Guarding My Six
by K.J. Porter
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Wade Hamilton is an ex-Army Ranger and an accomplished tattoo artist. Now, thanks to a gift that was
bestowed upon him by a grateful mother during a trip to Alaska several years ago, he is also a protector;
a guardian. His gift, which he uses sparingly, allows him to infuse his art with special qualities. When a
shy, young, woman and her three college roommates, walk into his studio he senses there’s something
unique about Tori. After the initial interview, he comes to understand she has suffered a devastating loss
and keeps her grief buried deep inside. While working on the special tattoo she’d designed herself,
Wade adds a little magic to the ink that will boost her courage and, perhaps, bring a little joy and
excitement to her life. And then, she and her friends walk out of his studio and out of his life.
Three months later, Wade receives a call from an old Army buddy, Matthew Miller, whose baby sister is
critically injured in a hit and run. Wade wastes no time heading to Savannah, Georgia to lend his support.
Never having met Matt’s family, other than a brother and their father, Wade has no idea that Victoria
Miller is the same woman who has been haunting his dreams since she walked out of his studio.
As Tori fights for her life, Wade refuses to leave her side, believing it was his magic that had put her in
front of the car that nearly killed her. To further complicate matters, he finds himself falling hard for Tori.
Knowing that nothing good can come from developing a relationship with her, Wade is terrified that his
secret will only put Tori in more danger. A secret he’s kept buried since he was thirteen; he believes his
abusive, alcoholic, father beat Wade’s younger brother, Davey, so badly it caused the boy permanent
brain damage. It was also the first time the “red-rage” took over Wade, leaving him with no memory of
the event and put his father in the hospital.
When Tori refuses to give up on a chance for happiness with Wade, he can no longer push her away. He
realizes he must confront his demons and put them to rest before they can take the next step in their
relationship. But, when an unknown, and very powerful, enemy from his parents’ past catches up with
him, Tori could very well become collateral damage.

GUEST POST
What can you expect from me in the future?
Wow, I have a pretty long “wish list” of things I’d like to do
over the next several months. Not only have I been promoting my most
recent release, GUARDING MY SIX—a paranormal suspense as are
most of my published books so far—but I’ve been branching out
into other genres as well. I have an upcoming release on June 19,
2020 of my very first Science Fiction novel titled, THE WEAPONS
THEY USE, that I’m very excited about. I’ve gotten a lot of
positive feedback that has increased my anticipation for getting it
out there.
Reader’s Favorite has already awarded THE WEAPONS THEY USE,
5 stars! Here’s a little teaser just to whet your interest:
Sam Jackson is a career Marine and not a man to walk away from
trouble. Karma Taylor is a woman on a mission to prove the government
has been lying to us for over half a century. By the time they
uncover the truths behind the lies, it may already be too late to
save the planet!
THE WEAPONS THEY USE can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. Not
only is WEAPONS, coming in June, but I have two more books in the
queue waiting for release dates. ECHO, and THE SHAMAN.
These are both paranormal thrillers and do not have covers that can
be unveiled yet.
But wait! I’m not finished! Like I said, I have a really
long wish list. In the past two years, not only have I completed
three manuscripts, I’ve also drafted three feature length film
scripts, (based on some of my own books) but I’ve also drafted out
a Network, Prime-time, one-hour, crime drama series pilot based on
the unpublished novel THE SHAMAN, and two half-hour sitcom
series pilots as well that I’m hoping to market. Yes, I’ve been a
very busy lady over the past couple of years and, due to the COVID-19
pandemic, I’ve recently had a lot more free time on my hands to
think of new story ideas. Just FYI, sometimes I surprise—and
terrify—myself with some of the things I come up with!
