Win Free books and Celebrate A Blogging Milestone

In celebration of 100,000 views to Jacqueline Hopper’s Blog, Prism Book Group authors are sharing our 2014 goals and achievements, and giving away some great prizes including a Book Lovers Gift Pack from Prism Book Group comprised of a print copy of Sarah: Mission of Love by Gay N. Lewis, a print copy of The Last Detail by Lisa J Lickel, and three Prism eBook downloads of choice! So, make sure to enter below and then hop on over to another blog for other posts and more chances to win. Have Fun! 

For 2014 my writing goal is the same as it is nearly every year – write a new adventure novel that amazes, excites, and entertains my readers, and surpasses the one I wrote before. This is a particularly challenging goal since the overall impression of any book on a reader is subjective, but hopefully I achieved my goal in 2013 with the publication of Shrouded In Secrets.  

In the early years, it was easier to see the progression from novel to novel in the form of better grammar, tighter sentences, more effective dialogue, etc. But now, the improvement in those areas is more subtle after nearly twenty years of honing my craft, so I’m left with writing a completely unique story that enthralls as many readers as possible from beginning to end - a lofty goal.
 
So, if you haven’t read any of my adventure/suspense novels, I hope you find the time this year, and then you can be the judge if I’ve succeeded in my goals.  Please click on any of the book covers to the right for a quick trip to Amazon.

    I love your books, especially Marked in Mexico. I really believe that it needs to be a movie. Good luck with your goals.

    Shrouded in Secrets was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I'm excited about reading your next adventure/mystery novel.

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her.   First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself.   I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful.

We have a young granddaughter who is also fast becoming an accomplished dancer.

It seems like love happens when you’re not looking for it, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Car
