Calvin Murdock:
After giving twenty years of my life to the US Navy, I retired, happy to still be in one piece.
Now I'm back home, helping my brothers run our family timber company in the small mountain town where we grew up.
Tyler was a kid in my command; fifteen years my junior, cocky, smart, and in love with his girl back home.
I haven't thought about him in years-- until Penny shows up on my doorstep one night; widowed, in danger, with nowhere else to go.
With my history with the SEAL team, I'm more than qualified to keep her safe, but when Penny's soft curves and longing looks start to distract me, I start wondering if I'm qualified to be more than just her bodyguard.
Clinton Murdock's book is on pre-order for only 99 cents.
It releases on September 24, and will be in KU
After scrambling to avoid several disasters last week: more cloudy days than my current power set up can handle, finding camping with electrical hookups on a holiday weekend, and making the hard deadline to get Calvin and Penny's story uploaded in time to make Amazon's pre-order window-- I gave myself a little extra time for Clinton and Natalie's story.
Ideally, this means I also have some time to explore the Olympic peninsula while I'm calling it home for the next couple of weeks.
Some people have chided me for not enthusiastically looking forward arriving in Forks, WA on dates that coincide with the upcoming Twilight Festival (I can't believe Twilight is 20 years old!) but-- confession time: I've never read nor seen Twilight.
I have a few friends who were deep into the series, and they were kind enough (translated: insisted on) walking me through the story. But I'm actually old enough to be of the "my vampires don't sparkle" generation.
I will also going through Astoria, Oregon on this trip-- remember when I said I was old? I'm excited to finally get to visit the Goondocks. IYKYK
Meanwhile:
After you've grabbed Guarded by the Lumberjack and pre-ordered Kept by the Lumberjack, check out the Small Town promo going in on in the link below and pick out some free books to read while you suffer through the wait for Clinton's book!
(The Last First Date is in the giveaway. If you haven't read the Do-Over Pact, it's a collection of five quick, small town reads featuring a group of girlfriends, several pitchers of mimosas, and a (short-lived, I mean, come on, have you met me?) chastity pact to stop wasting time on Mr. Right Now and wait for Mr. Right.
