Tour Welcome

I’m excited to be here for the launch of the blog tour for When I Found You, the third book in my K-9 trilogy! I am very grateful to all the bloggers, reviewers and, of course, readers, who’ve made the first two books in the trilogy a success.

In fact, with “awards season” in full swing for 2015 book releases, When the Right One Comes Along, the first book in the trilogy, has already been honored with a number of recognitions. Among these is first place honors in the Desert Rose RWA’s Golden Quill contest (sweet traditional category), and a Best Book of 2015 award from Reading is My Superpower.

When I Found You is the story of San Diego Police Department K-9 unit captain Logan O’Connor, who readers were introduced to in the first two books of the trilogy, and Ariana Atkins, chief of security and loss prevention at San Diego’s international airport. Of course, a K-9 trilogy book has to have a furry, four-legged character, too, and in When I Found You, that character is Logan’s explosives detection dog, Boomer.

Although Heartwarming books are about happy-ever-afters, they also have emotional depth, are intellectually satisfying, and have the right amounts of humor, drama or action, depending on the book. In each of the three books of my trilogy, I’ve tried to introduce a current, socially-relevant issue for my characters to contend with. In When I Found You, these issues include terrorism, and aviation passenger safety and security. Here’s an interesting fact: explosives detection dogs are far more effective at identifying bombs than trace detection devices, and they cost a lot less, too.

It would be wonderful if you could join me for some if not all of the fun stops for this tour. If you do, please leave a comment or two along the way. And if you get a chance to read When I Found You, I truly hope you enjoy it and I would love to hear from you.

Best wishes and happy reading!

—Kate

Is she part of the solution…or the problem?

It could be a terrorist threat. Or is it some other sinister plot? An unprecedented rash of security breaches at San Diego's international airport is putting passengers at risk and bringing the competence of the airport's chief of security, Ariana Atkins, into question. With explosives the weapon of choice, police K-9 unit captain Logan O'Connor and his bomb detection dog, Boomer, might be Ariana's best, if not only, line of defense. Logan is certain his belief in Ariana, and his growing love for her, aren't misplaced…but it wouldn't be the first time he's misjudged someone's intentions.

Keeping her safe at all costs

Could their backgrounds be any more different? Rick Vasquez, a K-9 unit sergeant with the San Diego Police Department, fled drug-related violence in Mexico as a boy. Madison Long, who recently became primary veterinarian to the SDPD's canines, is the privileged daughter of a judge. Rick has dedicated his life to curtailing cross-border drug trafficking and preventing other young boys from being drawn into the dark world of the cartels.

But everything Rick and Madison value, and the growing love between them, is threatened by the dangers of Rick's job, and the risks he's determined to take…
