Just sitting here tickled pink! 2

by • Keri's Books • Tags: , , ,

Y’all. Do you know what y’all are? The best readers ever!

Yesterday I posted the re-issue of Through The Wall (it’s FREE! Details below). Not even twenty-four hours had passed and many of you had already grabbed the book. Some of you have already read and taken time to post a review!

THANK YOU

You’ve made my day, my week, my month. Seriously. I’m so completely tickled. Let’s just say y’all have set the bar high for Son’s Graduation this week to best it. I’m completely blessed.

Wall-green1
She doesn’t want wild and raunchy, just a little spice…
He wants commitment and long-term, not a quick roll…
Two best friends who both want each other, but for very different reasons.
The walls are thin in the Apple Trail Apartments. Ever since she moved in after her divorce, Stephanie has listened to her best friend next door getting busy. By the bed knocking on the wall and the gasping women, Stephanie wants to be one of those women on the other side. She just has to get the courage up to ask.
The only woman Parker Madison ever wanted long-term was the very-married Stephanie. He’s tried finding a substitute, but there just isn’t another woman like her. Now that she’s available, he just has to keep his hands to himself for a respectable length of time after her divorce. He’s planning to make a move after eight months. Stephanie takes him by surprise after three. Does he fulfill her request and risk becoming that best friend rebound guy or wait it out to better his chances for happily ever after?

New Books! New Series! New Titles!! 2

by • Ack!, Keri's Books, So new and pretty., What I'm working on • Tags: , , , ,

If you haven’t seen the news yet, I am so stoked to say I sold a book to Carina Press! With any luck, they won’t realize what sort of redneck, hillbilly they have brought into their fold until I have at least several books in. If you’ve been around, yes, this is the book I’ve been talking about when I had been saying “I hope I’ll have news soon on something!”

What’s the new book about? I’m not sure what all I can share, so I’m going to keep this short. Country, small-town and Southern but the fun new part? it’s LONG!! Right now before we go into edits, it’s 90,000-words. Several readers have mentioned wanting me to go longer and I have listened! So I’d like to welcome you to the new town of Bella Warren, Arkansas. I’m going to take you to a small family run fruit and vegetable farm. There’s some romance, there’s some scared feelings about facing the past, and a lot of hope for the future!

I think everyone’s favorite part so far is the heroine, Kara, cans jam. I have to tell you, as a canner, I’m thrilled about that! I was afraid many would find it old-timeish and that’s sad because canning is so awesome. While my hero’s most important role (other than trying to sweet talk Kara!) is keeping the farm in shape and the produce growing, Wade also invents tractor parts. His family is like Henry Ford in the tractor world.

And the title? I don’t know. :) I’m brainstorming some up now and that’s what started this post! Have you ever heard of wordle.net? It could just be me behind on the times, but I loaded part of my manuscript in there and it spit out this neat graphic!

(if you click the picture, it’ll be bigger). Well, I thought it was cool.

And I should point out that if you want to keep up with the lastest info on this new adventure, get some canning recipes, and get all the news on it the fastest–join my new newsletter! Just click here and sign up! (I’m not going to be flooding your mail every week. Just every now and then when I have something awesome to share!)

So. what do y’all think? And any title ideas off that graphic? By looking at that I’m getting Wade Backs Kara Just Like Time Wanted

maybe I should load a new set of words in?

Rough Tumble Is Out!!! 4

by • Keri's Books, So new and pretty., Tasty!, The Country Gal • Tags: , , , ,

 

Happy to announce my last book set in the little town of Apple Trail, Arkansas is now available!

Having her fiancé admit through email that he married another girl while away was humiliating enough. Telling the small town the truth was something Tonya just couldn’t face yet. With him in the military, it seemed easy to let everyone think they were still together. Just for a little while. Fast-forward through time a few months and Tonya’s restless, lonely, and unsure how to fix her lie. To add to that, she’s finding her best friend, Trent Iverson, more and more attractive.

When Tonya confesses the truth, Trent feels like his life is finally on the right path. Everything is smooth sailing until old fears that makes him controlling surface. He has to face the mirror and see his controlling ways if he wants to keep Tonya.

New Cover for Charley!! 4

by • Keri's Books, So new and pretty., You know you wanna read it. • Tags: , , , ,

I’ve got a new cover! What do y’all think?

 

It’s not every day a girl takes out the trash and is nearly run over for it, but that’s exactly what happens to Sara Livingston. Manager and waitress at a bar, Sara typically spends her days serving drinks and turning up the TV volume on the latest sport’s game, a job that is quite enough to make her mostly liked by all. When she’s dropped into a game of cat and mouse with a stalker, she has no idea who could be behind the wheel of the truck or why they want her flattened on the pavement.

 

With her private eye brother out of town, she’s relying on her brother’s coworker, Clark Russells, to keep her from eating asphalt.

 

This is book two in my new mystery series! Clark Russells and Sara’s brother, Brad, make their debut appearence in my first mystery release, In Her Sights, that is now available from these fine folks: Amazon | B&N | Kobo | ARe | Smashwords | ibookstore | Diesel

Some call her a killer.
Others call her a hero.

Lexie Olympia calls herself neither. She’s getting the job done because she can. A beloved philanthropist by day who’s nicknamed Melville’s Sweetheart, Lexie has the city wrapped around her little finger. Having been a victim in the past, left behind with the killer still on the loose, Lexie knows what it’s like to live with that fear. Instead of biting her nails over it, she takes action. Drug lords, gang leaders, con artists, kidnappers, serial killers, anyone who leaves behind innocent victims are marked on Lexie’s list.

When a neighbor leaves a stolen ancient dagger on her doorstep and skips town, Lexie’s left picking up the pieces. The police, a local private investigator, and a gang are all after this artifact and Lexie uses her nighttime persona, Artemis, to get to the bottom of things. Everything is going smoothly until she gets caught.

Some call her a killer. Others call her a hero. She’s finally here. 0

by • Ack!, Keri's Books, So new and pretty. • Tags: , , , ,

Goodness, I can’t hardly believe it. This past summer I decided to publish one of my favorite stories I’ve ever written. Who would have thought the months would have gone by so fast? I guess between working with editors, my many fabulous readers and pulling it all together, the time just sped by.

They have, and now it’s here. In Her Sights is now available at most online ebook stores.

Some call her a killer.
Others call her a hero.

The police, a local private investigator, and a gang are all after this artifact and Lexie uses her nighttime persona, Artemis, to get to the bottom of things. Everything is going smoothly until she gets caught.

Chapter One:

Lexie Olympia stood over her nightstand and debated between the .38 special and the Taser. Whoever was breaking into her safe downstairs deserved to have the .38 for an early breakfast, but it would create a huge mess. Not just blood. Particles and pieces. It would splatter over whatever was near his head. Considering the location of the thief leaning in her safe, the snub nose gun would have brain matter landing all over her diamonds.

Ruining millions of dollars in precious stones was bad, but it wasn’t the worst of it. It was after three in the morning. Daylight was way too close to be dumping a dead body. And calling the police after shooting him would guarantee the newspapers. Like hell would she have a photograph of a chalk outline on her marble floors printed. Or worse, the photographers could make some tacky request for her to pose with the gun.

A chill went over her shoulders.

She shook and grabbed the Taser. Fifty thousand volts pulsing through his nervous system would do the trick. Looked like she’d be the lucky Ms. Olympia tonight who bravely caught a man sneaking around her home.

She unclicked the probe cartridge and pulled the trigger. Electricity sparked and sizzled, signaling it was ready to go. She re-inserted the probes and hurried down the hall. Her pink slippers with fluffy white lambs jumping over fences silenced her steps. That and years of training that taught her how to move quickly, but silently.

The rest of Chapter One is available to read here

My husband has been reading and proofing In Her Sights. Every 20 or so pages he makes a comment about the story. If you’re on twitter, you’ll see the hashtag of #dhproofing. Last night’s comment was too long for twitter, so I posted it here:

 

Husband reads aloud: “You don’t look so good.”

He laughs and says: Hell no. No man would ever say that to a woman he’s attracted to. Ever. I can tell you what she’s going to do with that dagger now. She’s going to stab him.

 

Happy Tuesday All!!!

Win Some Books!

I’ve been doing a little blogging this week and I have some books to give away! All you have to do is comment!

Comment on the our heroes pick-up lines at Natalie Damschroder’s place for a chance at Connie Cox’s The Baby Who Saved Dr. Cynical.

I’m with Penelope Merrin and she asked me to go back in time to give myself advice! Come see what I had to tell myself. Leave a comment there for a chance at Lacey Wolfe’s Fool Me Once

Then finally, let’s go on an Awkward Date with Keri Stevens! Surely you’ve had one or know someone who’s had one. Tell me about it and maybe you’ll win Angela White’s Life After War: Book One The Survivors. Considering some dates, I can’t think of a better title with a post!

All this is brought to you by my latest release, Rough Play!

Jacob Iverson has plans. Distant plans, but they do exist. Find the right woman, eventually settle down and do the whole “white picket fence” routine. But until eventually comes, he’s having fun with right now. Then he meets Flora, who blows him back a step. Or two. Suddenly his distant plans are rushing up to meet him…only not quite the way he imagined.

Abandoned at seventeen, Flora Simms has made her way through the world, found life and family in the form of two best friends. Everything is just the way she likes it. From life to love to relationships, she knows what she wants, how she wants it, and doesn’t care if anyone agrees or not. And what she doesn’t want is someone trying to tie her down with long-term plans. But Jacob Iverson brings images of the future to her mind, and heart. Jacob somehow knows what she needs and he’s hitting all the right spots. But can Flora give up her idea of independence to let him in?
