Today we're welcoming Maggie Jaimeson to Killer Chicks as part of her book blast to celebrate the release of HEALING NOTES.
Maggie will award one autographed cover flat to a randomly drawn commenter at each blog stop. In addition, she will award a $25 gift card to either Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner's choice) as a grand prize to one randomly selected commenter on this tour.
BLURB:
Rachel Cullen grew up in Scotland with a fiddle in
her hand from the age of four. She couldn't imagine life as anything but a
musician. When her husband brought her to America she was immediately embraced
by the Celtic and Bluegrass communities. But after her divorce, Rachel's life
is a mess.
A year of trying to prove to herself that she's
woman enough for any man, and then a vicious rape while on tour with the band,
leaves Rachel reeling. When she meets Noel Kershaw, an English teacher who is
poetry in motion, she is definitely attracted. But he has a young child and
he's suffering from his own divorce. The last thing Rachel needs in life is
more baggage.
First, Rachel must reconcile who she is, what she
wants, and how to get there. Maybe then she'll know how to be a part of the
family she's always wanted.
EXCERPT:
Claire crawled onto a stool on the other side of
the island and smiled. Neither of them
talked for several minutes as they listened to the water in the pot heat.
“When I grow up, I’m going to play with Sweetwater
Canyon all the time.”
“Are you sure you want to hang out with all us old
folks?”
“You’re not all old. Well maybe a little old. But
Kat isn’t old.”
Rachel smiled. “That’s true. She’s only seventeen.”
And going on twenty-five it seemed sometimes.
“Oh, seventeen? That is old.” Claire put a finger
to her lips and furrowed her brow. “How old do I have to be to play in the band
all the time?”
“Probably at least eighteen.”
“But, you just said Kat—”
“Kat is different, because her mother plays in the
band and can watch her all the time.”
“Well, you can watch me all the time. You can be my
mother.”
Rachel gulped.
“Well, can’t you?”
“Can’t she what?” Noel walked in the room and
lifted Claire off the chair in a big hug, swinging her around the room. “Can’t
she what? She can do anything she wants.”
“See,” Claire leaned forward and looked at Rachel
over Noel’s shoulder. “See, even Daddy thinks you can be my mother.”
“Whoa.” Noel set Claire back on the stool. “I’m not
sure what I walked in on here.” He sent an accusing glance to Rachel. “You
already have a mother, Claire.”
“I know. Not my real mother. My second mother. You
know, like my friend, Megan. Her mommy and daddy got divorced and her daddy
married a new mommy. So, Megan has two mommies now. See?
Rachel can be my second mommy. Okay?”
Maggie
Jaimeson writes romantic women’s fiction and romantic suspense with a near
future twist. She describes herself as a wife, a step-mother, a sister, a
daughter, a teacher and an IT administrator. By day she is “geek girl” –
helping colleges to keep up with 21st century technology and provide distance
learning options for students in rural areas. By night Maggie turns her
thoughts to worlds she can control – worlds where bad guys get their
comeuppance, women triumph over tragedy, and love can conquer all.
HEALING
NOTES is the second book in the Sweetwater Canyon Series of four books. The final two books will be available in
2013.

Thank you, JB, for hosting my book on this Super Book Blast tour. It's been a long wait for this second book in the series to come out. I'm happy to say though, that the next two books are scheduled for next year so I am catching up.
I'd love to hear from your readers what it is about romance that keeps them coming back for more. Also, do they read cross genre or prefer a particular kind of book above all others. I know I read in spurts. I go for suspense and then after five or six books get tired of it and change to paranormals and then need a contemporary to ground me again.
Good luck with the book, Maggie and thanks for visiting KC!
I go through spurts. Sometimes I'll read nothing but contemporary and then switch to historical. I don't really know why that is.
Lately I have been in a contemporary mood.

Thanks for stopping by again, Ingeborg. It looks like you are hitting all my blogs here. I hear you about the spurts. Lately I've been in a contemporary mood too because I just finished writing a YA Fantasy and I don't want another fantasy world crowding my mind yet.
The Grand Prize winner of the $25 gift card is Tore923. Congratulations Tore!
Because I've had such a great time meeting everyone on this tour, I have decided to award autographed cover flats (one per person) to anyone who has commented during the Book Blast tour. If you wish to have one, please send an email to maggie at maggiejaimeson dot com with the name you would like with the autograph, and your mailing address. They must be sent through the post. If you do not want your name endorsed, in addition to the autograph, then please say so.
I promise, I will not sell your address to anyone or pepper your mailbox with flyers.
