The Release Day Blitz has so much to offer and I wanted to share a lot with you.

I hope you will take the time to browse the “Get To Know The Author” guest post, take a gander at the delicious apple pie recipe and enter the awesome giveaway at the end of the post.

The title of the book intrigued me so much I had to find out what Text by Cambria Hebert is about.

One text can change everything. I love it!

I read the synopsis and knew I wanted to read Honor’s story.

One text can change everything.

Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true.

She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.

But Honor didn’t go down there alone.

She took her kidnapper’s phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.

Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country.

But a single text changes everything.

Nathan becomes Honor’s only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he’s never met.

Both of them want freedom… but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.

GUEST POST

Hey everyone!

As part of  Text’s release day I thought I would share with you a little something about the main character, Nathan.

A few fun facts about Nathan:

Nathan is a United States Marine.

Nathan works out a lot. He’s hot.

Guns are his hobby and his job.

He loves apple pie.

Like the man is serious about his pie. He loves it. In fact, when I was writing Text I baked pies a lot. Ha ha ha. My family really enjoyed it.

So today I brought along my recipe for Apple Pie. I’m calling it Nathan’s apple pie in honor of my main man in Text.

It’s the perfect time of year to bake, eat and enjoy!!

 Nathan’s Apple Pie

 Ingredients

You can use store-bought crust or you can make your own.

To make a double pie crust:

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup butter

½ cup shortening

6 tablespoons ice-cold water

Apple Pie Filling:

4-8 Granny Smith apples (depends on size)

4 tablespoons cut-up butter

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (Nathan likes lots of cinnamon. This can easily be cut down to taste.)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (This helps the sauce in the pie thicken.)

Directions

To make crust:

Cut together the flour, salt, butter, and shortening with a pastry fork until blended. Add water one Tbsp at a time and mix with fork until it firms into a ball. Separate the ball into two smaller balls. Roll each out onto a heavily floured surface, flipping over frequently. Place one crust in the bottom of a pie pan and reserve the other crust for topping the pie once it is full.

To make filling:

Peel and slice all the apples. Add all slices into a bowl. Mix the apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and flour until well coated. Dump apples into pie crust. Place the 4 tablespoons of cut-up butter around on top of the apples.

Cover the pie with the remaining crust. Crimp the edges together. With a sharp knife, cut a few slits in the top crust (to allow steam to escape while baking), and then you can brush the top of the pie with an egg wash (egg wash = a beaten raw egg). This will give the crust its golden-brown appearance. Also, sprinkle granulated sugar over the top of the crust—which will give the pie a nice flavor and sweetness.

Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes, depending on oven.

Let cool and enjoy!

 Note: Nathan suggests serving your warm apple pie with a generous helping of French vanilla ice cream.

Cambria recommends enjoying with ice cream AND coffee.

Thanks for celebrating the release of TEXT with me!

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR

Readers have a great privilege of stepping directly into an author’s mind. They have in front of them in black and white what someone else was thinking and feeling as they were writing. It’s actually pretty personal.

But  even though you read the thoughts that swirl through an author’s mind doesn’t mean you really know them, because the thoughts and feelings they write are usually a character’s.

I think sometime’s reader’s wonder about the person behind the book. The author.

So in today’s post I am going to tell you 10 things about me that you don’t know.

10 things about Cambria

1. My favorite movies are the Fast & Furious movies. I watch them all the time.
2. I hate crickets. All the crickets that are around my house are always missing a leg. It’s the creepiest thing ever.
3. My favorite food of all time is cereal. (Any kind)
4. When I write I wear a hoodie and flip the hood up over my head. It blocks out distractions.
5. I’m extremely stubborn. (Yep, I’m a Taurus)
6. I can be superstitious.
7. I hate clutter. (That show hoarders gives me hives).
8. I use Proactiv because I suffer from acne. (notice I said suffer. I mean really, is it fair I am 32 and still have to have it??)
9. I like to run. It helps me clear my head and manage stress.
10. I’ve moved six times in the past 10 years.

And those are ten things about Cambria Hebert.

Now tell us one thing about you!
