In the meantime, here's some "stuff" from my last newsletter that is still going on:
Fun Stuff #1:
I've decided that my new romance writing project will be related to random acts of kindness. I've been collecting news stories in my "idea file," but I would love to hear from you folks with more ideas. What types of random acts of kindness would you like to see in my new books? What acts do you think would result in two people falling in love? Have you done any random acts of kindness or been on the receiving end of such an act? Send me your thoughts through my contact page on my website or on my author Facebook page.
If I select your idea, I will acknowledge you in my book AND let you name a character!

Can a decade of pain be healed with a healthy dose of love? Or will Healing Springs fail to live up to its legendary name?

SAFE - The Shielded Series, Book One by Christine DePetrillo
The year is 2025. A techhead terrorist group called the Anarch has unplugged the world. While the globe struggles to get out of the darkness, a chemist, Dr. Mikale Warres—bitter about his dismissal from one of the world’s most successful corporations, Emerge Tech—unleashes a plague that turns human organs to ash. He hopes to wipe out the population and restart it.
Only one scientist, Dr. Foster Ashby, can find the cure. He’s been searching for it, but it remains just out of reach. Warres knows Foster is close to stopping his plans for the globe and decides Foster must die. Immediately.
Officer Darina Lazitter is assigned to protect Foster after he takes too long in the city getting samples of Warres’s disease. The job is simple—get Foster safely back behind Emerge Tech’s walls. Shielding him from her heart, however, is proving harder than shielding him from the enemy.

You're such a mentor, Chris, always providing such great promo ideas. I'm off to sign up! Best of luck with your latest. Love the character twist.
Thanks for all the fun stuff!
Well done, Chris. You keep your readers hopping and give generous shout-outs to other authors.
Great stuff! Your newsletter sounds like it's full of fun stuff and great offers!
I've got to start a newsletter. Of course I've been saying this for years... Random acts of kindness sounds fun, but I can't think of any unusual ones off the top of my head. Maybe walking the neighbor's dog when she's late getting home from work? That could lead to romance!
Love the random acts of kindness theme, Chris! Sounds like a fun project! Enjoy.
Fun,yay. the only random acts of kindness I've witnessed is a queue of people paying for each other's coffees. However, when I was little and we had to cross a bridge to get into the city, people would invariably pay for the car behind and on it would go... thanks for the fun and trip down memory lane.
The most recent act of kindness I saw was a woman go up to a vet (he wore a WWII veteran cap) and said she wanted to pay his tab. He & his wife looked so surprised. When we lived in Chicago (land of the tollbooth), we saw and experienced people who paid for the car behind. Very nice.
I didn't realize I've never been to your website. Thanks for the heads-up.
Thank you for mentioning my book, Christine! :) I'm a huge fan of yours and being recommended by you is a such an honor. Can't wait for this new series featuring random acts of kindness. This world needs more of that! <3
