I enjoy Lindsay McKenna's series. I have been reading them for fears and look forward to the new ones.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there were so many military veterans among the romance writing community.
Check out the RomVets website for more veterans who write romance: http://www.romvets.com/

ReplyDeleteSuzanne Brockmann writes wonderful military stories!
I also love Lorraine's books! Suzanne is part of an anthology, WAY OF THE WARRIOR, available in early May:

ReplyDeleteJessica Scott is an author and active duty Army officer. http://www.jessicascott.net/index.html
Jessica is a member of the RomVets - veterans who write romance. I believe she is one of the few active duty. We also have writers who serve in the reserves.

Yes, many Blaze books feature military heroes!

DeleteI love SEAL books.....too many of my favorite authors. are listed above.
ReplyDeleteSee you this weekend, Danielle, in Milwaukee!
DeleteThis is a great list and I will make a point to search out their books. I used to call myself an Army Mom, but my son is a retired drill sergeant (10 years). He helped me with the correct wordage in my military novella, Unwrapping Chris, set on an army base. I am also the proud daughter of a Navy veteran of WW2. Dad is 89 and living in the Daytona Beach VA home. My late F-in-L was a lifetime air force LT. Col. I have a proud family lineage dating back to the French & Indian War and we fly the American Flag proudly outside our NC home.
ReplyDeleteNancy Lee Badger
Thanks for your family's service!
DeleteHow about Marliss Melton? I think she is one.
ReplyDeleteYes, Marliss is connected to the military ... and writes sexy military heroes!
