Hello Romancing the Genres readers! Authors4Veterans
(A4V) is thrilled to be here today to tell you a little about us (Stacey &
PJ), our books, our mission, and the sponsoring authors who help make A4V
possible. We are a non-profit charity dedicated to supporting veterans and
their families, to show our love and appreciation for those who’ve served our
country.
Both of us are mothers of military sons, and veterans
causes and charities have always been a focus for both of us, so we decided to
take it to the next level with Authors4Veterans.
Not only do we love supporting our veterans, but we
each also love to write military men and women in our books. Stacey Joy Netzel’s
Dare
to Trust in her Colorado Trust Series features a wounded-yet-fiesty veteran
heroine, and PJ Fiala’s Moving to Love has a
sexy-as-all-get-out veteran hero.

Back to A4V and our mission...we are currently
supporting Fisher House Milwaukee by putting together care packages for
families with veteran loved ones in the Zablocki Milwaukee VA Medical Center.
In November 2017, A4V delivered 30 overflowing care packages filled with books,
personal care and comfort items, and snacks donated by our awesome sponsoring authors
(many of whom have military family members, have served themselves, and/or write
military romance).
Make sure to check them out – these wonderful authors go
above and beyond for those who have gone above and beyond.

Stacey Joy
Netzel: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Stacey Joy
Netzel promises no matter the trials of the journey, you get a Happily Ever
After at the end of her books. She is a wife, daughter, and mother of veterans,
and lives in N.E. Wisconsin with her family, a horse, and some hilarious cats. She
writes steamy romantic suspense and small town contemporary romance with sexy,
rugged heroes, and strong, resilient heroines. Colorado, Wisconsin, and Italy
are favorite settings for her books, and she is a three time winner of
Wisconsin Romance Writers’ Write Touch Readers’ Award.
PJ Fiala: Writing
has been a desire my whole life. Once I found the courage to write, life
changed for me in the most profound way. Bringing stories to readers that I'd
enjoy reading and creating characters that are flawed, but lovable is such a
joy.
When not writing, I'm with my family doing
something fun. My husband, Gene, and I are bikers and enjoy riding to new
locations, meeting new people and generally enjoying this fabulous country we
live in.
I come from a family of veterans. My grandfather,
father, brother, two sons, and one daughter-in-law are all veterans. Needless
to say, I am proud to be an American and proud of the service my amazing family
has given.

Stacey and PJ, Thank you for being our guests today on Romancing The Genres. A4V is certainly a worthwhile endeavor and shows what any of us can do when we are passionate and committed to a cause. RTG's own Paty Jager is one of your sponsoring authors and I hope you pick up a few more Genre-istas or our readers this weekend.
Would love to know more about what sponsoring authors actually do to contribute. Since you supply more than books in those care packages, I'm assuming there is more involved.
What a great organization! I just signed up for your newsletter. Hoping I can help in the future. Great blog post!
Sounds like a great cause. I will sign up for your newsletter and await any call to send things.
My first published romantic suspense book was written about a group of Marines who retired after 20 years in the military after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wrote it while my son was serving there as a Marine. Both my fears and hopes for his safe return, bodily and mentally, were in that book. At that same time his fiancee, now wife, was serving in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier in the Gulf.
I loved writing it so much that I decided to make it a series and continue to feature veterans in their stateside lives of finding and helping those who others have given up on finding alive.
Are you also familiar with Operation Paperback? I regularly send books to them as well, though they are new books direct shipped. http://www.operationpaperback.org/
Thanks for the work you do to serve those men and women who answer the call to serve both here and abroad.
I'm excited to sign up for your newsletter. This sounds like such a great organization!
