Hi friends and happy Wednesday! I always look forward to spending these days with you. I’m excited to announce the upcoming release of The Deadly Shallows. After a two-year hiatus due to health reasons and a handful of surgeries, the third book in my Coastal Guardian series release on July 5th. To celebrate I’ve got a “Summer of Thank-You-Fun” planned, so be sure to stayed tuned to my newsletter.

As well as following my Facebook Page for the most up-to-date announcements, and live videos filled with sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes fun.
CGIS Agent Noah Rowley is rocked to the core when he learns of a mass shooting raging on his Coast Guard base. He and his team stop the attack, but not before numerous innocent lives are lost. Furious and grief-stricken, he determines to do whatever is needed to bring the mastermind behind the attack to justice.
Coast Guard Flight Medic Brooke Kesler evacuates the scene of the shooting in a helicopter carrying the only surviving gunman. Gravely wounded, the man whispers mysterious information to Brooke — information that paints a target on her back.
As Brooke and Noah race to uncover answers, emotions between them ignite. Noah struggles to protect her and to contain the secret that prevents him from becoming what he longs to be — the right man for her.
Urgency rises in the face of a horrifying truth…The mass shooting wasn’t the villain’s end game. It’s only the beginning.
In anticipation of The Deadly Shallows’ July release and, in appreciate of my awesome readers, I’m launching the Surf the Shallows’ pre-order special.

I enjoy authors sharing behind the scenes/research and signing either the book or a book plate. I appreciate all the other perks that they do, but I consider all their hard work to write their books the best thing of all…. looking forward to The Deadly Shallows!!
Aww. Thanks so much and that’s so wonderful to hear.
Congrats Dani on this new book! I can’t wait to read it. My favorite thing from an author is a signed bookplate! I love having an autographed copy and I mostly read physical books. Hope this launch is tremendously successful!
Awww. Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy Brooke and Noah’s story.
Excited to read Deadly Shallows. So glad you are feeling better! MY favorites are bookplates, little launch goodies and giveaways.
Great to know. Thanks for sharing, Betti 🙂
While I much prefer to have a book signed by the author, the singed bookplate is a fabulous alternative. After that, getting to hear the author speak is highest on my list. Whether that’s in person, via a virtual event, or a book club – it’s all good. Teasers from my favorite authors are always appreciated as well.
Oooh. All great feedback. Thanks for sharing!
Behind-the-scenes information and launch goodies are my favs.
That’s great to know!
So looking forward to the upcoming release. A new book from you is always a special treat. Thank you for keeping up writing in face of all the health issues you had to go through. Hope you are feeling better now? Since living overseas I would say A) and B). I really cherish your pinterest board for each book; your inspiration for the characters, setting, fashion and decoration style …
So glad you enjoy my Pinterest Boards. I have so much fun doing them.
Q+A with author. I love those!
That’s great to know :)))
I always love behind the scenes information. It’s so interesting to see.
I think that’s awesome!
Congratulations on your upcoming book release! I prefer behind the scenes information. I think it is interesting to hear details of plotting and characterization. How did the story unfold in the author’s mind? Did the characters or plot come first? Those sorts of things. But, I’m also an author, so …
Congratulations on your new release!I love C, D and F.
