May is National Military Appreciation Month
and I am pleased to say that 2 of the short stories in this collection feature vets prominently – The Meeting is a poignant love story of a couple that meets during WW2; The Vacation is a SEXY story involving a wounded veteran.
…and don’t let me close this post before saying THANK YOU to all the men and women who have served our country so selflessly, past and present.

Every weekend I’ve been participating in the Weekend Writing Warrior blog hop since last September. “Blog Hopping in general means visiting and revisiting certain blogs that you’ve come to enjoy. Making friends, forming bonds within your circle, that’s all a big part of it.”
Every Sunday dozens of talented writers post 8-sentence snippets from their creative works, it can be published or unpublished material. These writers and readers then “hop around” between blogs reading these selections and commenting – it can be romance, sci-fi, mystery, poetry, paranormal, contemporary, historical, fantasy or ANYTHING. It’s one HUGE tasting party, something for everybody!
Please come join the fun and comraderie – just visit www.wewriwa.com to learn what it’s all about. Feel free to comment whether you are a writer or a reader, we LOVE comments.

A Chaunce of Riches
by Chelle Cordero
Ben Johnson was hired as a bodyguard for a rich widow and her kid, but he never expected to be working for the woman who had abandoned him just when he had needed her the most. Damn it all, he still wanted her. Samantha Chaunce never thought she would have to explain why she married the rich man instead of Ben. Or that her husband had been murdered…and Ben was the prime suspect.
REVIEW
FIVE STARS A Must Read
LAS Reviewer – originally published on Long and Short Reviews
Nothing is simple in the complex tale of love, danger, and this shared, almost-mourned, past. …the two main characters are both strong, edgy people, and their history together creates a rather unusual relationship between the two. There is anger, resentment, yet, somehow, there is an enduring trust that becomes more and more important in the face of danger.
The very focused plot keeps us madly turning the pages, right to the very end. Yet, it’s the romantic in us that is waiting, and so hoping, that they are both the people we think they are…that somehow, out of all this emotional clutter, disaster and more, they can find their way to true feeling. The story is simply super on all counts. Mark A Chaunce of Riches a Must-Read.

A Chaunce of Riches audiobook is narrated by Barry Newman, professional voice artist and producer, residing in Florida. Barry has come to audiobook industry after years of both writing and voicing radio and TV commercials, and has this to say about his work: “I truly enjoy reading a well written story and because of my background I am always thinking about what the listener is hearing. Putting myself in that position I must admit that many times I stop in the middle of a paragraph or sentence asking myself ‘Would I want to hear it that way?’ – our guess is that listeners will give him a resounding YES.

Author Spotlight – Chelle Cordero
Posted on February 19, 2014
If you were to write a series of novels, what would it be about?
I would probably write a series of novels about Emergency Services, especially medical. I spent nearly three decades myself as a volunteer NYS Certified Emergency Medical Technician responding via an ambulance to all forms of medical and traumatic emergencies; my husband has also been a volunteer EMT and both of our offspring are career EMS. I also spent several years as a volunteer with the NYC Auxiliary Police (where I finally got together with my husband) and I have a lot of folks I care about in fire services. Emergency responders (paid or volunteer) put their own lives on the line constantly and have my complete admiration, respect and gratitude – they help to ensure the welfare of our homes and communities. I’ve already written two EMS stories, Final Sin and Hyphema and I probably will write more.
