2018 Sizzling Summer Reads

It’s summer! Okay, well maybe not officially, but in Iowa it’s pretty darn close. To celebrate, I’m participating in Sizzling Summer Reads. The event is from June 1, 1200am EST to June 30, 1159pm EST. There are over 100 authors involved and that means TONS of prizes and giveaways. Win-win situation all around. Be sure to check out their Facebook pages and websites as well as enter to win.

All right, now for the hint for my Q&A. Here’s my blurb for Appointed By Fate. The answer is in here…

One of Iowa’s most prominent criminal attorneys, Joci Dorous is ruthless and devoid of emotion in the courtroom. It’s what makes her the best. Her most recent client allegedly committed murder and, despite a rocky start, Joci is determined to win Cameron Shearer’s case.

Since this is her first homicide, she has the support of a second-chair attorney—her ex who wants her back. To make things more complicated, her hunky cop of a booty call, Cameron’s arresting officer, isn’t quite ready to let her go either. Who knew being surrounded by three hot guys could be so deliciously exhausting?

As the mystery of the case unravels, she soon discovers the true reason behind Cameron’s impromptu visit to Iowa. It’s this knowledge that endangers all those she holds dear. Caught up in confusion, chaos, and criminal law, how will her heart survive the final verdict?

Hopefully, you find the answer & win!! Good luck!

As promised, what release day feels like for an author. INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! Okay, there are sooooo many adjectives I could use to describe the feelings coursing through my body today. Here’s what happens. From the time you pry those eyelids open, your phone blows up the entire day (hasn’t happened since high school) and you pray to God your family hasn’t read the risqué scenes yet. Probably impossible, but hey, a girl can dream, right?

Next, you freak out when you see all the reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. Because who doesn’t love seeing how people feel about your book baby?! Some are good, some are meh, but they’re reviews and reviews are a book’s lifeline on release day. It allows new and potential readers know if the book is worth their purchase (it totally is, by the way). After I successfully drink 5 cups of coffee with something extra of course, I thank all the wonderful blogs and people who’re sharing the crap out of my book.

With hands shaky from all that caffeine, next I try to get some housework done because I realize the tomorrow is my daughter’s 8th birthday. (Hmm, did I wrap presents?) Anyways, more online chatting, stressing about reviews, and general nerding out and it’s time for LIVE videos. Dear God, I’m not much of a video person. I’ll be posting a few today, so if I have a deer in the headlights look, please know my stomach is flipping and I’m sweating. Yeah, nervous as hell.

FFWD to after the videos, clamoring fans, and second-guessing myself. Release day is over. Or is it? Never fear, the festivities last for about a week, so there’s plenty of time to soak it all in.

What I’m trying to tell you is, authors are normal people too. I’m one of the introverted ones, so I have a love-love-cringe-love feeling on all the attention, but I so adore my fans and readers that it’s worth getting out of my cozy bubble to make release day for Exonerated with Love a success.

Since the day could go a few different directions, I’ll leave you with this moving promise from Adam because I don’t have a GIF of Cameron Shearer….yet. Hey, Hollywood, let’s work on that 😉

Exonerated with Love Release Week

The time has come….it’s RELEASE WEEK!!!!!! I’m throwing confetti, but you can’t see it.

via GIPHY

If you haven’t been following on Facebook (do it), I’ve been VERY busy this last week. My publisher, Hot Tree Publishing, had an Author Spotlight on me and there was a giveaway on my FB page. (See you should’ve been following me 😉 ) I also raced around the globe doing guest posts on blogs and general promotions. If you missed any of my articles, I’ve included the links below. Over the next few weeks, I’ll also be on several more blogs, so be on the lookout!

With release day being this Saturday, April 14, I’ll be online most of the day. Since you follow my blog, you’re the first to hear, I’ll also be doing a GIVEAWAY of a signed copy of Exonerated with Love aka the book that’s releasing. The catch? You have to watch my LIVE videos on Saturday and participate. Don’t worry, it’ll be fun 😉 My dogs will most likely take over because they’re adorable like that.

Ever wonder what release week feels like for an author? Basically, you’re a giant ball of anxiety, excitement, and panic. There’s a weird adrenaline rush you get on release day, though.

What does release day feel like? You’ll just have to check back on Saturday. I’ll fill you in 😉

Can second chances really exist for a bad boy mobster and the only woman to ever steal his heart?

There’s a hit out on Cameron Shearer’s life, his mafia ties dragging him down the path of darkness once more. After a harrowing meeting, he discovers no one ever stays dead when you’re in the mafia. Determined not to lose the only woman he’s loved, Cameron turns to the Del Rossi mob for one last favor. Unfortunately for him, the ending may not be as happy as he once hoped.

Joci Dorous has it all. She’s happy, engaged, and just started her own law firm with her best friend. Everything appears perfect, until she discovers a suspicious trail of money in her business accounts and her once dutiful fiancé suddenly turns as shady as his mob boss. When strangers clash amid mobs, Joci is left to decipher who her heart truly belongs to.

Remember, Remember, it’s November

It’s my favorite time of the year again! From October to December, I love it! The hubbub, decorations, family gatherings, etc. It’s fabulous in my mind. Although, it could be because of my birthday too….. 😉
So, Appointed By Fate has been out and about for a little over a month. I’ve been to two author events (Beaverdale Books & Plain Talk Books & Coffee) and hope to sneak some more in before the end of the year. Reviews are trickling in on Amazon and Goodreads, so if you’ve read the book, but forgot to leave a review, DO IT (pretty please).
Thus far, I’ve had a plethora (yeah, that’s one of my catch phrases) of requests to spill the beans about Book 2 in The Mobster Files. Well, I can tell you this: it’s been submitted to Hot Tree Publishing and they’re reviewing it as we sip our coffee & avoid work on Monday 😉 That’s all I’m at liberty to say….right now…….

In other book news:
If you haven’t seen a calendar yet, it’s November! November means NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)!! Basically, the goal is to write a 50k novel in one month. Crazy, I know, but I absolutely LOVE it! It’s an adrenaline rush and a panic attack at the same time. I’m about 15k into my story As Londyn Falls. If you’d like a synopsis or stalk to my progress, check out my NaNo page https://nanowrimo.org/participants/skyemcneil . I’m very excited to see where this story takes me. It’s the first of a new series. Each book will be a standalone. There may be some cross-over, but nothing that will make the books impossible to read separately.

All right, well, I should stop procrastinating and begin typing my NaNoWriMo story to get my words in for the day. I’ll leave you with a sexy teaser from Appointed By Fate 😉
