Time marches on so quickly it spins my head around. And, hard to believe, but we are busier today than we were when we had little kids, we both worked full-time and I was in college.
For those of you who follow me, you’ll already know we moved to The Villages for our winter months. The moving was busy enough, but the other stuff – holy man! We’ve been exploring all there is to do here and meeting our neighbors. Buying and selling stuff to make this house, “our” house. We go to bed tired every night. And during all of this, I managed to write Sizzling Nights.
Today I am sending Sizzling Nights out to the universe at large and to readers’ hands. I’m confident in my writing and this is a good book. That doesn’t mean there isn’t angst, there is. Plenty of it. There always is when a new book is released and I’ve celebrated each release a bit different. This year, I’m going to spend time with Gene and friends and enjoy the fact that another book is out there for readers to consume, and feel all the gratitude for being able to do what I love to do – write.
As with any business, people come and go in our lives. Some go with happiness and a sense of relief, some with sadness and the hope we’ll see each other again. I feel so good about the team I have in place right now, and that helps with the sense of gratitude and ease I feel right now.
Thank you to this lovely team of people who cheer me on, create the things I cannot create and polish my book to a stunning shine.
Miranda Grissom, my PA. Lady, you are wonderful and I appreciate you so very much. Thank you for everything you do. You’re a rock star! I promise to tell you more often!
Deranged Doctor Designs created this sexy cover. I love working with them and they are top notch for sure. Thank you.
Judy Rosen – lady you sure can polish a rock and turn it into a diamond and for that I am grateful. Thank you.
Carol and Denise, thank you for Beta reading. I so appreciate your eyes and opinions.
Roadies, ahh, ladies, thank you for all the sharing and caring you do. What a wonderful group of gals we have sharing the love and spreading the word.
Road Queens, thank you for popping in each day and tuning in on Monday nights to chat with Gene and I. We enjoy you all so very much and appreciate you!
My husband, Gene, is my rock, biggest fan, my comic relief, my partner in crime and my soul mate. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. I love you completely.
My children and grandchildren, thank you for cheering me on and offering support when it’s needed. Sometimes you don’t even know when I need a boost, but you always offer it and I am eternally grateful for that. Thank you for understanding that I love my work (not more than you, ever) and that I do it because it’s what makes me tick.
Without further delay, I present to you Sizzling Nights, book five in the Servicemen of Blossom Springs.

Love may be the only thing strong enough to save them from the flames of the past.
When danger ignites, only love can douse the flames.
Former Navy SEAL Marco Karason has traded the battlefield for the kitchen, seeking solace as the head chef at Sarge’s Sandbar in the quiet town of Blossom Springs. But peace is fleeting when his protective instincts are triggered by Theresa Miklovic, the fiery server with a past as mysterious as her captivating smile.
Theresa isn’t just rebuilding her life; she’s hiding from it. A former investigative journalist, she exposed a dangerous criminal syndicate, only to become their next target. Strange events including threatening notes, vandalism, and suspicious shadows, prove her enemies haven’t forgotten her. Now, she must trust the one man who seems capable of protecting her, even as their undeniable chemistry threatens to complicate everything.
As danger closes in, and danger threatens to destroy the restaurant and possibly their lives, Marco is forced to step out of the kitchen and back into combat mode. Together, he and Theresa must uncover the truth, outsmart their enemies, and confront the sparks that fly between them.
Can they extinguish the danger before it consumes them both?
Sizzling Nights is a steamy, small-town romantic suspense that blends passion, danger, and redemption. USA Today bestselling author PJ Fiala delivers a heart-pounding story of love that burns as bright as the flames threatening to destroy it all.
