Books for Soldiers in dire need
I started the morning in a great mood. Last night, though a late one that had me rolling into bed at midnight, was really fun and exciting. I volunteered at a charity event where I met and spoke with many wonderful people, including singer/songwriter Rupert Holmes. (he wrote the book for the Broadway Musical "Curtains", as well as songs for Barbara Streisand's 'Funny Girl', though he is most famous for writing and singing "The Pina Colada" song).
Then I received an email from someone I met at the RT Convention telling me she'll be ordering Model Soldier for her store, the Borders Express in Philadelphia.
It seemed the day couldn't get any better. I was right, it couldn't, because next I read an email from Books For Soldiers and it was not good. It seems not-for-profits are having money problems across the board. Corporate charity giving is down everywhere and BFS is no exception. Noone there receives a salary, but the website and forum takes a lot of money to maintain. If they don't get enough cash in their coffers to pay their IT bills, the site will close in December.
I have a special place in my heart for Books For Soldiers. It is through them that I met both Sean and Gary, 2 men who have become fixtures in both my life and my writing career. I don't want to see this site close, but I also don't have the cash to save it on my own. They are a not for profit 501(C)(3) corporation.
What can you do? Spread the word to companies and friends. Donate what you can, if you can. But please, don't let them die without a fight.

Procrastination....
Yes, I am the queen of procrastination. In fact, in high school, the band my friends and I formed for the annual talent show was named "Procrastination" because we didn't choose the songs we were playing nor the name of the band until just days before the show.
People suffering from chronic procrastination will do just about anything to avoid doing what they are supposed to be doing. Checking email and updating my website are two of my favorite ways to put off doing other things. I will also clean the house or do yard work to avoid writing or practicing my harp (the two things I seem to put off routinely, why, I don't know). Procrastinators often need a kick in the pants and that is what I am doing to myself right now as I join the CataUniversity Writing Challenge. http://catauniversity.com/
The challenge? To write 25,000 words during the month of May. Easy, right? Hmmm, but my rugs need vacuuming, and the linen closet is an absolute mess, and the kitchen utensil drawer is horrendous, and I have that new review to add to my website...

New Review for Model Soldier
"...If Cat Johnson has ever written a bad book, I've never read it! She is an amazing author who writes as an authority on military and civilian service personnel. Her attention to details is amazing and, from my limited knowledge of military protocol, right on in her prediction of these circumstances.
Ms. Johnson has written a poignant, emotionally-charged story of a group of soldiers who were faced with the trauma of being away from home and dealing with the terrors of warfare. The alpha male characters were so believable; it seemed that they were actually visible to us as we read. The supporting characters were such a hit that it actually seemed that we were in the middle of the war. The sensual scenes were explosive but did not override the storyline.
I, obviously, love Cat Johnson's books. She has, again, written a winner. You'll be thrilled to read it. This is definitely Johnson at her finest. I wholeheartedly recommend you read this book."
Overall rating:  Sensuality rating: Explicit
Reviewer: Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio
Thank you to Brenda for not only the well-written and very complimentary review, but for taking the time to catch the readers up with the background story from BB's Under the Covers that led up to Model Soldier. (This can be read in the full review available at The Romance Studio site.) And thank you to the many deployed troops that supplied the facts that made MS so realistic. If I have succeeded in getting their story out there in the public, even if it is woven through a fictional romance, I feel like I've done my job.

Erotica vs. Romance...
So Model Soldier is stalled at 56 out of 5,181 books for sale in the Erotica section at Fictionwise.com. I'm right between "The Spy Who Spanked Me" and "His Wife's Punishment", and there, my friends, is the connundrum. I write erotic romance. It is not erotica, yet it is neither just romance. It is somewhere in between, and although this, in my opinion, is one of the largest growing areas in the romance market (steamier than romance but far less hot than erotica), booksellers have yet to catch up. Ellora's Cave, the Goliath of eBook publishers, has even trademarked their own term for this genre, Romantica TM. But at Fictionwise, and many other online retailers, an erotic romance will be listed both in the Erotica and in the Romance categories when it is neither. A dangerous place to be in my opinion, since someone expecting the heat level of Erotica (very frequent sex scenes, often featuring multiple partners at once and very adult situations) may well be disappointed that my book contains only two people having sex with each other and only when the action and the characters told me they should. Conversely, someone looking for a sweeter romance (where they kiss and then close the bedroom door, where the action picks up again the next morning over breakfast) may well be shocked by my sex scenes and my use of 2 out of the 3 "C" words, with a "P"word or 2 thrown in and definitely the "F" word, when appropriate.
Anyway, I guess that is neither here nor there, because for better or worse, Model Soldier is listed in Erotica and also in Romance, and there it will stay while hopefully moving up into the Best Seller rankings. [Update April 30th--MS hit 25 today!]
Speaking of Model Soldier... I owe you one more excerpt to close out the week. And while I'm at it, how about a little known fact?
FACT: Remember the Marine consultant who helps me with a lot of my military facts? Well it is his son, Joshua, on the cover of Model Soldier. Cool, huh?
EXCERPT:
His eyes still following Jai as he joined the group of soldiers, Hawk asked, "How long have you known him?"
"Jai? A few years, I guess. He's discreet, I promise."
Hawk raised a brow. "You two f*%ing?"
"What? No!" God, he could be so crude sometimes!
Hawk smiled and Emily continued to rant. "You are the rudest, biggest, nosiest…" She couldn't figure out how to insult him more so she left the sentence open ended.
"And you hate that you find me attractive."
That accusation had her sputtering. "You? Attractive? Ha!"
Okay, maybe she did think he was hot, but he didn't have to know that. "Don't flatter yourself. You are a job. Nothing more," she finished.
Hawk smirked. "Keep telling yourself that, Goldie. Maybe you'll start believing it. Although, I find that alcohol usually has the opposite effect on a woman's libido." He glanced at the beer in her hand which she had been nervously emptying without even knowing it.
"I see. So what you're saying is that girls need to be drunk to find you attractive. That's totally understandable." Emily smirked.
Hawk shook his head and smiled into his own beer. "You are cute when you try and fight with me. The question is why are you fighting this so hard, doll? I know you're attracted to me. You know you're attracted to me. You're leaving tomorrow. I'm leaving next week." He let the facts hang in the air for her to absorb and draw her own conclusions.
"Are you suggesting…?" She could barely get the words out past the heart beating in her throat at the thought.
Could she do it? Have sex just for fun with a man she barely knew?

When Emily Meets Hawk....another Model Soldier Excerpt
Current mood: adored
Category: Writing and Poetry
In a clear case of 'be careful what you wish for', my heroine in Model Soldier had been dreaming about what her war-hardened, sexy soldier Hawk will be like. When she finally meets him in person, she is in for more than she can handle. Here is the scene when they first meet face-to-face... Enjoy! Cat
EXCERPT
Yes, Staff Sergeant David "Hawk" Hawkins was a lot of things all right, and to Emily's vast and bottomless devastation, so far none of them good.
He had the muscles she'd dreamed of, but along with them came a truckload of testosterone-fueled bad attitude. He was every inch the serious warrior his picture had hinted at, and he was also as stubborn and unyielding as a mule.
The Neanderthal before her, the Hawk himself, folded burly Popeye-like forearms across his chest and waited expressionlessly as Jai set up the equipment. But beneath the cold, steely exterior, Emily sensed molten anger bubbling just below the surface.
She'd tried to be friendly, but her overtures had been met with what amounted to a grunt followed by one long rude glance that covered her from head to toe and all the parts in between. Feeling exposed even in her cashmere turtleneck, wide-leg wool trousers and leather boots after that look, she couldn't resist the urge to cross her own arms over her chest. Boy, was she glad she'd chosen pants over a skirt. She didn't need him ogling her legs, too.
Maybe all this attitude was because he was just resistant to the assignment. Katie had warned her that could be the case. That would account for the standoffishness. And maybe it was partially her own fault, she was so used to working with sensitive, artistic, metrosexual straight guys or openly gay males, she simply didn't know what to do with a real manly man when she came across one.
Maybe that was the problem with her dating life, too. Something to think about…later. But right now she had an unhappy hulk of a male to handle. If only she could get him past this.
He was handsome, though in a rough and ready kind of way. Hot actually, with dark hair cropped close to his head, deep eyes that openly mirrored his emotions (which was not exactly a plus at the moment), and a body so big that it would definitely let a woman know she was being held.
Emily picked her heart back up off the floor where it had first been trampled by Hawk's cold reception, dusted it off and tried to salvage both this assignment and her dreams.
Steeling her nerves, she spoke directly to him. "So I was thinking first we could take some shots inside using the plain backdrop Jai set up. That way I can superimpose different backgrounds for various ads as needed. Then, if it's still light enough, we can move outdoors and scout some locations for exterior action shots."
No comment.
Emily sighed. This was not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing was. She turned to her only ally in the room. "Jai? What do you think?"
Jai looked up from the light meter in his hand. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Sounds good, Em."
Turning back to Hawk, she let her gaze roam over him the way his had traveled up and down her before. The fright from the guards a distant memory now, she was back to appreciating the benefits of a man dressed in camo.
"We can shoot the camouflage outfit first, since you're already wearing it." Emily noticed one dark brow cock up. She paused and waited.
"Outfit?" Hawk scowled. "It's a uniform. An Army Combat Uniform or ACU to be exact. Not an outfit."
She felt her face pale at his censor. "Sorry."
This had not turned out at all the way she'd imagined in her dreams. In fact, it was becoming more and more like a nightmare.
Jai looked as if he was nearly ready so Emily figured she better be brave and broach the next subject. "So we'd like to um…" how to say this without getting shot down again, "make your, uh, physical, um, form stand out in the photos."
There was that brow again, but this time accompanied by a smirk.
He remained silent so she continued. "So maybe you could roll up the sleeves of your camouflage uniform shirt so we can see your arms a bit?"
Even though she'd remembered to call it a uniform—as if she would ever forget that again—she still got the disapproving look and headshake.
"No can do, and it's a blouse, not a shirt."
Blouse. That didn't seem very manly. But more importantly, why couldn't he just do one little thing without being difficult as well as correcting her terminology, as if she should know what military clothes are called?
"Why can't you?"
"Because it's against the rules, that's why."
"But I swear I've seen guys with their sleeves…"
The steady sway of his head still shaking at her finally stopped her in her tracks. "What?"
"You may have seen it, but it is against our regulations and I can't do it."
He meant won't do it. Emily couldn't imagine that his captain really gave a darn what his sleeves looked like.
"Maybe we can ask someone if it would be okay…"
He actually laughed at that. "No."
With a huff she gave in.
"Fine. Are you allowed to take off your blouse?" Emily stifled a snort at the feminine word. "Can you wear just your t-shirt or is that against the rules, too?"
"Yes, I'm allowed."
Finally, a yes, but still he didn't move.
"Could you, please, take off your blouse?"
He smirked boldly but thankfully complied with a chuckle.
Hands planted firmly on her hips, Emily asked, "What's so funny?"
"It's been a long time since a woman ordered me to take my clothes off. Maybe this gig won't be so bad after all." Hawk took off his shirt/blouse and paused with a hand on his belt buckle. "Pants, too, doll?"

eBOOKS FOR eARTHDAY
Current mood: amorous
Happy Earth Day! And might I add that reading eBooks rather than print is about as earth friendly as you can get since they not only use no paper to produce, but also require no transportation to get them to the store or to your door, which reduces both fuel usage and pollution. Okay, SoapBox Kitty is done with her lecture now and I'm on to the next excerpt for Model Soldier, available now in eBook at All Romance eBooks, Fictionwise (where it is 15% off for one week only) and also at Linden Bay Romance.
Last post we met Emily, the heroine of Model Soldier, but who is this man she is fantasizing about and how did Hawk come about? I can honestly say that one quote formed Hawk's character in my mind. That quote, stolen from SSG Abbott's MySpace profile (with permission), was this...
…"Out of every 100 men, 10 shouldn't even be there, 80 are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." ~ Heraclitus, 500 B.C.
After reading the above, I knew I wanted my hero to be a tough warrior who put his men before himself, the kind of man who would willingly give his life for another but who at the same time would not give up without one hell of a fight. In addition, this man would live life to its fullest, knowing that it could all end at any moment, making him, to put it mildly, one hell of a lover. I guess I nailed this in Hawk's character because my editor highlighted one paragraph from the first sex scene in the final manuscript, commenting that this one particular paragraph summed up the character of the quintessential romance hero perfectly. That one paragraph was this....
Excerpt
Hawk prided himself on the prowess of both his hands and mouth and he intended to show off all his skills for this woman. They may have only one night together, but as he set her down and lay above her, he vowed he would make sure she never forgot it.
Mmmm, mmm. Gotta love a man who goes all out in everything he does and Hawk is that man!

MODEL SOLDIER excerpt 1
To celebrate the eRelease of MODEL SOLDIER, and as we anticipate the upcoming (hopefully soon) print release, I'll be posting excerpts all week long on my blog, some of these exclusive, never before seen excerpts, so stay tuned.
Today's excerpt features the moment when Emily first lays eyes on Hawk and lets her imagination run wild...
EXCERPT
Emily peered at Katie to confirm she'd heard correctly. "You're giving me a solo assignment?"
Katie grinned and nodded. "Mmm, hmm. It was BB's idea actually. But I'm in total agreement."
Fears of divas and queens forgotten, Emily sat up a little straighter now. "For real? You'd trust me with my own client?"
Shaking her head while laughing aloud, Katie rolled her eyes. "Why in the world are you so surprised?"
"Uh, because you're a control freak, for one thing," Emily challenged.
Katie's mouth screwed up into a scowl at the reality of that statement. "Maybe I was, a little bit, before..."
Emily snorted. "You think?"
"Hey! Do you want this assignment or not?" One perfectly shaped auburn brow flew up in warning.
"Yes! And I'm sorry. You are the perfect boss, control issues and all," Emily added as she pasted on an overly-sweet grin.
"Well, I am also a pregnant control freak and I'm thinking a trip to Germany, if not Afghanistan, isn't the best idea right now."
"Germany or Afghanistan?" What was this assignment? "That's okay. I like travel. I'm ready, Katie."
Katie hmmphed at that statement while shuffling through a pile of papers and file folders on her desk. "I certainly hope so, because I'm afraid it might not be easy."
God, she hoped she wouldn't be stuck working with some German-speaking model on this assignment. She could get by with a few words of French, even Italian, but German?
Finally Katie found whatever she had been looking for. "Here you go."
Emily's eyes opened wide as her boss thrust the file into her hands. "US Army Marketing Campaign," she read, an uncontrollable smile spreading across her face.
"Yup. And I'm not so sure you should be so happy about it," Katie warned.
"Why not? You met and fell in love with BB during the Special Ops Recruitment Ad Campaign."
Katie nodded. "Yes. That I did."
"And we'll be using an actual Army guy for the shoots, just like we used BB because he was a real Special Operative for the last one?"
"Yes."
The joy nearly bubbled up through Emily's chest. She tried but didn't quite control the squeal of happiness that escaped her lips. No diva queen models of either sex for her first real assignment. Nope. She was getting to work with a real man. One of Uncle Sam's finest for her very own. Emily was more than ready for that.
Maybe she would get to pick the guy. Emily imagined a long line of uniform bedecked soldiers, dog tags jingling as they all waited to meet her approval. Having to meet dozens, maybe hundreds of men had to put the odds in her favor.
The thought that stumbling upon fairytale love, the kind Katie and BB had found, had her smiling even broader…until Katie's insistent head-shaking ruined her good thoughts.
"What?" Emily whined, hating to have her fantasy ruined, especially by a woman who already had her own hero cast.
"I just don't think you should be daydreaming about this particular soldier."
This particular soldier. Disappointment warred with anticipation within her. "You've already picked him?"
"Not me personally, but yes, he's been chosen."
Was that a smirk on Katie's face?
"Who chose him?" And he had better be right, not only for the ad campaign but also for her!
"BB."
Emily considered that a moment. Former underwear model turned Special Operative turned military recruiting poster boy, BB Dalton was so good looking he bordered on beautiful. He must know some really handsome guys in the military, right? Did really hot guys hang out together the way gorgeous yet bitchy female models did? In any case, being a former model himself, BB would know the importance of having the right look for the ad campaign.
"Okay." Emily nodded slowly. This might work out alright. And BB was the sweetest man on earth, the perfect gentleman. No way would he pick a jerk for Katie and Emily to work with. The happiness bubble returned.
She flipped open the folder and shuffled through the few papers inside. "Is there a picture in here?"
"Not in the client folder, no. The model was a…uh…recent decision and actually, I'm not considering that it's totally a done deal yet. BB said he is one hundred percent sure he'll be the one but the guy hasn't received the info for the assignment yet. He will when he gets back to his base. I'm not convinced he won't back out but we'll know I guess by tomorrow for sure."
Emily pouted. "So there is no information on him at all?"
Katie smiled at her. "Relax. Check the printer."
"The printer?"
"Matt, BB's computer genius friend, sent a few background documents directly to our printer."
"How the heck…?"
Katie shook her head, "Honestly, I don't know how he did it and quite frankly, I think I don't want to know how Matt hacked into our wireless network from Europe and sent a document directly to our printer."
Katie was probably right. Some things were better left unasked.
"But I think there might be a picture of our potential model there."
That sent Emily flying across the room, skidding to a stop and grabbing at the pages there.
"Damn. There's no picture, but there is a spec sheet. Staff Sergeant David Hawkins," she read aloud.
Mmm. That was a nice name. Emily Hawkins. Emily Price Hawkins.
She continued reading. "He's thirty years old and seventy-two inches tall. That's…" Emily squinted at the ceiling, doing the math, until Katie interrupted her effort.
"Six feet."
Oooo, good. Emily liked tall men.
"Hazel eyes," she went on to read. "That's good. If we put him in Army green, it will bring out any green in his eyes for the photos." Her head was spinning with the possibilities.
"Really, Em. I don't think you should expect too much."
Emily frowned at Katie. "What aren't you telling me?"
The big sigh her boss released, accompanied by her guilty look, did not bode well.
"The soldier selected may not exactly be happy about this assignment."
"Is that all? You told me BB wasn't happy when he was ordered to do the recruitment campaign either and that worked out fine." More than fine. Katie had never been happier since meeting BB.
Nope. Emily was not going to cancel her dreams of happiness over one disgruntled soldier pouting over a few photo shoots. She'd win him over fast enough and prove to Katie she could handle a big, supposedly difficult, assignment all on her own.
Big. Mmm. Most likely her soldier was big and muscular, as well as tall and handsome. This day was turning out pretty great and it was still only morning.
"I just wish there was a picture." Pouting, she looked accusingly at the printer… and noticed the blinking red light indicating it needed more paper.
"Oh my god! There are more pages!" Flying into action, Emily nearly ripped off one short pale-pink polished fingernail tearing into a fresh ream of white paper and loading it into the printer tray.
Tapping her foot while Katie laughed at her across the room, Emily waited impatiently for the next page to print.
"Come on, come on," she said to a printer which was obviously not listening to her. Emily glanced up at her boss, frustrated. "This is taking forever! We need a new printer."
Katie smiled indulgently, but did get up and come over to wait with her as a color photo emerged ever so slowly.
Closely-shorn, dark hair appeared first, followed by serious, piercing eyes, a strong, square chin and then a chest so broad and forearms so thick they could have easily belonged to a lumberjack.
David Hawkins' features would never be considered perfect like BB's, but instead, he was ruggedly handsome and yes, all manly man. BB had chosen for them the quintessential warrior to represent the US Army.
Emily started grinning before the printing finished. Eyes never leaving the photo, she asked, "When do I meet him?"

RT Report
For those of you in the know about the romance book biz, you know that Romantic Times Magazine's Booklovers Convention was last week in Pittsburgh, PA. It's where thousands of readers, writers, publishers and booksellers all get together to meet and greet, learn, schmooze and have a great time at late night parties attended by often scantily clad male cover models. I just stepped off the plane a few hours ago and needless to say, I am exhausted.
Some of the highlights...
Fabio (yes, the cover model legend himself) attended the SOS Military Mixer which honors those serving in the military and their families. Another special guest was a WWII Veteran.
Adrian Paul (of the Highlander TV series fame) was at the CoverModel Reunion dinner Saturday night. I didn't pay the extra $100 for the ticket to attend, though now I am jealous I wasn't there!
Publishers Weekly's lovely Barbara Vey was amused by my camouflage high heels and my giveaway of Gun Oil Personal Lubricant at the Wednesday eBook Expo and took a video of me which is posted on her blog BEYOND HER BOOK. I'm the last video on the page HERE
And I had about a ten minute videotaped interview with Pittsburgh's Lux Magazine re: the romance industry, my support of the troops and, again, a closeup of my camo heels. I still have yet to find when or where that will be but I will keep you posted.
That's about it. I came home tired but with tons of free books, marketing ideas for myself, contacts I will be keeping in touch with as well as fun memories. RT next year--Orlando!

NEWS!!

Even more exciting...tomorrow I arrive in Pittsburgh for the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention where I will be signing print copies of A FEW GOOD MEN.

Stop by my table at the Ebook Expo on Wednesday night and say hi.

I'll be appearing at the All Romance Ebooks pavilion at Club RT Thursday morning at 9 am.
