Mary Behre is back in Tidewater

ENERGIZED
Tidewater, Book #3
Berkley Publishing

A kiss between strangers draws both into unexpected danger and unforgettable desire…

She’s searching for a sign…

Hannah Halloran has always believed in her gift. The things she sees through her psychic touch have never led her wrong before. Not when they led her to an unforgettable night with a sexy marine at a bar. Not when she felt a need to leave her home and find the sisters she barely knows. And not now, when she is an unwilling witness to a brutal murder.

He’s ready to show her…

All Niall Graham wants is some peace. He’s recovering from the horrors of war, struggling to save his family’s restaurant, and desperate to forget Hannah, the beautiful woman who left him with memories of a mind-blowing night together and a bogus phone number. But a quiet life is hard to manage—especially when Hannah strides back into his restaurant with the news that a serial killer is on the loose and lurking closer than anyone could have guessed.

MARY BEHRE is an award-winning author who loves stories with humor, suspense, a touch of the paranormal and above all else, a good romance. She tries not to take herself too seriously, often claiming as the lone female in a house full of males, she’s the undisputed queen. And even has the glittery tiara to prove it. When not writing, she enjoys reading, gluten-free baking, and hanging out at the beach with the most important men in her life, her family.

Her debut paranormal romance, SPIRITED (Tidewater Novel #1) was an award-winning manuscript before it sold to Berkley Sensation. The Tidewater Series is mix of humor, suspense, and a psychic love-connection. The first three stories are about three sisters separated years before in the foster care system. As they search for love, each other, and a way to live with their psychic abilities, they're tossed into the middle of mysteries that only their unique gifts can help solve.

THE ENERGIZED Q&A
ANGI: Ice cream or Cake?
MARY: Ice cream, definitely. And if we’re placing orders, I’d like two scoops of Pralines & Cream with extra caramel, whipped cream, and a cherry in a cup. :)

ANGI: Benedict Cumberbatch or Chris Pine?
MARY: Both. I’m a sucker for a smart man with blue eyes. Wait, I already have one of those. :)

ANGI: Veggies or a good dessert?
MARY: Is there such thing as a bad dessert? Dessert definitely.

ANGI: What’s your favorite meal?
MARY: Whatever meal comes with dessert. :)

ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon character?
MARY: Does Groot count? He’s more of a comic book/movie character. But what’s not to love about a giant talking tree who can make the world a better place while kicking bad guys’ butts?
ANGI: I. Am. Groot.

ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?
MARY: He’s a Marine who’s honest, hard-working, and imperfect.

ANGI: Is there a playlist you’d recommend for reading your latest release?
MARY: Ooh, this is fun! Let’s see, “Come With Me Now” by the Kongos, “Love Me Again” by Jon Newman, “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence, “Steal My Kisses” by Ben Harper, and “I’ve Seen a Little” by Alan Doyle.

ANGI: Where do you read and how often?
MARY: I read every chance I get, so that’s pretty much anywhere I can. :)

ANGI: What do you like best about ENERGIZED?
MARY: It was the most fun to write. That sounds kind of strange considering there’s a vicious murderer in the book, but the characters were so alive in my head that it made the whole process so much more enjoyable.

ANGI: What’s your favorite rerun on television?
MARY: I don’t have cable or satellite. So I don’t know what’s on TV these days. :) When streaming Netflix, I enjoy watching Miss Fischer’s Murder Mysteries. (A television show filmed in Australia.)

ANGI: Are you looking forward to any movie releases?
MARY: MINIONS!! Although, by the time this comes out, the movie will already be out and I will have probably seen it twice. :)

ANGI: What's your most favorite thing to do in your state?
MARY: Virginia is a diverse state. There’s an ocean on side and mountains on the other. I think my favorite activity in the Commonwealth is to spend time at the ocean.

ANGI: Who’s your favorite villain?
MARY: Mr. Wickham is my favorite villain of all time. He’s such a scoundrel, so contemptuous for the time period (Pride & Prejudice) that it’s almost fun to hate him. He’s worse than a killer because he’s really a giant loser of his own making.

ANGI: Hiking Boots or Dancing Heels?
MARY: With the National RWA Conference on the brain, I’d have to say, dancing heels. :)

ANGI: How is it working with hot guys and sexy women all day?
MARY: Fun and incredibly busy.

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What is your best wish come true?
MARY’s GOTTA ANSWER: Walking into a book store and seeing my books on the shelf. It’s been more than a year since it first happened and I’m still giddy every time I find my book in the wild.

SPIRITED Away with Mary Behre

SPIRITED
A Tidewater Novel
Berkley Sensation

SOME VISIONS ARE DEAD WRONG…
She’s running from who she is…

All Jules Scott wants is to live a normal, quiet life–preferably one that doesn’t include ghosts. Jules’s ability for communicating with the dead has brought her nothing but trouble. Despite her best efforts, needy spirits always find her and draw her into their otherworldly drama. When one implicates her in a series of deadly crimes, she may need to entrust her secrets to the person least likely to believe her…

He’ll do whatever it takes to catch her.

Detective Seth English can’t get distracted from the big case he’s working on, not even by his alluring new neighbor. He doesn’t believe that Jules had anything to do with the string of robberies-turned-murders that he’s investigating, but when she keeps showing up in all the wrong places, his gut tells him she knows more than she’s letting on. To solve his case, he’ll need to expose what the sexy redhead is hiding–no matter how impossible the truth may be…

WHAT THE SPIRITS WON'T TELL YOU
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
MARY: Every chance I get! J If I’m not writing, I’m reading. Even if I’m driving, I’m reading…well, listening to a book.
 
ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading? 
MARY: HORTON HATCHES THE EGG…Dr. Seuss was my hero.

ANGI: What’s your favorite “love” word?
MARY: Love. I’m a traditionalist. I want to hear those three words. In my house we say them often because real love never gets old.

ANGI: Can you tell us about a real-life hero you’ve met?
MARY: I worked for the American Red Cross for years. On May 25, 2001, the movie PEARL HARBOR released in theaters. I was invited to dress as WWII Red Cross nurse and greet actual veterans of the Pearl Harbor attack at the movie’s screening. I met a Marine who enlisted at age 16 (he lied about his age to get into the military) who went from being the new man on the ship to a gunner in the space of a few hours. It was the most moving experience of my life.
 
ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon character?
MARY: Horton the Elephant.

ANGI: What sound or noise do you love?
MARY: The sound of my children laughing. They have such great laughs.

ANGI: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
MARY: Action Adventure, definitely.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
MARY: It’s A Wonderful Life by Frank Capra. There’s so much in that movie that you can watch it every year for twenty years and still catch something new each time.

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What is your favorite, favorite thing about SPIRITED?
MARY's GOTTA ANSWER:   The hallway scene after Seth and Jules meet for the first time. Cracks me up every time.

Book 2 in the Tidewater Series
releases August 5, 2014

This book is about Shelley, Jules’s middle sister.
She’s given up on finding love…
Veterinarian Shelley Morgan has always preferred animals to humans, and not simply because she can communicate with them psychically. Unlike most people she’s known, animals have never broken her heart. But after six months in her new town, some of her favorite four-legged companions begin disappearing from the local zoo. Determined to track down the animals and their thief, the telepathic vet decides to investigate, unknowingly delving into a deadly mystery…

He’s ready to make her heart go wild…
Although his bear-like physique has been an advantage in the Tidewater Police Department, Dev Jones’s size often intimidates people. Only Shelley has seen past his massive build to the intelligent man inside, but that was years ago. So when she contacts him requesting his help to solve a series of animal kidnappings, he’s eager to reconnect with her. But the thefts escalate to murder and all the evidence points to Shelley as the killer, and Dev faces a devastating choice: forsake his career or risk losing the woman he’s grown to love…

MARY is giving away  a swag bag and a signed copy of SPIRITED.
