How about telling us a little about Donovan? He’s the hero in your Disaster Crimes series. Right?
Yes. Donovan Goldwyn, the hero in the Disaster Crimes series, is a monster truck driver. Yes, he’s the tall, dark hottie with a love for adrenaline rushes. He’s also romantic and a tad mysterious. I loved writing his scenes, getting into his head, and learning more about him. One scene I had a blast writing was when Donovan took Beth on a ride in his monster truck. There’s monster truck lingo, skilled driving, and a few stunts.
So, what’s my secret you ask?
Well, when I wrote that scene, I didn’t even own a driver’s license. Long story short, I had a fear of driving, which is funny considering my hero loved driving and went all out in his profession—high speeds, extreme stunts, and potential danger. Another funny thing is I am a huge fan of the Fast & Furious movies. I used what I gathered from movies and research to make Donovan’s driving convincing. But you’ll be proud to know I am driving now. Although I’m just a student. Nowhere near Donovan’s skill level.
What can you tell us about Seismic Crimes?
An Internal Affairs Investigator was murdered and his brother, Donovan Goldwyn, was framed. Now Donovan is desperate to prove his innocence. And the one person who can do that is the woman who saved him from a deadly hurricane—Beth Kennedy. From the moment their fates intertwined, passion consumed him. He wants her in his arms. More, he wants her by his side in his darkest moments.
Beth Kennedy may not know everything about Donovan, but she can’t deny what she feels for him. It’s her love for him that pushes her to do whatever she has to do to help him get justice, including putting herself in a criminal’s crosshairs.
When a tip reveals the killer’s location, they travel to California, but then an earthquake of catastrophic proportions separates them. As aftershocks roll the land, Beth and Donovan have to endure dangerous conditions while trying to find their way back to one another. Will they reunite and find the killer, or will they lose everything?
Ohhh sounds exciting… Do you have an excerpt for us?
The moment she realized Buck was shooting under the cars to hit her, the tire she hid behind blew. She squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to make herself smaller by pressing her body into the SUV. The Morse code of bullets hitting metal started up again. She could’ve sworn she felt the SUV shaking with the continuous beat of bullets slamming into it, except the shaking was below her feet. It started gentle but as soon as she noticed, it became violent.
Earthquake!
She fell backward and struggled to get back up. Her body bounced up and down and rolled from side to side simultaneously, which told her the quake’s epicenter was close. The origin could’ve been beneath the hotel for all she knew. A light came crashing down from the ceiling and slammed into the concrete floor with such power it exploded into a trillion stars. Glass shot out in all directions like the Big Bang. Beth screamed and covered her face with her hands as tiny pieces of glass bit the skin on her arms.
She fought onto her hands and knees and hugged the tire to keep from falling over again. The intensity of the tremors grew. The concrete below her feet didn’t feel solid anymore. It felt alive, as if two gigantic gophers burrowed through the earth. The truck behind her slid with the vicious shock waves and bumped into her, pushing her roughly into the tire. She let out a cry of panic

Top of the morning to you Chrys!
Good morning, Tena!
Vivid and exciting excerpt. I think you have a winner here. Good luck with promotion and sales!
Thanks for stopping by Judy!
Thank you so much, Judy! 😀
Loved the first book, when the characters met during the hurricane in Florida. Cant’ wait to see what you have in store for them now!
Living on Cape Cod, we’ve experienced hurricanes, but my best disaster memories are of blizzards and deep snow – and maybe the time I was camping with cubscouts during a blizzard where we got 36″ of snow…
Best of luck with the new book!
Katie,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Seismic Crimes does sound like a great read.
There’s A LOT in store for them on Seismic Crimes. 😉 One of my future stories with Beth and Donovan might take place during a blizzard. 😉
Thank you so much for having me on your blog today, Tena! I enjoyed sharing my secret. 🙂
