I'm excited for her new book, Warlord Unarmed, and you can find it here!
I’m thrilled to be visiting J.K.’s online
home today. Not only is J.K. a wonderful writer (I LOVE the Immortal series)
but I also consider her to be a very good friend. She’s the type of awesome
friend I wish for everyone, including my characters, to have.
Many of my characters have friends or, if
they don’t have friends, they have concrete reasons why they’re solo. Maybe
they move around a lot or they’re scared of being hurt or they have a dangerous
secret a best friend would be certain to uncover.
Gale, the heroine of Warlord Unarmed, has a
best friend – Zeta. She’ll do anything for her fellow bounty hunter, including
fly across several universes when Zeta fails to check in.
One of my best friends, Gilly, did
something similar (notice how the first names start with the same letter - grins).
No, she didn’t fly across several universes… though that would have been super
cool. Gilly’s friend in another city couldn’t find a babysitter for a special
anniversary. Gilly drove almost six hours, babysat her friend’s kids for the
night, and then drove almost six hours back (she had to work the next day).
Yeah, she gets friend of the year for that!
Gilly’s friend truly appreciated and
benefited from her efforts. Although Zeta was emotionally touched by Gale’s
rescue attempt, she didn’t require the trek across the universes. She hadn’t
the opportunity to contact Gale to tell her she was okay. Yeah, we all have
friends like that also, don’t we? We love them but they do drive us a wee bit
bonkers sometimes.
No one is perfect, not even our friends. I’m
certainly not perfect. I was born with a memory glitch. I don’t remember names,
dates, birthdays. I often don’t even remember my own birthday. My friends send
me email reminders not only for their birthdays but for my birthday also. On
the upside, if we get into an argument, I’m always the first person to
apologize because I can’t remember why I’m supposed to be upset.
What is the craziest or nicest thing a
friend has ever done for you?

WARLORD UNARMED:
When Murad, a powerful and deadly Warlord,
arrives to repair Gale’s beloved ship, she doesn’t like it one bit. She sees
the danger lurking behind his wide, sexy smile and the temptation in his coarse
touch. He stands too close. He smells too good. He muddles her mind with erotic
thoughts no bounty hunter should ever entertain.
Murad is known for being lighthearted…until
he meets Gale. He’s deadly serious about seducing his curvaceous bounty hunter.
With one blast of her stun gun, she captures his attention, and starts his lust
burning. To claim Gale for his mate, Murad will brave his cautious female’s
itchy trigger finger, his overbearing older brother and Gale’s sense of duty.
