Guest Author Stacy Eaton

Today, I welcome my friend and author Stacy Eaton to the Realm. Stacy is not only the author of the bestselling supernatural series My Blood Runs Blue and the beautifully written novel, Whether I'll Live or Die, she's also a sworn Law Enforcement officer, working hard to keep her city safe. Stacy's newest novel, Garda ~ Welcome to the Realm, is now available. Welcome to the Realm, Stacy!










Andrea, thank you so much for allowing me to visit your blog and with your readers today! It is a pleasure to be here. 

As you probably already know, my full time profession is not writing, but law enforcement. I’ve been a sworn Law Enforcement officer for just about 13 years now, and still love the job.  When I first started, I spent all my shifts working the street on patrol. I dealt with just about everything from animal complaints of barking dogs to violent assaults between strangers and everything in between.

These days I spend most of my time off the street working investigations. I love forensics and I love puzzles, so trying to put the pieces of crimes together to find the links and the culprits is stimulating to me. 

When I put my full time career together along with my passion for writing I get the fictional stories that I write about. While all my books are fiction, the details of the law enforcement side are as real as they can be. The details as to what an officer does in the dark of the night, or how they answer their radios. The emotions they feel as they respond to an incident and the questions that spin through their minds as a suspect talks. I bring those thoughts, actions and feelings to life in a very realistic way, because I have most times, witnessed something very similar to those moments at one time or another in my career. 

In my newest book, Garda – Welcome to the Realm, Corey Hamilton is an officer.  She’s a strong woman who is invested in her career and helps people in so many different ways. You will see through Mitch O’Reilly’s eyes as he watches her take down a suspect in the very beginning of the story. You’ll ride with Mitch and Corey and they deal with a few calls. You’ll feel the emotions and witness the intensity of a police officer’s funeral. 

I love using my police knowledge to enhance a story. So many times I have read a book where the author tries to portray the correct actions of a police officer, only to fail and use terminology or details that are wrong. I’m lucky that I don’t have to research these things because I have lived them, and the few things that I have not dealt with, I know people who have and we’ve talked. 

So, if any of your readers are looking for a new book to read, one that will make them laugh and then cry and then laugh again. One that will make their heart beat fast and their mind to race while they try to figure out the twist that is coming next, I hope they will check out Garda – Welcome to the Realm. 




Book Blurb: 

“He is my destiny."

There is a place that lies between heaven and Earth, it is called The Realm. Within this place, the Guards of Peace, known as Garda Síochána, learn to guide and protect the ones that live below until they are called home.

Officer Corey Hamilton is dedicated to being the best that she can be, in uniform and out. Her loving nature, compassionate thoughts, and warrior strength make her the perfect candidate to join the Garda Síochána and spend her eternity protecting and guiding others.

Just before Corey dies in a line-of-duty accident, she meets Officer Mitchell O’Reilly. Her feelings for him may change her destiny, but not for the better, as she falls in love with this married man. Brock, Corey’s personal Garda, will bring her home to The Realm and attempt to train her for her future, even while she still fights for her past.

Will Brock be able to direct Corey down the right path, or will she cross the line and fall from grace?

Join Corey, Mitchell, and Brock for an emotional and heart-pounding adventure that is sure to make you wonder if angels are really guiding us in our everyday lives.
