A Teaser from Touch of Love

An Empty House

No matter how many times I turned the key in the lock I was always disappointed to find the room within always empty. I kept hoping for the day he would return. I promised him I would wait as long as it took until he came back to me.
For months I missed my husband, I missed sleeping next to him every night, and I missed seeing him every morning as he dressed for work. I was forced to accept the fact that it wasn’t our bed he fell asleep in every night. Someone else was preparing his meals, greeting him when he woke, and someone else was listening to him when he needed to talk. So many days and weeks passed while I cried myself to sleep every night… simply alone.
Life had changed. I never suspected that he would leave me, that he would leave our home.

An Empty House: You never know what tomorrow will bring. This is a personal essay about coping with and moving on with the “New Normal”.
The night before our 41st wedding anniversary my wonderful and loving husband was rushed to the hospital with a stroke. It was just after midnight on our anniversary that the Dr said the next 48 hours would be critical. He spent months in rehab and I feel very blessed that he was able to come home. This man has always been my hero (and the man I have based every one of my book heroes on!). It’s been a journey and we are on this road together...

PRE-RELEASE REVIEW

 Annie’s Karma is a super followup novel to Karma VisitedI was intrigued by many things that evolved and expanded throughout the book, not the least of which is the incredibly detailed (although fictional, I must guess) accounts of astral travel, alongside the thriller aspects of the story.

Die Letzte Sünde von Chelle Cordero NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN GERMAN!


Die Letzte Sünde
von Chelle Cordero
  
NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN GERMAN!



Die Letzte Sünde
von Chelle Cordero

Deputy Sheriff Commander Jake Carlson hat alle Hände voll zu tun ... er ermittelt in einem brutalen Mehrfachmord, sein Sohn hat Probleme in der Schule und er selbst hat eine rachsüchtige Exfrau am Hals. Er trifft die junge, freigeistige Notfallsanitäterin Julie Jennings. Als Julie zum Objekt einer Obsession wird, schweben sie beide in Gefahr ...

Für Matt und Julie hatte ihr Dienst begonnen wie viele andere. Sie wurden zu einem kleineren Verkehrsunfall gerufen, zu jemandem mit Schmerzen in der Brust und zu einem Krebspatienten, der zur Behandlung ins Krankenhaus musste. Viele der Gemeinschaften im Norden des Staates New York hatten Notfalldienste unter Vertrag, um dem bestehenden Rettungsdienst unter die Arme zu greifen und auf medizinische Notfälle zu reagieren. Ob bezahlt oder nicht, der qualifizierte Dienst schickte immer Rettungsassistenten, die mit den meisten Notfällen umgehen konnten. Wenn die Notfallsanitäter ausgesandt wurden, machten ein weiteres Paar Hände und Infusionen oft den kritischen Unterschied.

Dieser Notruf kam über Funk für ein Brandopfer, also war keiner der Polizisten, Feuerwehrmänner, ehrenamtlichen Rettungshelfer oder Sanitäter darauf vorbereitet, was sie in diesem abgelegenen Werkzeugschuppen vorfanden. Von außen wirkte das ergraute Holz friedlich genug, und das eine kleine Fenster war schmutzverkrustet. Julie dachte nicht, dass sie unter normalen Umständen den Schuppen eines zweiten Blickes gewürdigt hätte. Aber das hier war alles andere als normal. Niemand hatte mit der Horrorszene im Inneren gerechnet.



REVIEW (English Edition)
Cordero Delivers!

Chelle Cordero strikes a winning combination of romance and suspense in this medical crime thriller. Detailed research and characterizations coupled with a break-neck pace create a hard-to-put-down-read.

Ssh, Kitty Power Rules! (we took control of mom's blog)


Hi there, my name is Tigger, my mom is the author of Karma Visited.
Karma Visited is a paranormal suspense story by Chelle Cordero and published by Vanilla Heart Publishing; it will be out in mid-September, right after the "dog days" of summer...


My brothers (Mario & Luigi) and I were real excited to meet one of the characters from Karma Visited. Mom gave a character in one of her other books a childhood pet that still lived in her childhood home with her dad. But this is the first time that she gave a feline a real part in her book.

Anyway, we want to introduce Mauszer
                        ...and without further meowing

Tigger: Hi Mauszer, can you tell our readers what role you play in Karma Visited.

Mauszer: I live with Undersheriff Dave Turner. We met when I was house sitting at the house that he rented. Now he feeds me so that I take care of the house and watch it while he goes off to work everyday.

Mario: Ooh, ooh, what kind of food does he feed you? What do you do with the leftovers? Maybe I could come over and have dinner with you one day?

Tigger: Hey Mario, don't be a mooch.

Mauszer: Oh that's okay Tiggs. The food is pretty simple, Mario, canned stuff. Dave is a pretty simple guy, no gourmet stuff for either of us.

Luigi: Hey, can I ask a question? Please... Mauszer, what is Dave like as an owner? Does he pet you a lot? Does he play with you? What's it like? What's it like?

Mauszer: Luigi, Dave doesn't own me, we're really just roommates. We respect each other's space for the most part, but yeah, we have our moments when we just like to be together. 

Tigger: How does it feel to be the hero's side-kick?

Mauszer: I don't really look at it like being a side-kick, I feel really crucial to the story, sort of like Tonto to the Lone Ranger... and if you saw the movie then you know how Johnny "Tonto" Depp really WAS the movie.

Tigger: How do you feel about Annie?

Mauszer: She's okay. I'm willing to share my human with her so long as she accepts that I was here first. Dave seems happy when he gets to be with her... of course she's got to really be here. This holographic stuff really freaks me out.

Luigi: What did you think of Rose? I didn't like her. She;s not a nice lady. What did you think of her Mauszer?

Mauszer: I only met Dave's ex-wife one time. She really wasn't nice to me at all. She came to my home, uninvited, and really acted like she belonged there. I didn't like her and I don't think Dave wants her around either.

Tigger: Do you ever get to help Dave with his work?

Mauszer: Well I don't get to go to his office with him, but sometimes he does bring work home. And when he's sitting in his chair reading files, I let him use me like a sounding board and let him talk thinks out. And when he gets all moody because a case isn't going well I bump into him and make him pet me... you know of course that petting a pussycat can lower your blood pressure? Anyway, I try to help keep him focused.

Tigger: There's another cat that appears in the story, Whiskas? Did you get to meet him? Whiskas is named for another Whiskas who is actually our older brother, he passed away before we came home with mom and dad...

Mario: But I think he visits us every so often and tells us fun things we can do.

Mauszer: Whiskas is a real nice cat. He plays the part of a cat who survives a tornado with his human, a little girl who seems to have lost everything except for him. It's really very emotional, but I am so glad that they have each other.

Tigger: Mauszer, I think I hear my mom coming down the hall so we really have to go. Thanks so much for taking the time to meow-chat with us today.

Mauszer: It was my pleasure.

Mario: We can't wait 'til Karma Visited is available in September. People are really going to enjoy getting to know you and everybody else.

Luigi: Yeah. I really hope you'll be our friend. I like you.

Tigger: Uh-oh, mom's here. Maybe we'll get to do this again sometime...
Tigger, Mario & Luigi: Bye all!

page 69 theory - Final Sin

There is a theory that if you pick up a book and turn to page 69, you will know if the book is interesting or not

so we are putting it to the test...


~~~~~~
p 69

Long ago after his ex-wife's damning condemnation of him as a lover, Jake had made it a point to learn how to satisfy his partner before meeting his own needs. Too embarrassed to speak to friends about his failure as a husband and a lover, Jake secretly read a bunch of erotic romances and then tried the techniques one by one. That was why he originally sought to satisfy Julie in front of the mirror. The fire in her eyes mesmerized him and the need to see that fire over and over again became singularly important.

She rested her head on his shoulder and they fell asleep together. During the night, Jake woke her by planting delicate kisses along her spine. He watched as the flame kindled in her eyes and they made love again. Afterwards, when they held each other closely, they could hear the combined beating of their hearts as if it were a well-rehearsed melody lulling them once again to sleep.

And when they made love yet again in the morning light, Jake realized that his thirst for her seemed unquenchable.

*****

Jake was buttoning his pants as he came into the kitchen. Julie had her back to him and didn’t hear his barefooted approach. He found it hard to accept that someone could be so beautiful, but she was.

“Hi.” He nuzzled her neck and surprised her. Jake slipped his hand inside her terry robe and gently caressed a breast. “I wish I didn’t have to go to work.”

Julie chuckled and turned in his arms. Her robe fell open. “But you do… and I have to go to work later as well.” She pressed her breasts against his showerdamp and hair-roughened chest. “But, oh, you are making it seem so tempting.”

Jake inhaled deeply. “Keep doing that and it will be your fault if I go in late. Or if I have the energy to go in at all.” It amazed him, it hadn’t been that long since he had been with a woman and yet his desire for Julie had yet to be assuaged. He bent to suckle a breast.

“Your coffee is going to get cold.” Julie was already breathless.

She had come into the kitchen to make him coffee and toast while he showered. He still had to stop at his place for a change of clothes before going into work. Neither of them had expected to want each other again so soon.

“You are anything but cold, my love. And you are much more desirable than a cup of coffee right now.” He drew a nipple deeply between his lips while he gently kneaded her other breast with his palm.
