Happy Monday Everyone!!!  Viviana, Enchantress of Books and I had the amazing pleasure of meeting Kennedy Layne in Dallas, Texas in May at RT.  Kennedy is one of the sweetiest people I met at RT.   And did you know she adopted a super sweet little kitty while on vacation?  Yep, she did.  Merc!  That is him in the banner. (pause for the ooh’s and aah’s).

While we were at RT Kennedy gave us each an amazing coffee mug (I have a small obsession with coffee mugs right now).   So we thought it would be fun to see how many other readers have Kennedy Layne mugs (current or past years).  For the next week Viviana and I will take turns sharing pictures of our Kennedy Layne coffee mugs.   We challenge you to guess were our coffee mug is (there are no wrong answers).  We also challenge you to share your Kennedy Layne mug on your social media pages (keep reading to get all the details).

Where am I????

Change is coming… 
Maverick Beckett took his much needed annual vacation up to Washington State to relax with his old friends from his years in the Corps. He also had every intention of extinguishing the fires that arose between him and a certain local woman he couldn’t get out of his mind until the unthinkable happened.

Nothing is as it seems… 
Henley Varano loved the simple anonymous life that her remote hometown provided. She’d had the wealthy existence of a fashion model and the fame that came with it only to find it lonelier than she could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, men only saw the fictitious person she appeared to be in the magazines and not the real woman she was—even the one man she’s wanted for years.

Surviving is just the beginning… 
An apocalyptic event changes the course of their lives when the massive Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Panic ensues among the small town, causing Mav and Henley to witness the best and worst of humanity. They must work as a team to create a new existence before the fallout of harsh and fiery elements overtakes their safe haven. Along the way, they might just find that they need each other more than ever.

For those of you who do not know Kennedy yet here is a little about herself in her own words:
