Fleet Week Finale with Anne Elizabeth and A SEAL AT HEART


Friday's finale features a special friend .... Anne Elizabeth!   From her bio (at this link),

Anne Elizabeth is a published author, comic creator, and the monthly columnist for RT BOOK Reviews on the topic of comics, manga, and graphic novels. She is a former marketing consultant and has a BS in Business and a MS in Communications from Boston University with over a decade and a half in the corporate and private business sectors. As much as she loved the corporate world, she prefers writing, interviews, research, and reader events.



She enjoys Kenpo, hiking, mountain biking, yoga, Body Rev, painting, and kayaking. Her husband is a retired Navy SEAL, and they are active in the West Coast Navy SEAL community. Her favorite motto is "Passion is the breath of life. Live boldly!" Also, a quote inspired by her grandfather gathers much of her creative advice into one sentence, "Look inside, find the message that is yours to share, and give it to the world."


Anne Elizabeth gives such warmth to the world!   This weekend, Anne Elizabeth is attending the New York Comic Con to promote her graphic novels:
While she is promoting her Pulse of Power series at New York Comic Con, I am spotlighting her contemporary romance, A SEAL AT HEART, available from Sourcebooks on December 4 (at this link):

Being a SEAL means everything to Petty Officer First Class John Roaker. So when a head injury coupled with a bout of amnesia makes him undeployable, he has to find a way to heal from his wounds and recover his lost memories. Enlisting the help of beautiful psychoanalyst Laurie Smith, he discovers his unlocked memories hold a dangerous secret about his last mission that threatens his life, his country, and the woman he's starting to fall in love with.

  1. Treat others as you wished to be treated and also be kind to others. Those are the two things I try to remember.

  6. Don't waste your time on men/women who don't love you. They aren't going to change their opinion of you. If you do stay with them and hope they will love you, there is only pain ahead. Instead, concentrate on people who do love you.

  11. Hi Kim!

    First I have to apologize because I know that you were in a serious mood when you asked us to tell you the message we would want to share with the world but the first thing that popped into my mind was when my older son was in the Navy on a battlehsip and my husband was serving in the Navy Reserves on
    P-3's!

    The last thing I used to say to them both was "May the Force be with you"! It was my way of saying to them both to stay safe!
