#WriteWed ONE LAST NIGHT and Family Relationships

ONE LAST NIGHT Erotic Military RomanceFamily relationships can be both difficult and rewarding. It all depends on the people involved and the challenges they have been presented in life. Sometimes people are presented with challenges they handle in ways that harmful to the family relationship even though they think that what they’re doing is the right thing.

I had a situation in my life like that after my mom died. We really weren’t ready for it because she was so young and it happened so fast and the aftermath was hard in many ways. I coped with it as I could, trying to make things as right as I could for the people around me.

It took me a long time to realize that I hadn’t given myself the time I needed to grieve and that the people around me didn’t necessarily want or need what I had done to keep things on an even keel.

It was that kind of life challenge that inspired the relationship between Trevor and his father. I can’t really say what the “big event” in Trevor’s life was without spoiling a key revelation in ONE LAST NIGHT, but I will tell you that it was what led in large part to the path Trevor chooses to walk and his estrangement from his father.

Kind of heavy for a sexy kind of story, but for me the story is all about the emotion and romance. If that’s not there, all the sex in the world won’t make it right.

I guess I did something right. Here’s what Samantha H. had to say about ONE LAST NIGHT:

    “Beautifully written love story. Trevor and Maggie’s book is one story that you must read. Their love story will make you laugh, cry, and fan yourself.”

#WriteWed Take a Chance Series #Military #Romance & #Giveaway

One Last Night erotic military romanceWow, oh wow, talk about writing inspiration! I’ve just started STAY THE NIGHT, the next novella in the Take a Chance series and again, Wow! I am having so much fun exploring the conflict between a couple that have become strangers during the husband’s military duty, but still have passion (and maybe more) binding them together.

The hero in the story is Rafe Castillo, a Navy Seal coming home for leave before heading back for his last months of duty. His wife, Elena, was only eighteen when she became pregnant and Rafe’s honor and deep-rooted beliefs made him marry her. Of course, Rafe has kind of been in love with Elena for a very long time otherwise he wouldn’t have become involved with her.

Flash forward three years later and Elena is now a woman. A smart, sexy and independent woman who Rafe almost doesn’t recognize when she meets him at the airport. Elena has a good job, is going to college, has just gotten a promotion complete with a new company car, and she’s bought them a home.

Elena has basically moved on with her life and Rafe is not sure if he has a place in it anymore.

I’m just loving exploring that and the passion between them. I hope you’ll like Stay the Night also when it comes out in late November.

Take a Chance Erotic Romance Box SetSpeaking of November, the time is up for the ONE LAST NIGHT campaign for Hope for the Warriors and I made a donation yesterday. Thank you to all of you who participated in the Thunderclap and purchased the novella. It’s specially priced at .99 cents all this week, but then the price will go up.

You will still be able to get all the novellas as standalones, but on November 17, you can also buy them as part of the Take a Chance box set! Thank you again for your support for me and for our military men, women, and families.

Speaking of the military, join me and other romance authors at Read.Write.Remember on November 11th, Veteran’s Day, as we talk about why we honor and support our military in various ways!

#ThrowbackThursday A New York City Christmas & ONE LAST NIGHT

I love the Jersey Shore which is why I set so many of my books there, including the first two novellas in the Take a Chance series. But I also love New York City and have likewise set a number of books there, including almost all of The Calling is Reborn Vampire Novel series.

One Last Night New Adult Erotic RomanceFor a chance of pace, I decided to set the third novella in the Take a Chance series, ONE LAST NIGHT, in New York City.

Today’s Throwback Thursday are some photos that I took in 2011 during our annual Christmas jaunt to NYC!

We love going into the city and getting a chance to be tourists for a change. When you live or work somewhere, you sometimes don’t get the opportunity to really see how unique it is, so this is our time to explore and enjoy things we might normally miss.

Post by Caridad Pineiro.

I will be donating all proceeds from sales of ONE LAST NIGHT from October 27 to November 3 to Hope For The Warriors®.

I’m also happy to say that right now they’ve received a grant from The John Stewart Morton, Jr. Gift Fund which has offered Hope For The Warriors® a gift matching opportunity. His family will match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000, until the end of the year. YEAH!

That means that every dollar I contribute will be matched, so please help me out to help our military men, women and families.

ONE LAST NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time and is available at these retailers:

What do you think about the tattoo craze? I’m not sure I’m a fan of it, especially when entire arms and other body parts are so filled with “art” that skin is not visible. What about today’s choice? Thumbs up or down?

Happy #ManCandyMonday

Today’s #ManCandy is a little bit workout inspiration. Let’s all do a little twist and work out that midsection. Turn to the right and then to the left. That’s it stretch it now and I don’t just mean your eyeballs! LOL!

Hope you all have a great day! Also, asking a little favor. I’ve donated proceeds of sales in the past to Hope for the Warriors and the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. Since all of the stories in the TAKE A CHANCE erotic romance series feature military heroes, I will donate ALL MY PROCEEDS from sales of ONE LAST NIGHT from Oct. 27 to Nov 3 to a nationally recognized organization that helps our wounded military men and women!

I hope you will think about helping me out by signing up for my Thunderclap for this project! I promise you will not get spammed with more e-mails once you sign up. You are just agreeing to share that one message on whatever social media platform you choose. Thank you!
