I created the first military romantic suspense in March 1989 with the publishing of CAPTIVE OF FATE, Silhouette Special Edition (SSE). Since I’d served in the US Navy in the 1960’s, and was a meteorologist (AG3), I wanted to write about what I knew and loved. As a vet, I wanted to have a “niche” romance like many other types already had one, but none were focused on military people and veterans and their stories. With the above book, so many military families and vets loved it, and the military romantic suspense niche was born.
Being in the Romance Industry for forty-one years now, I had wanted to write a lot more books than any publisher could keep up with my creative speed. To date, I have roughly 225 fiction books published, 95% of them through the known New York City publishers, and 5% from my own small publishing company, Blue Turtle Publishing. I have twenty-three military romantic suspense books in print/ebook in my DELOS SERIES.
Now, in 2023, I have now created my next one: SHADOW TEAM SERIES, a gritty, fast-moving military romantic suspense, has just been published. So far, I’m in the process of writing seven books for the initial phase of this military vet series. If you like action, gritty cliffhanging action and intense emotional romance, then come check them out!
LAST STAND, book 1, came out mid-February 2023. Its sequel, COLLATERAL DAMAGE, book 2, comes out April 15, 2023, and is currently on pre-order. NO QUARTER, Book 3, will be on pre-order about three weeks ahead of the actual publishing date of 8.13.2023. If you are a supporter of Ukraine’s democracy, you will love this one because the hero is from that country. UNFORGETTABLE, Book 4, will be a Christmas gift for December 7, 2023.
I’m working on the others for 2024! Love to hear from my loyal readers! Drop me a note on my website.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE by Lindsay McKenna
Ex-SEAL Cal Sinclaire is going to marry Sky Lambert, and everything seems to be a dream come true for both of them until a shocking event occurs. Sky disappeared on the day before her wedding. Anguished, Cal calls on his old SEAL team friends, together with a Master Chief at the SEAL units, to try to find Sky. No one has any idea who did it or why. They have no evidence to go on to locate her. She could be anywhere in the world, and his SEAL team dives into finding microscopic clues to her possible whereabouts. Come hell or high water, they will find her…or else.
Sky’s whole world implodes as she slowly regains consciousness and finds herself bound, gagged and blindfolded after being heavily drugged. She has no idea who has done this to her, where she is or where they are taking her. Her heart cries out for Cal, for all they’ve gone through over the years, and for finally being able to admit their binding love to one another. WHO has done this to her? All the years in Witness Protection, hiding at the ends of the Earth from a crazed Russian man who wanted her for his own, whether she wanted to be his or not. She was rid of him, killed earlier in the Peruvian jungle. Her dreams are destroyed, and Sky sees no way out–not realizing she is collateral damage.
