Stella Marie Alden loves Zumba, yoga, watercolor painting, and all genres of romances,
Her first book, ‘How to Train Your Knight’, won Romance Writers of America coveted Molly and Show me the Sparks Contests, and placed in four others. Truly remarkable, considering she’s only been writing for three years.
Growing up in Vermont, she loved to make up stories. Crayons fought each other over size and placement in their cardboard box and imaginary friends crowded the house. Her brother often complained. “Tell her no one’s here, Mother.".
Her career paths have varied. She’s been a librarian, a classical clarinetist wanna-be, recording studio engineer, broadcast electronics repairman, and now she architects software programs. She lives in Bergen County, NJ with her life-long hero and their two cats. Her two girls are grown but ever supportive. You go Mom!

Sam to the Rescue: A Suds and Sam Mystery is available on preorder!

So, when she bought me a gun club membership to a place formerly known as the Circus Clown Pizza Palace, I knew trouble was brewing.

First off, the ladies’ room was locked so she broke in. Secondly, she finds a barrel marked detergents, thinks it is suspicious, and sends a sample to the FBI. Well of course, it’s ammonium nitrate and now the Feds decide I’m the man to go undercover and stop a plot more deadly than the Oklahoma City bombing.

Will Suds’ past catch up with him? Will they ever get a real door? Will baby Mikey learn to say Momma? Can Sam shoot with her left hand and save the day?

Humpday is here again, and not a moment too soon. I am ready for a relaxing rest of the week and some extra sleep this weekend (need to prepare myself for all the steamy reads hehe). 

SUDS AND SAM PLUS ONE IS FINALLY HERE!!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Suds and Sam are at it again and Suds has even more to worry about now because SURPRISE, Sam’s pregnant! Between Sam’s propensity to attract danger ( there is a good reason she is known as Danger Magnet) and Sam’s family this is another hilarious read. Stella does a tremendous job of creating a fast-paced story that you can’t help but become immersed in until the end. 

DON’T FORGET IN MY CUSTODY  IS FREE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love these books! Stella Marie Alden has created great books where they are each separate stories, but characters and events cross,which I love. In this one, Sienna finds herself in the middle of trouble. She is in the hospital not remembering a thing about how she got there. In comes Andy, her newly hired lawyer. Their connection is instant and he helps her to navigate trouble all while they build their relationship. This is a great, quick read with lots of action to keep it fun.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   All I asked was, “Your place or mine?”
   She had no reason to get so bent out of shape. After she cooled off, she showed me the email, asked about alibis, and I simply replied it was none of her business.
It was all downhill from there.

Eyes are tired from screens? No worries, I have plenty of audio book hotties waiting for you!

Gooood Monday morning!

Gooood Monday morning! Hope you had a glorious weekend. I took a long drive with my Hubby and editor yesterday. It was nice to just even see a change of scenery and I’m always looking for inspiration for new books, hehe. Anywhoo, let’s start this week off right with this week’s freebie. 

This week’s freebie is No Such Thing as Witches!


Remember her old FBI boss? He asks her to do some top secret research on the paranormal. Now, anybody else would laugh it off but not my Sam.

Will Suds and Sam thwart this terrorist attack? Are there really genetically altered humans? You don’t need to read the others in the series to enjoy this laugh-out-loud short story!

Take a break from whatever you’re doing and enjoy!

Note: Heated scenes and happily ever after guaranteed.

There are going to be lots of winners this week so make sure to enter this week’s raffle. Enter for a chance at winning a signed Cole paperback. 5 others will win fridge magnets!!!!! This week’s question is…

What happened to Stacy during the parade?

ENTER RAFFLE NOW!

It’s your last chance to download Lucky!!!!

Cole is here!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely love anything written by Stella Marie Alden. This book did not disappoint. Danni and Cole have come together again after 10 years after a friend of Danni’s dies. Danni isn’t leaving til she solves Stacy’s death and Cole is a deputy in their small hometown. Together with the help of Danni’s online sleuthing friends, they solve the mystery and find their way back to each other. I hope there is more of this couple to come. I’m sure there are more mysteries to solve as a couple working together.

This week’s freebie is Final Play (Players Book 3)

Another week, another Monday! Good thing I had some downtime the past couple of days. I hope you did too. Although, I could use another several hours of sleep and many more cups of coffee, LOL. Well, we’ll have to make it through a new week and look for the positives, so thank goodness for this week’s freebie and hot reads hehe.

This week’s freebie is Final Play (Players Book 3) 

Chance
Sure, I’ve been knocked around a little. What player hasn’t? However, if what the doc says is true, things have got to change. There’s no way I’m letting my wife become my nursemaid. She deserves better than that, better than me.

Mel
What the hell is wrong with CJ? I need to tell him something important but he keeps avoiding me, using ‘game-focus’ as a lame excuse for not coming home. I know we talked about having kids…someday. How’s he going to react when he learns that sooner or later is now?

I know it looks bad but there is a HEA guaranteed! This novella stands alone but a whole lot more fun if you’ve read the first two in the series.

*Reviews are welcome and a lovely way to say thank you!*

We are doing something new this month!!!! We will have one forty dollar prize at the end of the month. Everyone can enter one time per week. This week’s question is…

Why does CJ want to quit football?
