NEW YORK TIMES article featuring: Lindsay McKenna, Chris Keniston and Susan Stoker has arrived!!
April 3, 2016
This may be the one and only time our name are ever mentioned in a New York
Times article ! Now isn't this just too cool? And it’s for such a great cause:
helping our vets. The three of us couldn’t be prouder. Plus, Laura Holson, the
reporter who wrote the piece, was VERY kind in putting up the info on the
charity. She didn’t have to do that—but bless her, too.
Read down to the part about the making of a cover and find Chris Keniston and
myself, Lindsay McKenna — we worked jointly on the cover. Susan Stoker, in the
meantime, was on an ocean cruise, unavailable, so the task fell to us to create
it without her valuable input. We chose Jason Baca as our model. Tammy Seidick
of TammySeidickDesigns.com, took our direction and did a
fabulous job. We made a good team. Chris should be lauded for making the cover
what it looks like in the final presentation — I just put in ideas, suggestions
here and there ;-). We almost forgot to put the dog tags on Jason—that was my
biggest add to the cover, haha. We all think it’s a great cover! Fingers crossed the publicity gets more money into the service dog program for
disabled veterans ! Remember for only 99 cents to tell all your friends! All
proceeds from the sale of Saved By A SEAL go to americasvetdogs.org,
our charity that will receive all that it makes so that some deserving vet will
get one of these wonderfully trained dogs to help her or him in their daily life.
With Romance Novels Booming, Beefcake Sells, but It Doesn’t PayThis corner of the book world is red hot and among the most innovative, with
e-books and apps, and it needs a steady stream of fresh-faced cover models. By LAURA M. HOLSON In early January, 2016, Lindsay McKenna, Chris Keniston and Susan Stoker
embarked on a journey with SAVED BY A SEAL, an 3-book “first in series”
anthology with the focus of giving all proceeds earned to America's vetdogs.org. We
wanted to give
back to our military vets. We each took a “first-in-series” book and donated it
to our anthology. These all romantic suspense. It is only 99 cents and our whole
focus was doing this for this vet charity. On 2.6.16, we put the anthology up on
all major platforms except Google. GET A COPY OF THE ARTICLE NOW!!
Please SHARE. If you haven’t picked up a copy of our anthology for 99 cents—do
so. You won’t be sorry. And all your money goes for a dog for a vet. It’s a
win-win, no matter what way you parse it! ?#?NewYorkTimes ?#?Fabio ?#?Recordbreaking ?#?givingback ?#?MilitaryVeterans ?#?servicedogs ?#?disabledveterans
100% of all author proceeds from this first in series boxed set will be
donated to help Disabled Veterans get service dogs through AMERICA'S
VETDOGS. NOWHERE

Keniston Book 1, Aloha Series Former navy diver Nicholas Harper
likes his new world as captain of a dive boat in Hawaii. Powerhouse attorney
Kara Lynn O'Conner's world revolves around her small Texas town where life is
easy and safe. Six year old Bradley Cooper is about to change
everything. PROTECTING
CAROLINE by Susan Stoker Book 1, SEAL of Protection
Series Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a
Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to
be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman
next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight,
Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the
woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside. When Caroline
boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she
never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also
never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in
talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a
nice way to spend a long plane ride. Neither Wolf nor Caroline were
prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that
would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely
mistaken. About Americas VetDogs: >America's VetDog's
