Firsts…
So The Waiting Game turns one year old
today and as it was my debut book it got me thinking about all the firsts I
experienced with its publication.
This year has flown by, but I can still
remember the flutter in my heart when I first saw ‘copyright by’ and the copyright
symbol next to my name.
And seeing my cover for the first time? I
can admit that it took me a while to realize Big Ben was in the background—I
was distracted by something in the foreground. Abs can say so much, don’t you
think?!
Then there was seeing my book appear on
all the bookseller sites that I usually purchased books from. Typing in my name
and having my book pop up to buy—yep, total rush!
But as I raise my glass in celebration
of The Waiting Game being out a year, the absolute icing on the cake was the
first time a reader took the time to contact me and tell me how much they
enjoyed my book.
I think that’s why all the firsts
surrounding the release of your debut book are so special. The fact that people
are prepared to take a chance on a new voice and without any pre-judging dive
right in for an adventure, well, it’s the greatest of compliments. It is also
why writers write—to share a story.
If you’ve been looking for the next
adventure to dive right into, then consider the wait over! Here are all the
details you need to immerse yourself in The Waiting Game:
Blurb:
Five years ago a madman stalked her.
Kidnapped her. Tattooed her.
When security expert Cameron
Dexter—the man Brooke Bennett once loved—appears unexpectedly at her door with
terrifying news, the former musician discovers she can no longer hide from her
past. After five years, her vicious kidnapper is out of prison and on the
hunt—for Brooke.
Now he’s returned to complete his
art.
Cam failed to protect Brooke once
before. Now he’d rather die than let her be captured. With her life at stake,
Cam vows to keep her hidden and safe. Brooke, however, is done with running.
Unlike Cam, she wants to stand and fight. Emotions both old and new roil
between them, but addressing their heated past must wait. Together they set a
trap in London to catch a killer. But they soon discover the enemy wears many
faces...
And waiting is no longer an option.

Bio:
Growing up in locations like Botswana and Venezuela gave me quite the taste for
adventure and my
love for romances began when my mother shoved one into my
hands in a desperate attempt to keep me quiet during TV coverage of the
Wimbledon tennis finals! When I wasn’t consuming books by the bucketload, I
could be found pretending to be a damsel in distress or running around solving
mysteries and writing down my adventures. As a teenager, I wrote countless
episodes of TV detective dramas so the hero and heroine would end up together
every week. As an adult, I worked in a library to conveniently continue
consuming books by the bucketload, until realising I was destined to write
contemporary romance and romantic suspense myself. I live in leafy Surrey in
the UK, a book-devouring, slightly melodramatic, romance-writing sassy heroine
with my very own sexy hero husband!
