About Karyn Good

I grew up on a farm in the middle of Canada's breadbasket. Under the canopy of crisp blue prairie skies I read books. Lots and lots of books. Occasionally, I picked up a pen and paper or tapped out a few meagre pages of a story on a keyboard and dreamed of becoming a writer when I grew up. One day the inevitable happened and I knew without question the time was right. What to write was never the issue - romance and the gut wrenching journey towards forever.

Back on Tour with Backlash and Day 6

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Karyn Good

I don’t know what the weather’s like where you live, but here on the Prairies it’s cold and windy. A great day for curling up with a good book and a cup of something hot. I’m still touring around on my virtual book tour with Goddess Fish Promotions, so if you want to take that cup of steaming hot whatever and visit that would be awesome.

Two stops today:

Delighted Reader

Reader Girls

My iPod’s in it’s dock and right now I’m listening to Chris De Burgh. I must be in the mood for songs that tell a story and De Burgh is a master. The music and the wind are inspiring me today and I’m going to channel that cloudy, edgy feeling.

Six Sentence Sunday

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Karyn Good

It’s Six Sentence Sunday! And a great day to travel around the web reading a short six sentence excerpt from either a published work or a pre-published work-in-progress. So take a tour and drop by some the very talented writers offering snippets for your entertainment.

From my new romantic suspense release, Backlash.

Constable Chase Porter’s new partner has just finished telling him not to worry about Lily. That he’ll look after her.

Don’t worry about Lily? That was like asking a member of the counter terrorism unit to chill, or the defense to quit tackling the guy with the ball. Not gonna happen. Hadn’t he given it his best shot for ten years? Look where it’d gotten him. Right back where he’d started.

Have a wonderful Sunday! Sample some great books from talented authors and take a Six Sentence Sunday tour.

Virtual Book Starts Today

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Karyn Good

I’m in two places at once today! Which could actually be true if I were a subatomic particle. Ha, and you thought I knew nothing of quantum mechanics. Proof TV is educational. Thank you, Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard!

First, I’m visiting Live to Read and talking about memorable characters.

Later today I’ll be at Curse of the Bibliophile giving an interview.

Almost, I’ve gotten my first review!

Smitten With Reading

Add to that, this book is fabulous on the suspense side. Lots of high-stakes danger, really evil bad guys (super-creepy spider tattoo guy), and it kept me guessing how the author was going to resolve it all till the very end. Overall this was a fabulous book and definitely one that reminds me why I LOVE to read! Perfect entertainment and escape!

AND!

Backlash is now up on Goodreads! Go ahead and add it! Really, I’m not above begging. Obviously!

Six Sentence Sunday

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Karyn Good

It’s Six Sentence Sunday again. That’s right! A unique chance to travel around cyberspace getting a 6 sentence glimpse into the pre-published and published works of various authors. I’d love to hear from you. Happy travelling!

From my newly released romantic suspense, Backlash. My main characters, Chase and Lily, find themselves forced to ride together in a truck searching for a missing 13 year-old boy. Things are not going well.

“You’re being ridiculous, you know.”

Hell. On. Earth. It had to be. Where else would he find himself stuck in a confined space with someone who looked and smelled like candy coated chocolate and thought like a Rottweiler?

Hope your enjoying Six Sentence Sunday!

Release Day for Backlash & Contest Announcement

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Karyn Good

It’s time to celebrate the official release of Backlash! Yeah! And just in time for summer. So find your favorite summer spot, kick off those flip-flops, grab an iced beverage and pick up a Good book! Ha.

What he’s sworn to protect, she’s willing to sacrifice to save those she loves…

When dedicated teacher Lily Wheeler interrupts a vicious gang attack on one of her students, she vows it won’t happen again. But her rash interference puts her in the path of a cold-blooded killer and the constable tracking him – a man she has little reason to trust, but can never forget.

Constable Chase Porter returned to Aspen Lake to see justice done, not renew old acquaintances. But when he rescues the woman he once loved from a volatile situation, he realizes his feelings for Lily haven’t lessened over the years.

Now, the dangerous killer Chase has sworn to capture has Lily in his sights. Can Chase and Lilly learn to trust each other again before it’s too late – or will old insecurities jeopardize their future?

This kind of happening deserves a Summer Contest Announcement:
