you want to love.  You have the legal right to marry -who- you want. You can do -what- you want. It’s amazing and very few other countries in the world can claim this.

 

Just a few reasons why I love living in Canada. There are so many more!

 

I hope everyone has a great Canada Day/Fourth of July weekend! Stay safe and don’t forget every comment on my blog from June 25th to July 26th at midnight enters you into win one of TWO prizes!!

Here is a snip from their wedding,Jason and his older brother Steve are in the chambers waiting for the wedding to start.

*~*

“You’re happy and excited and terrified and sad and mad and glad and you have no idea all rolled into one giant ball of energy,” Steve supplied.

Jason nodded, “How did you know?”

“Dude I got married in June it’s not a feeling you forget any time soon,” Steve replied, he slugged Jason’s arm playfully, “I think you’re worse than I was.”

“You were puking your guts out in the bathroom of the rectory because you were so hung over from the night before,” Jason pointed out.

Steve laughed, “Don’t tell Nancy that.”

“You’re kidding right, you drunk called her at three am to say that you love her so you didn’t sleep with the stripper that your buddy hired.”

Boots on the Ground

June 22, 2011 by admin

It took me nine weeks to write “Sometimes It’s Fate” as soon as I finished I started writing the follow up, “Boots on the Ground” I’ve been writing this book for a year and a half and there is finally an end to the long tunnel. Why has it taken me so long to write?

Good question.

I think it had to do with a lot of things going on in my life. I lost all all important momentum that comes with writing. Just after I finished Sometimes I moved half way across the country, I started working instead of just going to school. I finished School, then I started studying for my big nurse Exam. By the time that was done I found a job and started working again. I didn’t have the time or the focus to really write.  I would open something write 10k and move on, or drop 1000 words here 2000 words there. etc.  I felt a bit defeated as well I wrote a book, a subbed and subbed and subbed and all I got was rejection notices.

Finally someone picked it up, but my focus was else where. A new book idea came along in January and I spent 8 weeks writing that and another 8 polishing and scrubbing. Now I’ve done a few subs I’ve put it on the shelf for now. I’m back to focusing on Boots. At the moment I have 48 700 words plus another 15k or so ready to drop in once I connect the scenes together. I finally feel like things are moving along. Just need to keep that momentum!

Here is the -working- blurb for “Boots on the Ground”

Ash Cooper knows him and, his Civilian Police partner, Jason McCarty need to do one thing- Stay Alive. An IED attack leaves both men stranded in the high desert of Afghanistan and running from insurgents. With damaged satellite phones and Ash being injured their only hope is to take refuge with a group of civilians until they can be rescued. But rescuers don’t come and as the days turn to weeks Ash and Jason think about home, the partners they left behind, and when all hope is lost they turn to each other in a struggle for survival.
