USA Today Bestseller List!

Rising Storm earned a spot on the USA Today Bestseller List on August 30, 2012! 

I am so proud to see that Keeneston and its quirky residents have made the national spotlight.  As a special thank you to all of the readers that helped make this possible, I'm happy to announce a special surprise for the holiday season.  Stay tuned to my blog, facebook, and twitter to find out more in the coming months.

Even the Keeneston Grapevine can't get this secret out just yet!  But I think you all will love it.

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.

Operation Keeneston: Nook/Kindle Giveaway for Active Miliatry

This week the United States of America celebrates our Independence Day on July 4th. As a thank you to the U.S. active duty military for their service I (and all of the characters in Keeneston) want to give them a chance to win a Kindle Touch and a Nook Simple Touch!

The more you spread the word, the more chances there are to win! With every 50 entries we'll also give away a $25 gift card from either Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes.

Here are the rules: 
*Please active duty military only.
*The name, military address and email of the military member are required. 
*I understand that many military members are overseas and can't enter themselves, therefore it is acceptable for family and friends to enter their name for them.
*Please only one entry per military member. Multiple entries will be condensed into one in the case of multiple family or friends entering the same person.
*For every 50 entries we will give away a $25 gift card with a maximum of 10 cards given away.
*No purchase of my books are necessary to enter, but I wouldn't complain :)
*The drawing will take place Sunday, July 8th, at 8:00 PM ET and the winners will be emailed that night and their names posted on my blog and on my facebook page.
*If you send any pictures, you expressly acknowledge and agree to their use by Kathleen Brooks on her blog, website, facebook, twitter or any other media outlet. 
*Winners will be notified and all giveaways will be sent directly to the military member unless they specifically request otherwise.


Here's how to enter:
 Send an email to KathleenBrooksContest@gmail.com. In that email give the name, military address and email address of the active duty military member you are entering. 
If you want, and they would be appreciated, send a picture of the entrant on duty for me to post on my facebook page and on other media outlets. I will also post a picture of the winner when I announce the results of the drawing.
I will be reading each of the emails, so I'd love to hear how you are doing, where you are , and what you do there.
Thank you for entering and thank you for all your service!

Rising Storm Announced

We're fully into summer in Keeneston! The days are long and hot and the sprinklers are on full blast! A perfect night for me is to grill out and have dinner on the deck. I enjoy the sound of the cows behind our house and sip some Rose Sister Special Ice Tea as I read at night.

Coming in Mid August will be the second book in the Bluegrass Brothers Series, Rising Storm. In Rising Storm Marshall discovers love is not always smooth sailing. But, with the help and advice from the whole town of Keeneston, maybe he'll find his happily ever after.

To get ready for Rising Storm, make sure you read Cade's story in Bluegrass Undercover, now available in all ebook outlets and in paperback.
