“When I’m around you I start thinking long-term.” He said it quietly.
Tommy didn’t answer.
“I figure that my best bet is to convince you to stay with me by throwing in a free annual trip to Hawaii.”
This time Tommy laughed.
Turning to him, she threw her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe so their noses touched.
“Detective Kelly, you don’t have to bribe me. I’m all yours.”
UP NEXT: SANCTUARY City.
There is something terribly wrong in Sanctuary City, and Maggie is the only one willing to uncover the truth—no matter how high the price.
When Maggie Bychowski starts her job as a police officer in Sanctuary City, the small northern California town seems as bucolic as its name. Too soon, she discovers the thin blue line is as crooked as a drunk walking heel to toe. When Maggie tries to shed light on what’s really going on under the surface in the town, the powers that be mobilize to protect their own.
But when Shadowman, an online fantasy character, starts luring local girls into doing his deadly bidding, concerns about shady dealings in the town take a back seat to a powerful evil that threatens to destroy everyone in its path.
Maggie has an impossible choice: risk it all or lose it all.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
GETTING TO KNOW MY readers and building strong relationships with them is one of the best parts of being a writer. I’d love to know more about you and more about what you thought about this book. What did you like about it? Who was your favorite character? What do you want to see, or think will happen next?
Please reach out to me and let me know. I want to hear from you. Because while I’m a writer, I’m always a reader first. I know that when it comes to the books I read, I love connecting with the author. Often, when I interact with authors I love I get downright giddy!
Ask my family how I act each and every time S.E. Hinton responds to my tweets. (HINT: I am a ridiculously starstruck fangirl! Every. Single. Time.)
Or what about the time I got to interview Jackie Collins on Huffington Post’s live video. (Still one of the greatest moments of my writer life!) (Only thing that tops that is when I opened up an email from Lisa Unger telling me that she read and liked my book and would be happy to support it with a quote we could use on the book cover! A dream come true right then and there!
Or years and years ago when I was a new, sleep-deprived mother who looked forward to my monthly book club for every second of the days leading up to it and having the New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani call into our bookclub. (I had her on speakerphone and when I said hello, she said, “Hey, baby, how’s it going?” and proceeded to chat with us and talk to us about what we thought would happen in her next book.
I told myself right then and there that if I were ever a published author I would interact with readers the say she did. And sometimes dreams come true! I’m a published writer who has readers who enjoy my books. Even writing that still seems surreal.
So, all of this leads me to tell you about my two favorite ways to interact with my readers:
My newsletter. My private Facebook group. Hopefully you will consider joining both.
I send out a newsletter with details of new releases, special offers, giveaways and other bits of news about my books.

DID YOU LIKE THIS BOOK?
REVIEWS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD of this author business. Reviews, honest reviews, mean the world to me. They don’t have to be fancy, either. Nobody is critiquing you on your review. And they don’t always have to be five-star, either. What matters is that people are reading and have opinions on my books. I am a fairly new writer and don’t have the marketing push that many other writers do that gets their books out in front of other readers.
What I do have is you.
I am unbelievably lucky to have very passionate and loyal readers who take the time to let me know what they think of my books (and sometimes even where they think I could improve).
If you liked this book, I would be extremely grateful if you could take a few minutes out of your day to leave a review. As I said, it doesn’t need to be long or involved, anything will help. Thank you!
