The following short stories were written by Prism Book Group authors in round-robin style during various promotional events.  Each author took a turn with the story (I participated in Lightning Strikes ), adding the next scene, with the freedom to take the book in any direction , and at times incorporating suggestions of event participants . These stories are offered free of charge directly through the publisher at http://Prismbookgroup.com or through Amazon.   I hope you enjoy these free and fun short reads. Lightning Strikes - After a storm, a major power outage leaves two at-odds neighbors dependent on each other. Forced to unite, will their animosity for each other crash like thunder or will they discover love as lightning strikes?   After The Storm - Bonded by a harrowing cat rescue, Luke and Rachel are instant friends, but they can’t deny their attraction despite their business relationship. Rachel worries dating her boss is a bad idea, but soon the least...

 Gay with Mindy I am very pleased to introduce Gay N. Lewis, author of the Sarah series, a must have series for anyone who loves books filled with romance, laughter, and that just leave you with a smile on your face when finished. So, without further ado, here’s Gay and Sarah, and make sure to keep reading to find out about the newest release, upcoming novellas, and comment for a chance at free Amazon download of Sarah’s first adventure. Thank you Kim for inviting me to your site.   From time to time, people ask me how the Sarah series came about. I didn’t plan a sequence, but the idea of Sarah has been with me for decades and finally came to life in 2012.   After the first book, I decided Sarah should help others, so I wrote a sequence.   Four books now tell of Sarah’s adventures, and two more are on the way.   How did you get the idea for Sarah?   Several years ago, I read This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti and loved it.   Th...

This week I reached 1,000 Twitter followers. That may not sound like much to some, but it’s huge to me, and I wanted to celebrate. I haven’t been at Twitter too long and I don’t use any special programs nor have I purchased anything to gain followers.   I just try to re-tweet interesting photos and news (mostly on books, writing, travel, and gardening), inspiring quotes, and information about my books, blog, and adventures.   If you’re not already following me on Twitter, please find me at https://twitter.com/kimmcmahill . And if you are, thank you. Your interest is truly appreciated. To celebrate this little milestone, I’m giving away a download of my Kindle Boxed Set, which contains three of my adventure novels, Marked In Mexico , Big Horn Storm , and Deadly Exodus . For your chance at a free Amazon Kindle download, just comment below with your email address or twitter handle, so that I can contact the randomly selected winner via email or twitter direct message (you...

This isn’t just another book release announcement, but rather a chance to get to know author, Judy Baker, and an opportunity to receive a free copy of one of her Silver Sage Creek Novels.   Welcome Judy, thank you for stopping by, and the floor is yours!   JUDY: Thank you Kim for inviting me to announce Book 3 in the Silver Sage Creek novels, Better She Love , now available.   I’ve been intrigue with the West from an early age, maybe because I was a Tennessean and watched westerns on the television with my daddy, especially Rawhide starring Clint Eastwood. Now I enjoy writing historical westerns, except I’d rather have more romance in my western stories than those early shows – like Kevin Costner and Annette Bening in Open Range – love that movie. I do hope you enjoy reading the Silver Sage Creek novels and would love to hear from you. To kick off my new release, I am giving away an ebook of either Better She Die Book One, or Better She Live Book Two to anyo...

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 bet...

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. We have a granddaughter who is a brilliant horsewoman and is very good at Marshall Arts, her sister is also very good at Marshall Arts. We have 2 gorgeous grandsons who are also into sports. We are very blessed.   What are your hobbies away from the computer?   We have 2 Jack Russell’s ...
