Acting on their own agenda, local power brokers expect general contractor Azrael Hanson to monitor renovations on That House--and toss in a few diversions whenever possible.
Torn
between duty to superiors and a private life he craves, Az knows standing with
Maddy will damage his career beyond salvage. If he follows orders, he'll lose a
future with the only woman who has brought a new word to his life: hope.
Writing under the pseudonyms of Veronica Lynch and Kat Henry Doran, author Kathy Cottrell uses her past experience as a nurse, victim advocate and insurance investigator as fodder for her award winning stories which center around women and men who stand for the “less thans” of the world and manage along the way to find that one person who completes their lives.
She also channels her creativity into creating tote bags. Outside of writing and the tote bags, she is a devoted hand maiden and personal slave to the four brightest lights in the universe: Meredith and Owen, Ashlin and Kieran.
Let's get an excerpt from Kat's story, "It Had to Be You," part of Welcome to Serenity Harbor:
“Hanson,” she rasped between swollen, broken lips. “Are you from around here?”
He nodded. “Born and raised. Why?”
“I remember a family with six, maybe seven kids. All were named after the minor archangel. Are you part of that clan?”
“I am. My family owns Hanson Scapes.”
“So, you're from here, too,” he said, feeling more than a little stupid at the lame statement. Despite the ER doc's warning to not let her talk, Az liked the sound of her voice. She may have lived in Serenity Harbor long enough to know about his mother's obsession with angels, but she hadn't stuck around long. With her height and that Lauren Bacall voice, a woman with her looks stayed in a man's mind. And this one fell under RLT. Real Looker Territory.
“My name is Maddy Flynn.”
One of his nastier habits was spitting out the first thing that came to mind. What came out of his mouth earned both feet, one elbow and the opposite fist all in one bite.
“Oh, sure. You're the girl who wants to rehab the whorehouse.
Doesn't that sound like a winning story? And it comes in a whole host of tales that should be just as fun to read. Here are the buy links:

Hey Kat, I finished your story the other night. Wow - lots of drama, wonderful setting and descriptions, fun characters (okay some were a bit wacky in the best of ways), and a hero to die for. What more could you want?
ReplyDeleteOh, Deb. You are such a joy to me. Thank you so much for the very kind words. i'm glad you liked my characters. Nothing like a few 'different spokes' in the life's wheel, right?
ReplyDeletebest, Kat
Rebecca
