Congratulations to "Kai", the winner in Stephanie's giveaway. Thank you to all who participated!
I’m
thrilled to be your guest, Maureen! I love the intriguing notion of your blog
about Just Romantic Suspense. But
then, my middle name is INTRIGUE.
(not really—figuratively speaking)
Whenever
I sit down to write a romance my pen roams toward suspense and I end up with at least one dead
body somewhere, along with sundry other crimes and misdemeanors. But even the
edge of suspense doesn’t dull the humor inherent in my voice, thus my novels
always include a dash of wit. Let me tell you about my latest “romantic comedy suspense” featuring my
new favorite dashing hero--
THE HOT SHOTS, book 2 in the Scotland
Yard Exchange Program series, is all about larger than life action, adventure
and romance. Can you say “Bond, James Bond”?
If ever there was a character I’ve fantasized about, the iconic James
Bond is the one.
With
lots of comic comparisons and satiric references to James Bond, my novel was
released on November 15th,, appropriately about the same time as the
newest James Bond movie, Skyfall. I had lots of fun with the
parallels to the iconic Bond in my story about a British counter terrorism
agent who is sent to Boston and ends up on the run with a redheaded spitfire
bombshell. Said spitfire absolutely refuses to buy into the Bond girl image she
finds herself running up against. My characters, Chauncey and Sophia, don’t
fall out of the sky, but they do jump off the USS Constitution into Boston Harbor to escape a terrorist with a
grudge. Intrigued?
That’s
all I’m saying. You’ll have to read the book to get the rest.
Leave
a comment about your favorite Bond movie for a chance to win the new audiobook
release of The Throwbacks, book 1 of
the Scotland Yard Exchange Program series.

Any Bond movie starring Sean Connery - hard to say which one is my favorite.

I haven't seen a Bond movie in many years, so it's difficult to choose a favorite. I was a big Roger Moore fan, but I'd have to say that Sean Connery was a better James Bond.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are great! My favorite Bond movie was Live or Let Die, partly because of the great Paul McCartney title song and partly because of the really cool boat chase scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminiscing all about Bond with me!

Mine would be Goldfinger. I called Sean Connery time frame the classic James Bond. Now Skyfall is definitely the modern James Bond with Daniel Craig. Both are definitely yummy.
