2014 was the year of my first burn out. I’d worked so many hours and so hard to get us out of the Silver mess, that I had pushed way too much and ended up losing much of 2014 with various amounts of depression and anxiety. This wouldn’t be the last time I overdid things either.
Books included: The Incubus Agenda, A Reason To Stay, The Third Kingdom, The Ex Factor, Capture The Sun, Last Marine Standing, Heat, Texas Fall, Ellery Mountain Volume 1, Ellery Mountain Volume 2, Ellery Mountain Volume 3
I carried on with my Bodyguards series, with one of my favorites – the Ex Factor – and started the new Heroes series with A Reason To Stay and Last Marine Standing. Texas Fall was the only Texas book I wrote, and I started a new duology with Chris Quinton.
Funnily enough, it was the Heroes series that I dropped for a long time because 2014 became such a mess. It would be a long wait for book 3, Deacon’s Law. Somehow the depression became wrapped up in that series, but the feeling of achievement when I finally published book 3 a couple of years later was amazing.
With respect to my mental health, I was really glad when 2014 was over.
Competition
The Ex Factor, a book in my bodyguards series, is a take on a stalker who follows a talent show winner, and the bodyguard who keeps him safe! If you could have any actor/characters as a bodyguard, who would it be? Comment below for a chance to win.
Prize: An e-book from this featured year, or your choice from my backlist
It would be Sam Elliott because he’s sexy AF and I’ve always had a thing for him. If he’s not available, then the Rock because I could hide behind him. ☺
Jason Statham! He’s got that intense vibe going on and looks smoking hot in a suit!
Jason Stathom
Sam for me please. I enjoyed this series
Karl urban
Real life it would be Jason Momoa or Dwayne Johnson. But if we’re doing book cuties it would be Jack, Viktor, or Ben. I love all 3.
Jason Momoa
Chris Hemsworth
Viktor for me please!
The team from SWAT tv show, Mark Harmon 🥰 ( Gibbs from NCIS) and Sam Elliott 🥰
I think I’d pick the original Magnum PI – Tom Selleck was hot then and he’s still hot. I also think we’d have fun while he kept me safe.
The power duo from Psych! Sure, I’d definitely get kidnapped because they’ll be distracted by a ridiculous argument, but I’ll be found!
Apparently I’ve joined the choir for Jason Momoa! 🙂
jason momoa or dwayne johnson
I would love to have to be Henry Cavill.
I’d want someone I could feel comfortable with…someone I could talk to…someone I could trust…fit but not unrealistically fine…funny and down to earth…
My top choices…Martin Sheen, James Earl Jones, Tommy Lee Jones or Ben Kinsley.
