Love Always

2016

Jackson promises his dying friend that he'll take care of his sister, Leah. Though he's never met her, he already adores the Leah he imagines from their grandmother's letters. While fulfilling that promise, he finds that his adoration was merely kindling. Perhaps they aren’t home. A little surge of hope shot through him. He turned away. The door opened behind him. His hopes dashed, he turned around and his breath caught in his throat. Stephen had been a handsome man. That knowledge should have provided him with forewarning. “Are you lost?” She asked. The voice of an angel. Jackson stared into the very same blue eyes of his friend. Black hair framed the most beautiful face he had ever seen. “Do I know you?” She asked, a small smile playing about her lips. Luscious pink lips. Jackson wavered. Perhaps it wasn’t too late to turn and walk away. “Leah,” he murmured. The smile faded from her lips and she glanced behind him. Saw the servant hovering behind him now. Stood her ground. “How do you know my name?” She asked, her eyes full of suspicion now. “I apologize,” Jackson said. “I don’t mean to frighten you.” “Who is it?” A woman called from the back of the house. “It’s alright, Grandma. Just someone looking for directions.” Leah stepped over the threshold and pulled the door behind her. “Who are you?” She asked. “You seem to have the advantage.” “I apologize. My name is Jackson Holcomb.” “Well, Private Jackson Holcomb, how may I assist you?”
Jackson shifted and her eyes lit on the haversack over his right shoulder. Stephen’s haversack. Her gaze lifted to his. Recognition merged with knowledge. Her expression questioned. There was nothing he could say. He shook his head slightly. She swayed. Then the most beautiful angel fainted into his arms. Before he knew what had happened, his arms were full of her. He cradled her close to him, putting his arms beneath her knees and picking her up. She was light as a feather. Nudging the door open, he carried her inside.

I am slowly but surely learning to manage my time more effectively and getting back to writing and connecting with everyone. I'm not completely there yet, but it is slowly coming together. Misled and Misappropriate have been updated with additional chapters and POVs from a couple more characters. Both books have about 30,000 more words and new covers. I have new covers for all the books in the series. Recently Misled placed first in the Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller category on Chick Lit Cafe. The paperback will also be included in an upcoming Reveal Book Box. While working on Reckless, I am also updating the text in the original series. About Reckless - It will be filled with death and destruction, as usual. However, I will admit to being slightly shocked myself at some of the turn of events taking place. I have restarted my newsletter with a new name, KatChats. Until the end of the year, I plan to send it out weekly because of all the news I have to share. After that, I will switch to monthly. I also have a new website. It should be online in a couple of days once the domain transfer completes. I also have a website dedicated to the Death Dwellers. It is still in its early stages, but it is live: https://deathdwellersmc.com. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please send them my way. Kathryn C. Kelly is a New Orleans native who has called southeast Texas home since 2005. She had intended to travel the world but always return to her beloved New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina had other plans. She is the mother of three beautiful daughters and the daughter of one gorgeous mother whose footsteps she followed in by becoming a writer. Kathryn is the former owner and editor of Inside Rose Rich Magazine. She and her mother have been published by Jove Books as Christine Holden. The books have long been out of print but they got the rights back to the five novels and have plans to re-release them soon. Kathryn is a cancer survivor. In 2010, she felt a small lump in her breast. In 2015, at the urging of her mother, she went in for her bi-yearly mammogram and was diagnosed with Stage 2b/3a HER2 positive breast cancer. On November 30, 2016, she rang the bell. During her treatment, she was also diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. In 2013, Christopher "Outlaw" Caldwell introduced himself to Kat in the most cliché way ever. He came to her in a dream. After the inauspicious meeting, he planted himself in her mind and the motherf...the gentleman hasn't left yet. In what was only supposed to be one book about the fictitious Death Dwellers MC, Outlaw has become a source of amusement, a well of frustration, and a bone of contention between Kat and one of her daughters. She is hard at work on Reckless, the book that will bridge the OGs with a new generation of Death Dwellers. Her work has been included in several anthologies and she is looking forward to other upcoming single title releases, including Savage Suit from the Cocky Hero Club World created by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. She is a former RWA member. She also served as Vice President for the SOLA chapter of RWA. She is a New Orleans Saints fan, but roots for the Texans, the Rockets, and the Coogs (U of H) as long as they aren't playing any Louisiana teams. She loves champagne and sparkling wine. One day, she will try Snoop's brand. She still loves Chivas Regal but had a chance to taste Sassenach Scotch. A #lifegoal is to one day buy herself an entire bottle and keep it all for herself. In her head, she is a biker babe with a Harley in her garage, waiting for her to hit the road. In reality, she has yet to hop on a bike and ride. She loves Cards Against Humanity, has very strong opinions that she keeps to herself, has to take her time to talk in public so nothing untoward pops out, and always strives to see the best in people and in life.
