Let's play Six Degrees of Separation with Caridad Pineiro, THE CLAIMED, Wounded Warriors, and Pearl Harbor.
1. Everyone on Pearl Harbor is talking about the new movie BATTLESHIP.
2. BATTLESHIP features Lieutenant Colonel Greg Gadson, a wounded warrior and double amputee, who plays a character like himself. Colonel Gadson is currently the commander of the Army Wounded Warrior Unit. Read more about this inspirational soldier at this link.3. Colonel Gadson inspired the NY Giants to win the Superbowl in 2008.
4. The NY Giants play in the Meadowlands, NJ.
5. NJ is home of paranormal author Caridad Pineiro.
6. Caridad is donating a portion of the proceeds from her new book, THE CLAIMED, to HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS. To learn more about this effort, check out this link.
THE CLAIMED is the second book in The Sin Hunter Series:
Victoria Johnson loves her life. She’s her own boss in a quaint beachside town, and has great friends who keep her grounded. If only they knew who she really is: an heiress to an ancient race who possesses astonishing superhuman powers. It’s Victoria’s duty to restore her clan of Light Hunters to their former glory by choosing the perfect mate. In Christopher Sombrosa, she just may have found him. Strong, smart, and successful, Christopher exudes a powerful energy. Their connection is sensual, irresistible-and forbidden.
A member of the Shadow Hunter clan, Christopher has defied his own father to lead his people away from affliction and violence. Yet he cannot ignore his duty to carry on his ancient bloodline. Stunningly beautiful and brimming with an erotic life force, Victoria is everything Christopher ever hoped for in a mate . . . but as a Light Hunter, she’s his mortal enemy. Together, they could unite their warring tribes. But murderous factions on both sides don’t want peace-and they’ll stop at nothing to keep light and darkness apart forever.
