BLURB FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE

Hello All!

In three days, January 25th, THE BOYS IN BLUE:TEN COP ROMANCES will be released into the world. Again, I'm very proud to have IN THE SHADOW OF VENGEANCE as part of this collection. If you haven't had a chance to read the other books in my Shadow series, please rest assured. Each story is a stand alone title featuring new primary characters with overlapping secondary characters. With Vengeance, you will love Noah McNeil and Elizabeth Merlot, but you will also get a chance to meet all my wonderful, sexy-as-heck McNeil brothers. Hopefully, getting to know one of the McNeils is like the whole pototoe chip dilemma: one taste is never enough. You can always jump ahead of the game and read the first three chapters HERE.

It's hard to resist a man in uniform, and when it comes to these ten sexy law enforcement heroes, danger never looked so good. From street beats to under the covers, they're arresting, they're provocative, and they're sure to steal your heart!

Undercover Heat by Tami Lund
When Agent Kyra Sanders and FBI hotshot Quinn Daniels are assigned to go undercover as a married couple, trouble - and desire - flares. She's got a history, he's got a hell of a secret, and the only answer to this dilemma is almost criminal.

In the Shadow of Vengeance by Nancy C. Weeks  Elizabeth Merlot can't afford to let handsome Detective Noah McNeil discover her secret past. But when trouble finds her son, Noah may be the only one who can save their lives.

Montana Mustangs by Danica Winters

Love Is in the Air: When Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Jim Cromwell investigates Maine-based drug ring The Alabatross Alliance, the case leads him to airline pilot Captain Sophie Berg. He's not sure if she's an innocent or his lead suspect, but when she's kidnapped, Jim must decide whether to believe his head or his heart.

Inheriting Fear by Sandy Vaile 
Detective Luca Patterson has never crossed a professional line until he meets his new neighbor Mya. She's sexy, feisty, and he can't stop thinking about her, but her secrets coincide with Luca's case - and lead to an unexpectedly sizzling interlude in his bed. When lines blur, will love or duty ultimately come into focus?

Fated Hearts by Becky Flade 
Sheriff Carter McAlister offers mysterious newcomer Henley Elliott a job as his assistant. Breaking through her carefully built shell proves to be a near-impossible task, and now a dangerous new presence in the Cove seems to be targeting Henley.

On His Watch by Susanne Matthews 
Special Agent Jason Spark is enjoying some welcome peace and quiet when he's called to a 911 call and steps into a horrifying bloodbath straight out of a Hollywood slasher movie. Survivor Nikki Hart believes Jason might be the angel sent to protect her. But when she learns about the secret role he played in her tragedy, can she ever forgive him?

Ashley's Allegiance by Robyn Neeley
Ashley Whitman's ready to step up and contribute to the family tea legacy, just like her successful cousins. But as the conspiracy surrounding the farm deepens, so does her relationship with Sheriff Jacob Sanders. Their families have been rivals for years . . . will a union between them finally bring peace to Emerald Springs?

Acts of Faith by Jessica Starre
Everyone assumed Emma's brother died in a car accident. Then one of his friends asks Emma to meet her so she can reveal the truth, but the whistleblower is brutally murdered before their appointment. There's only one person Emma can turn to for help - her ex-husband, a cop who never wants to see her again.

Retribution by  Winter Austin
The homicide of a criminal lawyer puts Dallas homicide detective Remy LeBeau on a collision course with a professional assassin from his past. Is his relationship with professional barrel racer Cody Lewis the motivation behind the attacks - or a secret weapon that gives him the edge to end this nightmare once and for all?

HOW I KEEP IT REAL: GOALS FOR AN EXCITING NEW YEAR

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

I hope your week has been a good one and you're off making 2016 your best year yet. I have high hopes for this year. I don't make resolutions, but I do try to outline a few goals for myself. And if you share your goals with others, then they are more likely to be met because you now are accountable to those goals. So here are my writing and life goals for 2016:

  • Get my health back on track! 
The last months of 2015 were rough and totally unexpected. My strength and happy disposition took a beating. While I still have little control over the healing process [other than doing everything my doctors tell me to do] I do control my disposition. 


What you think, you become.

What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.
~ Budda ~

  • I'm going to finish the first book of my new series: working title: Marked by Visions by March.
This story has been living in my head for several months. I put it aside to write my first novella, HIS ONE WISH--the fourth book in Modern Magic: A Quartet of Fractured Fairy Tales. It was a little hard picking it back up.  Well, it's time Emersyn D'Azzo and Alec Pearce found their happy-ever-after and it's up to me to give it to them.


  • My third big goal is to complete the second book in my new series.
This goal is a little daunting. While I know who my hero and heroine are going to be, I haven't met them yet. As a writer, character development is my most important step in creating a new novel. I have to know everything about my characters: professions, personalities, likes/dislikes, mannerisms, quirks, dispositions, strengths/weakness. They become real to me and spend hours talking to me inside my head. There is also this thing that happens in every new project. My characters have a way of taking over the story. I know them so well by that point, I go with the flow because that is when magic happens. My goal is to have this book ready for you to read by the end of the year. Wish me luck!

  • My final goal for 2016 is huge. I'm going to find a better balance between my writing and my personal life.
This goal is going to be the toughest to achieve. I love everything about writing. As an author, I must write or my readers will forget I exist. But somewhere in the last 3 years, I have forgotten how to let everything go and enjoy myself. When I'm out with family and friends, I can't help feeling guilty about my poor daily word count on my new project or how I'm going to re-work a scene that has fallen flat. It's never ending and that has got to stop. I haven't figured out how I'm going to do this just yet, but the year is still young. If you have any advice to share, I would sure love to hear it. How do you balance your life?


Now, for other news that's happening in 2016. I'm excited to let you know that my publisher, Crimson Romance has developed a new bundle called THE BOYS IN BLUE. I'm so very proud to see my name alongside Crimson Romance's finest authors. The fifth book in my Shadow series, IN THE SHADOW OF VENGEANCE is the second story in this collection. 

The Boys in Blue doesn't release until January 25, 2016 but it is up for pre-order for only 99 CENTS!

AMAZON---WOW-0.70 CENTS!!

THE BOYS IN BLUE SHORT BLURB:

It's hard to resist a man in uniform, and when it comes to these ten sexy law enforcement heroes, danger never looked so good. From street beats to under the covers, they're arresting, they're provocative, and they're sure to steal your heart!

In February, I have another bundle releasing called Killer Thrillers: Five Edge of Your Seat Romances. The fourth book in my Shadow series, In the Shadow of Pride will will be featured in this bundle. And can I say...is that a sexy cover or what.

If you haven't had a chance to get to know my McNeil brothers, you don't want to miss these two bundles. If you have read the series, well, this is a wonderful way to get to know authors you haven't read. Win win.

Here is wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and exciting 2016! Again, I would love to know how you find balance between your professional life and your personal life. If you are in the same boat as I am, go ahead and share your goals in the comment section below. We can be goal buddies and help keep each other on track.

Hugs to all,

Nancy C. Weeks
