Behind the Scenes of Shrouded in Secrets

People often ask how much of the content in my adventure novels is based on real life. Well, it depends on the story. Other than a visit many years ago to the Sphinx and the Giza pyramids in Egypt, there is very little in Shrouded in Secrets that resembles places I’ve been or things I’ve done, so it required a lot of research. The story is an over-the-top action-adventure romantic thriller that takes readers on a high-stakes race around the globe to stop a group of deadly terrorists searching for thirteen mythical relics capable of epic destruction. It was a challenging book to write and involved a cork board, note cards, photos, maps, timelines, and lots of pushpins. Almost all of my other stories contain settings from places I’ve been and/or embellished adventures I’ve experienced.

I thought it might be fun to share a little bit about how much reality is included in each of my novels, so please check back often for more behind-the-scenes information. https://www.amazon.com/Shrouded-Secrets-Kim-McMahill-ebook/dp/B07NMV5V1L/

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...

Blogfest – Did I Notice Your Book?

What makes a new book jump out and beg to be read even if you’ve never heard of the author?   A great cover or a catchy title can grab the attention of a potential reader, and Beth Groundwater’s Wicked Eddies did just that.   It’s difficult to ignore, Wicked Eddies , and not be just a bit intrigued. Did I notice your book? If so, please comment. If you’re just curious, here’s the blurb. Fly fishing is dangerous?   River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren’t responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott—a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott’s family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes that trolling for the true killer has plunged her way too deep into wick...
