Today, Dec. 23rd, I’m doing a guest spot on Kathleen Hayes’ blog Romancing the Word. Kathleen has been doing a wonderful 12 Days of Christmas Extravaganza with author interviews and excerpts and book giveaways and more. There are just a few days left. Visit her website for the chance to win a copy of Unacceptable Risk. You can also read the excerpt that Samhain has selected for The Rebuilding Year. This one finds my two main characters, John and Ryan, the afternoon of Halloween. After their first meeting, in the Chapter 1 excerpt I posted this week, Ryan is now renting a room from John. This new excerpt shows the guys becoming more comfortable with each other, or perhaps that’s less comfortable. Enjoy another brief glimpse of the book, which will release on March 6th, and good luck with the free book contest.
