Guarding My Six
by K.J. Porter
Genre: Paranormal Romance 

Picture
Wade Hamilton is an ex-Army Ranger and an accomplished tattoo artist. Now, thanks to a gift that was bestowed upon him by a grateful mother during a trip to Alaska several years ago, he is also a protector; a guardian. His gift, which he uses sparingly, allows him to infuse his art with special qualities. When a shy, young, woman and her three college roommates, walk into his studio he senses there’s something unique about Tori. After the initial interview, he comes to understand she has suffered a devastating loss and keeps her grief buried deep inside. While working on the special tattoo she’d designed herself, Wade adds a little magic to the ink that will boost her courage and, perhaps, bring a little joy and excitement to her life. And then, she and her friends walk out of his studio and out of his life.

Three months later, Wade receives a call from an old Army buddy, Matthew Miller, whose baby sister is critically injured in a hit and run. Wade wastes no time heading to Savannah, Georgia to lend his support. Never having met Matt’s family, other than a brother and their father, Wade has no idea that Victoria Miller is the same woman who has been haunting his dreams since she walked out of his studio.

​As Tori fights for her life, Wade refuses to leave her side, believing it was his magic that had put her in front of the car that nearly killed her. To further complicate matters, he finds himself falling hard for Tori. Knowing that nothing good can come from developing a relationship with her, Wade is terrified that his secret will only put Tori in more danger. A secret he’s kept buried since he was thirteen; he believes his abusive, alcoholic, father beat Wade’s younger brother, Davey, so badly it caused the boy permanent brain damage. It was also the first time the “red-rage” took over Wade, leaving him with no memory of the event and put his father in the hospital.

When Tori refuses to give up on a chance for happiness with Wade, he can no longer push her away. He realizes he must confront his demons and put them to rest before they can take the next step in their relationship. But, when an unknown, and very powerful, enemy from his parents’ past catches up with him, Tori could very well become collateral damage.

“You risked your life to save a stranger, and nearly die, and you retuned to this? They are not your friends,” she informed him derisively as she picked up a chair cushion and helped him sit down.
“No shit.” He gingerly lowered himself into the seat, thankful he wasn’t hurting nearly as bad. He closed his eyes and took a deep, cleansing breath. “Look,” he told her, trying to plaster a pleasant smile on his face as he looked up into her sympathetic eyes.
“I appreciate that you came here to thank me, and you’re welcome. I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I need to get out of here before they come back and try to finish the job those two guys who attacked your daughter started.”
“I’m Alayna Chamberlin. What is your name?” She asked politely.
“Wade. Wade Hamilton. It’s nice to meet you, Alayna.” He dragged himself to his feet again. He didn’t want to waste any more time. “If you’re ever in New Orleans, come look me up.”
“Wade. That is a nice name.” She stepped in front of him, blocking his path to the door and stood closer to him. “A strong name. I have a gift for you, Wade Hamilton.”
“That’s not necessary, Alayna. You don’t owe me anything.”
She stared into his eyes, placed her hands on his face and gave him a slow, knowing smile. His eyes focused on hers and felt his body go lax. Even the pain that wracked every fiber of him seemed to stop as he stared into their dark depths.

What can you expect from me in the future?

Wow, I have a pretty long “wish list” of things I’d like to do over the next several months. Not only have I been promoting my most recent release, GUARDING MY SIX—a paranormal suspense as are most of my published books so far—but I’ve been branching out into other genres as well. I have an upcoming release on June 19, 2020 of my very first Science Fiction novel titled, THE WEAPONS THEY USE, that I’m very excited about. I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback that has increased my anticipation for getting it out there.

Reader’s Favorite has already awarded THE WEAPONS THEY USE, 5 stars! Here’s a little teaser just to whet your interest:

Sam Jackson is a career Marine and not a man to walk away from trouble. Karma Taylor is a woman on a mission to prove the government has been lying to us for over half a century. By the time they uncover the truths behind the lies, it may already be too late to save the planet!

THE WEAPONS THEY USE can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. Not only is WEAPONS, coming in June, but I have two more books in the queue waiting for release dates. ECHO, and THE SHAMAN. These are both paranormal thrillers and do not have covers that can be unveiled yet.

But wait! I’m not finished! Like I said, I have a really long wish list. In the past two years, not only have I completed three manuscripts, I’ve also drafted three feature length film scripts, (based on some of my own books) but I’ve also drafted out a Network, Prime-time, one-hour, crime drama series pilot based on the unpublished novel THE SHAMAN, and two half-hour sitcom series pilots as well that I’m hoping to market. Yes, I’ve been a very busy lady over the past couple of years and, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve recently had a lot more free time on my hands to think of new story ideas. Just FYI, sometimes I surprise—and terrify—myself with some of the things I come up with!

Once the idea hit, I'd say it took me about two months to complete the first draft. From their it took another couple of months to send it off to my editor and polish it up. So, I would have to say approximately months from start to final draft.
