It was a story of empowerment and of not settling. Sive was a likable woman put through the wringer but who came out stronger because of it. Adrian was truly romantic in all his words and deeds and I'm still dreaming of his Adonis looks and kind heart. Their one night together was scorching after an initial meeting that crackled with sexual tension. Along with the strong personal connections was a loving tribute to Dublin itself through the vividly depicted scenery and colorful denizens that made you feel like you were there. All in all it was a story that fully immersed me in the action from the very first page to the last and its rocky and romantic journey to its satisfying conclusion well worth it.</i> - J.

He was once a highly decorated homicide detective with the San Francisco Police Department. When tragedy struck his family, he left the force to pursue his own investigation into who killed his 2 year old daughter and her dog, and what happened to his wife. To fund his investigation, he's become a licensed private investigator and opening his office, Jack Slaughter Private Investigations and Security.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Book one, </span><a href="http://jackslaughter.blogspot.com/p/slaughtered.html" style="font-size: large;" target="_blank"><b>Slaughtered</b></a><span style="font-size: large;">, opens three years after losing his family. The Texter has been stalking him, using his wife's disappearance as a way of getting under Jack's skin. After taking a case of a missing women, Jack falls headlong into an open case. The Butcher has been killing women, defleshing their bones, then disposing of the bodies in random places around the city.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Book two, <a href="http://jackslaughter.blogspot.com/p/witness-to-slaughter.html" target="_blank"><b>Witness to Slaughter</b></a>, opens later that same year. It's the holidays--always a hard time of year since losing his family--and the black dog of depression has its grip on him. It drags him from his apartment and takes him walking across the city. Gunfire draws Jack into an alley where he finds the dying body of a woman. Police arrive on the scene and detain Jack as he's covered in the woman's blood. Taking a case to follow a husband suspected of cheating, Jack discovers there's another killer lose in the city, and he's targeting the LGBTQ community. Does the city have another serial killer on its hands?</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilHnQZIutqAQt6_f11Eg2CX8W1-4beSLlkjCsjyKRpVeyJytctfPKlkQ902b2gpsTzGlpTnSxMJ8JmsPewIoWFaFGrunxQnDHO-hp4_-7sw_iQTGMUkJ2zema7upgZrvmPcOXRiw/s750/SlaughteredbyKALugo500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilHnQZIutqAQt6_f11Eg2CX8W1-4beSLlkjCsjyKRpVeyJytctfPKlkQ902b2gpsTzGlpTnSxMJ8JmsPewIoWFaFGrunxQnDHO-hp4_-7sw_iQTGMUkJ2zema7upgZrvmPcOXRiw/s320/SlaughteredbyKALugo500.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifm-uKCgcQf-u9r53KPxIeJlMElto6iM1wpN7YJ8YWlgqZuMQbm24evbd3O0hcj4FJLxTJ-lcWWfxkiGL0JS9qNSOH5zny8Euivw74_C62fNA1wudeL5veoPCpizHICQEJt7JSGg/s750/WitnesstoSlaughterbyKALugo500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifm-uKCgcQf-u9r53KPxIeJlMElto6iM1wpN7YJ8YWlgqZuMQbm24evbd3O0hcj4FJLxTJ-lcWWfxkiGL0JS9qNSOH5zny8Euivw74_C62fNA1wudeL5veoPCpizHICQEJt7JSGg/s320/WitnesstoSlaughterbyKALugo500.jpg" /></a><br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://tirgearrpublishing.com/authors/Lugo_KA/slaughtered.htm" target="_blank">Slaughtered</a> </b>is available now as an ebook, trade paperback, and hard cover from all major book vendors.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://tirgearrpublishing.com/authors/Lugo_KA/witness-to-slaughter.htm" target="_blank"><b>Witness to Slaughter</b></a> is available preorder now for just 99c on Amazon!

OK, so this isn't a new series, but I've never been happy with the original covers.<br />
<br />
Until now!<br />
<br />
Thanks to Alex Ramos at <a href="https://www.artdesigns-illustrations.com/" target="_blank">ARt Designs+Illustration</a> for my new custom illustrations for my Carmel Charmers series: Tutti-Frutti Blues and Dude Looks Like A Lady.<br />

<u>Carmel Charmers series:</u> Simply Elegant and Makes you Smile<br />
The Carmel Charmers are fun fast reads that make you smile. They are well written and entertaining to read. I went through them while breastfeeding and pumping. Great for when you need to stop and start reading often. I highly recommend if you are looking for something quick and simple that will make you happy. They definitely make me want to move to a tiny coastal town somewhere. ~ Cheyenne Johnson, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3JKOW93G3AWY7" target="_blank">Amazon</a><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have you ever heard of a 'gratitude jar'?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Every day you write down something that made you happy that day...a good deed you did for others (RAK...random act of kindness), something good that happened to you, good news received or given...anything that made you smile or laugh or that brought joy to your day. No need to elaborate. Something as simple as "I paid for the coffee for the lady in line behind me" or "me time, coloring" or "walked on the beach"...Anything that makes you happy or laugh. It doesn't have to be grandiose...just something happy. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image may contain: text" height="266" src="https://scontent.fdub5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/26165377_10215267500264694_275869352509937576_n.jpg?oh=e627e2dec499da457181c2fa669f73c0&oe=5ABB4DDC" width="400" /></div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add to this by setting a coin jar beside the gratitude jar. For those days when you don't feel you have anything to be grateful for, put a quarter (25c) into it. Or 20p or 20 eu cent, or something equivalent to wherever you live. At 25c, it's only about $91, but that $91 can go a long way to a charity in need. Of course, you're welcome to add additional spare change to the jar! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the end of the year, you should have two things to look at that will make you happy...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">✴️ Gratitude jar -- Read through all of the notes to see all of the things that made you happy through the year. (let's try keeping politics and religion out of it and focus on YOU)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">✴️ Coin jar -- Use this money to donate to a needy charity. Even if those days you dropped coins in the jar you didn't feel great, donating your collected coins should make you happy! Donating can be as simple as putting the coins into one of the dogs for the blind coin boxes, or donating the money to your nearest soup kitchen.</span></span><br />

<br />
Even though I'm a writer, I sometimes have a hard time finding something interesting to say between books.<br />
<br />
As readers, what do you like seeing on author pages like this between book releases?<br />
<br />
My current WIP is set in San Francisco. A far cry from the Irish set stories I normally write. In fact, in 14 published titles, only two are set elsewhere...Wales (<a href="http://kemberlee.blogspot.com/p/abcs-of-s-e-x-love-by-letter.html" target="_blank">Awakening</a>, my only published historical) and India (<a href="http://kemberlee.blogspot.com/p/one-night-in-new-delhi.html" target="_blank">One Night in New Delhi</a>, part of the City Nights series).<br />
<br />
My repertoire also is normally all about romance. The only non-romance book I've written is <a href="http://kemberlee.blogspot.com/p/sassy-obrien-series.html" target="_blank">Murder in Mornington</a>, which is a cozy mystery, though there is a lot of flirting in the story. Over the series, I'm building the relationship between Sassy and the detective, but will it consummate or will they go their own ways? Sassy certainly has been adamant about not wanting a man in her life.<br />
<br />
So the new WIP is 180 degrees away from romance. Not a kiss, no tender touch, no driving passion...other than to catch the bad guy. I'm calling this new series Jack Reacher meets the Streets of San Francisco.<br />
<br />
This is a complete change for me, and will be too for readers who are used to my romances.<br />
<br />
So, what I'd like to know is:<br />
<br />
<i>Do you have any questions or comments about this new direction I'm taking?</i><br />
<br />
<i>What do you want to know about the story or my protagonist?</i><br />
<br />
<i>Or anything else...</i><br />
<br />

Or use the mailer on the right. I love chatting with my readers. So let's start a conversation!<br />

<br />
So here's one of my favorite snogs. This is from book three in my Irish Pride series, <a href="http://kemberlee.blogspot.com/p/shape-of-my-heart.html" target="_blank">SHAPE OF MY HEART</a>. Grainne and JD have been at odds since their first meeting, but much of it has been laced in pent up desire..<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLNhN8RuBvnG7DDrbfkeuUhAmNbk5lScYhdOzVR4jxTiJivhSTtKM5OsAMdVXZghX6fWH_BbWTNhcT2kjRfdSen2b00ukdRnBqkrRVbHEqSfTTbkPR5FBNw29FoIp7UAw3lXuTA/s1600/SOMHbyKemberleeShortland500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLNhN8RuBvnG7DDrbfkeuUhAmNbk5lScYhdOzVR4jxTiJivhSTtKM5OsAMdVXZghX6fWH_BbWTNhcT2kjRfdSen2b00ukdRnBqkrRVbHEqSfTTbkPR5FBNw29FoIp7UAw3lXuTA/s320/SOMHbyKemberleeShortland500.jpg" width="213" /></a><span style="color: #674ea7;">She’d often wondered what it would be like to kiss JD. Ever since the night she’d danced for him in The Klub! she’d let her mind run mazes through her fantasies about him. She’d permitted herself the fantasies, because that’s all she’d allowed herself until school was done and she had the education she craved. But this was no fantasy. JD was nothing like anything her wild imagination could ever conjure. He was pure flesh, hardness and heat, and his kiss had her undone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Instinct took over, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Tilting her head, she parted her lips and welcomed his intruding tongue. The moment they touched, JD groaned deep in his throat and his arms hauled her against him, closer still. His hands were flat on her back, holding her, the pads of his fingers massaging her flesh.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Gráinne gasped when he pressed his hips against her again and again. No, not his hips. Something harder. He slid his hands around and grasped her bottom, squeezing it roughly, holding her as he slowly ground himself against her.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">As his kiss deepened, Gráinne continued losing all sense of reality. She couldn’t believe how easily JD made her drop her defenses. Was she so needy for a man’s touch?</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“JD,” she heard herself whisper, but he didn’t seem to hear her. Or if he did, he ignored her. “John.” He looked at her then. His eyes smoldered with desire. What she felt echoed in his gaze.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“You’re so soft,” he murmured, as he stroked the backs of his fingers against her cheek, smoothing away an errant curl. His gaze followed his fingers as they traveled down her neck to her collarbone, and then dipped to the cleft between her breasts. He used both to part the collar of her wrap, easily pushing it off her shoulders. Too easily. She couldn’t stop him. She followed his gaze to her breasts where he gently cupped them. Her nipples pebbled under his thumbs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">She felt his breath against her skin just before he claimed a nipple between his lips. The feel of his mouth on her was like lightning strike. It shot a bolt of fire through her body so intense she arched against him. She buried her fingers in his hair just to make sure he didn’t stop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Her body was on fire. Every nerve ending was alive with sensation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">He slipped his arms around her and the tiny hairs on his arms grazed her skin, sending tingles up her spine. The cool night air did nothing to tame the sensations racing through her. There was nothing she could to do stop him. Her will was gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">He gazed up at her while he suckled her. Neither moved. His gaze was intense, questioning, as if asking for permission to continue.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Then he moved to her other breast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“Jazus!” she cursed aloud.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">She should have said no.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">She should have said stop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">She should have said a lot of things. Later, when she had her senses back, she was sure she’d come up with several choice words. Right now, though, she found it hard just to breathe.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">JD rose and reclaimed her mouth. His chest hairs on her sensitive breasts enticed her all the more. She was forced to grasp the counter to remain upright.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">As if she wasn’t having enough trouble standing on two legs, JD hauled one leg around his waist. It was by willpower alone she was able to stand at all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">The instant his lips touched hers again, it seemed her whole world stood still; his fire consumed her. It washed over her and drowned her in a pool of liquid passion the like she’d never felt before. No man had ever kissed her with as much feeling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">God, he would make her come if he kept rubbing against her like this. And God help her, she wanted him inside her. Now.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">It was all too much. The realization of what she was doing hit her so suddenly, it left her shattered and weak. She had to remind herself sex was not love, no matter how good it felt. She craved approval. She wanted acceptance. She wanted to be loved, damn it! By God, JD’s touch echoed something she fought hard to name.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“No,” she gasped, pushing him back.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Every inch of her flesh was alive with feeling. It had never been like this before. No man had ever made her feel this way. No man had ever touched her so lovingly. His touch was loving but it wasn’t love. She barely knew the man. No. It wasn’t love, she told herself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">He shot his gaze up to hers, passion and confusion twisting as one across his face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">She was slow to come back to earth, but when she did, a wave of shame washed over her, drowning her contentment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“I’m sorry. No.” She pushed JD away from her, but her legs refused to support her weight and she would have sunk to the floor had he not steadied her. She grasped the edges of her robe and pulled them back together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">Her eyes filled with tears. She bit her lip to keep them at bay. She would not let him see how this affected her. She couldn’t look at him, but his fingers were on her chin and turning her toward him. His eyes were filled with passion and . . . something. She couldn’t read his expression.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“No,” she gasped through the tears suddenly spilling down her cheeks. “Leave me alone.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">It had to be the stress of the day making her feel this way, making her so vulnerable, and not that she desired JD. But she did desire him. She had since Halloween night when he surreptitiously stepped into her life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“Sshhh,” he whispered, and pulled her against him. “It’s okay.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">“Please, just . . . don’t.” He refused to listen to her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him. He cupped the back of her head in his hot palm and held her to his shoulder where she finally lost it.</span><br />

<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">Hannah Maguire and Sudesh Kumar had been lovers in Dublin City, both studying for their degrees in similar areas of Archaeology. What she had treated as a college romance, Hannah realized, as he was leaving Dublin for the job of a lifetime back home in India, was she had lost her heart to him.</span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now, five years later, Hannah is working as an archivist in the National Museum in Dublin when she's invited to the National Museum of India in New Delhi to inspect a new and rare artifact found on an archaeological dig.</span></span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">The last person she expects to see when she enters the museum is Sudesh. She didn’t know where he was, or even if he was still in India, but soon learns he's the one who made the discovery, and had been the one encouraging the museum to invite her onto the project.</span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">On meeting, everything they'd shared washes over Hannah—all of the love and passion, and a heart so broken, she still hadn't recovered. To make things more difficult, it's Deepavali/Diwali and Sudesh has promises to make it a memorable experience.</span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">Will this one night really be one to remember, or will Sudesh's secret send Hannah into a tailspin she might not recover from this time?</span></em></div>
