August already! I know this is supposed to be about Romance, but – have you seen all the science headlines about genetic engineering and genetic memory?? I’m not a geneticist or anything close, but I just have to say, the outline for The Wildblood series was written in 1998. FYI. Now, on to other things.

How about a Cover Reveal! And a snippet, of course. Here we find Shannon and Hunter wandering around Kansas, seeing the sights while they wait for the rest of the caravan. You never know what you’ll find, in the middle of Nowhere.

“I’m sure there’s a collapsed barn, or something exciting, over here,” he teased. There were a group of buildings, probably a farm, and mostly overgrown. They rode on. “This far enough away from a city of any real size, I’d think it was the plague that got them,” Hunter said quietly.
“Or marauders. I remember, more than once or twice, in The Vista. One of my earliest memories was hiding at the hospital. One of the inner rooms, with no windows. We’d sit and wait and it seemed like forever.”
“Or they went some place safer.”
Dismounting, she walked a bit, getting a feel for the place. “I hope so.”
“I know what you’re doing.”
“Good. I don’t expect anything spectacular, or complicated. You know the routine.” Mostly, to watch her back, in case she got distracted by the tiniest details she would pick up, details that would go unnoticed by others.
“There’s a lot of old farm equipment sitting here,” he indicated along what had been the driveway, half-concealed by underbrush and time.
Shan walked farther out, pulling away the weeds, wandering around it to get a better look.
“Do you plan on dragging it back to Montana?” Hunter asked. “For a souvenir?”
“I don’t think this is farm equipment.”
“So what? We need to head back soon.” He followed her anyway.
Stripping as much debris away as she could, Shan stepped back and stared.
“Oh, Capt. Allen, now you’ve done it,” he said, with a sudden and growing concern.

Now, I never said I was going to tell you what they found! Renegades: Book 2 of The Wildblood will be available this autumn. The Vista: Book 1 of The Wildblood and Backlash, prequel to The Wildblood series are both available now.

Cool excerpt and so intriguing, as to what she’s found. I could really visualize the old farm and then you threw in a mysterious new element – well done!

I suspect they’ll find something more interesting than I’d expect from a dilapidated Kansas barn.
