New Military Romance to Aid Wounded Warrior Project

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Oct. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- From the artitistic mind of author Magen McMinimy ( http://magenmcminimy.com/) comes a beautiful tale of letting go of the past, and building the future one deserves. In the soon to be released Starting Over, McMinimy gives us real characters with real problems.

--After running from the one man who could have mended her heart, Callie Sullivan has been finding comfort in her best friend, D. When heartbreaking news about D’s deployed husband, Adam, makes its way to the states, Callie focuses on helping her friend learn to survive after tragedy strikes.

Recently returned from Iraq, Luke Merrick learns about the attack on his former sergeant and best friend, Adam. Knowing D will need all the support she can get, Merrick finds himself back where he lost the one woman he thought could be his future.

With D’s heartache fresh and raw, now is hardly the time for Callie’s past to resurface, bringing new danger to those whom she wishes to protect and help heal. But life rarely gives Callie what she needs.

This Veteran's Day, find home in the heart of our heroes with Starting Over part of the Red Hot Heroes multi-author series and stands alone for reading enjoyment. --

Mrs. McMinimy has crafted a tale of passion, intrigue and forgiveness. As mentioned above, Luke Merrick is one of the main characters and in the military. We asked Mrs. McMinimy, who normally writes paranormal romance, what the challenges were crafting this contemporary military romance.

"Starting Over was different and difficult for me for a few reasons. For starters, I have friends in the military, and from time to time, I see the difference war has caused in them. I really wanted to be sure not to misrepresent what they’ve gone through, which is why I wrote Merrick as I did." McMinimy explains. "I wasn’t prepared to try and tell the story of an injured (physically) solider. Merrick has things to work through, but this is on the mental side of the spectrum, he’s still fighting through what he experienced. I had to be careful."

We were also excited to learn that Mrs. McMinimy will be donating all the proceed from the sales of her book, through November 15, 2015, to the Wounded Warrior Project. The book is being released under the Red Hot Authors Collection: Red Hot Heroes (http://redhotauthors.com/red-hot-heroes/). Six military romance novellas from six different authors.

"I tossed around the idea of donating to a charity," McMinimy revealed. "This release seemed as good as any, and I hoped at least a few of the other Red Hots would join me—and they did, thanks, ladies."

Authors Rene Folsom and Jodi Reford will also be donating their sales through November 15, 2015 to the Wounded Warrior Project. When asked why she chose the Wounded Warrior Project, McMinimy told us this, "I decided on The Wounded Warrior Project for a couple reasons. One, it’s a great charity, and two, it's one many recognized and I hoped that would help spur the sales, and thus the amount we were able to raise for our veterans."

Well, we for one hope that your release, and the release of all the Red Hot Heroes Books, is a successful one.  Please take the time to review the books in question, and help raise money for our veterans.

All gave some, some gave all…. This Veteran's Day, find home in the heart of our heroes!
