Notes from the Sisters
 Wow! Thank you, my readers. You have made Operation: Fallen Angel reach #9 on Amazon’s Best Sellers List for Romantic Action & Adventure. I am humbled and amazed—yes I say that often, but I truly am. Thank you also to those of you who left me reviews and ratings on Amazon and Goodreads. I do read every single one.
And for those who have asked, yes, Shepherd is getting his own book. His will come after all four members of Delta Team’s stories. All the covers are posted to my page on this website (including Shepherd’s). Thank you again, my readers. Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret

Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret We are back from a very fun vacation! We sailed on the Carnival Sunshine from January 4-12, 2019. There were 8 of us in our group. Here are some pics. 1st row: RK sported this bangle bracelet every night, not confirming if it was a 3 shot flask filled with rum or Jack! Margaret stayed true to her wine in the evenings, but during the day enjoyed many of these mango-rum frozen concoctions called "Kiss on the Lips" and oh so fun to order! 2nd row: our view from the Serenity Deck (read as child-free) during the 4 sea days. The Sisters, Charlie, Margaret & RK viewing some of the art on the ship. The ship all lit up at night in Aruba! 3rd row: The sister's painted toes sunning during a sea day. Margaret on the beach near the boat in Grand Turk as a 20 minute downpour rolled in. Nothing like 2 Carnival ships beside each other! 4th row above: RK & Margaret on the deck in the evening with all the beautiful lights, RK & Margaret and their husbands ate dinner at the Barefoot Restaurant in Aruba at sunset - the view from our table! Rows 5 & 6 below: From left to right - RK, Margaret, our mom, Charlie & our aunt. In Curacao we went to the beach and snorkeled. The morning we arrived in Grand Turk the towel animal invasion on the LIdo deck greeted us - so cool! Row 7 below: Margaret on the balcony - that is the Carnival Breeze beside our ship. Another shot of all the towel animals, the sunrise from our balcony. It was a wonderful trip! Now it's back to working on book 3 in the Shepherd's Security series for me. I"m curious if anyone was on our cruise? Drop a comment if you were! Or just to say hi.
Again, thank you for reading our books. We are humbled and amazed by the success we've had and thank you! Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret Hi, Margaret here. The Sisters just had a cover photo shoot! We had 4 male models and 1 female (lucky girl) pose for covers for all our books. Charlie wanted to reshoot 2 of the Stevens Street covers she wasn’t thrilled with—knew she could do better, RK wanted a few poses for the Exilium Chronicles Trilogy she is working on, and I needed 6 more covers for the Shepherds Security series. The perfect Razor, Doc, Lambchop, Undertaker, Birdman and Mother walked through my door! Okay, so you are counting, 4 men, and more covers than that. Yes, my sisters and I share the men for multiple…covers – yes, covers, LOL.
In all seriousness, by the time our wonderful photographer, Harry, is done with the shots, you will never be able to tell we used the same man for multiple covers, unless you study each picture at length, which if you want to, please do. We’ll have them up on our pages on this website as soon as possible. 😊 On another note, the Sisters won’t be around the beginning of January. We are taking our mother on a Caribbean cruise. I’ll post a few pictures when we get back. It is going to be really hard though, not to write for 8 days while we are gone. I have promised my husband I will truly take a vacation. Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret   The 1st full date of release for Book 2, Operation Recruited Angel - both books were together on the Best Sellers List This was the coolest thing for me to see. On the same day, one of Charlie's books was on the top 100 Best Sellers List too. We are both very grateful for those who chose our books to read out of all the available books out there. Both of our books have been bouncing around, in and out of the top 100 Best sellers List for a few months. It never fails to humble, astound, and amaze me to see it. Thank you, Margaret I’ve encountered something that has greatly surprised me. People who give horrible, and I mean really horrible reviews repeatedly. I received 2 – 1 star really bad reviews on my book, Operation Protected Angel. When I read the first, it was like a knife through my heart that someone felt so strongly against my book that they would title the review Piss Poor. When clicking on the reviewer’s name though, I saw that she had 5 reviews over the last few years (I am assuming there were more that got removed by Amazon – I’ll be petitioning Amazon to remove them as well) and 4 of them were bad reviews. As a matter of fact, she was kinder to me than she was several others. Thank you for that, Ms. Nasty-pants.
I received another really bad 1-star review yesterday. Again, I clicked on the reviewer’s name to find 54 reviews, at least 50 of them were 1-star, horrible reviews. Why? I’m assuming just to be nasty. Question – wouldn’t a normal person who does not like a book stop a chapter into it if they do not like it? Why would they waste any time on it? And more so why would they waste anymore time to review it? Answer – I’m again assuming just to be nasty. Reviewer #2 read many books in the Military Romance genre, hating them all per her review. Again, why does this person continue to read this genre? The biggest problem with these Serial Negative Reviewers is that other readers may not know these reviews are being left by someone who repeatedly does this, and it could negatively and wrongly impact the sale of books. I know what you are thinking, there are plenty of other good reviews to offset this, but doesn’t the bad always impact a person more than the good? As a reader looking for a new book to read, how much do you take these reviews to heart in making your decision to read a book or not? I’m curious. Please, either comment on this post, use the contact form on this website, or email me with your thoughts at: margaretkay@sistersromance.com I’d really like to hear from you on this! Back to writing for me. I am nearly done with book 2 in the Shepherd Security series, Operation Recruited Angel. Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret  Wow!! Operation Protected Angel ranked #45 this morning on Amazon’s top 100 Best Sellers list for Women’s Adventure. A really big thank you to all who read it, and a second thank you to those who took the time to rate or review it on either Amazon or Goodreads! I am truly humbled and amazed.
I’m going to keep this one short and get back to writing book 2, Operation Recruited Angel. I am really pleased with how this one is coming along. I think readers are going to love Madison Miller and the relationship that develops between her and Cooper. Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret Yes! Operation Protected Angel broke into the Amazon top 100 Best Sellers this morning.  I am humbled and amazed that Operation Protected Angel broke into the Amazon top 100 Best Sellers rankings today. I have gotten some incredible reader reviews on the book and cannot even tell you how this feels. I am working like crazy on book 2 in the series, Operation Recruited Angel. I plan to release it before Thanksgiving. I truly thank those who took a chance on this first-time author and chose my book to read.
This is a very cool journey. Thank you for coming along with me on it. Our military members are special! I honor all past, present, and future members of our military with my stories. Salute the flag, stand for our national anthem, and thank a Vet for their service. Freedom is not free, a lot of people sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy. Don’t ever forget! Margaret I want to take a moment to recognize my sister Margaret and congratulate her on her first Military Romance book being released titled Operation: Protected Angel (Shepherd Security Book 1).
I apologize for not being active this summer on Facebook, however, I have taken the summer off from writing to enjoy my farm and horses, as well as a little traveling. I am back and refreshed, hopeful to get out the next book in the Stevens Street Gym Series, Scorched, which I plan to release before the Fall. While you wait, check out Margaret’s book, Operation: Protected Angel (Shepherd Security Book 1). It is available on Amazon. Read for FREE with KU (link on her page). Have you checked out RK Cary's Destined & Redeemed series yet? Links on her page as well. Enjoy the rest of your summer. |
