Happy New Year!
I just wanted to send you a note wishing you the best of 2023! I’ve been super busy, having been in the path of Hurricane Ian and helping some friends who lost most everything, so I don’t have anything imminently coming out to report. I have been working on a romantic mystery, though, set in Louisiana with thwarted love, murder, and evocative surroundings. I hope to release that sometime this year. Part of what’s kept me busy this past year was turning my book UNFORGIVABLE into a screenplay. That’s been quite the endeavor! Turning 400-plus pages into a 120 page script is a big learning experience, let me tell you. I’ve been working with a gentleman who’s in the business and has been helping me, and I’m hoping to attract a producer who will take it on and shop it. I will keep you informed! And most of the fall, the hurricane. We were blessed with Ian, as we live on a river (small, but still). The river rose right up to our deck, but thank God didn’t come up any higher. We lost a lot of branches, a couple of trees, a bunch of shingles (sounded like gorillas on our roof!), and our boat, which we kept at a Ft. Myers Beach marina. We stayed for the fun, which was much safer than trying to evacuate from way down in south Florida. We lost power for just more than three days, but it was cool after the cold front, so we didn’t suffer too much. But our area was devastated along the coast (Ft. Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva, Pine Island, and Matlacha to name a few areas), and it’s going to be a long road to recovery. It’s heartbreaking. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! Ours was quiet, and when I saw the travel nightmare on the news, I’m glad we didn't have to go anywhere. Maybe at some point if we have distant grandchildren, we’ll be tempted, but no way for now. You may know that I’m also a literary agent, and I’ve shepherded some great books to publication that are out in the next few months. In March, look for The Wisdom of Wildly Creative Women by Angela LoMenzo, which showcases twenty-six amazing, strong, creative women who share their travails, traumas, successes, and inspiration with beautiful photos. Also coming for the diet-conscious folks, another great DIRTY LAZY KETO book by Stephanie Laska, who makes the keto diet fun and loose and easy. But always remember that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. Don’t be hard on yourself, just make goals and love yourself right to them. Thank you for being part of my newsletter! Cheers, Tina Wainscott

It’s heat and vacations and long car or airplane rides—good reasons to chill with a great book, right? But, really, who needs a reason, especially when my publisher is offering the Falling Fast collection in one boxed set! The Falling Fast collection is set in the Florida Panhandle in the summer and is ripe with heat, racecars, and overcoming huge challenges. Most of us have experienced tragedy and hardships, and some people really get stuck in their stories. In my stories, my people take the opportunity to grow through and from their pasts and mistakes to find wholeness and love. These aren’t fluffy reads: messing up someone’s life in an accident, date rape, and betrayal are some of the things my people have to contend with. But know that they do find their happily ever after…after I’ve put them through a whole lot of angst! Speaking of challenges and angst, I hope that you are taking time for self-care during these challenging times. Remember to breathe deeply, put your feet on the earth, and live in gratitude for all that’s good—and know that even the challenges bring out our best when we can see their gifts. Now, grab a few books, kick back, and enjoy your summer!

Hello, Friends! For those of you who've been with me for...well, forever, thank you for hanging in there while I found a new home to share tidbits, new releases, and specials. Today, I have a fairly new release, which you might not have heard about since I was fussing with my website and newsletter. And the best news . . . One Last Promise is on sale for only $0.99 this week! I hope you enjoy reading this short post as much as I loved researching this romantic supernatural thriller! Tina This was a "Wow, what an amazing world we live in!" moment, standing on Doe Mountain after a long hike up.. It was hard to put myself into a thriller mindset, wondering what I'd do if I were living out here and saw a plane go down. Imagining myself doing a good thing and finding myself in a life-and-death situation with a sexy, mysterious guy I wasn't sure I could trust...but the other guys were pretty darn clear about trying to kill us both. Ever slept outside in the desert? I have! Well, I cheated. I rented a little guest cottage out in the boonies and enjoyed some creative time, some quiet time, and the experience of being out in the wild, so to speak. I wanted to get a taste of what Claire and Quade felt and saw and smelled while having to spend the night in the wilderness. I heard animals rustling and saw so many stars it was if I were looking at a different sky. Thankfully, I wasn't hiding from bad guys who were out to kill me, so there's that! As you know from my Love and Light book series, I absolutely believe that our souls are infinite, and that our experience here in this life is because our souls long to feel everything: love, joy, and yes, even grief and pain. My new romantic bestseller ONE LAST PROMISE explores all of these, and especially hope. ONE LAST PROMISE is a book of my heart, with action and a gut-wrenching love story...and an HEA that my peeps have to work hard for. And this week only it's on sale for the first time ever! Now, about the Book! One Last Promise is a Stand-Alone Story - No Cliffhanger! Romantic Thriller - Supernatural Suspense Visit your favorite book retailer to learn more and to grab your copy while it's on sale!
