RANDOM READER GIVEAWAY WINNER:

Congratulations to this month's winner of a $50 Amazon gift certificate: [email protected].

I randomly select a new winner every month so if you're on my mailing list, you're automatically entered to win!

ASK SHARON:

Each month, I choose a fan's question to answer but this month there were two that I couldn't resist answering...

Terri Rinko asked: In the spirit of Love and Valentines, which of your story heroes would give the perfect Valentine's Day gift and what would that be?

I have 2 for you!
Tyler Gray (SEAL Of My Heart) is a wonderful letter writer, and he would write Kate a long, long love letter, and enclose within it some crushed red roses. If he was overseas, he'd be so thoughtful as to bring the roses with him, so he could enclose those petals in his letter. And she'd know that.
He'd promise to spend any day with her all day when he returned, and would beg for forgiveness for being gone on Valentine's Day.

Jameson Daniels (Nashville SEAL) would write a song for Lizzie, and he'd get their daughter to sing along with him. He'd record it on a CD and leave it in her car so that when she went to work, it would play for her. The name of the song would be, "This Is Why I love You".
Great question. You win a book of your choice from my backlist!

Barb Cassata asked: I know that you have friends/family member that are SEALs and you listen to stories and info that they can share with you. My question is... Which one of your stories really hits close to your heart based on some true facts they've shared? I ask because some of the stories are so heart wrenching and others are more "bad boy" style. :)
P.S. bonus question.... Did the tat on your shoulder or arm hurt more? I want to get a tiny tat but really want to pick somewhere that doesn't hurt too much since I'm such a wimp! Lol.

What was real:
Coop's arm toy in Fallen SEAL Legacy
Every SEAL does carry a KA-BAR knife with the engraved name of a fallen SEAL with his specialty. If he's a medic, he gets a medic, etc. He's supposed to learn about the fallen SEAL, but he isn't tasked with contacting the family. I made that up for romance.
The name of the real life interpreter (SEAL Of My Heart/SEAL My Destiny/SEAL's Promise and others) is Johnny Walker, and he and his family now live in San Diego. One of my greatest dreams is to be able to shake his hand and thank him for his service that saved so many SEALs.
The chest tube in Accidental SEAL
Daisy the tattoo artist at Flesh Graphics is really Mike at the parlour where Kellie had hers done. An ex-SEAL. He worked on people I know. Some day me...
As far as the tats. The little frog prints didn't hurt. Maybe like a bee sting, without the residual stinging. Not bad at all. On my shoulder, not bad at all, because I had more fat there I think. Afterwards, just like a sunburn, sensitive to hot water. Easy Peasy.

Terri & Barb — Let me know which book you would like, and in what format. Please send your email to: [email protected].
