Word Count Wednesday & My New Back Copy

Posted on 09:04 by Unknown

I am going gangbusters on my goal of finishing the revision by Saturday.  My word count has been just over 5000 with the sprint I did last Wednesday.  I am SO happy with that.  I'm going to do another sprint tonight from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. MST.  Would love to have you join us.  I do a special sprint blog post so we can check in with each other every fifteen minutes and we're also over on twitter.  How did you do on your word count this week?

Okay, so yesterday I mentioned I was looking at the back copy for my new novel that's coming out this fall.  I decided to show it to you and see what you think.  *bites nails*  

Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes we all fall down . . .

When Navy SEAL Rafe Kelly is taken hostage by a man with a bomb strapped to his chest and reciting that nursery rhyme, memories of his last covert mission in Afghanistan hit him hard.  Realizing the war he left behind has followed him home, Rafe must use all of his skills to stay alive long enough to figure out who wants him dead¾terrorists or a secret faction of his own government that thinks he knows too much. 

As a hostage negotiator, Claire Michaels is known for being cool under pressure.  But everything heats up when a hostage is threatened by a prototype of a military precision weapon and Claire is caught in the line of fire.  When bad goes to worse, she must turn to the one man who can help her, someone who holds the key to national secrets, someone she's always wanted to believe in¾her father.  Can she trust a man she barely knows and unravel the web of deceit before anyone has to die?
