Hey guys. Good news. I have an update for you on the book release front. BLACK AND WHITE FLOWERS, a real SEAL novel is coming along swimmingly and I’m almost finished with the first draft. As most of my loyal readers know, summer is my slow writing period. School is out and vacations are heavy. Also, this go-round my Maverick is deployed leaving me single parenting with the best of them. I don’t have a SET IN STONE (hah!) release date for BLACK AND WHITE FLOWERS yet, but it will be this fall. I have to write THE END before I’m confident in telling everyone when to expect it. It’s a stubborn personality flaw–the internal struggle to scream NOW! NOW! NOW! Tempered with, “Be rational, Rachel. Let’s make sure this isn’t rubbish before we make promises.”

To thank you for being patient with me I have a pretty, teaser graphic of Smith and Carina.

BLACK AND WHITE FLOWERS blurb: <——-ADD ON GOODREADS——->

Carina Painter lives a life she created in between the pages of her bestselling novel. At least, that’s what she outwardly portrays. A heart-rending childhood followed by an abusive engagement leaves her broken in all ways possible. A chance encounter provides the fork in the road she so desperately desires.

Navy SEAL Smith Eppington is fighting the war of his lifetime. One that isn’t fought with weapons and highly sought intelligence. It’s a battle to remember his past. The accident that scarred seventy five percent of his body, and stole the life of his best friend also seized parts and pieces of his memory. When an author asks to interview him for a fiction novel, he’s ready to pour his heart out no matter the cost.

The friendship that blossoms between Smith and Carina is something extraordinary. It’s a living, breathing love story about finding yourself, change that is out of your control, grasping what you can, and letting go of everything else.

In a twist of kismet, remembering could destroy everything, but fiction may be what saves the day. A friendship built on new truths and a relationship torn apart by old lies collide in a poignant novel by International Bestselling Author, Rachel Robinson.
