SUSAN STOKER: MY NEW SERIES TEXAS HEROES IS STARTING IN AUGUST
Susan Stoker is a Texan author specialized in SEAL romance stories. She has firsthand experience being married to an army veteran. Both of her series SEAL of Protection and Beyond Reality are well respected by the readers with very high Amazon rating and grateful reviews.
In our next interview we will receive valuable info about the future plans of Susan Stoker and something more about her person.
– Susan, SEAL of Protection series continues with the next two episodes – Protecting Summer and Marrying Caroline. What the readers may expect from your new novels?
– Marrying Caroline is a novella that includes the people from the first three books. It’s about Caroline and Wolf’s engagement and wedding (the couple from the first book in the series). Because they were first, I wanted to show their wedding because a lot of people are emotionally involved with them…and they are featured in every book in the series. Protecting Summer continues with the men on the SEAL team and introduces Mozart.
As far as what to expect…more hunky SEAL goodness and strong women that get into hairy situations and need help getting out of them.
