Attention Barnes & Noble Readers!

Season's Greetings!

I am in the middle of a new release for a novella that was meant to be free for everyone.  Unfortunately,  I have encountered ongoing delays with the distributor for Barnes & Noble.  I was able to load directly to Barnes & Noble, HOWEVER I am not able to list the book for free as I had intended.  I believe the free book will eventually be pushed through, but I have no idea when this will happen.

In the meantime, if you are anxious to read the short story on all of your favorite characters from the Bluegrass Series, you are welcome to pick it up on Nook for $0.99.  I really hate that you have to pay for your own gift, but I want to be sure that everyone has a chance to read it before Christmas.  I will keep facebook, twitter, and this blog updated when the book lists for free on Nook.

You can click below for the link directly to Barnes & Noble's webpage for Secret Santa, A Bluegrass Series Novella.

I hope you enjoy!

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway

The holidays are here and I'm ready to spread the cheer with plenty of giveaways! This promotion is running on facebook only, so make sure you sign up or find a friend who has a facebook account and you all can share the prizes! There are 12 chances to win and I will also let you know of other giveaways by authors such as Melody Anne and Ruth Cardello!  Here are the rules:

Rules of 12 Days of Christmas

There will be twelve separate contests, one held each day with a single winner.  The contest will begin on December 1^st and run through December 12^th.  I will post at 10:00 pm United States Eastern Time Zone the day before to begin each contest and the contest will close at 10:00 pm United States Eastern Time Zone the following day.  The winner for each day will be announced shortly after 10:00 pm each day.  Each day will feature different prizes and the prize will be announced in that day’s post. They will range from free e-Books, signed books, giftcards and more!  No contest will be first come, first win since we have people participating from around the world.

In order to enter each contest, you must post in that day’s comment thread on Facebook.  Some days will feature trivia or fun challenges of some sort where only the correct answers will be entered in the drawing. Some contests will only require you to comment and what you comment will not determine if you win or not.  Commenting will give you one entry into that day’s contest.  If you share the contest on Facebook, then you will be given an additional entry for that day regardless of the contest type.  Everyone is encouraged to enter both ways on each of the twelve days of contests.

There are many wonderful authors contributing to this event and I encourage each of you to visit their facebook page to check them out.  This contest is my way of saying THANK YOU to each of you.  You have made this an incredible year for me and I am very grateful.  Please have fun and good luck!

Facebook is in no way a sponsor of or a participant of this giveaway and is hereby released by every participant of any liability.

Kathleen Brooks' Rising Storm is Now Available

Rising Storm is now available for download!

Katelyn Jacks was used to being front and center as a model. But she never had to confront the Keeneston Grapevine! After retiring from the runway and returning to town to open a new animal clinic, Katelyn found that her life in the public eye was anything but over. While working hard to establish herself as the new veterinarian in town, Katelyn finds her life uprooted by a storm of love, gossip, and a vicious group of criminals.

Marshall Davies is the new Sheriff in Keeneston. He is also right at the top of the town’s most eligible bachelor list. His affinity for teasing the hot new veterinarian in town has led to a rush of emotions that he wasn’t ready for. Marshall finds his easy days of breaking up fights at the local PTA meetings are over when he and Katelyn discover that a dog-fighting ring has stormed into their normally idyllic town. As their love struggles to break through, they must battle to save the lives of the dogs and each other.
