Homegrown Terrorists vs. Navy SEALs
SEAL My Home has just released, Book 2 of the Bad Boys of SEAL Team 3. It is part of my larger SEAL Brotherhood series. I’ve written the story of a Navy SEAL, raised in foster care, never knowing family, and finding it in the brotherhood of his SEAL teammates. Along the way, he uncovers a terrorist cell, who threatens to destroy everything he now holds dear.
I debated a little before writing this story, since I’ve taken certain license with certain elements in the news around home grown terrorists. The fact is, there are terrorist training camps within the borders of the United States today. My hero questions why they are allowed to remain, just like the reader does. While I don’t solve this problem, I do reveal that this may become part of our social landscape in the months and years to come. The bombings and terrorist attacks so common in war-torn areas may be coming to our own shores in the not-too-distant future.
One of the traits that is most unique and the reason I love to write my SEAL stories is the fact that these warriors absolutely can’t stand bullies, or people who prey on the innocent, and are highly trained to defend them, even at the cost of their own lives. But this poses a problem when the acts of terror occur on home turf, and that’s where the story lies.
Then I threw in finding the love of his life, a near career-ending snowboard accident, and the appearance of family he’s never known, and my hero, Rory Kennedy, is suddenly ill-prepared for all these events, in spite of his training.
Here’s a short excerpt:
Rory made fists with his hands, which caught the notice of the detectives. If both of them were missing, something was definitely wrong. Kyle’s brow was wrinkled, and he was gently shaking his head.
“And you’ve had no contact since L.A. No phone calls or emails with his office, with this Derek guy?”
“Absolutely, no. I haven’t checked my computer in a few days, but last time I did, nothing.”
“Would you check it right now, please?” one of the detectives asked.
Rory got up slowly, positioning his cane for steadiness. Kyle stopped him.
“Let me. Where is it?”
“Next to the bed.”
Rory walked slowly with his cane for support and leaned slightly into a stool as Kyle placed the computer on the eating bar. The two detectives looked over Rory’s shoulder. Scrolling through his Gmail account inbox, he found something he’d never seen before.
It was a single line item with a subject line: Raymond Corrigan, from Raymond Corrigan’s computer. Underneath there was a single picture, which flashed slowly on the screen line by line. It was a picture of Raymond, bound and gagged, barefoot, sitting on a chair on a concrete floor of some dark warehouse. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit. On his lap was a copy of the New York Times dated today. His eyes were swollen shut with dark bruises. Underneath the picture were the chilling words:
Proof of Life.

That was a good excerpt. It was just enough to draw you in but not give anything away.

You are welcome, Cody. Thank Sabrina for being a gracious hostess!
I love your books Sharon. Thank you and Sabrina thank you for writing about our true heroes. The military.
Yup, couldn’t agree more, Tina. We do love our guys. Our pleasure. I’m sure Sabrina feels the same way.
Great excerpt. You are a new author to me and would enjoy checking out your books.
Yay, Jennifer! Thanks so much. Right now the first book in my series, Accidental SEAL is free, so you can make a no-commitment commitment! All eReaders, and on audio (not free on audio).
You are a new to me author and I thank Sabrina for the introduction. Sounds like an interesting story. The premise, so timely. Scary in it’s eerie truthfulness. I look forward to reading this.
It is eerie and yes, unfortunately, it is going to be more and more a reality. Not sure the public is ready for this. That’s why I hesitated, but then, I thought, I should tell this story. Why wait for a tragedy? I mean, if I could help people be more conscious, perhaps I can do some good.
Thank you for the chance. Love these books.
Love you, Shannon. Best of luck! Accidental SEAL is free, but I think you already have it. Nice to see you here.
I love Sharon Hamilton’s books. Looking forward to reading SEAL My Home! If you haven’t read her books yet…what are you waiting for?

Karn, and that’s exactly how these stories come to me. I see most of them in dreams.
Wow, Sharon, this sounds like a plot that could easily be pulled from a headline! I love knowing that your stories are so true to life from a military perspective and that you’re really crafting these with an eye towards our current world as well. Thanks for sharing a bit about this new book in this series!
You are welcome, Fedora. Yes, these things are fiction, but there is a lot of real life truth in them as well. I think a good story brings awareness.
I LOVE Sharon’s books….can not wait to read more!
Bless you, Kelli! I appreciate you so much!
As much as I luv a hawt SEAL story, I’m running off to check out your naughty angels series! I’m a Supernatural fan, and I’m immediately thinking of my hottie angel Cas!! 🙂
LOL. My guardian angels are pretty hot too. I have a whole underworld where all kinds of unmentionable things occur, and the dark worlds of the Golden Vampires of Tuscany too. I hope you get lost in them, Veronica!
