Elite Ghosts
by Jennifer Kacey
GENRE: Military and MC Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
For more than two years they’ve been ghosts. Nothing but names on empty tombstones. Men and women forced to fade into the background after being pulled from the rubble. Dead Marines saved from a fate worse than death, but ordered to stand down while their lives disappeared all around them.
Some knew it could happen if a mission exploded. Double crossed by more than just Red Wolf. But now is their time to be reborn from the flames of a Phoenix. No longer imprisoned in the shadows. A half-life between them and their future. To make things right coming back to life is their only option.

EXCERPT:
Thallium’s Submission Excerpt By Anna Alexander
A photo appeared on the screen and Thallium squinted at the
image of the woman who took down an empire and felt the blood in his veins
quicken.
Sure, a woman dressed in leather chaps was a surefire way to
nab his attention, and if she had been holding a riding crop in her hand,
forget about it. But it was more than her apparel that made his heart pound.
She was beautiful, in a 1950s pin-up girl kind of way. Black eyeliner rimmed
her dark eyes, and her pouty lips were slicked with the deepest shade of red
lipstick. The huge belt around her waist highlighted her hourglass figure and
her black halter top made her cleavage look a mile deep. Judging by the
near-perfect streak of gray that framed her heart-shaped face, he’d guess her
dark hair color came from a bottle, but that didn’t matter to him none.
No, what really had him going was her expression. More
specifically, what he saw in her expression. There wasn’t a single word that
could be used to describe what he saw in the depths of her brown eyes or the
line of her lips, but he identified with what must have been going on in her
mind when the photographer captured the picture.
It was a look he’d seen many times in the service. That grit
of determination to get the job done, even when you knew you were walking into
a shit storm with little hope of making it out the other side. It was the look
of the resolve you felt when you were doing the right thing, even at the cost
of your own life. She had been living on borrowed time and knew it. The signs
were there on her face, in the jut of her hip and the tilt of her chin, but her
stance said she didn’t give a shit and nothing would keep her from succeeding.
That show of strength in a female got to Thallium like
nothing else in the world. The woman in the picture was a goddess, and in another
time, another place, Thallium would have gladly fallen to his knees and
worshipped her.

Who is your perfect hero/heroine and why?
What type of book have you always wanted to write?
What are you working on now and when can we expect it to be available?
What is one interesting fact about you that readers don’t know?
Interview with Heather Long for Elite
Ghosts
What is your writing environment?
I actually write in my garage. I like
the isolation of being away form the distractions in the house. I also have a
really nice office that I can use when weather is unpleasant and where I do a
lot of my “business” work. But writing? Writing in is in the barren garage
where I am free to fill it with all my ideas.
Who is your perfect hero/heroine and why?
That’s a tough question. Perfect
heroes and heroines have flaws. They have weaknesses and insecurities that they
must confront. It may sound cheesy, but the perfect hero and heroine
compliments and empowers their “mate” or significant other. The more troubled a
character is, the more admirable their dedication to doing the “right” thing
can be.
What authors have caught your interest
lately and why?
I am a huge Nalini Singh fan, I
actively set aside time to read her books. I love Patricia Briggs as well. Cara
Carnes is definitely an author who holds my interest. Her upcoming Salvation
has to be one of my favorite books ever. I love Lexi Blake’s Masters and
Mercenaries and Melissa Schroeder’s Santinis, Semper Fi Marines and of course
her most recent release Seductive Reasoning. Rebecca Royce’s Fallen Alpha
series is loads of fun and Virginia Nelson’s The Penthouse Prince is a
wonderful book, but I also love her Wicked Odd and Wolf on a Leash…I guess a
lot of authors have my interest.
What type of book have you always wanted to write?
A spy thriller. I love Jason Bourne
and James Bond—I’d love to write one of those.
Top 3 things on your bucket list?
Right now, we have the European Tour I
plan to take Mini on in 2017 when she is 16. We will be traveling from Italy
through Europe to Norway then down Great Britain.
I’d love to see one of my series
turned into a television series or movie…I think that would be loads of fun.
And a Black Widow movie, dammit. She
deserves a standalone film. I even have a great script idea that I’d be happy
to share with mMarvel.
How did you get the idea for this
particular novel?
My contribution to Elite Ghosts is
Target: Tungsten. The idea came as a direct follow-up to not only Elite Metal,
but as a continuation of the tale begun in Pure Copper (Elite Metal). Brad is a guy who lost his girl because he
was believed dead and forced to stay that way for three agonizing years. Worse,
he had to watch the woman he loved fall in love with someone else.
What is your favorite scene in your
new release?
There’s a scene in the opening of
Target: Tungsten where Gabriel Danvers, Sachi “Copper” James’ lover has a
sniper rifle pointed at Brad’s head while Brad and Sachi are talking. When Brad
is convinced that Sachi isn’t over him, he accepts that Gabriel has a claim on
her, too. Yet, at the same time, he is not deterred from his pursuit and his
reply to Gabriel is “Game on.” It
remains a favorite.
What are you working on now and when can we expect it to be available?
My next release is Desert Wolf which
comes out November 24. The book I am writing right now is A Man Called Wyatt,
the eighth and final book in the Fevered Hearts saga. It’s the conclusion to an
epic paranormal western romance saga set in the 1850s that readers call the
X-Men meets the Young Guns.
What do you like to do when you are
not writing?
I am a total television junkie, I’m
also an avid reader, with five crazy dogs and I have a very active drama
theater teenager. So what free time I have is spent on them or quilting when I
get the time.
What is one interesting fact about you that readers don’t know?
I don’t think any author thinks they are interesting, but
one fact readers may not know is that I adore cooking. It’s almost meditative
to me when I discover a new recipe. Everything from the chopping and carving
and prepping to the cooking soothes me.
