This is a very personal post for me. As many of you know we were in a horrific car accident June 5th and my 15yo son Pizza (Phoenix) suffered a traumatic brain injury, crushed skull and eye socket, among other breaks to his face. His frontal lobe was without oxygen for five hours before a miraculous surgery and the removal of his skull.

There were so many miracles throughout both of his intense surgeries and his stay in the ICU and trauma unit. We have every faith and hope that Pizza will soar back to full health and be whatever God needs him to be.

I can never thank you all enough for the prayers and love and concern!

I have a hard time thinking about the accident, thankfully I was knocked unconscious and unable to move so I didn't see my boy in such a terrifying state. We were so blessed by and grateful for all the first responders and then the medical experts who saved Pizza's life. We spent three weeks in Primary Children's Medical Center surrounded by earthly and heavenly angels. The peace we felt was unreal.


To attempt and give back I created this First Responders Collection and am selling it for only $.99 or FREE in Kindle Unlimited. All proceeds will be donated to Primary Children's Ronald McDonald Family Room, our home away from home.


Thank you all for the support, love, and especially the prayers,

Cami

Every emergency call could be their last. But God's plan just might lead them to the love that changes everything in these six pulse-pounding Christian romantic suspense novels.


Loving the Firefighter

When brilliant pediatrician Rachel Pearson moves to a small coastal town, she finds herself falling for the ruggedly handsome firefighter Grady Holman. However, their blossoming romance is quickly threatened by the powerful, mafia-affiliated Lanza family—the very same men responsible for the tragic death of Grady's father.


The Doctor Prince and the Outsider

Fleeing from the people who framed her for murder, billionaire heiress Hattie Ballard crashes her paraglider straight into the care of Dr. Steffan August. This handsome royal E.R. doctor will have to risk his own safety, his medical ethics, and his heart to protect her from the dangerous men tracking her down.


Don't Ditch a Detective

World-traveling humanitarian Cassie Strong accidentally pepper-sprays Park City detective Jed Beckham, sparking a wildly unexpected romance. Their devoted bond is put to the ultimate test when Cassie's charitable mission trip places her in the crosshairs of a terrifying attack at an orphanage.


The Wedding Fiasco

Wedding planner Aubrey Sorenson is thrilled to reconnect with her longtime crush, firefighter and handyman Wade Gem. Unfortunately, their romantic second chance is wildly interrupted when they are forced to dodge kidnappers and survive gunfights tied to Wade's manipulative friend.


Only Her Smokejumper Firefighter

Writer Mavyn Vance is on the run from her abusive ex-fiancé, certain she can never trust a man again. But she finds unexpected healing and a fierce protector in Ren Chadwick, a brave smokejumper who repeatedly saves her life and refuses to let her face her demons alone.


The Devoted Firefighter

Living under an assumed name to hide from her terrifying past, schoolteacher London Kearon is determined to keep her emotional walls up. But the patient, fiercely protective love of Fire Chief Maddox Greer helps her find the bravery to stop running and finally fight for her happily ever after.

I am honored to feature Unafraid by Eddie Penney and Keith Wood today.

When Keith reached out to me and asked some advice on the Christian publishing market I told him I'd read their book and get back to them.

I was so inspired, uplifted, and touched by the book I told my entire family they had to read it immediately. I wanted to share the book with all of you but I was a little reluctant because of some language that I felt some of my audience would find offensive. Honestly it was very minimal compared to what I'm sure a Navy SEAL hears every day, but I felt impressed to wait before promoting the book.

I stewed about it and then one day my boys asked me to buy David Goggins book. I told them there was no way I was buying a book for them that had foul language in it. They said, "There's a clean version." It was a lightbulb moment for me. A clean version. Why hadn't I thought of that?

I reached out to Keith immediately and asked if he and Eddie would be willing to do a 'clean version'. I was afraid they'd think I was being a prude or worrying too much about a few words that most readers wouldn't even notice. It would mean extra work for them and they are both busy dads, husbands, entrepreneurs, and Christians. Imagine my surprise when they were amazing and readily agreed to 'scrub' the book of any offensive words and get back to me. I'm so grateful for both of them!


Now I get the privilege of recommending Unafraid to all of you!

Eddie Penney is a true American hero and a Christian whose journey will touch your heart, bring you to tears, and inspire you to want to rise above mediocrity with the Savior's strength and light. Keith Wood does an incredible job of sharing Eddie's incredible and uplifting journey.

I hope you absolutely love the book! If you want the 'clean version' make sure you look for 'Young Adult Version' on the cover.


Hugs and thank you for always supporting and lifting me.

Blessings,

Cami
