This is a special post, on a special day, in honor of a very special occasion: MEMORIAL DAY! Welcome to the Blog Tour de Troops! Home base is the Indie Book Collective The blog stop before mine is George Sirois and the blog stop after mine is Brandy Hunt, but stay tuned here for a minute to win your free copy of Veil of Justice.
As a paranormal romance author who’s primary mission is to entertain, it’s a pleasure to be able to participate with this fantastic blog hop event. Blog Tour de Troops means readers can gather up all kinds of free books, but more importantly, they can share those books with our troops whose primary mission is to protect.
This event is just a small way to say thanks for all the years of training, sacrifice and dedication the men and women in service give to our country. Most of us don’t get a chance to say a public thank you, to show our absolute gratitude for the safety and freedoms protected by their efforts.
Here on my blog I usually focus on the books and the greyhounds but today I’m thrilled to show my absolute gratitude for our TROOPS!
Being married (20 years and counting) to a soldier brings Memorial Day home on a whole new level for me. I try to remember what matters most, not just on this special weekend, but in the little actions of every day, in my home and in my community.
It fills me with absolute gratitude to see others honor my husband and men and women like him with gestures big and small. He’s been out to lunch in uniform and had folks come up, offer thanks, and pick up his check. He’s been cheered on airplanes and thanked in airports while traveling in uniform.
Those small gestures mean the world to me as his wife and I know they touch his heart too, reinforcing his dedication to the cause of our nation.
Immediately after my husband returned from a tour in Iraq, we’d planned a family vacation in Disney World to celebrate. At our first dinner the waitress asked where we were from, what we were celebrating, and we told her. She thanked him right then and there for his service. I teared up.
Later, when she brought dessert, she had a special treat as a personal thanks from the chef. Setting the amazing creation in front of my husband, she called for the attention of everyone in the restaurant. I’ll never forget it:
“Ladies and gentlemen! This is my friend Mark,” she began, giving his shoulder a squeeze. “He just returned from Iraq. Please help me thank him and welcome him home!”
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched my husband react to the outpouring of absolute gratitude. He was overwhelmed, in a good way. And a little stunned.
Because the other diners didn’t just clap politely, they didn’t merely smile and return to the fabulous food and private conversations. They stood up and gave him a rousing ovation. Many of them even came over to shake his hand and thank him personally. Talk about a magical moment. His face was alight with pride. It’s a moment I can point to; the moment he realized he was home.
My husband is just one reason soldiers show up in so many of my books. And Veil of Justice, the giveaway for the Blog Tour de Troops, features one of my favorite characters, Nathan, who nearly lost it all on a mission to save his fellow soldiers in 2096.
The IndieBookCollective planned and organized this Blog Tour de Force, and I’m absolutely grateful to be included!
I’d like to add special thanks to the Paranormal Romance Guild and to Julie of A Tale of Many Reviews Both sites stepped up to support me as review sponsors for Veil of Justice. You can read the PRG’s review here (just scroll down the page) and A Tale of Many Reviews is presenting a fun video interview.
Live the adventure!
Be sure to leave a comment here for your free copy of Veil of Justice and to send one to the troops!
Curse you, Regan! It only took to the second stop on this tour to get me teary-eyed today. I was hoping it would last a little longer… heh. Thanks for participating and thank your husband for all of us.
I live near the major Naval bases in Norfolk, VA and I often thank our soldiers that I run into on a day-to-day basis.

Jeremy, well that seems only fair, since I still got teary-eyed when I wrote it. LOL I will pass on your thanks to my husband, and meeting people like you day to day remind them what it’s all about when the job is a challenge.
This is such a wonderful cause and I’m so glad I can play a small part in it. Thank you so much!

I feel the same way, Leanne! Thanks for participating!
Your book sounds like something both my husband and I would enjoy.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to read your book and for supporting our troops! pringpringles@yahoo.com
Hope you enjoy the book, Krissie
Regan, Thank you for participating in this great event this weekend. A BIG thank you to your husband for serving our great country. A BIG thank you to you and your family for enduring the sacrifice that, not only affects your husband, but affects you and your family. My son is currently serving in the US Navy and I know the sacrifices first hand, so does his wife! THANK YOU! May you have continued success in your writing career!
myfairlady718{dot}comcast{dot}net
Donna, thanks for your kind words and understanding. It’s tough as a military wife, but as my son grows (he’s 15) I have to send my admiration to military moms. Families really do sacrifice too.
I’m happy to see so many people of letters, so to say, participating in such an event. I’m glad I’m part of it and it means support, new friends and enjoying more awsome books and authors.
my e-mail: forestlove at abv dot bg
Best of luck!
“People of letters” =) I like that! Haven’t heard that phrase in awhile, but it’s a good one. Thanks Mariya.
This blog tour is a great idea. Being the daughter, grand-daughter, sister, and wife to militray veterans, I would personally like to thank you and all the other authors who are participating in this blog Tour for our troops and to say a special thanks to all those men and woman who have served out country so faithfully to ensure our freedom.
You’re welcome, Rechelle and thanks go to you as well! This has been such a great event for authors to give back. I’m glad to be a part of it!
Sweet about how your husband is greeted. My husband is a disabled vet from a different war (VietNam), I didn’t know him at the time. He has told me of being spat upon when others found out he had been there.
I’m glad the public has a different response now.
Thanks for your eBook and for supporting the troops.
Betty, I’m grateful too, for the kinder public response now. My best to you and your husband!

Still makes me teary-eyed when I think about his face at that moment. And at my daughter’s graduation yesterday, he wore his uniform and several people came over to shake his hand too. Hope you enjoy the book, Sara.
Thank you for participating in this wonderful event.

Thank you sharing your Disney Dinner story with us. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a person able to read that and not have some tears fall. A big THANK YOU to all the Troops! Without them and what they do . . we wouldn’t be able to do what we do!

Thanks, Kelli! I’ve definitely been sharing the comments with him today. It’s wonderful to be a part of this. Many thanks to the Indie Book Collective for all the effort to make it happen!
Another day, another time you brought me to tears! I thank Mark, and YOU (and the kids and pups…and kitties and birds) for your service. Of course, I thank you for your writing, devotion to greyhounds…etc…
Happy Memorial Day to you – many prayers of thanks to all who serve.
Always happy to ‘help’, Mary. LOL *sniffle*
Brought me to tears just reading your post. Thanks for your husband’s service to our country. And thanks to everyone else in the service.

I’m so happy to hear the public looks at our veterans with such kindness and respect. Their sacrifices are great and so are their actions on behalf of so many they don’t personally know. Thank you for offering a free book to them (and to me, too).

Aw! Your story is making me tear up too! I am so happy when strangers show such gratitude and respect for the soldiers. Most of my family is in the military, and I feel like any soldier, sailor, or Marine, who is honored is one of my family. Thank you for your touching story, and for supporting the troops! And thank you to your husband for his service.

Regan,
Give your husband many many many many thanks from all of us who hopped on your blog today! Just last weekend I was at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, standing next to the USO stand waiting for a friend to arrive. I don’t know how I ended up there but I felt so honored to be there when the soldiers in uniform came up the escalator. It was a small crowd but we clapped and cheered as loudly as possible for each and every one of the men and women who stepped off the escalator. The smiles and appreciation on their faces brought tears to my eyes. I may not be able to do much, but if leaving a simple comment on a blog gets one soldier something they want (like a book)…I’d do it every day!
Thanks so much for doing this!

Thanks so much for being involved with this plan to thank our troops…sounds like a great book to me!!!
Regan, I would love a copy of your book. Your story about your husband and the warmth and gratitude he received is wonderful. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you also for being the loving wife of a military member. I used to be married to a Marine. I understand how tough it is to keep going when your spouse is gone for half a year or more.
My email address is: ann@anncharles.com
Thank you,
Ann Charles
It’s not easy, is it, Ann? But I’m so grateful to him and the rest of our veterans who serve our country in so many ways. I hope you enjoy Veil of Justice!
As a disabled vet, I would like to thank you for providing books for the men and women of the armed forces. A good book comes in handy on those lonely nights.
john [@] johnpoindexter [dot] com
I’m happy to help, even in this small way. I’m glad to hear the books help, John! Thanks from all of us for your sacrifice.
Thank you to your husband for his work and to you for sharing yours.
Your post brought tears to my eyes.
I served 26+ years active, spent a lot of time from home and family. Don’t forget the families as well as the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen. The family’s ground us while we are away. Thank you families for keeping the home fires burning.
Dan, thanks so much for your years of service. And for affirming the families eagerly waiting for the safe return of those serving. Enjoy the rest of the Memorial Day blog tour!
I am a military brat that married into another military family. I have and will always support our troops! Thank you for giving me another way to help them! I think this is the coolest thing! I look forward to reading your book.

shiderly77@yahoo.com
This has been such a great effort with so many authors. Hope you enjoy Veil of Justice.
Thank you so much for participating in the blog Tour de Troops and your overwhelming generosity. I also thank you for allowing me to participate by proxy with your giving to them. This tour has been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster as while we are aware everyday (hopefully) of what is going on and how much we owe those who are our champions of freedom, we do not really stop and ponder what this all really means to our daily life!
You are wonderful to share this with us readers!
dz59001[at]gmail[dot]com
Well said, Denise. Thanks for stopping by and supporting the authors and most importantly the troops!
I’m so proud that everyone in the writing community is pulling together for this. I come from a military family so I understand how important it is to let them know that we appreciate all they are doing for us. God bless our troops!
Me too, Wenona! It’s awesome!
This is such a great program you’re taking part in!
Thank you!
sarahclinehildreth@gmail.com
You’re welcome, Sarah Bella, it’s been a fantastic experience!
Thank you sooo much for supporting our troops! Thanks to your husband for his service! Thank YOU for your support and understanding of him!!! I think that just as our men and women in the military deserve huge appreciation for all that they do, I also think that their families deserve it as well!! I can’t imagine being a military wife because I have a hard enough time watching friends and other members of my family as they leave to fulfill their duties. Right now my best friend (besides my husband of course) is in Iraq. I told him about this blog tour and he was touched! He doesn’t like to read but he knows that many many soldiers will be very appreciative!
Thanks again!!

Wow, thanks for your support, Amanda. As an author and on behalf of my family, we all appreciate it. Hugs!

I loved your story about the Disney trip – it’s heartening to hear that everyone was appreciative.
Thanks, Rachel. It was so unexpected and so wonderful. I’ll never forget his face. =)
Regan – Thanks for participating in this wonderful event and sharing that wonderful story of you husbands homecoming! Homecomings are the best feeling in the world being able to reconnect with your family. I’ve been in just shy of 22 years and am finishing up my 7th deployment right now, time can move fast enough now! Thanks again for all your support!
Brad, thank you so much for your dedication and commitment! God bless!
Thanks to your husband and all the rest of our troops. My husband is a former Marine.

From one author to another — it’s great to see people stepping up here (and elsewhere) this Memorial Day weekend.
Thanks, Joe. I agree wholeheartedly about people stepping up. It’s great!
I have pictures of family that have served in every war since the revolutionary war and I still have family serving. I think it is fantastic what you all are doing! Thank You!
You’re welcome, Jo Ann. It’s nice to find a way to give back.
Regan – thanks for the heart felt story. Being a Sailor I can tell you we appreciate this very much. I’m just shy of 22 years myself and am finishing up my 7th deployment now. There is definitely nothing like a homecoming to reconnect with family! It can’t get here soon enough!
Guess this was supposed to be in the body. Thanks again!

I love this idea! As a veteran I know what these books could mean to a soldier looking for a moment of peace. milldirt@msn.com
It feels great to give back. I know my husband appreciated the movies, tv shows and books when he had a few minutes of downtime. Thanks for participating, Shayne.
What a wonderful story. Special thanks to your husband for his service! This blog hop has been a lot of fun! I love to read, but I don’t always venture out of my reading comfort zone. This will be an interesting summer.

Supporting two of my favorite causes at one time is a no brainer! 5*’s to e-publishing and a bazillion *’s to our troops. Thanks.
Hooray! Thanks, Helen! I hope you’ll enjoy all the books on the tour, especially knowing the troops benefited too! 😉
What an amazing story to remind us all how much soldiers and their families sacrifice by serving and protecting our country. Thank you all!
I don’t know a solier currently serving. If you’d donate a book to a soldier or troop of your choice, I’d be grateful!
ReneeRearden(at)yahoo(dot)com
Renee, I’ll be happy to see the book gets to the troops. Thanks for participating and happy reading to you!
Thank you so much for participating in the tour!
You’re welcome, Jess. It’s been such a great experience for a wonderful cause!
I am so thrilled someone stepped up and gave your husband his due. As a fellow vet of the first gulf war i say thanks to him too. Darn it you made me cry a little. It’s good to know people realize what people in the armed forces do and are thankful.
Lisa B

It was a really affirming moment, Lisa. Sorry I made you cry a bit. Thanks very much for your service during the first gulf war. Take care and I hope you’ve been enjoying the blog tour.
Thank you so much for doing this for our military!! I spent 20 years in the Air Force and I know for sure they will appreciate it!!

Thank you for supporting the troops and reading 🙂
Meganary@gmail.com
Two things that matter a great deal to me, Megan. Hope you’ve enjoyed the blog tour!
What an absoultly beautiful story!! I cried. And I do try to thank the service men and women I meet in my town. I live in Las Vegas, with Nellis just North of town. Lots of soliders coming through on deployment or coming back from deployment, I choke up when I think of the scafices they make for us.
karana34@yahoo.com
Melissa
Melissa, your thank-you efforts matter. The troops do give so much, and often in ways that go unnoticed. And it was an absolutely beautiful moment I treasure (I still get teary-eyed thinking about it). Enjoy the rest of the Blog Tour de Troops!
I love your story about your husband’s reception at Disney World, and I love your greyhound story. Years ago, I had three adopted greyhounds. We lost one to bone cancer, one to liver disease, and one to old age that had him suffering. Our circumstances aren’t conducive to having anymore right now; I absolutely love them. Thank you for taking part in this blog tour. My email is talesfromshrimps@hotmail.com
I’m so glad you read both stories, Michele. Boo meeting her soldier Daddy was incredible. Greyhounds are amazing, unforgettable dogs. We lost our first greyhound to bone cancer and the two greyhounds who died while my husband was training for that deployment were lost to liver disease. But even with all the grief, I wouldn’t trade a day that we shared. Enjoy the rest of the blog tour!
The tale about your husband just brings home what Memorial Day is really all about. Thanks for being a part of giving back!
m_kitaki@hotmail.com
It’s been a real pleasure and a fun event to give back this way! Thanks for stopping by, Angi and I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
Thank you participating in the event and for sharing your story with us. It’s truly touching that they acknowledged your husband like that for the service he’s given. I wish you and your family the very best always.
LizzieBeth1095@sbcglobal.net
LizzieBeth, it was an awesome moment. And as the tour’s continued, it’s been fun reliving it as a family this afternoon, hearing what stood out to each of us. Thanks so much for participating today!
How wonderful that your husband was thanked so enthusiastically. Most Americans are so proud of our troops.
I can’t wait to read your book and help share it with a troop.
dreamsgate at clearwire dot net
Thanks, Sandra. I agree with you about the American pride in our troops and I hope you enjoy Veil of Justice (and the rest of the blog hop).
My humble thanks to your husband and your family for the sacrifices you make every day. My daughter’s boyfriend is in the Army and about to deploy for the second time in as many years. I know what homecomings mean.
I would like the troop copy of your book to go to him. His name is Private Zach Schaneberger and his email is zach.schaneberger@gmail.com.
I really appreciate you doing this. Your story about your husband’s ovation made me tear up. I’m glad people did that for you. I wish every soldier could have a welcome home like that.
My email address for my copy of your book is rivawriter@yahoo.com.
Thank you again. – Tracy
I’d be honored to send Veil of Justice to Zach. I’ll take care of it right away. I hope you both enjoy the book. Thanks so much for stopping by (even though I made you teary-eyed) It certainly would be wonderful, and appropriate, for every soldier to have that kind of moment, to feel that outpouring of appreciation.
Thank you so much for sharing that post with us and for taking part in this wonderful event!

P.S. I love your story about the waitress at Disney World. How remarkable!! 🙂
Thank you for being part of this event. And please pass my thanks onto your husband for his service. My dad was in the Navy for 12 years, so I know how important the bond between a soldier and their family is. This tour has been such an honor to participate in.

I’m glad to share that story, Amanda. It was such a memorable moment for all of us, and one that reminds me to share my own gratitude with others. So thanks for being here and helping out with Blog Tour de Troops!
Hi,
Thank you for participating in the “Blog Tour de Troops”. I do not have immediate family in the service right now, but my grandfather fought in WWII and my uncles fought in the Vietnam War. I greatly appreciate what you and the other authors are doing for our men and women in service.
Thank you to the men and women in service for the sacrifices that you, and your families, make each and every day. Thank you for keeping America safe and the things we take for granted each day because of what you do.
Go USA,

Boy, that’s the truth, Celia! Thanks for participating and enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
I thank god for people like your husband every day. My dad served in Korea, so I kind of have an idea what it’s like, even though I was born after the fact. He used to tell me some stories that were just heartbreaking and horrific. Thank god for our troops!
Thanks, Margay. I know some stories are just the tip of the ice berg of things they’ve seen and it’s wonderful to be able to give back and say thanks to the troops even just a little bit.
I’m so grateful to all our troops and thanks to the participating authors, too. I’m looking forward to reading your book. Thanks! ljszab at yahoo dot com
Me too, Laura! The Indie Book Collective went all out for this event and it shows. I sure hope you enjoy Veil of Justice and the rest of the blog tour.
Thanks for showing support for our troops! I love being able to help get e-books into their hands by doing this. jeffreybeesler at gmail dot com
It’s been an awesome event, Jeffrey. The rumor is over 2000 books for the troops…so far! Thanks for stopping by and helping out!
Thank you for taking part in this tour, I know that the troops will appreciate your donations.
Your story about the standing ovation made me well up! It is wonderful to see such responses to the soldiers.
I am also excited to read your novel, I’m a big sucker for paranormal romance.

You’re welcome, Bella and I hope you enjoy Veil of Justice!
Wow 20 years, that is great. My hubby and I have just celebrated 30 years.
Those were hard enough without the strain of being a soldier and away from home.
I admire all of our men and women that serve in the armed forces.

Wouldn’t it be nice if a warm welcome like that was a requirement, Ania? Thanks for being a part of Blog Tour de Troops!
Your story touched my heart – and Disney World must be *the* post deployment trip because that’s exactly what we did after both of my dh’s deployments lol. A huge thanks to your husband and to you, from one military family to another 🙂
annamills2001 at yahoo dot com
And thanks back to you and yours, Anna! I think WDW is a fantastic post deployment ‘exercise’…a way to ease back into the world without all the day to day pressures at once. =)
Hi Regan!! I think you and your work is wonderful. I have read Veil of Justice so is there any way you can donate my copy to another member of our troops? I really appreciate all that you and all the other authors are doing! Again, I think you are completely awesome!!!!
Hey, Amber! Thanks for being a fan of my books and this weekend’s Blog Tour de Troops. I will definitely see that your copy of Veil of Justice goes to another member of our troops. Hope you picked up some other great reads along the way! 😉
Thanks for supporting our troops! What an awesome homecoming!

It’s been an honor and a lot of fun this weekend. The Indie Book Collective did an amazing job with this Blog Tour de Troops!
It made me tear up dang it. I’ve been married 16 years to my military man. We had at AIT when we were both students. I got out a little over 4 years later to have our first child and I’ve been supporting and cheering him on ever since.
brw08 AT yahoo DOT com
That’s great, Brandy (the cheering on, not necessarily the teary eyes). Tell your husband thanks from us too!
Please send my copy to a troop.
Thank you sooo much doing this!
Will do, Gabriella! Thanks for being a part of this event!
