Today I am featuring Author T. Hammond
I
am extremely excited to introduce you all to one of my newest favorite
authors & friends. This lovely lady won me over within moments,
& her books are just hysterically terrific! I devoured books 1-4 as
quickly as I could, & I admit I have been batting my eyes &
whispering sweet nothings in Tina's direction as often as possible to
convince her to share some #TeamRed excerpts, teasers...crumbs even! Hey, I'll take anything I can get!
The
genre can be a little difficult to decide on, so I like to tell people
that Tina's books don't jump out as paranormal to me. Yes there is a
"paranormal element", but they read much like a contemporary romance
style with a slight paranormal twist. Do NOT get me wrong her work is
not JUST a normal contemporary by any means! These are a true treat to
the senses! The characters are fabulously original & their scenes so
memorable we could be here all day while I recap the awesome from each
book with you...BUT I would much rather you read them for yourself.
**Feel free to chat with me all about it after.** ;) If the sarcastic
dog who repeats everything does not win you over surely the snarky come
backs from his loving family will have you jostling from laughter.
~ T. Hammond ~
T. Hammond lives in Spokane, WA with her
goofy, neurotic, long-coat German shepherd, Dexter; he's noble and
brave, until someone turns on the microwave, then she has 100lbs of
quivering dog trying to hide behind her chair or bury his head under a
pillow (Little known fact: a 100lb German Shepherd CAN fit under a
coffee table).
T. writes two concurrent versions of the Team Red
series for both the Adult and New Adult audiences. Blind Seduction and
Color Blind are part of the Blind series - featuring adult-themed erotic
romance combined with a humorous paranormal storyline. The Red series
featuring Red Rover and Red Zone (release date Aug 23rd) is a funny
paranormal romance series with a lighter PG13 type storyline. While both
series contain the same character names and a lot of shared dialogue,
the Red series is stripped of sexual content and language.
T feels
that writing is not a calling so much as it is a compulsion. No one is
more surprised than she is when characters take over the plot and
dialog, and (re)direct stories in directions she had not (consciously)
intended. She is fully convinced that the writer is the tool a story
uses to tell its tale. Some tools, of course, are more appropriate for
the job than others. Here's hoping, you feel she did her stories proud.
T.
has a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Management from Whitworth
University, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from
Gonzaga University and before becoming a writer she was a bookkeeper,
technical/manual writer, Call Center Manager and the owner of a
freshwater aquarium store, Guppy Tales.

Can a blind woman who shares a very special
bond with her dog, gain her independence and choose between the love of
TWO sailors?
In Blind Seduction an accident leaves Teresa March scarred and
completely blind. Encouraged by the support of her friends, Teresa sets
about adapting to life in the dark, reclaiming her independence.
Best friends make the toughest adversaries. Sebastian Declan and
David Preston retire after twenty years of service to their country.
Teresa’s scars discourage neither man in their newest mission: winning
her heart. Bastian’s battle is uphill, overcoming Teresa’s negative
teenage impression. David is a virtual stranger who fell in love with
Teresa through Bas’ pictures and childhood stories. These sexy sailors
will stop at nothing, including deploying military tactics, to secure
Teresa for themselves.
Smart, opinionated, and handsome commonly describe German Shepherds.
Teresa’s service dog, Red, is all this, and then some. Red and Teresa
are surprised to discover they share a bond which allows Red to speak
into Teresa’s mind. Red’s adept tracking skills, and ability to deduce
information, open new opportunities for the pair. More importantly, his
quirky humor brightens Teresa’s dark world.

strange looks you will get when you start to giggle uncontrollably), in
this Humorous, Spicy, Paranormal Romance.
WARNING: This book is INTENDED FOR MATURE ADULTS OVER 18. Contains
swearing, which is unfortunate, as the dog repeats everything. When you
have two hot, single-minded, sailors pursuing the same woman, graphic
language and sexual situations are inevitable.

Color Blind ~ Team Red Series ~ Book #2
Publication Date:
April 6, 2013
Blinded
and scarred in a freak accident a year ago, Teresa has finally found
love and a new career with the help of her companion dog, Red. Red
appears to be a typical German shepherd, but he shares a mental
communication link with his owner that is anything but ordinary. He’s
articulate, sassy and opinionated - he’s also scary-smart, and has a
talent for tracking.
Teresa and Red, have partnered with ex-Navy
men, David, and Bastian, to form Team Red. This unique Team helps the
local police department sift through evidence to find forensic clues
that only Red's sensitive nose, and Teresa's ability to ask the right
questions can uncover. A twist of fate brings Team Red to the attention
of the Military, and the Team gets ready for their first undercover
mission (we can only divulge at this point that Red looks adorable in
his tux).
WARNING:
This
book is a Laugh-Out-Loud paranormal extra spicy romance (Yes, I’ve
boldly meshed humor and sex *gasp!*). This Team Red book contains a
feisty blind woman with a sassy attitude; a snarky German shepherd who
stalks low flying objects (and the occasional cat); a man-cave with
secret tunnels and classified military toys; two sexy retired Navy men
with a talent for tactical planning; a formal invitation to a black and
white ball; Marilyn Monroe; and a herd of Mustangs (okay, maybe ‘herd’
is a slight exaggeration).

WHEN EVERYTHING TURNS UPSIDE DOWN
Picking up where Color Blind (book two) left off...
Teresa is reeling as her life comes crashing down around her.
Betrayal of the worst kind has left her struggling to put on a brave
front, setting aside shocked confusion, for the sake of those she cares
about. Her telepathic sight dog, Red, and Bastian, help to anchor her
against self-doubt and turbulent emotions.
Teresa’s colorful and varied friends arrive to celebrate Christmas
as the “family” they have become. Her friends are unaware of her
tattered heart, the day is appropriately filled with laughter and fun as
she graciously greets her holiday guests. Thoughtful gifts are in
abundance, including several wonderful surprises. Even Red gets into the
festivities with his unique insight (and a bit of sneaky doggy logic).
Bastian has remained steadfast in his love and loyalty to Teresa,
even when she chose David over him. But David has been living a lie,
throwing all Teresa thought she knew into question. As Bastian continues
to guard her personal safety against those trying to gain access to
PreClan technology, can he also reassure Teresa he is worthy of her
trust?
This version of the Team Red series is INTENDED FOR MATURE ADULTS
OVER 18. Contains graphic sexual content, and swearing, which is

Blind Rage ~ Team Red Series ~ Book #4
Publication Date:
May 14, 2014
Fifteen months ago, an accident left Teresa
March scarred and completely blind. Having chosen David after a lively
Siege to win her love, Teresa was stunned by his admission, and
subsequent desertion, on Christmas Eve.
Bastian Declan, David’s business partner and Teresa’s childhood
friend, has loved Teresa for years. He wastes no time seizing this new
opportunity to finally win her heart.
While David is stuck in Boston hoping to resolve the conflict
and restore his relationship with Teresa, PreClan’s top-secret
surveillance system is at a critical stage. Tension is high, and the
house is full of very capable guards, after another foiled attempt to
steal the technology. Teresa, vacillating between hurt at David’s
deception, and wonder at Bastian’s potential, doesn’t fully appreciate
the danger.
Teresa’s service dog, Red, is smart, opinionated, handsome, and
can talk. Well, at least to Teresa anyway. Understandably excited by
all the activity, will his vigilance and unique bond with Teresa be
enough to keep her safe?
BLIND RAGE picks up where Blind Faith (book three) left off. While
Bastian patiently shows Teresa he can be the partner she needs, they
both want closure regarding her relationship with David. Will Teresa
choose to forgive David, or will she open herself up to the possibility
of a more tumultuous love?
WELCOME TO TEAM RED!
BLIND RAGE will have you gasping in shock, sad with empathy, and
Laughing-Out-Loud (literally- some readers caution you should not eat or
drink while reading, or you will be spewing food/liquids when you get
to the funny parts... err, which make up a large portions of the book).
This version of the series is INTENDED FOR MATURE ADULTS OVER 18.
Contains graphic sexual content, and swearing, which is unfortunate as
the dog repeats everything.

Blind-sided ~ Team Red Series ~ Book #5
Expected Publication Date: November 2014
Teresa is buffeted by a whirlwind of activity.
Marcia
and Wes have moved to Spokane, and the cancer vigil begins; her final
wish is to see her son celebrate his 10th birthday. Compassionate
friends, Janey, Ken, Tara, and Jason, take over Marcia’s care in an
effort to relieve stress as Teresa wages her relentless struggle against
PTSD nightmares and paranoia.
Bastian is at an undisclosed East
Coast location doing PreClan military software upgrades. At home,
David is exerting subtle, yet unrelenting, pressure to give him a second
chance, proving how little he understands the woman he professed to
love. Will David’s obsession and persistence completely destroy his
tenuous relationship with her and Bas?
Teresa takes comfort in
Red’s constant and supportive presence. His antics and doggy wisdom keep
her smiling as she waits not-so-patiently for Bastian to return. Tank
bonds with Wes as the sad little boy watches his mom slip away.
The house is full of Mustangs, and the Wild Horse Compound, now
affectionately referred to as Mustang Ranch, is only a few weeks away
from completion. There is a feeling of security, yet not—Teresa’s
anxiety attacks seem to disregard logic. Thankfully, the Team Red detail
understands and supports her as she battles unseen demons.
WARNING: This book is a
Laugh-Out-Loud paranormal extra spicy romance (A bold mesh of military
tech, humor, and sex). The Team Red series contains a feisty blind
