Book News About My Unlikely Hero

Tuesday, May 16, 2023

 Here’s hoping you had a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration with your family. For me, it was a quiet day spent with the family. My son and I got up to some picture-taking shenanigans. It’s amazing the simple things we can enjoy without being out and about in those busy streets.

I’ve been quiet about my next literary adventure because I’ve been working on some other stuff. Work has been work and I’ve been battling sciatic nerve pain for a while. I believe I’m winning, and will continue to do the required exercises, move around more, and eat better.


So, to share a taste of what’s to come in Rory ... this story is about an unlikely couple – an event planner and a dancehall deejay. If you’re familiar with Jamaican culture and you’ve heard of Shaggy or Sean Paul, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, look up their music. Reggae is a whole vibe.


Here's the cover (scroll down a little), which I have not shared anywhere on social media as yet. This book was part of the Shades of Romance anthology which has been pulled from all platforms. This novel came about between 2018 and 2019 and I guess the time for it to be out in the world is now. The early reviews have been good, so I hope you'll also enjoy Rory when it's live!


Blurb:


Have you ever been drawn to someone you knew was wrong for you?

That’s Nasira’s dilemma after she wades through Rory McGregg’s fans and sits next to him on a flight. An accomplished dancehall deejay, he’s charming, self-assured, and has a certain vibe that’s hard to resist.


By the time they touch down in Jamaica, Rory has her number and a promise to see him again.


The after-party she says yes to coordinating turns into a rollercoaster ride of frustration and interference, thanks to his celebrity status and bad-boy reputation.


His lifestyle and circumstances make Nasira uneasy, but Rory’s heart is fixed. There’s nothing he won’t do to prove they’re right for each other.

If you've made it this for, I have another feel-good read that coming up later in the year.


A rescue mission. A groom gone AWOL. A wedding at risk.


When “The Fixer” Alejandro ‘Dro’ Reyes vanishes on assignment, the Kings must do everything in their power to help one of their own make it to the altar on time.


Counting down the hours, five men and women stand by their promise to give the bride and groom the holiday wedding of their dreams. And when they give their word, they keep it. No matter what. Even if it takes a miracle to succeed.


Reserve your copy of Promise Me A MIracle for only 99 pennies!
