A Hero Club Novel
Noah Keegan lives life just as he pleases: as a scuba-dive enthusiast with a
love of the finest things in life and beautiful women, as well as an art to
closing deals. He’s CEO of Keegan Enterprises and has it all—looks, an Upper
East Side entitlement, and savage charisma. He suffers one quirk: he’s a bit of
a chauvinist. With the 20th anniversary of his mother’s death approaching,
Noah wants to create a perfume in her honor. He brings in a temporary manager
from another firm that has experience in the fragrance industry. Ryan Hagan
sounds perfect. However, he’d wrongly assumed based on the name that Ryan was a
guy. Ryan was a she who sets Noah’s blood to boiling in more ways
than one.
Suit
The moment Ryan meets Noah, she realizes that every sordid, narrow-minded
allegation against the infuriatingly misguided chauvinist is true! She has a
lot riding on the success of this project, so there’s no way in hell she’s
allowing Noah Keegan and his antiquated ideas to deter her dreams. They're
stuck with each other if they want to achieve their individual goals. If only
he wasn’t too sexy for his own damn good and her peace of mind, her plans would
be so easy.

Restless Excerpt
True love was a quixotic ideal, though a plausible desire.
For most, love was a
fleeting euphoria that either imploded without warning or slipped away in
drawn-out pain. And a love for the ages…? That elusive perfect love for
imperfect people? That was an exclusive club where only a select few had a
membership.
John “Johnnie” Donovan
learned the hard way he’d been denied admission. He had loved and lost and
loved again.
And almost lost
everything. His friends. His life.
His wife.
Kendall’s suicide
attempt sobered him. He’d sought perfection from imperfection. He’d based his
own frustratingly imperfect relationship on someone else’s impossibly perfect
marriage.
She’d been discharged from medical care and put into a psychiatric facility. Unlike times past, Johnnie made sure she was as close as possible. After three months, she was released. He’d never been so relieved or grateful, yet she insisted on staying in a guestroom.
When their kids moved
back in with them almost a year after Kendall’s near death, Johnnie convinced
her to return to the master bedroom. Upon her agreement, he’d thought she
wanted to share a bed with him again.
She hadn’t.
Instead, she’d sworn
if he didn’t move to a guestroom, she wouldn’t return to the master suite.
Mystified at why she resisted each one of his seduction attempts, he’d given
her the master suite. As time progressed, they became each other’s best
friends. He awakened with her on his mind and fell asleep with her in his
dreams.
They were like
teenagers, sharing secrets and spending every waking moment together. Once
Rory, Matilda, and JJ returned, Johnnie had never felt so complete.
And, yet, his sex life
was non-existent. Kendall denied him access to her body.
Over the next six
months, Kendall was slowly welcomed back into the fold of the other old ladies.
Megan, as always, was the first to forgive. She, with the help of Roxanne,
paved the way for the others.
For the first time
ever, Johnnie knew what real happiness was. He saw how it looked on Kendall.
She glowed and he floated. He’d never love anyone the way he loved her. Not
even Megan, whom he’d loved with everything in him. She’d been his first love
and he’d always hold a special place for her. Committing to help Kendall
through her near fatal suicide attempt forced him away from constant contact
with Megan. True, Rory, Matilda, and JJ lived with her and Christopher, but
Johnnie knew they were in good hands and refused to use his children as an
excuse to talk to his sister-in-law.
As his feelings for
Megan faded into sweet memories, he realized how much he truly loved Kendall;
she was his everything.
Exactly two years
after she tried to end her life, she finally welcomed him into her arms again.
The next day, Johnnie moved back into the master suite and slept by her side
from that day to this one. There were exceptions, of course, such as club runs
and business trips.
Kendall wasn’t perfect, so she had her moments, but neither was he.
And so that notion of
true love was a quixotic ideal. Real, constant love took work and care and
time.
It took understanding
and protection.
It was that last,
protection, that saw Johnnie in the passenger seat of a Mercedes, driven by the
club’s attorney, Brooks Redding.
For most of the
twelve-hour drive, Johnnie hadn’t said much. Understanding the wisdom of
remaining on Johnnie’s good side, Brooks kept his mouth shut.
As he turned into the
entrance of a wood and metal building, west of Salt Lake City, and paused at
the gate, a shaggy motherfucker wearing a denim cut, indicated he roll his
window down.
The biker knocked on
the window.
“If I have to die to
save my wife, then I will.”
Johnnie didn’t intend
to die, but it was a very real possibility. They were there without
Christopher’s— anyone’s—knowledge. Death was a very real risk.
“Johnnie—”
“Open the fucking window,” Johnnie and the
enemy chorused.
Brooks swallowed again. Heaved in a breath. Finally, he pressed the button.
“Who the fuck are you
and what the fuck do you want?” Shaggy Motherfucker demanded once the window
was rolled down.
High fences surrounded
the property, so Johnnie couldn’t discern if an army of motherfuckers trained
guns on them, ready to fire.
“Repeat your name.”
“Brooks Redding.”
“And the motherfucker
in the passenger seat?”
Johnnie leaned
forward, all the better to see fuckhead. “I’m Johnnie. Bash’s little brother,”
he said blandly. “Outlaw’s little brother.” Only by six months. Asshole didn’t
need a fucking family history.
The gatekeeper leaned
into the car and dropped his gaze to the patches on Johnnie’s cut.
Straightening, he backed away and opened the gate.
By the time Brooks
pulled into the parking space another biker directed him to, Johnnie had lit a
cigarette. Jamming it in the side of his mouth, he got out of the car and
slammed the door shut. Standing for the first time in several hours felt good.
His full leathers and steel-toed boots protected him from the January cold.
“It’s a full house,”
Brooks said, suddenly at Johnnie’s side, briefcase in hand, glancing around the
parking lot in wide-eyed fear.

Happy Audiobook Month!
Kat: How did you get into audiobook narration?
Neil: Like a lot of narrators, I come from a theater/film background! Some actor friends of mine told me how much fun narrating was, so I gave it a try, and I've been doing it now for about 7 years.
Kat: Any specific routine you do before recording the audio? Once you receive a manuscript, do you print it out? Highlight different dialogue to know whose voice you’re recording?
Neil: Before narrating, I'll read through the book
somewhat quickly to understand the story, but I stop to take some time with the
characters as they're introduced. And, you know, usually, after "living
out" the scene, the right voice will magically pop into my head. It's
often loosely based on someone I know (or a celebrity). Sometimes, however,
I'll need to change a character's entire persona if there's a twist at the
end...so it's key to read the entire book before narrating!
Kat: What is the most difficult thing about your job?
Neil: Difficult" is a relative term, right? Compared
to coal mining, I'd say reading books is pretty cushy! But if I had to say
something...probably "pick-ups." This is when you have to go back
through to correct little mistakes you've made throughout the read. Maybe you
said "the" instead of "a," or maybe you accidentally bumped
the mic. In a long book, there can be hundreds of pickups. I'd say I've gotten
pretty good at reading the author's text word for word, but no one is perfect!
Kat: What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
Neil: I'd say the most rewarding part is seeing the title
appear on Audible. That means the project is completely done, and I know that
people all around the world are listening to and (hopefully!) enjoying my work.
Kat: What do you think makes a good narrator?
Neil: Hmm--I'll give you a technical answer and a deeper
one. Technically, you have to have mastery over your own voice. Like any
instrument, you have to know what it can do, what it can't, and you have to
keep it in shape to deliver grounded performances. This doesn't mean that
everyone needs to sound like Morgan Freeman. But narrating is a marathon, so if
you're not treating your voice well, it can cause serious damage. More
profoundly, though, I think empathy is very important. The characters you voice
might live in a completely different world, come from completely different
circumstances, but you have to understand and empathize with their choices. If
not, the read might come across as fake!
Kat: What is the one piece of advice you’d give someone
wanting to get into audiobook narration?
Neil: Lean into your humanity. As scary as this sounds,
in a few years, technology will probably allow robots to sound
indistinguishable from humans. To be successful as a narrator in the future, I
think, you'll have to be able to provide something a synthetic voice
can't--comedic timing, passion, etc.
In conclusion, audiobooks have revolutionized the way we consume literature,
and narrators have been an integral part of this change. As we continue to
celebrate Audiobook Month, let us appreciate the narrators who bring our
favorite stories to life and the power of this medium to entertain and delight
us.
Finally, I’d like to thank Neil Carrigan for spending time with us today.

RELEASE DAY for Reckless
I have been working on Reckless for a very long time. When I scrolled through my timeline, I saw how many times I talked about it and promised it and teased its release. Amidst writing Reckless, I had health scares, new diagnoses, procedures, tests, and surgeries. I watched Memaw Kelly become so very frail. I worried about Kathryn Ferdinand and her mental state and health scares. Like everyone, the economy took a toll and there were days when I had to stretch a little food to pay for a lot of medicine. Other times, I didn't know if I wanted to bother living anymore. Just from the gargantuan obstacles I faced. One, in particular, is dealing with electrical issues in the house. I've been trying to figure out how to change bad breakers in the box but I don't want to get fried. That realization strikes me even as I write this. Deep down, I don't want to die. I fought hard to survive cancer and, years earlier, heart failure. I was just tired. All of this affected my thoughts.

Attention fellow literature enthusiasts!
It is with great excitement that we announce the release of the highly-anticipated audiobook version of "Savage Suit", the newest addition in the Cocky Hero World by author, Kathryn C. Kelly.
Sunday, April 9, 2023
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 take her time to talk in public so nothing untoward pops, and always strives to see the best in people and in life.
