SEAL CAMP is available (sooner than I'd expected!!) in trade paperback via Amazon and Createspace!Here's the paperback link! Go, go, go!! https://amzn.to/2KRNY8q(E-book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HU3iUx )Okay, that was for the readers who prefer print, who've been waiting patiently since last week, when I dropped my new book, SEAL CAMP, on you, clear out of the blue.For those readers who missed last week's e-newsletter, who are going "Wait, what...? SEAL CAMP...? Did you say NEW book, and it's called SEAL CAMP?"Yup.Not only is SEAL Camp a new, never-before-published, category-length romance novel, it's the 12th installment in my long-on-hold Tall, Dark & Dangerous series about Navy SEAL Team Ten. Remember those guys? Joe Cat? Lucky? Bobby and Wes...? Thomas King...? And actually, you really don't have to remember those guys, because just like all of the TDD books before it, SEAL Camp stands alone. Jump right in, you won't be lost or confused! (The TDD series was even more "episodic" than my later Troubleshooters series.)SEAL Camp is currently rated 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon, where readers are saying fabulous things like:
Love love love this last book.... Funny, intelligent and fast paced dialogue and always a kickass and authentic heroine.
...this is a sure winner for any Suz Brockmann fan, anyone who loves strong characters, very realistic emotion, and a world where characters (and writers!) aren't afraid to fight the system right out loud.
It is beyond amazing to have another Team Ten book, and be able to reconnect with loved characters, old and new.
SEAL Camp did not disappoint! It was a fast-paced, sexy, timely read, with drop-in visits from beloved characters, and best of all, the promise of more books to come.
Did I mention the secondary characters? Friends & family & subplots are deftly woven into the action. Fun for fans, but explained for new readers.
Thank you to all who have already bought and read this book! Extra bonus love to all who've posted a reader review!

Q: Wait, it says on Amazon and BN that SEAL Camp is published by "Suzanne Brockmann Books." Are you an indie author now?A: Yes! And my entire marketing "strategy" is to simply get new books into your hands as quickly as humanly possible. So I'll write a book, revise it carefully as I've always done, then drop it ASAP, first in ebook and then in print-on-demand (as well as audio, but that'll take longer!), so that readers can stumble across it. In fact, I just finished my final revisions to SEAL Camp a few weeks ago, and you can read it right now, instead of having to wait a year for its release. That works better for me--I'm hoping it works better for you, too! This allows me to focus on writing--and to write the books that I want to write. But heads up, because these e-newsletters are going to be the main source of my "Hey! New book! Available now!" messaging to you.And... repeating this from my last newsletter: Also...? Just as I make sure that my SBB-reissued older books are clearly marked with their original publication date, I'll include "First published May 2018" in the book's description, wherever SEAL Camp is sold. So if you miss a newsletter or two, and you stumble across a book you don't recognize, check for the publication date, so you'll know at a glance if it's new!Q: Why is SEAL Camp trade paperback size?A: Print-on-demand publishers like Createspace or NookPress allow indie authors to provide print editions. That's great, but there are limits. And right now (things may change!) mass market size books aren't an option. SEAL Camp will come to you as a book that's somewhat slim because the page sizes are large: 8.5 x 5.5 inches. If you're a collector, that means SEAL Camp won't match the size of the first eleven books in the TDD series. (Sorry about that!) But from this point forward, they'll all be this new size.
Q: In your last newsletter, you'd mentioned a hardcover edition of SEAL Camp...A: Yes! That will be coming, via NookPress and BN. I'm still waiting to receive and review the proofs before that edition becomes available. Q: How about the audiobook...?A: Audio's always going to take a bit longer! I'll keep you posted! (And yes, I hope to continue to work with the amazing Patrick Lawlor as my male-character narrator!!)ICYMI: Here's a link to my last e-newsletter, which contains more info about SEAL Camp, as well as a link for my e-newsletter sign up:
