Killing Time Blog Tour ~ Promo Post and Giveaway

Killing Time  
(One Eyed Jacks #1) 
Publisher: Pocket Books
Publication date: January 22, 2013


An exciting new series featuring Mike "Primetown" Brown, a character from her popular 
"Black Ops, Inc." series.

For the seven years after Operation Slam Dunk went south, Mike Brown got drunk on each anniversary. The eighth year was no different--until he was drugged by a woman and woke up to her questions about what had happened eight years ago in Afghanistan. CIA attorney Eva Salinas has her own theory behind what happened to Mike's team--which included her husband--in Afghanistan eight years ago, and she's determined to prove foul play. Though she doesn't trust him, Mike is the only person she can turn to for help. Under an assumed name, Eva convinces Mike to assemble a new team and go after the traitor who screwed up both their lives. As they track down the rogue who started it all, Eva and Mike discover they can't live without each other. But can they stay alive while an enemy is still on the loose?

Read an Excerpt



The only thing Cindy had in mind when she started writing her first book was finishing it. The issue of actually selling it came much later. Only after she made that life-altering first sale did she realize that one book would never be enough. Now, over 20 books and numerous awards later, Cindy laughingly admits that she can barely remember life before...well, was there life before writing?

Actually, yes there was, and still is. A professional career woman, Cindy is a trainer for the Iowa Department of Human Services, a position she states is both challenging and rewarding. "Human Services is a front-line, real-life event. Everything about the job is immediate, from serving families in crisis, to assisting staff with difficult situations, to meeting tension-fraught deadlines."

Cindy's writing has netted her spots on bestseller lists, numerous RT nominations and awards, the Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence, a National Reader's Choice Award and two RITA nominations.

Between writing and working full time you wouldn't think Cindy would have much time for anything else. And while she does find her work and her writing rewarding, there does have to be more. Cindy has more. Much more. She is happily married to the perfect man. Tom's a cowboy, ladies!

Both Tom and Cindy enjoy gardening and have recently expanded their annual beds into a perennial garden. Cindy says she can hardly wait for spring and the promise of all that reawakening and the colorful blooms.

In addition to the horses, the Gerards have two dogs, Ellie and Boomer, who pretty much get anything they want. Tom and Cindy have one son, Kyle, who, after years of keeping them in suspense, found Eileen, the perfect woman.

Linda Henderson said...

Love romantic suspense and I can't wait to read it. Question though, as an author do you ever hate to see one of your series end? I know as a reader sometimes I wish the series could go on and on, I hate to see it end.

Crystal Trent Dotson said...

love the cover, it looks great !!

cindy gerard said...

Linda - absolutely I hate to see a series end. I get pretty attached to all my characters and it's hard to let them go. but sometimes it's just best to move on before things start to get stale or routine or mundane. I'm happy to report though that you'll be seeing some of the BOI characters in Killing Time and in the other books in the series. :o)

cindy gerard said...

Thanks Crystal! I love the cover too

Artemis - we have so many different flowers I can't begin to name them all but we have a special love for all kids of lilies. We have day lilies in all different colors + Star burst lilies and a ton of other colors. We also love iris and have many colors and varieties.

How old were you when you first picked up a pen/pencil/typewriter/computer to write?

cindy gerard said...

Books4me - I think I wrote my first play when I was in 5th grade. LOL. It was a neighborhood extravaganza where I was the princess (of course). I didn't start writing seriously, however, until our son was in his senior year in high school. I could see the writing on the wall (no pun intended) that I was going to have to find something to do with myself after he left the nest ... and I've been going at it ever since.
