N.J. Nielsen: 30,270 words
Adrian Clarke knows his life is a hot mess. This is only one
of the reasons he boards a plane and flies halfway around the world—so he can
escape everything that's determined to see him break. Lockie Rivers has worked
his whole life on Tenderfoot Downs. After his boss died, Lockie remained as
caretaker for the new owner—a man who'd never even set foot on the place. When
circumstances bring them face to face, a flash flood comes along to threaten
their very existence. Can virtual strangers work together to save their home,
their hearts, and find their own slice of heaven?

Prizes
Mine: I’m willing to give away a copy of one of my
back list stories (just make sure you don’t choose one which is already a free
read… To be in with a chance to win all you need to do is leave the following
in a comment: name; contact details; title of book; and preferred format).
Let’s
just say floods aren’t the best places to be. If you’ve been there all you want
to do is forget. I know I did. But sometimes out of the very bad we find the
very good in us all. Well that’s how I tried to write my characters. Adrian
& Lockie felt like family to me even if they live in a whole different
country from mine. I loved being able to create the Tenderfoot Downs property.
In reality I took bits and pieces from cattle stations I’ve been on here in
Australia and used those as inspiration. Luckily for me the rest of the authors
in the Flood portion of the Storming Love series were wonderful to work with.
Everyone had something to bring to the table and were willing to help out when
I was unsure of certain points in my story. I hope to be able to be a part of
something like this in the future as I loved bouncing ideas about Copper Creek
off of each other so that the end result runs together smoothly.
The
property I created is somewhere I would absolutely love to live. I much prefer
the countryside to the hustle and bustle of the city, even if it meant I had to
put up with a flood every now and again. Would you? I mean if given the choice
between the craziness of a city—any city—and the country life where it’s prone
to flooding, which would you choose? I know which would be mine. I
actually live on the outskirts of a small city, and I’m surrounded by farmland,
though more produce than stock. I just know I could never go back to living the
city life. I prefer my little piece of Australian heaven.
Did say that I have the tendency to ramble, so
on that note I want to thank each and every one of you who bought our books, I
hope you enjoyed them as much as we enjoyed writing them. I got asked if this
is the end of the guys from Tenderfoot Downs and I had to honestly say “I don’t
know.” I hadn’t at the time planned on writing any more to their story, but as
one fan said: never say never. So now
when I’m asked I say it’s a possibility, I’ll just have to wait to see if the
other characters decide to take up residence in my head and demand that their
stories be told.
About the authors:
NJ Nielsen: NJ
needs to write like she needs to breathe. It’s an addiction that she never
intends to find a cure for. When you don’t find NJ arguing with Vlad, her muse
or writing about the wonderful men in her stories, you’ll find her reading work
by other authors she greatly admires. NJ lives in the SE of Qld, Australia with
her family who all encourage her writing career even if she does occasionally
call them by her character’s names. NJ thinks that anyone taking the time to
read her stuff is totally awesome.
Jenn
Dease: Jenn
Dease is a Chef with a reading and writing addiction. The six bookcases in her bedroom are proof of
this. She was born and raised in
Pittsburgh with one of those families that have four generations in a four
block radius. The Redheads, or her
sisters, are the best things in her life. When they want to be.
Jambrea
Jo Jones: Jambrea wanted to be the youngest romance author published, but life
impeded the dreams. She put her writing aside and went to college briefly, then
enlisted in the Air Force. After serving in the military, she returned home to
Indiana to start her family. A few years later, she discovered yahoo groups and
book reviews. There was no turning back. She was bit by the writing bug.
She
enjoys spending time with her son when not writing and loves to receive reader
feedback. She's addicted to the internet so feel free to email her anytime.
AC
Katt: She lives in New Mexico with her husband and new
cat who, just as she does loves paper and words. She got a late start to her
writing career but is now in a writing frenzy. Go figure!
Pelaam:
Living in clean, green New Zealand Pelaam is a multi-published author of
m/m romance and erotica. She's loved writing since childhood and to become an
author is a cherished dream come true. She grew up reading fairy tales and
watching science fiction, horror and fantasy. When not writing she can be found
indulging in her other passions of cookery and wine appreciation.
Cherie Noel: Cherie’s been
in love with words since before she drew breath, and doesn’t see that ever
changing. She write stories, full stop. Sometimes there’s music with them,
sometimes they’re poems, and lately, to her great delight, a plethora of M/M
fiction and erotic romance. Yum. Smexy man to the second…or third power…now
that’s the kinda math Cherie can get behind!!
The
hair curls or frizzes as it will, the eyes are green and tend to look in two
different directions—no, really—and the rest is subject to change. You know the
guy who didn’t know if he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man or a man
dreaming he was a butterfly? Yeah, that’s Cherie, but substitute drag queen for
butterfly and wacky, wild ex-Army chick for man.
