Dangerous Play (Kate Green Book 2) <— BOOK #2 IN HER FAST-PACED THRILLER SERIES & Elise Hart Kipness is celebrating with a giveaway and she’s sponsoring today’s newsletter!

Fun Fact by the author!!

Readers often ask me if my main character, Kate Green, is based on me and my experience as a national television sports reporter for Fox Sports Network.

Yes! But Kate is a way cooler version of me. While she has the same profession as me, she’s also a gold medal Olympic soccer champion while I’m a soccer mom. She chases criminals through the tunnels of Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium while I chase my three labradoodles around our yard. And Kate’s demons are much darker and twistier than mine. Which is why she’s a much more interesting protagonist than I could ever be. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The island romance book where the mother figure has them bring her AC outside to keep her cool…

September 26, 2024 By Maryse 6 Comments

Janey is ALSO looking for this one! AC outside?? Oooof that’s gonna be an expensive bill. LOL!!!

She asks:

Hi,

I’m looking for 2 series I previously read but can’t remember the title.

…romantic comedy series I can’t recall the name of but the mother figure (not biological) always had one of the main characters bring her air conditioner outside to keep her cool.

Definitely an island romance series.

Many thanks in advance for help finding these series. ❤️

Anyone have a guess?

Janey: Paradise Bay Series by Melanie Summers. I finally found it by luck. Great Summer read also. read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story?

A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
