It’s no secret that I read. A lot. Mostly romance novels, which, to be fair, is because I like to use my down time to turn my brain off and since TV doesn’t really interest me, books are usually my entertainment.

A while back, knee deep in all the offerings that are out there in the Military Romance genre, I found myself curious as to why there was little to nothing to be found that was Canadian. Even Canadian authors seemed to stick mostly to American characters. As well, I found that in romance, soldiers almost always wait until they are done with the military before they settle down, the general idea being that romance during a military career is impossible. While I love a good over-the-top Navy SEAL or Black Ops story as much as the next girl, I started craving something that I could relate more closely to.

Fast forward a bit and I was supposed to be writing the anthology of this blog. The She Is Fierce book. I had an outline, I had some interest, it made sense to start putting the book together.

So I sat down at my computer one day and I started writing.
Except what came out wasn’t our story, it was Tavish and Juliette’s story.

Even more surprising was that when I finished writing I realized that their story was only the first in my head.

And that’s the beginning of the Way Home Series.

It starts in Alberta in 1999, when a teenaged Tavish meets Juliette. Then he leaves to join the Infantry, 9/11 happens and everyone’s world changes.

I wrote this series because I wanted to read a story about average Canadian combat soldiers and the people who loved them during the war in Afghanistan.
I’m hoping that maybe there’s a few others out there who were looking for stories like that, too.

(The Way Home Series  is intended for adult readers. Subject matter includes combat related PTSD, suicide, domestic violence and sexual assault. While every intention was made to discuss these topics both realistically and with compassion, some may find these parts triggering. Please contact the author if you would like more information.)

The Way Home Series

Book 1: All The Way Home

Tavish and Juliette

Juliette has been walking through life broken and hurting for years, always relying on her friend Tavish to be there for her when she needs him. Tavish would do anything for her, that is, until he enlists in the infantry and leaves town, and possibly Juliette, for good.

Soon the events of 9/11 change everything, and an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan prompts him to reconnect with Juliette 5 years later. Despite the time apart she soon finds herself leaning on him again as their reunion leads to something much more. That’s when tragedy strikes during his deployment and Tavish comes home shattered. Is Juliette strong enough to offer him the support he has always given her? Will it be enough for both of them to find their way home?

“I think that I went through every single emotion possible through this story.” Kayla Miller

Book 2: Fight for Home

Mark and Megan

How long do you hold things together on your own before you forget how to share the load?

When it was just a few appointments and tests, she didn’t want to worry him.
By the time it became surgery and chemo, a decade of marriage, deployments and relocations as a military wife meant she had forgotten how to ask for help.
Even from her husband.

Their Happily Ever After was only the first chapter of their story.

“Written from the truth of lived experience, Kim captures the life of the family of warriors – those in uniform and those who keep the Home fires burning.”  ~ Brian Colgate

 “This book was intense, heartbreaking, and filled with joy.” ~ Night Owl Reviews

Book 3: Run from Home

Twiz and Erika

If only running away from each other was as easy as it sounds.

Twiz

I know who I am and what kind of violence I’m capable of. Which is why, no matter how badly I want to take this feisty redhead and keep her, I can’t.

When I run with her, though, I see a way to escape the reality of my career crashing down around me. When she’s threatened, it’s all I can do not to take her home with me always to keep her safe.

But then, who will keep her safe from me?

Erika

I promised myself I wouldn’t fall in love with the soldier. I live for control, but he keeps insisting on taking it all away and the worst part is, I want him to have it. I may not need a knight in shining armour, but this battle worn grunt in dusty combat boots is trying to rescue me anyways.

I know that he’s not the monster he thinks he is.

Now, I just have to get him to see that before we both run too far to find our way back to each other.

Book 4: Broken Home

Jeremy and Jordyn 

She wants to be more than his shot at redemption.

Jeremy

I had everything once. A military career I loved, a family, a future.

I threw it all away.

Now I live my life alone, and every day make amends for what I did by accepting what I can never have again. Brotherhood, purpose, love… it’s not in the cards for me and that’s no one’s fault but mine.

Then she walks in with her wild hair and her gorgeous spirit.

She’s been through hell and I should be the last person she runs to.

So why do I keep doing all I can to keep her close?

Jordyn

I used to be loud, outgoing, friendly. I had friends and plans, I was heading to the life I thought I wanted.

When they took everything from me, it was all I could do to just try and survive. Friendship, relationships, love… I couldn’t even consider the possibility when I didn’t know where my next meal would come from.

I should be running in the opposite direction from the sexy bartender with the haunted eyes and devastating grin.

I shouldn’t be agreeing to work for him. I definitely shouldn’t be agreeing to live with him.

He says he’ll keep me safe.

If only I knew if he meant from himself.
