Hello, sr71plt, lovecraft68, maddiekim, Firebrain, all other Lit authors and readers! Several (many, many) months ago, I wrote in to ask for help, guidance, assistance, tips, etc. to get my book(s) published. I was very pleased with the response you provided and now I'm published. Self-published, but published. How totally cool is that?! Thank you all so much for your help and support.
And now comes the pitch...come now, surely you expected it? Didn't you? Seriously? Ah, well. Let's see -
My books, Second Chances and The Fifth Prophecy, are available through Amazon and Smashwords. For the next two weeks, though, I'm offering both books for 0.99 at Amazon only. Hopefully, this will give me a good idea of how they move while giving YOU a good idea of how I write and love my characters.
Second Chances is a romantic suspense (and, yes, gasp! I even put in small hints of BDSM! OMG!!!!). Here’s the blurb:
Love. Betrayal. Revenge. When love turns on you, it’s nice to know you have friends, especially if they’re the mafia.
Melissa Michaels. Honest, loving, successful author. Fooled by her husband for over 7 years. He betrays her… in the worst possible way.
Dr. Robert Richmond. A distinguished and well-known plastic surgeon. His wife is incredibly rich and doesn’t realize he married her for her money. His sadistic treachery of her was the highlight of his life.
Callie Hinshaw. A woman living two lives and hiding a secret. She meets the psychopath from hell, but will she live to regret it?
Dan White. In the right place at the right time, a fluke bullet changes the US Marshal’s life. When the retired eye-candy meets the possible love of his life, he discovers that life can be frustratingly fun because Murphy’s Law goes berserk every time they get together.
Jersey Canyon. A tiny town of incredibly quirky characters living by their own rules while protecting unusual secrets. Can they handle the Russian mafia descending on them?
A new life…a new beginning…a new love. What can possibly go wrong?

The Fifth Prophecy is a light-hearted paranormal romance. Here’s the blurb:
An ancient island. A ghost. Secrets. Diamonds. The Watcher. Peace and quiet…NOT!
Mac O'Donnell and Carson Adams buy Paradise Island, unaware that the island has waited eons for them. The two friends renovate the local village and build a resort, successfully attracting business to the small land mass. They learn the local folklore including the fact that they fulfill the first two of five prophecies.
The island’s totem symbol, a personable parrot with an attitude, fulfills the third prophecy by adopting Mac and Carson.
Jackie Foster is a travel writer in need of a vacation. She is also adopted by the parrot with the ‘tude, partially fulfilling the fourth prophecy. She is unaware that a ghost planned this trip.
When the ghost is revealed, so is a quest - in order to fulfill the fifth and last prophecy, Sir Bruno Marquez must be found. Only Sir Marquez knows the location to a cave of diamonds that has remained hidden for centuries.
Mac and Jackie work together to find the mysteriously elusive Sir Marquez. They hinder themselves by experiencing arguments, misunderstandings, hot kisses and sizzling sex. Carson gets comical assistance from hotel guests and staff to play pranks to help the couple work through their troubles. Not only does the parrot get involved, but the antics and sexual advice of several 80-year-old grannies is just mind-boggling!

So what do you think? Either one sound good to you? Even if you don’t get a chance to read them or they’re simply not your thing, I’d like to thank you again for helping me get them out to the public. Using the pen name of Marie Everett is my tribute to my parents although Dad will never see his middle name in print on a book written by Daughter #4. That’s OK because I know he knows I did it. How do I know? Every day, Mom opens the final draft of both books and brags in front of Dad’s urn. (Cough, cough, choke!) Uh, forewarning is always good. If you’re brave enough to try out my sense humor, I wish you happy reading while you take a journey through my head.
