 FEBRUARY 2022 NEWSLETTER - HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Since Valentine’s Day is coming up later this month, I thought I’d talk about romance in fiction. I don’t consider myself a romance writer, but all of my novels contain some degree of romance. I write adventure, suspense, crime, and disaster fiction. There are many reasons for bad behavior including greed, revenge, and power, but probably the strongest motivator for good deeds is love. I don’t discount the possibility of love at first sight, but when two people survive an amazing, outrageous, or dangerous adventure, they inevitably forge strong and lasting bonds and often find love built on respect and shared experiences. And, an underlying romance theme offers the opportunity for a happily-ever-after ending even if other aspects of the story don’t have a very positive outcome. So, whether you enjoy pure romance or romance as a subgenre, pick up a book and have a great Valentine’s romance.

    I love the way you incorporate romance with suspense and adventure. Your stories move along swiftly, and not in a predictable direction.

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.

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...
