Jessie G. Definitely! The Forgotten Soldier Series will have 4 full length novels dedicated to a different branch of the military, a full length novel to tell Jared’s story, and a sequel novella for Micah and Garrison to bring it all to a close.
Jessie G. I received so many emails about Micah's Soldier not being on Amazon that I have now put it there. Unfortunately, they don't like perma-free books, so even though it's short, I had to give it a price of $0.99 and 100% of the royalties from this short prequel will be donated to the Gary Sinise Foundation. http://www.amazon.com/Micahs-Soldier-...

As for new releases, the end of February will be Talk Dirty to Me, the next book in the Devils Pride MC series, and then in the spring will be His Premier, the next book in the Sizzling Miami series. I've got an ambitious schedule for the year. All new releases will be available at Amazon, B&N, ARe, KOBO and IBooks. At some point they will do short stints in KU because I know I have many readers there.
Jessie G. Yes, my next release is Talk Dirty to Me and is Snake's book from Devils Pride. My goal for release is the end of February, so stay tuned!
Jessie G. Definitely. There will be a full length sequel to The Protector in the fall of this year. In addition, Colin and Jacky are each getting a book, and there will be two novella sequels to Safety in Numbers. Technically, that would end the series, but I love it so much I'm not sure I can say goodbye.
Jessie G. Yes, when I lived in Fort Lauderdale we made a couple of trips out there. It's a beautiful island in the Gulf with a lot of activity during the day. During the evening we found that activity harder to find but I imagine if we were regulars we might have had more success. We went to the Ding Darling National Wildlife Sanctuary which is beautiful to walk around. My kids like to remind me of our first trip there, it was late and we went looking for a snack. At one point I was stopped at a corner and in every direction there were no street lights, just what felt like miles of darkness. I mentioned it to our waitress the next morning at breakfast and she told us the island was a Turtle Conservation and that the lack of street lights, and even the dimness of the lighting around the homes was to keep the baby turtles from wandering to far into the island where they could be hit by passing cars. Needless to say the kids wanted to see the turtles then lol. We usually rented a house so we weren't near the hotel / motel areas, which I imagine offer more entertainment in the evening, but it was nice to have our own space to sprawl out, cook if we wanted to, etc.
Jessie G. I write anyway. If it's too bad and I get the harebrained idea to walk away from my desk then I clean something. Usually that sends me right back to my desk.
Jessie G. Hearing a reader say they love my book. The endless hours, the agonizing, the editing and more editing, the sleepless nights and burned dinners and messy house....all worth it for that single moment when someone goes out of their way to find you and tell you they loved it.
Jessie G. Every morning, afternoon or evening, write something. Even if it's bad, write it. Tell yourself that you are a writer and believe it. When you don't feel inspired, write anyway. Look around, make up stories about what you see or hear. Don't ever give up.
Jessie G. Book 2 in the Sizzling Miami series, For A Reason, is with the editor so I'm embarking on what might be the death of me. Book 3, The Protector, and a spin off Tricking Chase. I'm writing these two books together because there are parts of both that are interwoven and my goal is to have them come out about a month apart.
Jessie G. I'm always inspired to write. We could be out and suddenly I'm off in space, building a story around something I see or hear. Needless to say I'm fun at parties, lost in my own head and my own warped imagination :)
Jessie G. I woke up in the middle of the night with it in my head and it was so strong I got out of bed to write down my ideas. By the time my husband got up a few hours later I have a fully developed outline. In all my years of "trying" to write, that was a first.
