Will the couple find the strength and courage to put it all on the line
when love means playing for keeps?
PLAYING FOR KEEPS
York Bombers #3
Lisa B. Kamps
Releasing June 28th, 2017
Tyler Bowie
is the serious and focused goalie for the York Bombers. He has his mind on the
game and his eye on the future. And he always plays by the rules--until he
meets Jennifer Emory, his teammate's sister. What is it about the troubled
woman that tempts him to break the biggest rule of all?
Jennifer
Emory is looking to start a new life and finds the distraction she needs in
Tyler Bowie, her brother's intensely sexy teammate. But the distraction quickly
turns to something else. She knows all about the bro code, but there's just
something about Tyler that makes her want to take a chance and risk so much
more than her brother's ire.
Will the
couple find the strength and courage to put it all on the line when love means
playing for keeps?
Lisa B.
Kamps is
the author of the best-selling series The Baltimore Banners, featuring
"hard-hitting, heart-melting hockey players" [USA Today], on and off
the ice. Her Firehouse Fourteen series features hot and heroic firefighters who
put more than their lives on the line. She's introduced a whole new team of hot
hockey players who play hard and love even harder in her newest series, The
York Bombers.
In a
previous life, she worked as a firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire
Department then did a very brief (and not very successful) stint at bartending
in east Baltimore, and finally served as the Director of Retail Operations for
a busy Civil War non-profit.
Lisa
currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly
sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with
major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to
count. When she's not busy writing or chasing animals, she's cheering loudly
for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals--or going through
withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!
Tasty Q&A with
Lisa B. Kamps
If you had a theme song, what would
it be?
Honestly, it depends
on my mood. But there are two that always seem to be at the top of my list:
Fight Song by Rachel
Platten and…
Wait for it…
Fat Bottomed Girls by
Queen!
Name three things on your desk right
now.
- A
large bag of almond M&Ms (I won't tell you how many are left in the
bag)
- Large
mug of coffee (strong with cream and sugar if you're really curious)
- My
planner and notepad, pens and post-its (yes, that only counts as one item
in my world!!)
A la
Twitter style, please describe your book in 140 characters or less.
Okay, I'm really not that great at Twitter but I'll give it a shot:

Did I go over??
What do you do when you are not
writing?
Plan for
the next book? Seriously, my mind is always going: thinking, dreaming,
wondering, planning. Doesn't matter what I'm doing, there's always something
involving writing going on in my head.
Except when
I go into total slug-mode, which does happen every once in a while. If that's
the case, I'm either literally doing absolutely nothing (I mean I literally
turn completely OFF), or I'm either reading or playing SIMS. Hey, don't judge
me J!
Is anything
in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
Are there
certain characters you would like to go back to, or is there a theme or idea
you’d love to work with?
Do you have any advice to give to
aspiring writers?
The best piece of advice I can give (and have given) any aspiring writer
is one that's been around for ages: Just do it. Don’t think about doing it,
don’t talk about doing it, don't dream about doing it. Just sit your butt down
and get those words on the page. Talking is easy, but if you're serious, stop
talking and just write. You can fix it later, worry about it later, angst over
it later. But you need to get those words on paper first. In this case, actions
really do speak louder than words.
Don't
get so caught up in the rules that you end up hampering your creative flow.
Yes, learn the rules, be aware of them, but don't let them rule your writing
(or your creative process). There are so many rules out there that
"they" say can't be broken. But
guess what? They get broken all the time, and it works. Do what works for you,
your story, your characters. Don't let the rules silence your unique voice.
(Note: I'm not talking about grammar and punctuation--those are important. It's
those other pesky rules, like don't write in first person, don't write about a
sports hero, etc.)
Is there anything that you would
like to say to your readers and fans?
To my current readers and fans: THANK YOU so much for taking a chance
and joining me on this wonderful journey! It really wouldn't be possible
without all of you! To those readers who haven't yet read my books: don't be
afraid to take a chance! You might surprise yourself and find a new favorite
author (if not favorite, then hopefully one you really like!).
Can you tell us about your upcoming
book?
My next
scheduled release is PLAYING IT UP, The York Bombers Book 4.
Many of you
have already met Zach and Haley in the other York Bomber titles. These two love
to hate each other and are always butting heads. And when they finally get
together...?
There's a fine line between love and hate,
a line the mismatched pair crosses with as much passion in bed as out of it. No
strings, no expectations. When Haley's past comes back to haunt her, putting
her life in peril, Zach realizes that some things are worth fighting for—no
matter the cost—and Haley learns she must let go of the past if she wants to hang on to the future.
This one is
a steamy twist on your enemies-to-lovers story, with a few more surprises
thrown in! PLAYING IT UP releases on August 30 and is available for pre-order
now. You can find the link here: https://books2read.com/PlayingItUp
