Notes from the Sisters
 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. Wow! Researching, writing, editing, rewrites, more editing, out to Beta readers for feedback, tweaks, final edits…all done! And yes, my first book is published. It is an amazing feeling. Check out my Author page, a link to Amazon will let you read the first few pages for free, read for free with KU or purchase the eBook for $2.99. The paperback will be available in a few weeks. Now it is on to marketing, more marketing, networking, advertising, and writing on books 2 & 3 of the series. I have also outlined 2 more story ideas that are talking to me that are outside the Shepherd Security series. I will work on those as the ideas flow.
I have been writing like crazy when life doesn’t get in the way. It’s funny how the creativity is working. I’m writing between the 1st three books of the Shepherd Security series – like jumping between all three books! Different scenes that brings different personality development out are flowing between all three books. My sister, RK, has advised me I have to write what is speaking to me, there is no forcing what I want to write, or what I think I should write. Madison’s personality in book two has really been speaking to me. I wrote a lot of book two and her scenes in book three! I really like the distinct personality she has and how it has come out. She is a much different person than Angel in book one, or Sienna in book 3. I am moving out my expectation of having book one out to sometime in the summer, but book two should come shortly thereafter! I’m really enjoying writing these books and I really cannot wait to finish them and share them. I hope they will be worth the wait!
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 It is with mixed emotions I complete the Destined & Redeemed trilogy with clicking ‘publish’ on Amazon, sending Destined & Restored out into the world. I finished it a few weeks ago, and then went on a cruise, letting it sit. I returned to it with fresh eyes for a final read through this week. With a few tweaks, I just hit publish! Wow, is all I can say. Two years’ worth of thought, work, editing, and more editing culminating in the simple act of publish. Deamous and Grace, Vlad and all the other characters have been constant companions. I know them so well, every aspects of their lives and personalities. How I will miss them! They are my first characters that I have poured so much into. I wonder if I will feel as close to the next ones? Josh and Cassie in From the Storm, or Olivia and Sabian in Intimate Guardian, both of which I am working on right now, will I feel the same for them? Or is the emotional attachment to the characters from the Destined & Redeemed saga special because they are the first I brought to life? Or rather I should say, came to life under their own power? We will see. Within 48 hours Destined & Restored will be live on Amazon! I hope the conclusion of the story brings my readers the same feelings I have regarding the series and the resolution of their storylines. Happy Reading! Remember, A word written that is not read, is lonely and sad. RK!  Everyday life is full of wonderful sights and sounds that most of us overlook. Many times, while sitting in a restaurant waiting for a friend, going to a rock concert, the opera, or the ballet the smallest things inspire new ideas and storylines that I hadn’t thought of. It amazes me that even certain smells can set off my creativity; a woman walks by and her perfume becomes her signature. I have dreamt up her storyline before she is out of sight. Things that are going on in my own life helps bring some of the stories to life too. I am hopeful you will enjoy the Stevens Street Series.
Book 1 – Saved is available on Amazon. Meet Andy, owner of the Stevens Street Gym, the hub that connects the characters in the series. He is looking for the right woman to spend his life with, has he found her in Kenzie? And Kenzie, her life was normal in every way until the day she wakes up beside Andy. How she got there is just the beginning of their story. Book 2 – Scorched will have more of an edge to the story. Butch and Madeline have a unique story, very different from Andy and Kenzie’s. He’s a fireman, she’s a chef. They both know about fire, but nothing has ever been this hot for either of them. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing the story. Look for it this spring. Book 3 – Seduced focuses on Andy and Butch’s friend Logan. He is the epitome of the bad boy who doesn’t believe in marriage or even monogamy for that matter. Gia wants to get married and have children, talk about two opposites! Get Seduced this summer. "Your seat is a verb, and your reins are adjectives to add beauty and shape." – Pat Parelli Back in the saddle! Charlie As the characters in the Destined and Redeemed Saga spoke to me over the course of the year before I put fingers to keyboard, I knew it would be a sweeping saga that spanned several books. The many characters had depth and stories I knew wanted to fully delve into. Books 1 and 2 were solidly formed in my mind before I started to write. Book 3, Destined & Restored was a little looser in its content as books 1 and 2 practically wrote themselves, the stories streaming out of me. I knew the stories of the many characters and how they would come together and come to an end for their HEAs, but there were some elements that while I knew where they were headed they have since taken on a life of their own. The entirety of the saga showed itself to me, stretching all the way back to the attack that left VemÜp devastated and it became important that I brought restoration for all…all relationships…all aspects of the story.
Book 3 will be the longest of the trilogy, and hopefully, I will do the story and characters justice. It’s taking longer to have the story finished, but I think you, the reader will believe it is worth waiting for when you read it. I won’t spoil anything, but what you can count on are a few surprises, a little humor, some drama, of course the Kindle-melting passion of the past books, and the HEAs for your favorite characters. I was planning to have this book done and out by the end of January, but with the expanded storyline, it is looking more like end of February. Stay tuned. I will keep you informed! If you missed it, my sister, Charlie Roberts published her first book Saved at Stevens Street in December. It is out on Amazon, KU, eBook and paperback. If you're looking for a new read check it out! A word written that is not read, is lonely and sad. All my best, RK! Hello and Happy New Year!
I do hope 2017 was good to you. It was to me! I still want to pinch myself that I have 2 books published and am nearly done with book #3 in the Destined & Redeemed Series. With 2018 upon us I’d like to take this time to wish you much happiness, health, financial security, and happy times with those dearest to you for the year ahead. May 2018 be your best year yet! Destined & Redeemed and Destined & Returned are both available to read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited, purchase the eBook for $2.99 or the paperback for $10.50 on Amazon. Congrats to my sister, Charlie Roberts on publishing her 1st book, Saved at Stevens Street! It is available to read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited or the eBook can be purchased also for $2.99. She is working on making it available in paperback as we speak. Her first review posted with 5 Stars declaring the story to be: realistic, compelling, emotional and romantic with a unique story line plus a whole lot more - go to Amazon and read it yourself! There are links on both our pages to go to Amazon to get each book. We also both have Newsletters - click the subscribe button on each of our pages to be notified when new books are out. We are both looking for Beta readers who would like to read our books before they are published to help make the stories better. You can email or use the contact form to let us know if you're interested. Passionate readers who will read and give their opinions within a week only please. A written word that is not read, is lonely and sad! All my best, RK! Exciting change made last week preceding book 2’s release. I moved the books to be sold exclusively through Amazon and am releasing them for sale and to read for free through Kindle Unlimited. This was a strategic moved spurred by the publishing platform, Pronoun, announcing its closure. Pronoun was amazingly easy and simultaneously released my book to 5 retailers.
My first experiences with going directly through Amazon have been very positive and I do believe enrolling in the Kindle Unlimited program will make the stories more accessible to many. I’m excited to evaluate the difference. Book 2 Destined & Returned is out and I am more than half-way through writing book 3, Destined & Restored. If you would like a chance to get this steamy read for free sign up for my newsletter (link on the RK Cary page of this website) and then register to be a Beta Reader! I will look for volunteers who want to get free reads prior to each new book’s release to give me feedback to make the stories the best they can be! A word written that is not read, is lonely and sad. RK! |
