BOOK DESCRIPTION

Wild Thunder




On leave of absence from the police force and desperate to resolve the intense anger inside him, Ethan James escapes to the Shenandoah Mountains...alone.

During one of the worst storms to hit the area in years, he's surprised when he opens the door to find Shanay Gold, an old friend, and sometime submissive lover, dripping wet and looking sexy as hell. So sexy, he has to keep reminding himself he's kept her at arms-length because of the future she wants. A future he can't give her.

When lightning sparks an old flame, desires blaze to life, and Shanay and Ethan are left with little choice but to roll with passion's Wild Thunder.





EXCERPT

Wild Thunder




Shanay Gold…the very last person he expected to see. He'd tried to avoid her during the last couple of times he'd been home to see his parents. A coward's way of things, but after their last time together, he'd resolved not to repeat the mistake again.

She wanted things in life that he did not. Kids, home, and garden, savings plans and forever-after. She didn't deserve a man who bedded her and left before morning. Though he'd wanted a relationship with Isabella, he hadn't been hurrying into anything long-term. Of course, that was before everyone he knew paired up…and seemed so happy.

Besides, Shanay was a family friend. If things didn't work out with her, he'd never hear the end of it from his mother. He'd never be able to look her father in the eye again. It had already proven difficult, and no one knew about them. It would be hell if their parents found out.

"Hang on a sec, would you? I want to get out of these clothes before I wrap the blanket around me."

Her words registered. His body jerked as she pulled off the sweatshirt, revealing a lime green bra underneath. His heart raced, seeing her luscious body encased by the lace. He coughed to clear his dry throat. "There is a bathroom just down the hall."

Her laughter surprised him. He didn't see anything humorous.

"As if you haven't seen it all before. Don't be such a prude. Besides, I don't want to track water all over, and it's warmer here."





INTERVIEW

Kacey Hammell




The Avid Reader: What inspired you to write Wild Thunder?

Kacey Hammell: The hero, Ethan. He's been through a lot, needed his story told, and is stubborn as hell. When he really needs to let loose he does it all in his own way. *g* Plus there's a thunderstorm brewing outside too!



The Avid Reader: When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

Kacey Hammell: My husband encouraged me to write and it was about eight years ago. I never had ambitions to sit and write a story but I did and I'm forever grateful to him for suggesting it. I love every minute of the writing journey - even when there are ups and downs - and can't envision doing anything else now.



The Avid Reader: What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

Kacey Hammell: That first book that I loved and that I remember so greatly/fondly, was when I was 13, and it was The Diary of Anne Frank. There were many before that since I've been an avidreader for decades but that was one of the most profound books I'd ever read.



The Avid Reader: What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

Kacey Hammell: There are many but I love Contemporary Romances and Suspense stories best.



The Avid Reader: What is your favorite book?

Kacey Hammell: Again, a lot of books on my keeper shelves, but along with Diary of Anne Frank, I love Little Women, Of Mice & Men, Les Mis, Pride & Prejudice, and anything by JD Robb/Nora Roberts, Cherry Adair.



The Avid Reader: You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

Kacey Hammell: Too many to list, but top 3 - Cherry Adair, Jaci Burton, Nora Roberts/JD Robb.



The Avid Reader: If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go and why?

Kacey Hammell: Ireland. My paternal grandfather told us kids so many stories/memories from his childhood before they moved here. I'd love to visit some of the places he mentioned.



The Avid Reader: When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

Kacey Hammell: Depends on the story/characters/plot. There are many hills and valleys to writing. Where one thing can come easily, there might be another angle that is difficult to shove through. When everything finally comes together seamlessly is when I smile wide.



The Avid Reader: Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

Kacey Hammell: I live on a cattle farm, and have been a cowgirl all my life. With a herd of cattle and chickens, we also have a budgie named Dino, a cat named Lily, and a Cockapoo named Peaches. And there are many rabbits and deer that move from field to field which always makes me smile.



The Avid Reader: What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Kacey Hammell: Tacos, chocolate, spaghetti (my husbands!!!), and peanut butter cookies. But none of it all together! LOL



The Avid Reader: Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

Kacey Hammell: Write what you love…the genres you love to read. Read as many stories from some of the best authors, identify the elements of each genre that really seem to hit with readers and learn your craft. Then just write and write. The best promo for any author is that next release. Never give up.
