Kerry Kennedy's Blog

Hi everyone.
It's been two months since I last wrote a blog post. I can't believe where the time has gone. It only seems yesterday that we were at Christmas.
So, what have I been up to.
I published Santa Fe Billionaire towards the end of December and it has done well which I'm ecstatic about.
On Valentine's Day I released my new book Healing Hearts, a small town, friends to lovers, second chance romance. This is the first in the Willowbrook Series set in West Virgina.
I'm very busy working on the sequel, Cuffing The Law which tells the story of Marshal Deacon and Logan's sister, Daisy. It will be published in May. I was going to bring it out in April but I also have a new children's book coming out soon.
Outside of my author responsibilities we have had a wonderful start to the New Year and this weekend we are taking the first of our holidays. We will be visiting Zaragoza in Spain close to where we live. For those of you who don't know me too well, I am also a travel blogger and this year is all about visiting stunning areas within the country I live in.
I'm very excited for our 2024 adventures which I will be sharing on my social media pages and my Travel Vlog on my YouTube Channel which you can check out on the link below.

I wish everyone a fantastic year and will be releasing my next blog post towards the end of March
Take care, stay safe xoxo

Thank you to everyone who has supported me during the last couple of years as I found and navigated my way around being an Indie Author.
As another year draws to an end and we count our blessings and remember to be grateful, I wanted to send out a brief message to you all for being there for me again this year.
I released 15 books and was awarded three publishing contracts and also managed to put out some audio books. It has been a total whirlwind.
What I will be taking into 2024 will be the kindness from all of you because without you all behind me, none of this would be possible.

My latest book Santa Fe Billionaire is available on Amazon & B&N with the eBook live on all platforms. It was such a joy to write Ava and Sebastian's story and I have to admit that I may be just a touch in love with Sebastian. Definitely a new book boyfriend for you.

I was also invited to write on paid platforms and whilst I do this and publish one of my greatest joys this year has been writing for Wattpad where you can find my stories for FREE.
Healing Hearts is a small down, doctors romance as we follow Dr Sage Bennett and Logan rekindling their childhood love.

I wish you all a wonderful, peaceful Merry Christmas and for those who struggle at this time of year my heart is with you and my mind thinks of you.

5* Book Review
When you read a book and immediately want a sequel, you know it's brilliant.
Serve Me by Robert Steele a Wattpad book is absolutely amazing.
Plot
Alexa Moore has everything she could ever want; a boyfriend who owns a multi-billion dollar company, wealthy family, intelligence, and beauty. She'll step on anyone to get ahead. How far will she go to make sure her world doesn't come crashing down?

Review
This woman is one psycho but you can't help liking her for some insane reason. She's gutsy, ballsy, tough and knows how to play the game.
When her partner, Logan and her discover a body that has been frozen for over thirty years they take it upon themselves (within their cryogenics business) to bring the woman back to life. Only things don't go too well for our main character when they do.
This book is so full of twists, turns and a gripping story line you won't be able to put it down. The ending was superb, a real twist which I absolutely loved.
You can find this book on the link below. Bonus. It's FREE to read on Wattpad

Happy September and the start of Autumn and the BER months. Who doesn't love the autumn for me it is one of my favourite times of the year. The weather is cooler, the leaves change colour to gorgeous reds, oranges and russet. Then we have Halloween and Christmas also to look forward to. I always find the autumn months tend to fly by and it when I become more productive again.
So the summer. What did I get up to for three months?
I published Meet Me In Casablanca a beautiful slow burn, small town billionaire romance and decided to start writing a free to read story on Wattpad. Santa Fe Billionaire was born as a fun billionaire, smutty romance and well it took off. Today I checked and it has had 1.2K reads and lots of amazing comments.
I was approached by an editor of a different platform to provide my book with them to earn money. I did of course, I mean which author doesn't want a revenue stream and it was a brilliant thing to do.
My steamy billionaire romance has received a lot of attention, been promoted as a must read new book to read and my subscribers who pay to read has increased substantially. Was it a good decision? Absolutely.
Now I am finishing the book as it is a release by chapter or two/day and have just hit the 95K word mark of what will be a 120K book in just six weeks.
I have been loving writing this so much the words are just pouring out about the love story between Ava our travel vlogger who was recently ditched and Sebastian the grumpy billionaire. It's a slow burn, enemies to lovers and you can read it via the links below.
Whilst I am finishing Santa Fe Billionaire, I have also started a new book. A YA best friends to lovers, slow burn story about Tate and Liam. More to follow on this one.
Follow me on Goodreads and Wattpad.

I hope you all have a wonderful Autumn.
Best wishes

Hi everyone and thanks for spending the time to read my latest vlog.
How is everyone coping with the heat?
Here in Catalonia it is a glaring 37C and we are now at the point of closing our shutters in the day since we are not keen on A.C. More than anything it is a killer for sustainability and we all know how much I am pro sustainability.

On to my latest news. Meet Me In Casablanca will be live on 14th of July. A sweet, closed door romance about a girl called Ellie who believes her life is on auto pilot and decides to take herself off travelling. Only when she gets to Casablanca, she meets the rather delectable albeit annoying, Omar. In this finding your way romance, will the Hot billionaire Omar sweep her off her feet or will Ellie go back to her comfortable life and her long term boyfriend of thirteen years, Jordan?
Available to pre order now on Amazon. You can find the link easily by heading to my bio page.

The exciting news is that I have now finally carved out time to write on Wattpad and loving it. I've started a new work titled Santa Fe Billionaire, a hot and steamy romance that will hit all the right spots and guaranteed to make you blush at times.
Our girl the MC, Ava has just been ditched. Her fiancé Mark has decided that corporate life is calling and he no longer wants to be with Ava a travel blogger. What he wants is a stay at home type. This is definitely not our fiery Ava. Instead she takes herself off to Santa Fe in Spain where she meets hot shot Sebastian Garcia who she can't take her eyes off, even though he is grumpy and conceited.

Hi everyone
The time is flying. We are already in to June. This is exciting for me as my new book, Meet Me In Casablanca will be published on the 14th of July.

You can Pre-order this lovely romance book on the link below the synopsis

When Ellie's long-term boyfriend, Jordan, proposes to her, she is forced to confront the fact that her life has been on autopilot for far too long. Faced with the prospect of a future she never really wanted, Ellie decides to take a bold step and leave her small town behind to travel to Casablanca, Morocco.

In Casablanca, Ellie discovers a new world of sights, sounds, and experiences. She meets a handsome and charming man named Omar, who sweeps her off her feet with his passion and zest for life. As Ellie begins to explore this new life, she must confront her feelings for Jordan and the life she left behind.

Caught in a love triangle, Ellie must make a difficult decision about where her heart truly lies. Will she choose the comfort and security of her old life with Jordan, or the excitement and adventure of her new life with Omar?

Set against the backdrop of the exotic and vibrant city of Casablanca, this small town romance is a tale of love, self-discovery, and the courage to take risks.

Happy Friday everyone. It's been a quick week and I can't believe we're already nearly one week into May. Where does the time go?

I have now finished my small-town romance, The Baker's Boys an LGBTQ+, friends to lovers with sub trope, enemies to lovers. I am not sure when this will be released as I am putting it out querying and keeping everything crossed that I will hear something back within the next three to four weeks. Will keep you all updated on the progress of this beautiful book that is moving and brought tears to my eyes.

The sequel will come out later this year, again this will depend on whether or not I get the agent and how soon we can go to publish. I know with trad publishing it takes a lot longer than if you're self-publishing.

I am, however, now working on my new romance, it is a small town romance, with a few tropes going on. Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers and second chance. So far the words are literally flowing and I am absolutely loving writing this new book. I will be releasing it towards the end of summer as it will be a self-published book. Unless of course I get an agent snap me up for a fantastic 5 book, 6 figure deal. An indie author can wish.....

On to other news. Dakota which was my debut novel. A crime-suspense-thriller will be available on audio book soon. I am starting to narrate and produce it over the next few weeks, around my holiday to the UK and aiming to release this once I have done the full production on it. Keep an eye out on my blog posts or any social media posts for news on this exciting new audiobook. I aim to be releasing it during the middle of June if not sooner. We will see how that goes.

I also have two sequels I will be working on. The first one is the sequel to the Baker's Boys in which we will follow the journey of Melissa who is Troy's wife and finds herself now divorced as Troy has moved in with Bradley. I'm already excited about this book as it will bring back all the characters from the first book.

The sequel to Jimmy Choos to Cleaning Loos will be released during the Autumn. As we follow Isadora and her move to Los Angeles. Having left London in the first book and going from a spoilt, high maintenance wife to a rich man, she found her feet in the adorable tiny village in Catalonia where she realised that life was perfect in its simplicity. Now, however, Gerard her ever suffering husband has taken on a new role coming out of his retirement. It involves moving to Los Angeles.
The first book is funny and guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and the sequel will be just as funny as we see what Isadora can get up to being a personal shopper to the celebrities in LA.

That's it from me for a week or two. Do drop some comments or ask questions if you wish, I am always more than happy to respond and chat with you lovely readers out there.

Hello everyone
Are you all looking forward to the lovely Easter break. I for one can't believe we have hit Easter time already. The time has really flown by.
However, it is wonderful to see all the news buds on the trees and flowers emerging.

Today I wanted to share some exciting news with you in that my new Children's book, Little Miss Daisy The Strawberry has been published.

It is available on Amazon and via the link on my bio page. I especially loved writing this story about the tiny strawberry who thought she wasn't big enough to be chosen, when in fact she was chosen by a little boy who thought she was the sweetest strawberry of them all, building Little Miss Daisy´s confidence. It's a truly beautiful book and can teach children that it doesn't matter how big or small you are, size doesn't matter.

I hope that you will love this book as much as I did writing it and have fun reading it with your children.

Kerry
