Hello, friends!
As you know, I've been working on a new novel. I'm not in a crazy rush to get it done, as I still have a lot of gardening and canning to do before fall. However, since writing is calming and helps me deal with stress, I've gone ahead and started working out the plot, characters, conflicts, etc... It also keeps my head in the game!
I was holding off announcing the title of this next novel, but the more I think about it, the more I want to stick with the chosen title: "A Kindness Returned."
It will be a romantic psychological thriller, but will not include a serial killer. I love writing about serial killers, but I feel I need a break from that particular type of storyline. But don't kid yourself, it will be choc full of romance, will be sexy and thrilling, all in one neat little package!
So check in often! I'll be keeping you posted!
Have a great evening, and read a book!

Blog Update...
Hello, friends!
On this lovely Saturday, I thought I would start my day by revising and updating my blog, while sitting in my office looking outside, enjoying nature at its best. As this is a fairly new blog, it is still under construction and you will note several changes and/or additions as time passes.
If you wish to read a synopsis of each of my novels, go to the ABOUT ME tab located on the Home Page. If you are interested, I have also included a short bio and photo of myself.
If you are looking for excerpts which, personally, I've always thought tells you so much about both the author and the novel, you will find these under the EXCERPTS tab located on the Home Page.
I read somewhere yesterday about the importance of bloggers making revisions and posting on their blog according to a pre-set schedule (set by the blogger). For example, the article suggested the

Just a taste...
Hello friends,
By now, you are surely aware that "Look Behind You" has been released in paperback, and will be released digitally on August 31, 2015. So whether you live in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Japan or one of the other 50-plus countries around the world, this novel is available to you through Amazon.
So I thought you might like a wee taste of what to expect. Here is an excerpt of this exciting new novel, Book 3 in the 'Safe In His Arms' series by this author:

No
doubt about it, killing is a dirty business, he mused, as he cleaned
up after his latest victim. A meaningful kill, in his opinion, had
to result in a bloody mess. The bloodier, the better. Otherwise, it
meant he had let himself down, had rushed things. And he never
rushed a kill. Ever.
The
kill itself was always chillingly exciting. It was the aftermath
which he viewed as grueling and tedious. After all, disposing of a
garbage bag was one thing; disposing of a one-hundred-plus-pound
body was quite another. One did not simply stroll over to the
nearest dumpster and sling the body over the top.
And
therein lay the problem. He was getting older and this was getting
harder. It pissed him

Hello friends,
As one who is fairly new to blogging, I'm not very knowledgeable about its workings. I so wish my readers would 'talk' to me via this blog, yet have not yet received one comment. :(
So here's what I'm thinking... Perhaps the blog is set up incorrectly. In my inexperience, I might have omitted an important aspect to the blog, i.e. a specific comment gadget which readers prefer to use in order to correspond with the blogger.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, or if you feel you know why this is happening, would you kindly write to me at my e-mail address and share. It would be greatly appreciated!
MY E-MAIL ADDRESS: krugers22@gmail.com
Of course, if I can figure out how to get conversations going on this blog, I would prefer it to e-mailing.
Thank you, friends! I will await your ideas!
Enjoy your day, and read a book!

A frustrated author!
Hello friends,
It's a gloomy day (weather-wise) here in Ontario, Canada, a sure sign that fall is just around the corner. I hope you are all enjoying what time is left of the summer!
As to why I'm frustrated, I'll be happy to share...
As a Canadian author, I find it difficult to accept that when I publish a novel in paperback, it always hits the shelves elsewhere around the world first, and Canada last. Not just last, mind you... It only shows up online for sale at least one week later than everywhere else!
I sell my novels through Amazon. They take care of putting my digitally-formatted books up for sale

Out of my Hands!
Yes, friends, I have completed the final novel in my 'Safe In His Arms' romance series, "Look Behind You" and it has been sent off for publishing! Its actual release date is August 31, 2015, so I still have a bit more than a week to wait (impatiently!) before it hits the shelves without a "Pre-Order" option attached to it.
Of course, readers who want to 'buy and forget' can purchase it now, as a pre-order. The way this works, for those of you who've never gone that route, is the customer pays in full for the book and, on the release date -- in this case August 31 -- the novel is automatically placed in your online Kindle Library by Amazon! How simple is that! I know it can feel a

Oh, What A Thrill!
Do you like thrillers? Not horror, mind you, but thrillers! A thriller is a novel that will have you closing your curtains at night, turning on lights before you enter a room, and double-checking the locks on your doors before you head to bed.
Now, add to that a little romance. Well, actually, a lot of romance! After all, someone needs to comfort you once you've had a really bad scare, don't you think? Then, while he's comforting you and promising to keep you safe from here on out, this sometimes leads to something else...
Sound familiar? Well, it should! At least when it comes to my 'Safe In His Arms' novels! On

'The Genius of Romance'
Could not have said it better myself! Read on...
Only an idiot would scoff at romance. The women who write romance novels are some of the savviest, most successful authors out there, and they've got the credentials to back it up.
The next time someone looks down at your romance novel, tell them about some of these best-selling authors and their remarkable accomplishments.

The next time someone looks down at your romance novel, tell them about some of these best-selling authors and their remarkable accomplishments.
Caroline Linden, author of our June Top Pick Love in the Time of Scandal, holds a Harvard math degree and did actuarial coding before getting into romance. She says, "I ran out of books to read, and somewhat idly I started writing a story of my own. It was a big surprise to me how much fun it was, although it took two or three tries to come up with a story I could finish." She's come up with a few stories (12 novels plus a few novellas) since then.
- Best-selling Regency romance author Julia Quinn graduated from Harvard and cut her stint at the Yale School of Medicine short when she decided writing romance novels was more fun than dissecting cadavers. She was also on the game show "The Weakest Link," where she won the $79,000 jackpot.
Eloisa James, best-selling author of Four Nights with the Duke and many others, is a Shakespeare professor at Fordham University. She graduated from Harvard University, got an M.Phil. (an advanced postgraduate research degree) from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. from Yale. Her choice for the most romantic line ever written by Shakespeare? "A half line, spoken by Romeo when he finds Juliet in the tomb: 'O my love, my wife.'" (From our interview.)
- Stephanie Laurens, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the historical Cynster series, has a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and began writing as an escape from the rigors of her life as a cancer research scientist.
