Wow...can you believe October is nearly half over already? Can't say that I'm not ready for cooler weather, but I mean, seriously, where did August and September go?
Although I've known her through a promo group I belong to, I'm pretty sure, today's guest is new to the blog so please welcome Veronica Lynch with her new book, Caper Magic!
P.I. Nick Forrester comes to
Cape Brendan ostensibly to assist with Caper Madness, a month long celebration
of everything Halloween. In reality he is tracking a woman on the run. Within
days he is confronted by Annunciata Doyle, a vivid reminder of a pain-filled
past.
After retreating to Cape
Brendan in defeat and humiliation, Nunie Doyle's only hope was to make the best
of forced retirement. There, in this quaint tourist town on the shores of Lake
Ontario, she has earned the love and respect of new friends and neighbors—and
now puts her talent for helping women to use.
With the mutual goal of
making Caper Madness the best ever, Nick and Nunie fight tooth and nail on the
personal level, each discovering a new side to the other, sides that make them
consider making drastic changes for the rest of their lives.
This attraction: complete
madness—or sheer magic?
Excerpt:
Hank let out a holler just before a huge toothy grin spanned
the borders of his gaunt cheeks. “Top o' the marnin' to ye, Missus!” he cackled
to someone exiting the front door of the stone cottage next door.
Taking the concrete steps to the sidewalk in two lithe moves,
a woman in a slinky dress the color of ripe tomatoes glanced their way and
responded in a distinct Irish brogue. “And the ass end of the day to ye, Mistur
Pierpont.”
Intrigued by rich tone of her voice, Nick craned his neck and
found one of the witches from yesterday's parade—minus the droopy velvet
hat—passing within steps of Hank's porch. A bulging garment bag hung over one
arm; she looked headed in the direction of the pier at the end of Vincentian
Lane. Damned if right then a wind didn't jump up off the lake and mold the
filmy length of scarlet against each curve of her body. Long black hair—and
there seemed to be a good ten pounds of it—flowed over her shoulders, caressing
her body like a lover as she marched toward Dingle Pier. As his heart bumped
into a trip hammer beat, Nick reminded himself to breathe.
“Ferget yer broom, Missus?” Hank called out to her retreating
back.
“In the repair shop,” she replied over one shoulder, winging
that glorious onyx hair away from lips painted to match her dress. “Gettin'
fitted with a couple of those fancy turbo boosters, it is.”
Hank chuckled, then went back to his coffee. “Turbo boosters.
That Nunie Doyle; sure is a pistol.”
An invisible fist reached down to grab Nick's gut in a vise.
As recognition flared, long buried rage took a slow crawling path up his
spine.
Wow..sounds like a great book, Veronica! Tell us a little about yourself....and where we can get a copy of Caper Magic.
Legal nurse consultant, victim advocate, sexual assault nurse
examiner Veronica Lynch--and her alter ego--Kat Henry Doran, has been there and
done that--many times over. She often travels to the shores of Lake Ontario and
the Saint Lawrence River to the historic Adirondack and Catskill Mountains for
settings in her books which feature strong characters who stand for the less
thans in this world. Over the years, she has been called many things, not
all of them flattering. The name she treasures most is Nana to the four
brightest lights in her life: Meredith and Ashlin, Owen and Kieran.
