Bovine Tricks

 

Blurb:

 

Lady Annabelle Trask is missing. Unfortunately, MISix doesn’t know if they’re looking for a woman, a cow, or something in between!

 

Is it real or is it fantasy? That’s the question MISix Agent Mathilda Honoria Spencer struggles with on her latest assignment. Tasked with discovering the whereabouts of Lady Annabelle Trask, Tillie is thrust into the world of Hucows and other human animals. It’s a world that raises serious questions about sexual fetishes, intentional physical enhancements, and even pornography, but in the end, Tillie has only one mission—to rescue and return Lady Annabelle to the Queen. However, as she and her partner, Agent Abdul Ali, attempt to find Lady Annabelle and keep her out of the clutches of terrorists bent on destroying the monarchy, they must also wrestle with their feelings for each other. Can they draw the line between their duty to the Crown and their relationship with one another? Or must they embark on separate paths to continue to serve the Queen?

First, We Kill All the Lawyers

 

Blurb:

Someone is killing lawyers, but a particular vampire lawyer won’t stay dead.

 

 

Donovan Trait is a marked man. Flamboyant, stunningly handsome, and notoriously insatiable, his attitude and style belie his skills in the courtroom. No one survives a cross-examination at Donovan’s hands. His knowledge of the law and trial practice has accumulated over the years… and years, of experience. More than three hundred years. You see, when Donovan isn’t seducing judges and juries, he’s a creature of the night. And now that someone has decided that it’s time to kill all lawyers, his lust for attention has set him in the murderer’s sights. The problem is, vampires don’t die. Not easily, anyway. That’s good news for Donovan, not so much for his very human lady love, also a target of the serial killer. Will several unsuccessful attempts on his life expose Donovan’s true nature? Will the killer learn the secret that will guarantee a permanent death? Or will Donovan finally manage to put an end to the killer’s murderous spree and live happily ever after, with his lady love?

The Last Christmas

 

Blurb:

When the doctors say there’s no hope, Santa begs to differ. After all, he claims, miracles are love combined with action to get the desired result. And at Christmas time, everyone deserves a miracle!

 

 

David Wright is dying from cancer. He is not expected to see another Christmas. At least that’s what the medical professionals say. Fortunately, Santa begs to differ. After all, modern medicine is nothing more than a best guess. Santa believes anything is possible until you give up. When Santa tells David’s wife, Joan, that heaven is full and she has to keep her husband alive, she is beside herself. She has no medical skills. How can she save anyone’s life? Set your skepticism aside as Santa embraces a family already mourning their father’s terminal diagnosis and teaches them that a Christmas miracle doesn’t always require heavenly intervention. Sometimes, all it takes is a family with enough love to create their own. As Santa says, a true miracle is when love combines with action to get the desired results. And only humans are capable of that. Will Santa’s words fall on deaf ears? Or will Team Wright find a way to save their father’s life?

Friday Seelie Kay is Visiting and Talking about Genres #MFRWAuthor #Genres #Heroes #Heroines #Villains #Romance

 

Day 1 Genres

 

1. Do you write a single genre or do your fingers flow over the keys creating tales in many forms?

 

While all of my books are romance, I am not married to a particular sub-genre. I decide that after the book has been drafted. I never know what direction my writing will take, so I just let the words flow until I get to the end of the story.

 

Does your reading choices reflect your writing choices?

 

I have always been a fan of romance, in particular, the happy ending. I am also big fan of crime fiction and mysteries. So I guess writing romantic suspense just flows naturally.

 

Are there genres you wouldn’t attempt?

 

Although I would love to write a good horror story, I just don’t have the stomach for it. I am one of those people who had nightmares for months after seeing movies like “The Omen” and “Carrie.” So while I would love to write a good slash and burn, killer terrorizing a bedroom community, I now I would never make it to the end.

 

2. Heroes, Heroines, Villains. Which are your favorite to write?

 

Heroes and heroines. I enjoy writing about the good in this world. About good people who fight for what is right, who are willing to put their lives on the line to save others. Yes, mostly I write about lawyers, because I was one. But I went to law school because I believe in truth justice and the American way. My lead characters have the same attitude.

 

3. Heroes. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or plain imagination create the man you want every reader to love? Do they come before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

 

I create heroes I admire. I don’t have to love them, but I do want to respect them. And I think readers do, too. Someone once told me that I should create heroes I would like to break bread with, because those are the characters people will love. So even they may have flaws, I mostly try to follow that advice. I write about lawyers, and I have met hundreds in all walks of life, from ambulance chasers to flashy mass tort lawyers, as well a Supreme Court justices and prominent law professors. Each had a characteristic, flaw, or habit that I retained in my subconscious and when the situation calls for it, I pull from that memory pool to build my heroes.

 

4. Heroines. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or imagination create the woman you want the reader to root for? Do they appear before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

 

I create heroines in the same way, but all of my heroines are who are strong women and effective communicators. Women who know when to fight and when to achieve their goals in other ways. They are smart, sassy, and sexy. They understand that relationships take work and do not allow themselves to be distracted by small stuff. If the doubt their partner or their partner does something that hurts, they speak up. They fight for what’s important to them. They do not merely slink away.

 

5. Villains or villainesses or an antagonist, since they don’t always have to be the bad guy or girl. They can be a person opposed to the hero’s or heroine’s obtaining their goal. How do you choose one? How do you make them human?

 

Sometimes, the line between hero/heroine and villain/villainess is blurred. It is also situational. For example, in my newest series, “Royals Gone Rogue,” the lead character is a flawed MI6 agent who has unintentionally messed up several of the missions of American intelligence agents. In one instance, her antics resulted in great physical and psychological harm to another female agent. She avoided termination by agreeing to serve as the Yank’s “grunt” in certain cases. In the Feisty Lawyers series, she was the antagonist because of her competitiveness and interference. In the new series, she has moved from villainess to heroine. She was redeemable. However, some of my villains are just plain bad. Slave traffickers, cult leaders, terrorists. They can’t be redeemed, no matter the circumstances, because they have proven they cannot be trusted.

 

6. What is your latest release? Who is the hero, heroine and or the villain?

 

As I mentioned, my latest release, “Bovine Tricks,” is Book One in my Royals Gone Rogue series. MI6 agent Tillie Spencer is the heroine. At the direction of the Queen, she must rescue or retrieve British royals in unseemly predicaments. However, because she retains the impulsiveness that got her in trouble in the past, her partner and lover must try to keep her on the straight and narrow. In this book, she is in search of a royal believed to have become a Hucow. She is repelled by that fetish and must overcome her distaste to complete her mission.

 

7. What are you working on now?

 

I am completing Book 2 in my Donovan Trait series. It’s called, “Ye Gods! The Law is an Ass.” Donovan Trait is lawyer and a vampire who functions in the human world, but remains under the thumb of the Vampire Coalition. In Book 1, he and his lady love, a human, were targeted by a serial killer. In Book 2, they are faced with an unplanned pregnancy that has the Vampire Coalition up in arms. They are on the run and wind up on a mysterious island run by an order of vampire nuns. I am still writing, so I have no idea how this one will turn out!

Saturday's Blurbs featuring Books by Seelie Kay #MFRWAuthor #romance #suspense

Martimus

Blurb:

Martimus. An underwater habitat dedicated to pharmaceutical research. Martimus. A facility that staffs its vessel with inmate labor. Martimus. The place where inmates visit and never return.

Agent Cate Creighton is in love. Unfortunately, as the Agency honeypot, she is knee-deep in an assignment that tests the bounds of her new relationship. It seems eight socialites have gone missing, all wealthy twenty-somethings with influential parents. No one seems to care until a former vice president’s daughter disappears.

When the vice-president shares a tale of false arrest, a broken promise of deportation, an illegal diversion into a private prison, and an alleged trip to an unwater habitat called Martimus, Cate and her colleagues must find a way to follow the same path. In other words, they must enter the right prison, meet the right fixer, wind up on Martimus, and hopefully return in one piece. And it looks like Cate is the perfect bait.

That doesn’t sit well with Cate’s lover, former U.S. Navy Seal Warren Hazelton. He intends to protect her until death ‘til do they part.

Fortunately, another possibility appears, in the form of an MISix agent who has interfered in one too many Agency operations. Tillie Henderson owes them and they are all too willing to serve her up on a plate. It’s race against time as the Agency attempts to lure their adversary out of hiding and into their somewhat ambiguous trap. Maybe then Cate can finally focus on love.

Hope

Blurb:

At only age twenty-two, she’s the best Probie the Agency has ever had—until her past catches up with her, leaving her devastated and broken. Without hope.

No one knows what they’re made of until they’re broken. At the tender age of twenty-two, Hope Ali has finally joined the organization of her dreams, the Agency, an elite group of attorneys who go undercover to right wrongs the law can’t. The requirements are stringent, the training exhausting.

After seeking asylum in the United States when she was sixteen, Hope and her father, Sheikh Harun Ali, settled in a quiet Wisconsin town, hiding from those who had placed a price on their heads. Still, she excelled, finishing her university and law school education by the time she was twenty-one.

Now, after breezing through the Agency training program, Hope appears to be indestructible—until she is assigned a simple task during the rescue of an author among the disappeared in the UAE. The task? To distract the woman’s captors until she can be spirited out of the country.

Unfortunately, a member of MISix has other plans. In an attempt to disrupt the Agency’s mission, she tips off one of Hope’s enemies, alerting them to her location. Hope manages to lead the author’s captors on a merry dance, freeing others to rescue her, until she is unexpectedly confronted with a violent angry mob intent on harm.

She is left bloody and broken. No one knows whether Hope’s body or her mind will heal. Suddenly Hope is no longer just her name. It is also the one thing she must embrace to find her new normal.

The White House Wedding

Blurb:

When politics interferes with love, can love survive?

Getting married isn’t easy when your father’s the President of the United States! After reluctantly agreeing to a White House wedding, Sarah Lee Pearson, the president’s daughter, finds herself swept into a political maelstrom of unimagined proportions.

The White House staff and the first lady see the wedding as a political event, a way to sweep the president into his next term. Congress is complaining about the collateral costs. The media is delightfully rehashing every aspect of Sarah’s life, even those events that have nothing to do with the impending marriage. And the American public? Visions of an American royal wedding have swept them into a frenzy and vendors take advantage, making a quick buck off of everything from limited edition t-shirts to commemorative teacups.

Sarah and her fiancé, Sam, fight hard to ignore the craziness, but after learning a bounty has been put on their heads by an anti-government militia group, they have to decide whether a White House wedding is indeed worth it. And given all the hurtful controversy, perhaps a better solution is to not get married at all.

Seelie Kay is visiting and talking about Panster or Plotter #MFRWAuthor #Panster #Plotter #amwriting

1. Are you a panster or a plotter or perhaps a bit of both?

I have always been a pantser. I never know what I’m going to write when inspiration strikes. I just sit down at the computer and let the words flow. I never know where I’m headed or where I’ll wind up. To me, that’s the joy of writing fiction.

2. Which comes first - characters or plot for you?

The characters. They guide the story.

3. What are you working on now? Is this a book in a current series or something totally new?

I just released Martimus, which is Book 5 of my Feisty Lawyers series. My holiday short, The Last Christmas, is in final edits at the publisher. Now I am moving on to new characters and a different sub-genre in romance, paranormal. My next book is about a lawyer/vampire who is targeted by a serial killer. Believe it or not, it’s a comedy! I am also toying with a biography, as told by the subject.

4. Do you have some kind of object or place that figures in most of your books? I use gems a lot, hospitals and caves.

Well, all of my books are built around lawyers and the law. Most are set in Milwaukee, Chicago,or St. Louis, all places where I have worked in law.

5. Do you write everyday or just when the spirit hits?

I not only write books, I also write for corporations and law firms, and host a blog, so there us rarely a day I don’t write something.
