Hello, M.J. I love your blog and have been dying to get on it! Thank you for having me. I’m here to
share about my current release, Flying in Shadows,
and about the non-profit organization I’ve teamed
up with for the month of May.
Operation Migration is completely amazing. They
raise highly endangered Whooping crane chicks,
then teach them to migrate from Wisconsin to
Florida behind their glider planes. Sounds easy,
right? Yikes. The process takes nearly a year, costs
a ton and contains several patient steps. They have
an incredible blog that tracks, posts and updates
their followers on the progress of each year’s group
of chicks. Due to groups like OM, the Whooping
crane population has grown from a 21 in the 1940s to well over 400 today. During the month of May 10% of the proceeds for Flying in Shadows will be donated to OM. I encourage your readers to both
check out the links I provided below to OM’s blog
and to buy a book! It’s sweet, intense, filled with passion and suspense and, this month, is for a great cause.

Here is the book jacket blurb:
From the time she was a little girl, Rose Piper was sure of two things: she wanted to work with animals and she wanted to win the heart of her best friend, Andy Reed.
Now the most sought-after conservation biologist in the Northeast, she's trying to convince herself that one out of two isn't bad.
Andy spent most of his life following his dream of becoming a builder. Now a successful land developer, he has returned to Black Creek to win the girl he has loved since high-school and hurt too many times: Rose
But efforts to keep their love together turn dangerous when a decades-old secret brings a murderer out of hiding, sending the pair running for their lives.
And an excerpt:
Walking in the dark, Andy readjusted his tackle box. Moonlight shone on the dark ripples creeping
down Black Creek. He spotted a raccoon as he
crossed the bridge. Startled, the animal hissed at
him. Andy stomped his foot and hissed back; he was
in no mood for it.
He saw movement in his peripheral vision. Larger movement. A man? The shape disappeared as
quickly as Andy imagined it. When you let yourself
get this worked up, you start seeing things, he
chided himself.
What the hell had he been thinking when he decided to date Candi?
He would go over to her house first thing the next day to end it and all of the maintenance that came
with her. Never again, he vowed. He would be
more like his brother. Casual relationships. No
strings.
But first, he needed Rose.
She would calm him down and lighten his mood, help him feel normal again. He looked at his watch
and winced. What were friends for if you couldn’t
count on them to be there? Even at this time of
night. Or morning.

Rose slept soundly in her twin bed dreaming of her
favorite spot at the zoo. In the small rain forest
building, she allowed a newly emerged monarch
butterfly to dry its wings on her apron while sharing
facts about the insect to one of two visiting young
boys. The other threw pebbles into the nearby
wishing pond. The sound of the small rocks plunked
as they hit the stone wall before dropping into the
water.
Oh, crap. She woke and sat up straight. The
plunking noise came from outside, not in her head.
She felt her cheeks tighten in a wide smile. Biting the nails on one hand, she ripped her blankets off
with the other. As she hustled to her window, she
realized it was still pitch black out.
Grabbing the flashlight she always kept on her windowsill for just this occasion, she lifted the
window and found Andy with the beam. “I thought
you didn’t get home until tomorrow,” she
whispered loudly.
“It is tomorrow.” He held up fishing poles and tackle box.
“It’s not tomorrow until the sun comes up.” She smiled wildly as she pulled on her jeans. This
reaction she had to him had to stop eventually, she
convinced herself. It was not healthy.
“I’ve got the worms. Get down here.”
Quickly, she tied her hair in a bandana, cleaned herself up and slipped on some sneakers. She
scribbled out a quick note and headed for the front
door. Her feet stopped before she did causing her
throw her arms out for balance. Another dead bolt?
When did this happen? she wondered.

Good morning, RT, and welcome to my blog! I have had the pleasure of reading FLYING IN SHADOWS and I LOVED it! I thought nothing could top RT's BLACK CREEK BURNING, until I read the second book, which is equally good! Chomping at the bit for BLACK VENGEANCE, the third in the BLACK CREEK series, coming soon.(But not soon enough!)
ReplyDeleteHooray, R.T. - a noble and worthy cause! I look forward to reading your novels, and I'm going to Amazon right now to buy my copies! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be disappointed, Deborah! Thanks for popping in today!
DeleteThank you for making my day, Deborah. :)

My pleasure. I can't wait to read them!
DeleteI am intrigued by this book and impressed that you teamed up with this organization! Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteKim
Thanks for reading, Kim! RT is a wonderful writer. I fell in love with her hero Nathan in her first book and didn't think there was any way his son could be as good, but I loved Andy, too. I guess I'm fickle! (; Can't wait to read Duncan's story!
DeleteThank you, Kim. They're worth it!
