knights—magically altered humans—are the only ones defending the portal from
Av'lor to Earth. With defeat imminent, they find an unlikely source of hope in
software engineer, Kathryn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Kathryn doubts her life could get
any worse after the death of her mother and daughter. She realizes her mistake
after she arrives on Av'lor with only part of her house and hungry creatures
looking for their next meal. Once the knights bring her under their protection,
she discovers their angry commander is far from welcoming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sir Lanclor, Commander of the
Knighthood, lives with the curse of betrayal. While the treachery occurred
lifetimes before, few see past his guarded shell to the grim man beneath.
Barely holding the Knighthood together, his grip tightens when Kathryn joins
their ranks. Her stubbornness and surprising strength not only energizes the
knights, but also makes Sir Lanclor question his self-imposed isolation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">With the approach of an invading
army, Kathryn and Sir Lanclor must find a way to end centuries of war and save
two worlds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"That
reminds me. The Ball of Remembrance is coming up in a few weeks. We should go
together."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"A
ball? You mean with dancing and stuff?" Kathryn remembered some of the
best times in her life on a dance floor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Yes.
Don’t sound so surprised. In the middle of a war, this is one of the few times
we can relieve stress. You have to go. There’ll be dancing, singing, drinking
and a ton of food. Everyone tends to relax their guard a little, maybe get a
little…friendly, if you know what I mean?" Elena’s smile was infectious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Wait.
They’re not going to be having sex on the dance floor, are they?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Kate,
men of Av’lor aren’t like that. They’ll at least take us someplace
private." Elena’s laugh made Kathryn smile and eventually join in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"I
think it would be a little awkward. I don’t know what any of the other knights
look like beneath their armor. What if I hooked up with someone I work with
every day? That would make things a little strained during drill the next
day." An officer would be even more awkward. Sir Garrent or Sir Lanclor.
Even worse, what if it was Jakara? Knife training would have a whole new
meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"Oh,
rank is suspended for the one day and it’s pretty anonymous. Everyone’s wings
will be the same color. License to party." Elena laughed and started
thrusting her hips towards the bathtub with a sponge in one hand and a bottle
of cleaner in the other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
How to stay motivated to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you'd begun writing you'll soon realize that your mind will wander in a million directions. If you haven't given yourself permission to write you're going to be thinking of the dishes in the sink and the clothes in the washer. Make sure your writing time is important to you and that will help motivate you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another key factor in writing is reading. Yep! You need to read to write. Now, I say this from experience. While writing my first book when I was much, much younger, I stopped reading. My purpose was because I didn't want to accidentally steal anything. But the truth is reading other writers only encouraged my creativity. Think about it...when you were younger and you danced until your heart was content you'd follow along at some point, right. It didn't make your dance any less yours. There are only so many story lines and so many words. It's how you string them together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Think about how music moves you to work out, or dance, or sing at the top of your lungs. That creative spark sparks another. Reading is much the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A less popular method of keeping motivated (this is usually by newer writers) is share your work. Find someone who is so enthusiastic about reading what you've wrote and share it with them. Their enthusiasm will spark yours. I'm not talking a critique partner either. I'm talking someone who just loves what you do. It might take some guts to find that person, but I tell you it's worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Again, journal everyday. I'm not saying you need to even journal your trip to the store. However, there is something in everyday. Look up writing prompts on Google. There are tons of them and they will spark your creativity a little bit. We can all use that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Create a blog. Everyone is an expert in something. Yes, even you can write a blog about something. Heck, Sienfield had an entire show about nothing--and that was the tag line! Create a blog calendar and search how to create blog content. It may not be a book, but it is keeping you writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The best way to keep motivated is to have a goal. Do you want to publish in magazines or write books? Are you going to submit to a big house, small house, or self-publish? If you're working with publishing houses you're going to be under contract to do certain things with your writing. A contract certainly motivates you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Motivating yourself to write will NEVER come easily. After 22 books published I still have to convince myself that I have to sit and write and not just mess around with it. Those dishes aren't going anywhere. They'll be there when I'm done. Writing is important to me. Luckily it pays my bills. So that is one motivating factor. The other is that I crave it and love it. Be true to yourself. That might be all the motivation you need.</div>

lay in bed reliving the gentle touch of Sarah's lips against his. The kiss was
such a surprise, and over before he realized her intentions. Could someone like
her really care for him? His heart pounded in his rib cage, and hurt and
longing clogged his throat. Tears pricked his eyes, and he closed them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

slept in the nude, so it wasn't hard for him to take inventory of the scars on
his body with his hands. He didn't need to see them. He knew them by heart, but
allowed his palm to roam over them for the millionth time. His torso was
puckered and lumpy from the burns. They traveled down his torso to just below
his navel. Fortunately the flames hadn't reached his genitals, and he was able
to function sexually. Not that he'd had an opportunity for a test run, but
seeing Sarah, being close to her, breathing in her special scent had made his
trousers uncomfortable on more than one occasion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

burns covered his shoulders, arms, and parts of his back. And then there was
his face. It had not been spared. His helmet had protected most of his head and

Being a dominatrix isn’t as easy as it looks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hanna has had one submissive, and he was more than
cooperative. Now she’s ready for a challenge.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Cody isn’t a typical bottom. In fact, his dominance is so
deeply ingrained that he’s spent his entire adult life as the top in every
sexual relationship he’s had. He knows that if he lets go of his control, he’ll
have to face a difficult truth about himself. Yet he can’t go on this way,
suppressing his shame and his fear, so he agrees to let his best friend’s hot,
sweet dominatrix have her way with him. Maybe if he can make himself submit to
her, he can get on with his life.<o:p></o:p></div>

When they inadvertently meet on the way to their encounter,
Cody stuns Hanna by dominating her in thirty seconds flat, without even
speaking.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, even naked, bound, and on his knees before her, he

Hanna aches to show Cody that she’s the boss. But with her
domme mentor (and her well-stocked toy chest) interfering at every step of the
way, and Hanna’s first sub needing her attention too, can she take back control
and bend Cody to her will the way he needs her to, or is he too much for her to
handle?<o:p></o:p></div>

CHAPTER 1<o:p></o:p></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Traffic had stalled in both directions, and the guy in the
opposite lane was staring down from the window of his pickup at the parting of
Hanna’s thighs as though he owned it. And that just wouldn’t do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her black leather skirt revealed a lot more than it
covered—good thing the guy wasn’t a cop, or she’d be arrested for public
nudity. She let him look for another few seconds, then switched hands on the
wheel, denying him his view.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His face subtly tensed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behind her sunglasses, she studied him. He looked familiar,
but she couldn’t place where she’d seen him. The three-day shadow on his jaw,
his work-roughened hands—those fit with the beat-up truck he drove. But the
high-end leather jacket with its turned-up collar, on a July morning when the
temperature had already crawled past eighty degrees? That didn’t make sense,
though he looked hot as hell in more ways than one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She realized she was clenching her steering wheel, and she
made herself relax and take a deep breath. She was the one in charge here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just because he was physically higher than she <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">was</span> and fully clothed, didn’t mean he had the
upper hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His lips curled—were they as firm as they looked? Oh, the
things she’d like to make those lips do to her. She became aware of the
vibration of her car’s engine through her seat and imagined him kneeling before
her, bound, begging for her touch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was more like it. She dropped one hand between her
thighs. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Slid</span> a finger up under the skirt.
Touched. Caressed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He smirked, and the tilt of his jaw suggested he <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">was imagining</span> her kneeling before him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pffft! He wished.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Traffic started to move. The guy flashed her a cocky grin
and gunned his engine. She watched the truck recede in her side mirror, feeling
like a fraud.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A tingling flush crept up her neck, and she made herself
loosen her grip on the steering wheel. A real <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">domme</span>
would have taken total and immediate control of the situation. Would have
brought the guy in line with a haughty glance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If she couldn’t keep her cool around a stranger in traffic,
how was she going to maintain any kind of control in a ménage with her <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">domme</span> mentor?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instead of driving straight to Christine’s house, she took a
long detour to give herself a chance to cool down, gather her thoughts, so she
could walk into any situation calm and assured and in control.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Half an hour later, her pulse still throbbing from her
encounter with the stranger, Hanna pulled her car up to the gate that led to an
exclusive lake-view property. The only <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">specifics,
Christine had given her,</span> were that she should wear spike <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">heels</span> and that today was <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">the first</span> of four special sessions. She’d also
hinted that there’d be a surprise Hanna <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">would</span>
never forget. She wiggled her toes inside her five-inch hot-pink-glitter
stilettos.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christine had a knack for surprises. One time she’d even
loaned Hanna her own delectable submissive husband, John, for <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">a night</span>. Her belly warmed at the memory of John
kneeling before her, hands bound behind his back with the sleeves of his white
dress shirt, begging her to let him please her. And oh, he had.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But... she couldn’t assume the ménage would be Hanna,
Christine, and John. What would be the surprise in that? So maybe the third
wouldn’t be John. Or maybe it wouldn’t even be Christine.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;">I am definitely a pantser. I find
that when I just tell the story without thinking about it, I can knock out
several thousand words at a time. The minute I stop to worry about an outline
or a proper arc, I panic and freeze up. It feels unnatural to me. Those things
are of course very important in a final draft, but I find it’s better if I just
get everything down and adjust for structure afterward. I think it’s easier to
tell a story from the heart, not the head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

How long have you been a writer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;">There has been a writer lurking
under the surface for quite some time, but it was never something I
acknowledged until recently. I wrote my first piece of General Hospital Fanfic
as a sophomore in high school. I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time. I
just knew that my play called “Opposing Forces” was inspired by my favorite
soap characters. My next big writing project was during my freshmen year at the
University of Toledo. I wrote a mystery/suspense about a girl who discovers one
of her teachers has been involved in an assassination attempt and gone into
hiding. I wish I still had copies of those stories, but they’ve been lost to
history. I became a teacher and didn’t give writing much thought until November
1, 2011. My husband challenged me to join him for NaNoWriMo and that’s how Lily
was born. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“Once in Love with Lily” is
actually a piece of dialogue from the book. From the very beginning I knew that
this line was going to be one of the final lines in the book, but I chose it as
the title because of the potential for multiple references within the story. It
sets the mood, but doesn’t necessarily give anything away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">I’m working on the sequel to Lily.
I think some fans are anxiously awaiting that one and there is a third part to
the story as well. Lily has a lot of things to sort out before we find out if she
gets her happy ending. There are still many more secrets to be revealed about
several of the characters. I also have an idea for a non-Lily contemporary
romance inspired by some a friend’s recent experience with on-line dating and “forbidden
love”. I won’t divulge too much more just yet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">Lily Josephson is a choreographer living
in LA with her long-time husband, movie mogul C.S. George. She has settled into
a comfortable, predictable, and fabulously wealthy lifestyle. Thanks to her
husband’s connections and resources and the help of modern technology, she
manages to maintain a successful career as a Hollywood choreographer, despite
the fact that she hasn’t danced in front of a live audience in over seven years
due to a tragic accident that nearly left her paralyzed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">When Lily’s brother calls seeking her
help with his fledgling Broadway show, the idea of returning to New York and
the live stage seems almost impossible. Even if she can ignore emotional and
physical scars left by the accident, she will still have to convince the cast
to put their faith in her and her untraditional methods. Unfortunately, her
no-nonsense husband, more interested in protecting his investment in the show
than protecting her feelings, doesn’t leave her any choice. Upon arrival in New
York, she runs into Tony, the one person from her past she never intended to
see again. Suddenly, the thought of professional failure pales in comparison to
dealing with the man who walked out on her and all but destroyed her over a
decade before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

intercontinental journey, filled with humor, romance, and betrayal. Old secrets
are revealed and new ones created as the two of them begin to unearth the
shards of their broken relationship. Torn between the husband who has given her
the world and the man who once was her world, Lily must weigh the importance of
faith, trust, and commitment. She must choose sides between love and passion
and moral responsibility and decide if recapturing the past is worth risking
her future.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the quay with a bottle of wine, bread, and cheese. It was dusk, and the glow of
the setting sun on the Seine was a sight to behold. The Eiffel Tower stood
proudly in the distance over his left shoulder. The grandeur of the Notre Dame
loomed in front of him just across the river. Still, Tony was more impressed by
the object of beauty to his right. He studied Lily in the waning light as she
told a story of something one her classmates had said or done. He couldn’t
quite follow the story, but not because he wasn’t interested in what she had to
say. He just happened to be more interested in her face at the moment.… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

his fingers, tucking it behind her ear and slowly tracing his way down her jaw
line with the backs of his fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
gaze met his. For the first time he saw a different look in her eyes. His hand
still under her chin, he tilted it ever so slightly upward. Her lips parted
invitingly. His moment had finally arrived. He only had one shot at making
their first kiss perfect. Depending on her reaction, it might be their only
kiss. He leaned in and kissed her gently, slowly, savoring her lips. It was
everything he could have imagined and more.…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-indent: 0in;">
Marnie Joe Sullivan had the perfect life as the daughter of a
wealthy Virginia businessman, but perfection wouldn't last. As the War Between
the States ends, she is struggling to keep her family together. After a botched
robbery, fleeing rebels leave her mother dead and Marnie at the mercy of a
killer. The year is 1867 and Virginia is still home to Confederate conspirators
and a killer that must be stopped. Loyalty and love run deep in the Sullivan
family and Marnie is no exception. As the eldest Sullivan, she feels obligated
to rescue her father from the hangman’s noose. But a jailbreak at midnight
lands her in the arms of Marshal Mason Kane.</div>

Death is never fair. Mason Kane is proof of that. The horror
of war and the death of his brother made him a drunk. Consumed by guilt and
grief, he finds himself occupying Richmond saloons and starting fights. But a
forgotten promise to his brother forces him to put down the bottle and accept a
friend’s plea for help. Mason has no idea that the scrawny, mud covered boy he
just hit is Sullivan’s daughter and he has no idea just how tempting she is
until he tries to mend her wounds. Bound by honor and promise, Mason sets out
to find a killer. What he finds is the outlaw Marnie Sullivan. A woman he can’t
live without and secrets that lie in the way.</div>

"I've always wanted to write a book." With a smile on my face I usually tell the person that all you have to do is start. Of course the very unserious "writer" will give me a list of their excuses as to why they can't. A writer who will consider it says, "How do I start." To me that is the key phrase that says, <i>I'm ready.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
You have to be motivated to write. Simply put, it takes time out of your day just as it does to go to the gym. Now you can't just sit down and usually write an entire book in one day. You have to start a little at a time. The key is to start.<br />
<br />
Motivate your writing by sitting down with a notebook and writing whatever comes to mind. Perhaps you don't want to write a book, you want to write a blog. Google blog topics and you'll be amazed at what comes up. If nothing else you'll have some writing queues to get you started. Let your brain flow for a little bit.<br />
<br />
Set out a few minutes in your day, every day to write. You don't need eight hours a day unless you intend on this being your whole career and you can financially afford that now. Ten minutes will be a great start. As your craft grows so will your motivation to continue writing regularly.<br />
<br />
Once you start the process of writing with the intent to publish or just to get started it will be like going to the gym. One day you lift five pounds. After a few weeks you lift twenty. Like I said, you're not going to become a writer in one day, okay you will, perhaps just not a published one. But on day one you wrote something. What usually happens is his motivates you to write something else the next day.<br />
<br />
If the desire is really in you it will begin to self motivate you.<br />
<br />
If you've loved writing in the past and lost sight of it this process can help you get back on track again. Continuing to carve out a little time each day will help to keep you motivated.<br />
<br />
Journal writing is equally as motivating for the creative process. Seriously, jotting down what you did, saw, felt in a day will keep that daily task minder in the back of your head. Every little bit counts. Just like running. Every step gets you to your goal.<br />

As of yesterday (1/11/15) my publishing house, 5 Prince Publishing, has been in business 4 years. What a liberating thing to see. It was over four years ago that I walked away from my former publisher who I had signed a bad contract with. (I signed over lifetime rights. Jim, my lawyer told me how bad it was after the fact. Always seek your lawyer's advice first!)<br />
<br />
Having not much more than a name and a book, I set out to learn the ins and outs of small press publishing. I published my first book (THE EXECUTIVE'S DECISION) in April of 2011.<br />
<br />
I didn't set out to be a publisher. Believe it or not, even four years ago indie publishing was thought to be a crack idea. You weren't really an author if you were publishing yourself. However, small indie houses were making their mark. The thought was I'd create a company to make me look bigger than I was. And the company was born<br />
<br />
I had no intentions of being anyone else's publisher. I even had gotten involved with a group of writers and we were opening our own "house" to publish ourselves. I'll never to this day know why I went into that, but that it lead me into the path I was suppose to take.<br />
<br />
As that house didn't take off, three of the ladies, who had books due out, needed to get them out. The phone call came to me to help. I accepted the challenge and we went out to publish their books. What happened next? Crash and Burn! I might have lost a few friends over that and I took the failure of that publishing adventure to heart for a long time. But everything in our lives is a learning process. I think the four of us might agree that was a HUGE learning experience for us all.<br />
<br />
The next call came for a woman who is now a Bestselling Author and when she writes it it's gold. Carmen DeSousa sold me on selling her. What a patient woman. She was very gracious as I built my own titles and hers. There were bumps and bruises along the way. Since she signed we published a lot of books together. Last year she took those titles to publish her own. She's going to do marvelously.<br />
<br />
Over the past four years we have crashed and burned a lot. But on the flip side, we have soared!!!! The 5 Prince Publishing catalog continues to grow. We have 26 authors and have published over 110 books in four years. I have all 22 titles which I have written in this catalog. I have been privy to watching a few of my authors take of in grand flight and make a name for themselves. Having authors come to me as an author and a publisher and asking advice is invaluable to me and a priceless gift.<br />
<br />
I've been here for awhile. I've seen the market flux. I've seen the industry circle around. I am no longer the newbie on the block.<br />
<br />
I will crash and burn again. And I will soar many more times than I crash.<br />
<br />
If the past four years have been this wonderful with all that I have learned and experienced, I can't even begin to imagine what the next four years will bring. Thank you to everyone who has participated in this journey.<br />

French-speaking area of Switzerland, in Greater Geneva, where she still
resides.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Thanks to her insatiable thirst for American and
British action films and television dramas, her English is fluent. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">She attributes to her origins her ever-peaceful
nature and her undying love for chocolate. She has a passion for art, which
also includes an interest in drawing and acting.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">

<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Danse Macabre is her third new-adult novel, and
she’s hard at work on the next titles in the Neve & Egan series.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How long have you
been a writer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel like I’ve been writing all my life, but I took it up
seriously about five or six years ago. The first novel I did still sits in my
desk drawer. The second was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Russian Dolls</i>,
the first of the Neve & Egan books.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How much time did it
take from writing your first book to having it published? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About a year, if I remember correctly. Roughly four-five
months were spent writing it, and the rest of the year went into the editing
process. That was the biggest surprise of the project, the editing. I never
thought it would take more time than writing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are you a plotter or
a pantser?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Plotter, definitely. I firmly believe in the power of the
almighty outline. I can’t start writing without knowing where the story is
going, and how it’ll end. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What was the hardest
part of writing your book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keeping up the pace. If I’m not careful, I let emotional
scenes go-on too long. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you work on one
project at a time? Or do you multi-task?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My books are part of a series, and although each can be read
as a standalone, there’s a bigger story arc playing over the first four books.
From the get-go, I had an idea of what each story would be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, I always have two books in the works at the same time.
The last stages of writing a book involve a lot of waiting around and doing
nothing (waiting on feedback to come in, waiting on the proofreader, …). It’s
at that point, that I actively start writing the next one. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When not writing, how
do you relax?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I watch a lot of TV, listen to music. In the summer, I love
going for walks in the sunny countryside.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Private investigators Alexandra Neve and Ashford
Egan are hired to succeed where the police have failed, to safely return home a
missing ballerina. With no lead to pursue and no idea who could be behind the
young woman’s kidnapping, they soon find themselves at a loss as to what to
do. </span></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">
<br />
To make matters worse, the heart of England seems to be caught in the middle of
a little Ice Age. With snow endlessly falling and Tube lines either too cramped
up to use or out of service, it is a pain to do any legwork in the huge
metropolis.<br />
<br />
Oh, and because trouble never comes alone, there may also be a serial killer on
the loose in the streets of East London...</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Mrs Doughton called the agency this morning, with
urgency in her voice, and asked for a meeting that very afternoon. She
requested Egan and I come as soon as we could, for a job of the utmost
importance. She refused to divulge more information over the phone, but my
curiosity was piqued. I promised her we would honour the appointment — besides,
we didn’t have any other clients banging down our door.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">We stop at the front door of a typical Victorian
terrace house and I press the doorbell. The door swings open, before I have a chance
to remove my finger from the button, revealing a slim woman in her forties with
short curly hair, high cheekbones and tired eyes. I note in passing she’s long
overdue for a root touch-up to hide the silver strands eating their way down
her brown hair. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">She’s wearing a wrinkled blouse and a pair of
jeans. She beckons us in, with a quick, nervous gesture. ‘Ms Neve, Mr Egan,
please come in.’ She leads us to the living room of the small house and has to
remove papers from the settee to make room for my colleague and I to sit down. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">My stomach clenches as I catch sight of the
documents: missing person posters. I only catch a glimpse of the documents, but
the word MISSING printed in bold and capitals is impossible to ignore and they
show a picture of a young girl with dark wavy hair.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Mrs Doughton drops the leaflets on a nearby table,
already filled to the brim, and turns back to face us. I nod at the notices she
just put away. ‘Your daughter, I presume.’</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">‘Yes,’ the woman says in a tired voice. She sits
down, looking both exhausted and distressed. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">‘She disappeared last weekend. I… I have no idea
where she is.’</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Egan frowns and asks, ‘Have you contacted the
police?’</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">‘Of course I have. It was the first thing I did,
Sunday morning, when I couldn’t reach her,’ she replies, her hands twisting in
her lap. ‘I called all of Isa’s friends, the other dancers, her teachers,
everyone in our family… everyone I could think of.’ </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">She takes in a breath, bites at her lower lip. ‘No
one’s seen her, not since Friday afternoon. At first I assumed she’d spent the
night at a friend’s, but when I still couldn’t reach her on Sunday… She’s never
been gone so long, and she always calls me back.’</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">She shakes her head, and worries her lip again.
‘The detectives think she ran away. I tried to tell them she wouldn’t—’ she
clenches and unclenches her hands nervously, ‘—I tried and tried to tell them
my daughter isn’t like that. No matter how it looks, she wouldn’t leave me.
It’s been just the two of us since my husband died three years ago. Isa
wouldn’t leave. She just… she wouldn’t.’ Tears fill Mrs Doughton’s eyes and she
seems ready to fall to pieces. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">Damn it, I hate jobs like this one. I force an
amiable smile, lean forward, and try to get the poor woman’s full attention, to
draw her away from the brink before she falls apart on us. ‘Tell us more about
your daughter. How old is she?’ </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">In response, Mrs Doughton reaches for one of the
missing person posters and places it in my hand, while she dabs at her eyes
with a tissue.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">I find my answer underneath the smiling face of a
young brunette with a cheery smile and her mother’s dark eyes. I read the words
aloud, for Egan’s benefit: ‘Isabella Doughton, age 24.’</span><o:p></o:p><br />

It doesn't have to be part of a series or a certain genre. If you wrote it, they will buy it.<br />
<br />
Aside from them making your paycheck, Dedicated Readers are useful in your marketing plan.<br />
<br />
A very popular marketing platform is the use of a street team. Usually street teams are formed through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The street team is formed around Dedicated Readers who like to personally interact with the author and will help to promote the author. The street team utilizes the reach of its members to promote the author usually for free. I say usually, because it's nice to recognize your street team by holding giveaways, contests, and discounts.<br />
<br />
Your street team is a great source for putting out status updates, tweets, blog posts, and for simply getting the word out about your books. Dedicated readers used in this method are usually very complimentary and loving, so they make you look good.<br />
<br />
Dedicated Readers are also a great source pool for beta readers. They love your work. They're going to love to get the chance to read you for free before the book comes out. I usually choose 3-5 random Dedicated Readers to beta read for me. Everyone gets a chance and they get very excited to have the chance.<br />
<br />
Another area they are helpful is when it comes to reviews. Sometimes, if you have enough Dedicated Readers, you'll never have to ask for a review again just to fill that dreaded 10 review minimum that some PR opportunities look for. Dedicated Readers not only run out to buy your book, they suck it down, and then turn around and review. However, it never hurts to ask them for those reviews.<br />
<br />
As an author you need Dedicated Readers. As an author, you probably are a Dedicated Reader for at least one author. So think about how you'd do anything for them.<br />
<br />
Keep being personal and friendly to your readers and your team of Dedicated Readers will continue to grow. In no time you'll have that 1,000 Dedicated Readers and every book launch will go bestseller!<br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Writing since she could pick up a pen, Railyn Stone hails
from the Tar Heel State and is a romantic at heart. She believes you can find
romance in the simplest aspects of life and enjoys letting her imagination run
wild. Trying new restaurants, listening to music, playing golf and writing
stories about ordinary people are the hobbies she cherishes most.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is your favorite
thing about being a writer?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My favorite part of being a writer is developing a character
and getting to know everything about them. What’s really cool is being able to
give the character the life you want them to have. Even when bad things happen
to them, I have the ability to make the underdog win every time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What genre(s) do you
write?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Currently, I write contemporary romance with a multicultural
twist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What was the hardest
part of writing your book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hardest part of writing my book was actually the editing
part. It was hard at first letting go and opening myself up to the critique of
my work. Once I let go, I honestly ended up loving the editing process. It’s an
incredibly creative process and when you get an editor that challenges you to
be even better and helps you enhance your work and see it from a different perspective,
it’s an amazing feeling.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are you a plotter or
a pantser?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish I could say I’m a plotter, but I’m truly a pantser.
I’ve tried plotting stories out on paper before and it just never works. I
don’t know why, but it’s almost like if I plot it out, then I lose interest in
the story because I know the ending already. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What do you hope
readers take with them after reading one of your stories?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope the reader feels something when they read my stories.
I’m not writing fables with intricate morals to the story, but I do want the
reader to get something out of it. I’ve always thought a good story has lots of
emotion in it, whether it’s the highs and lows of love or happiness from a
great friendship. I love the characters I write and I hope the readers love
them as much as I do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How long have you
been a writer? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been writing most of my life. My mom started me on it.
I’ve kept journals since I was probably about twelve years old and I started
off writing poetry. I started seriously pursuing publication about eight years
ago. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How do your family
and/or friends feel about your book or writing venture in general?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I cannot tell you how proud and excited my family is for me.
I am overwhelmed with the love and support they’ve shown me. I wasn’t sure how
people would react, but it’s been amazing. I even found out that I’m not the
only person in my family that writes. That was pretty cool to discover.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When not writing, how
do you relax?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love to play golf, once I learned to just have fun with
it. It’s become a great way to relax. Being outside on a beautiful 70 degree
day with friends and family and all you can see is a gorgeous green fairway and
Carolina blue skies; there’s nothing like it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please tell us 5
miscellaneous facts about yourself.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was born with six fingers on each hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am silly as all get out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve always secretly thought it would be cool to be a back
up singer.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’m a huge Prince fan.<o:p></o:p></div>

he was hooked. She had the most infectious laugh and he was prepared to do
whatever he needed to do to keep hearing it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“It’s just coffee.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“Look, Quinn, it was really nice of you to deliver my
tree last night, even though I know that’s not a service this tree lot actually
provides. But I just can’t go out with you.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“Hmm, so it’s not that you don’t <i>want </i>to go
out with me? I mean you said you <i>can’t </i>so, technically, I still have a
chance?” He could only hope he was making progress as her giggle turned into a
full-blown laugh. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“You are an optimist. I have to go.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“Hey, you didn’t say you weren’t interested. You just
said you can’t go out. There’s a difference.” He continued to walk alongside
her as she strode to her car. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“If you say so.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“So what does a guy have to do to get you to say
yes?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“Goodbye, Quinn.” She paused, smiling at him before she
turned to walk off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“See you later.” He grinned and she spun around to
look at him quizzically. “Hey a guy can dream can’t he?” His eyes danced and
she could only shake her head at his persistence. Quinn could still hear her
melodic laugh as she got in her SUV and pulled away. He smiled as Jack
approached him, slapping him on the back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
“Shot down huh? Maybe you should stick to females
your own age. I can see why you delivered the tree last night, but son, that’s
a real woman there, and I doubt you have a snowball’s chance in the devil’s
house with her.” His uncle laughed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
First and foremost you must have written a good book. You have to have had a good story people became absorbed in. You have to have put out a quality book. You also need to have, or need to be, following that book up with another book.<br />
<br />
Dedicated Readers are not only series followers, but if you're writing a series I think your chances of gaining Dedicated Readers is better. Simply put, people want to follow the characters they have fallen in love with --when reading your well written book.<br />
<br />
Now, if you have the book, you're wondering where do I find these readers? If I need 1000 Dedicated Readers to have success who do I get those on my first book? My advice...you work social media!<br />
<br />
A great way to meet new readers is by taking part in a blog takeover, an FB takeover, an online party...the list is endless. As an author and a publisher, I utilize Facebook parties. How does this work? Begin to follow groups on Facebook that are for authors/readers. This is a great place for people to interact with you, whom you don't know. Be active during a launch party or a celebration party. Reply to posts and get your face out there. Then look around. There are ample opportunities to have page takeovers. Some page owners do this for new authors or they include new authors in their takeovers. You can also pay for this service where a page owner will host a party for you and invite readers. This is also a great way to introduce yourself to new readers.<br />
<br />
Get reviews! Pitch your book to book reviewers. Sign up for services such as Net Galley (this is a paid service, but the reviews are not paid for.) Again, there are also services that will send your books out to reviewers, usually as part of a blog tour. This puts your book in front of people who don't know you. That is the important part of finding Dedicated Readers. When you follow up with a review make sure to thank the reviewer as well.<br />
<br />
The Dedicated Readers I interviewed all mentioned that they enjoy finding new authors to read. In this, the movement of Indie Authors, readers are finding the joy in new and fresh voices. They know that authors are reachable and therefore seek them out (and often they seek them out in online reader events.) Readers especially enjoy finding new authors whom they can follow from day one and get to know on a personal level as well. Imagine you go to a bar and follow the band that plays there every Thursday night. Then, one day they are Grammy winning! You could say, "I knew them when!" Readers are the same. They like to be part of your journey.<br />
<br />
Be active on your Facebook Author page. (If you don't have one, get one!) Be active on your Twitter account. Don't forget these gems are sitting there waiting for you to engage with their followers. Once you hit a few hundred followers you'll find that they begin to come faster, if you're working it! And once you hit that 1000 mark, they come even faster.<br />
<br />
Now just saying you have 1000 followers isn't saying you have 1000 Dedicated Readers. This is a journey that doesn't stop. You have to keep working all these angles and keep being personable. And above all else, you have to keep writing so that those Dedicated Readers have something to read and be dedicated to.<br />

I recently hired a PR firm to help me launch a new trilogy. I've already been an International Bestselling Author. I've made good money as an author. So why do this? Education!<br />
<br />
There have been many points that she's gone over that my Marketing Director, Publishing Team, and I already do. But we are certainly learning more. I <u>always</u> think there is room to learn more.<br />
<br />
One thing she pointed out was the need for what I call <b>Dedicated Readers. </b> She called them Super Fans. (I don't care for the term fans, but that's a different post.)<br />
<br />
What is a <b>Dedicated Reader</b>? They are the people who follow you daily on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest...and anywhere you might be. They are the readers who will preorder any book you write no matter what. They are your loyal base of readers that will tell the world about you and you (usually) will never let them down.<br />
<br />
We were taught that to ensure a book's success on release day, you must have 1,000 <b>Dedicated Readers</b>. Those 1,000 readers will not only rush out to buy that book, they'll tell everyone else to do the same thing.<br />
<br />
How do you get these readers? First of all you write a good book. This will help to get them hooked. However, one book is never going to do it. You must keep writing and keep publishing! Most first time authors don't have this kind of base, unless they have been contributing to blogs and Facebook parties leading up to their release.<br />
<br />
<b>Dedicated Readers</b> usually will come once an author has a small catalog of books. Something they can get excited about. Series is great for this. If you write series your chances, I think, are much better at building a <b>Dedicated Reader</b> base.<br />
<br />
I find that Twitter and Facebook have been my best marketing tools in gaining this reader base for myself. Now, mind you, nothing is free. Yes, you can have Facebook and Twitter for free. You can post until you're fingers fall off (but then you're not writing are you?) I promote my page and the campaign has been going for nearly two years now. I am climbing toward 12,000 Facebook likes on my Author Page. I don't spend much a day, but I do promote it in that way.<br />
<br />
Another way to ensure you get these <b>Dedicated Readers </b>is to interact with them. Readers want to be part of the author's life, because you have become part of theirs the moment they pick up your book. Be present. Be personable. You're there to sell a product.<br />
<br />
I asked a few of my <b>Dedicated Readers </b>what made them follow me, or other authors. What made them want to pick up my books and interact? Here is what they had to say.<br />
<br />
Lara Lovell said that she found me through one of my free books. (Another topic for another day, but a great way to get readers when you have more than one book.) I write family series and she fell in love with the family. But what drew her to me, as an author, was not only the stories that I write and capture her into, but the fact that she can find me on Facebook and ask me my I did something a certain way--and I answer her.<br />
<br />
Ava Marshall said she loves the depth of emotion I put into my books. She says its as if I write from real experience. She too often contacts me on Facebook to discuss my books and because I'm reachable we have created that bond.<br />
<br />
Lesli Godfrey said, unlike writing an author in the past, where you never knew if they got it or not, social media offers a new way for readers to connect with their favorite authors. Social media makes it easier for readers to find new talent to follow, as well.<br />
<br />
As you can see, writing a good book is KEY! Being accessible and marketing to those who read the material you write is important.<br />
<br />

You wrote a book and you were lucky enough to have it published or you published it yourself. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have done an amazing thing and it's only going to get better from here! But first you're going to sweat it out. You're going to cry, scream, and get mad as hell. Then you're going to have to go back and keep working. Why? Because if you haven't been on reality TV making a fool of yourself, you haven't won an Oscar, and you haven't been naked on the pages of some magazine...no one knows who you are!<br />
<br />
Now don't let that discourage you. But think about it. Who knows you're going to put a book out? Your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles...you get my drift. And when they all buy your book you've sold maybe 10 copies that day. And this is a sad fact.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to say that it happens to all of us. But yeah, for the most part this is how the day goes. You've made it to be something bigger in your head, but let me tell you in the nearly 4 years of publishing new authors I have only seen a couple books go bestseller on release day from unknown authors. (And all but one were in obscure categories.)<br />
<br />
On my last release day I found it most interesting that new authors were coming to me to ask about my success. 7 of the last Keller Family series books have gone bestseller before they were released. I'll tell you, that never gets old!!! But when I was a new author (mind you I had one of those publishers everyone warns you about...and she did nothing but put the book up on her website then tell me she was surprised I didn't sell any...sigh...I digress) no one knew me either. It took me busting my butt everyday to get the word out there just the slightest bit. And it took me writing and writing and writing more books. People want to say, "Oh, cool, she has another book!" The Merger was my 21st published book in 3 1/2 years. That's right, I didn't stop with just one book and hope it was going to do all the work. I kept working.<br />
<br />
I did everything I could to splash social media...in a personal way. I made friends. I connected with readers. I was personable and I think that alone wins over some votes. With the indie movement at such a height readers are finding now that there are some talented authors out there and they can connect with them. Authors who hide behind their craft and don't come out for air...I feel they are selling themselves short. Just to chat on your Facebook page once a day isn't a big deal...but it is to a reader.<br />
<br />
The small publishing house I own is a work in progress. Every author teaches us something--some good--some bad. But we learn. Our marketing department is forever in process. The marketing director is fueled by finding the right fit for all authors. But the hard and horrible fact remains. If the world doesn't know you're coming nothing is going to sell.<br />
<br />
Okay, this post is depressing! But the underlying fact is you have to keep working. Fine, book one is out there. People are going to find it. Get book two and three and four out there. Do it in a timely manner and do it well. In the not to far future someone who read one will read two and then three. They will tell their friends and so on. Book four might just launch on the bestseller list and isn't that what we all want? But remember, book one...that one is for you. Still enjoy the moment, just remember that you still have some work ahead of you, but dang it you did good!!! You wrote a book! You got it published!!! There are still people out there saying "I'd like to write a book someday." Hold your head high and thank mom for buying your book! Now...get to work. One book needs another and you ARE bestseller material!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717937928584247720.post-84474225449699137992014-12-08T00:00:00.000-07:002014-12-08T00:00:00.363-07:00Author Spotlight Interview with R.C.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What genre(s) do you
write?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I primarily write contemporary romances full of humor and I
promise to always deliver a happily ever after. You won’t find a lot of angst
in my stories but you will find strong heroines, sexy heroes and a storyline
that makes you ‘feel good’ when you’re done. I’m guilty of blurring genre lines
so you’ll generally find a little bit of chic lit / women’s fiction elements in
my stories as well. As a result, most of my stories have strong secondary
characters. For example, in ‘A Night To Remember’, the heroine’s fiancée, Jorge
Village (who happens to be gay), is a significant character with his own side
story going on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m also currently trying my hand at teen fiction at the
request of my twelve year old son. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What was the hardest
part of writing your book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not sure there is anything about ‘A Night To Remember’
that was hard to write. I had so much fun writing this storyline and it really
poured out of me. Okay…maybe it was coming up with original and sexy love
scenes. This was my sixth book so at some point it feels to me like I’m writing
the same thing over and over…even though I’m really not. I always mix it up but
certain words inevitably pop up in a love scene. The essential body parts are
the same no matter whether the positions are different! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are you a plotter or
a pantser?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It depends on the story. My romance novels are definitely
written by the seat of my pants. I usually have a high level idea of what I
want to accomplish in the story and I write chapter headlines that represent
the main gist of what I plan to get across in that chapter. Then I start
typing. As you can imagine, the end product is usually far from what I
originally envisioned. My characters tend to high-jack the storyline and go in
a direction I never could have anticipated when I started typing. I LOVE IT! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I’m also trying to write a teen fiction series for my
twelve year old son. Because the storyline takes place in a fantasy world and
it is intended to be a three book series, I find myself writing a fairly
detailed outline – at least it is detailed per my standards. There are just too
many characters and plot twists to fly by the seat of my pants on that project.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why do you think
people should choose your books over another author? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gosh, this is a tough question. Whether or not a reader
enjoys one book over another is entirely subjective. Even the best rated
authors score everywhere from five stars to one star. So I think the trick is
for readers to find authors with a writing style and storyline that speak to
them. That’s the beauty of the ‘look inside’ feature on Amazon. I encourage
readers to click on and read the sample to decide if it’s the type of book
they’ll enjoy. What I will say is that I tend to write storylines that are rich
in dialog, include a healthy dose of humor and are not full of angst. A Night
To Remember is quite steamy compared to my other stories but I promise that all
of my sex scenes are written to move the story forward.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What do you hope
readers take with them after reading one of your stories?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope my readers always take away a feeling of happiness, a
huge smile and the idea that love is always worth fighting for.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What other careers
have you had?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m a certified public account by day and writer by night.
My day job pays the bills so that is my real career. Being a writer is more of
a hobby for me, I guess. But it’s something I love to do and it brings me a lot
of joy to do it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you write under
more than one name? Why?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, I write under two pen names. My contemporary romance
pen name is R.C. Matthews and I use it because I’m in a professional day job
where I’d rather not have people I work with know that I’m a writer. I might
die of embarrassment if my boss read one of my sexy love scenes. Fun fact: My
pen name is comprised of my husband’s first name and two middle names – but I
added ‘s’ onto Matthew.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m also using a separate pen name for my teen fiction
series because it is geared towards kids twelve and older. I definitely don’t
want to confuse my readers! Fun fact: My teen fiction pen name is David N.
Sebastian which are the first names of my two boys. When you say it really fast
the ‘N’ sounds like ‘and’ – or at least I think it does! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are any of your
characters based on real people or events?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ummm…okay, you got me here. My hero is named after the first
boy I ever kissed. I chose him because we kissed on a dance floor and dancing
plays a huge role in the first five chapters of ‘A Night To Remember’. Brett
used to be Anna’s dance partner in their college ballroom dancing course. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What’s something fans
would find fascinating about you?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most people find it interesting that both of my parents are
deaf. I’m pretty sure that speaking sign language at home influenced my writing
style which is heavy on dialog and light on prose. Sign language is a very
direct language that skips past the flowery words to get to the true meaning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What books or authors
have most influenced your life?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m a die-hard Jane Austen fan. I’ve read all of her books
many, many, many times over. I’m not sure her books influence my life as much
as they influenced my writing. Her writing style is witty and always brings a
smile to my face no matter how often I read her books. I hope my storylines
give that same happy feeling to my readers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Where are you from?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m from the Metro-Detroit area and you’ll find that every
single contemporary romance novel I’ve written to date has its roots in
Metro-Detroit. In fact, ‘A Night To Remember’ takes place entirely within the
downtown city limits and Jorge Village is running for mayor. This story is a
tribute of sorts to all of the people who are trying really hard to return
Detroit to its former glory.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">When not writing, how
do you relax?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To relax I’m either reading, watching The Walking Dead (my
husband and I are die-hard fans), playing board games with my family or
watching movies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Please tell us 5
miscellaneous facts about yourself.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">I met my second husband
through an internet dating site and we’ve been happily married for over
five years. My experience with on-line dating inspired my novel ‘Date
Night’.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">It drives me crazy when
people ask me if I’m busy during tax season. I’m an auditor not a tax
preparer. But no matter how many times I try to explain it, my friends and
family don’t get it. So now I just nod my head yes when they ask.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">If I watch a movie series
first and then read the books, I find that I fall in love with both. But
if I read the books first and then watch the movie series, I tend to get
annoyed with the movie. Strange but true!<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Peanut butter is one of my
all-time favorite foods. My eldest son has a severe peanut allergy. I feel
so sorry for him because it is a horrible and scary allergy to have and he
will never know the joy of eating peanut butter.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">When I was a little girl I
really wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up. Not a ballerina or princess
or actress. And I became an accountant. What’s the matter with me? It’s a
little surprising really that I enjoy exercising by the left and right
sides of my brain.<o:p></o:p></li>

Going once...going twice...and the irresistible Anna
Karenina goes to...<br />
<br />
When Brett Montgomery is forced to attend a New Year's Eve charity event for
his law firm, he is deliciously surprised to learn that the Irresistible Women
in History Auction has been organized and hosted by the<br />
<br />
Anna Cosgrove has spent her life helping others. She is a giver, a self-sacrificing
champion of great and humanitarian causes. She's pledged to help her best
friend in his mayoral pursuits by posing as his fiancée and marrying him. In
return, he'll give her the greatest gift she could ever hope for before her
time runs out. But when her old college crush attends her charity event to
fight for her hand, and wins, she decides to give in to her own desires. For
one night, she will be his. When the morning comes and she must say goodbye,
she realizes that her one night of selfishness has cost more than she bargained
for. Her heart.<br />
<br />
The pieces are set. The stakes are high. There is more to lose than gain.
Should they risk moving forward? Or leave their hearts and wishes behind in the
place where they shared something magical, where they embraced A Night To
Remember...<o:p></o:p></div>

woman he desired more
than any other during his college years. Beautiful, sexy, and seemingly immune
to his charms, Anna was the only woman to refuse him, and the only one he
wanted to claim. Finding her again, posing as the alluring Anna Karenina, he
wins her for the night. But that's not enough. They share many of the same
passions in life and love, and Brett is determined that he'll have no other
woman by his side.<br />

Brett chuckled and reached out to twirl his finger in the dark brown lock
of hair dangling over Anna’s shoulder where it rested on the swell of her
bosom. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
“I’m rather enjoying the look <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you’re</i>
giving me. You’re so beautiful…but still trying to evade me.” He hesitated
before grabbing her left hand and placing a soft kiss on her bare fingers.
“Dare I hope this is a sign you’re single?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The man hadn’t lost his touch one
bit. </i>She licked her lips and marveled at the myriad sensations coursing
through her. Lord help her. If they were alone, she might already be ripping
open his shirt. Was she single? At this moment she was single, and she would be
until about two weeks from now when she announced her engagement to her best
friend, Jorge Village. But it was a marriage of convenience—and he was gay. So that
didn’t count until it was official, right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
“Why would it matter?” she asked with pursed lips. “I was never your
type.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
His beautifully sculpted brow shot up in question. “You’ve always been my
type—but stubbornly resisted my charms—despite all of my best moves.” He shook
his head softly. “It was cruel and unusual punishment.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
She bit her lip, recollecting every one of his moves. Such sweet torture
he had put her through. Probably along with a host of other females. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
“You tried your best moves on all the ladies,” she said, poking her
finger into his chest while a smile spread across her face. “I would’ve been
another drop in the bucket.” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; tab-stops: 21.3pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
He captured her chin between his fingers and thumb.
“That’s not fair. As I recall it was the other way around. The ladies were
making the moves on me.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Can’t hold that against
me. Being the star quarterback came with some drawbacks.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
A grin tugged at her lips. “Oh, really? Most guys are dying to have women
crawling at their feet.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.55pt;">
“Guess I’m not most guys.” He caged her between his arms, bracing his
hands against the wall. “All I ever wanted was you.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My first trilogy is on sale in Box Set form! That's right you can get all three eBooks for only .99! Now that's a DEAL!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sale from 5 Prince Publishing ends on 12/3/14, so hurry and get them while you can at this price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the trilogy that first made me a published author. It took a round about path to get published after having been contracted with a publishing house that neglected it. In the summer of 2013, however, they came home to 5 Prince Publishing--where they will stay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you'll enjoy this journey back to my author beginnings!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Cellist Sophia Burkhalter thought ten years in Europe performing with an exclusive ensemble would have made it clear that she wasn’t a candidate for her grandmother’s matchmaking. After all, she’d walked away from the man she loved, leaving him back home in Kansas City. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
David Kendal had fallen in love with Sophia, a match orchestrated by her grandmother and his aunt. However, the unexpected appearance of the daughter he never knew he had—and Sophia’s sudden, subsequent departure for Europe—thrust him into the role of single father. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Carissa Kendal has only ever wanted the best for her father. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that the very woman who broke her father’s heart might be the one to make them a real family. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Can Carissa and the women who originally played matchmaker to the duo convince them that love is worth a second try? Or will careers and past mistakes tear them apart forever before they have a chance to reconcile? </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Newly unemployed concert pianist, Thomas Samuel has spent most of his adult life escaping his upbringing. He’s become an expert at hiding his feelings and remaining professional. But when he meets cellist Carissa Kendal he’s faced with one emotion he can’t escape—love. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Carissa hadn’t expected her mother to take on the art of matchmaking and she was convinced she wasn’t very good at it. Strong minded Carissa had her work cut out for her with the emotionally scarred Thomas, but love always wins in the end—or does it? </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
By the time Thomas realizes his past does not define the man he has become it might be too late. Big venues and scenic places might just win over the heart of Carissa and take her away from him—unless he hurries and faces the man who ruined his career and convince Carissa that every performance, even love, deserves an encore. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hope Kendal has lived a perfect and peaceful life. However, she is a mystery, to herself. The one thing that would make her feel whole would be to know about her birth parents and discover who she really is.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Private investigator Trevor Jacobs has a job to do—find Hope for her biological father and get to know her without her finding out. Locating her was the easy part. Falling in love with her hadn’t been in his job description. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
When Trevor is asked by Hope to help her find her birth parents he is put into a difficult situation. If she discovers he already has all of her answers it might cost him his heart—and those answers might cost Hope her life. </div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cellist Sophia Burkhalter thought ten years in Europe
performing with an exclusive ensemble would have made it clear that she wasn’t
a candidate for her grandmother’s matchmaking. After all, she’d walked away
from the man she loved, leaving him back home in Kansas City. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">David Kendal had fallen in love with Sophia, a match
orchestrated by her grandmother and his aunt. However, the unexpected
appearance of the daughter he never knew he had—and Sophia’s sudden, subsequent
departure for Europe—thrust him into the role of single father. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carissa Kendal has only ever wanted the best for her
father. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that the very woman who broke
her father’s heart might be the one to make them a real family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can Carissa and the women who originally played matchmaker
to the duo convince them that love is worth a second try? Or will careers and
past mistakes tear them apart forever before they have a chance to reconcile? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Newly unemployed concert pianist, Thomas Samuel has spent
most of his adult life escaping his upbringing. He’s become an expert at hiding
his feelings and remaining professional. But when he meets cellist Carissa
Kendal he’s faced with one emotion he can’t escape—love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carissa hadn’t expected her mother to take on the art of
matchmaking and she was convinced she wasn’t very good at it. Strong minded
Carissa had her work cut out for her with the emotionally scarred Thomas, but
love always wins in the end—or does it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the time Thomas realizes his past does not define the
man he has become it might be too late. Big venues and scenic places might just
win over the heart of Carissa and take her away from him—unless he hurries and
faces the man who ruined his career and convince Carissa that every
performance, even love, deserves an encore. </span><br />

A single day shattered her life and set in motion, events
that would change the Sullivan family for generations.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Marnie Joe Sullivan had the perfect life as the daughter
of a wealthy Virginia businessman, but perfection wouldn't last. As the War
Between the States ends, she is struggling to keep her family together. After a
botched robbery, fleeing rebels leave her mother dead and Marnie at the mercy
of a killer. The year is 1867 and Virginia is still home to Confederate
conspirators and a killer that must be stopped. Loyalty and love run deep in
the Sullivan family and Marnie is no exception. As the eldest Sullivan, she
feels obligated to rescue her father from the hangman’s noose. But a jailbreak
at midnight lands her in the arms of Marshal Mason Kane.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Death is never fair. Mason Kane is proof of that. The
horror of war and the death of his brother made him a drunk. Consumed by guilt
and grief, he finds himself occupying Richmond saloons and starting fights. But
a forgotten promise to his brother forces him to put down the bottle and accept
a friend’s plea for help. Mason has no idea that the scrawny, mud covered boy
he just hit is Sullivan’s daughter and he has no idea just how tempting she is
until he tries to mend her wounds. Bound by honor and promise, Mason sets out
to find a killer. What he finds is the outlaw Marnie Sullivan. A woman he can’t
live without and secrets that lie in the way.</div>

Soul Awakening is a spiritual mystery/romance story
involving the discovery of reincarnation and the past lifetimes of a group of
individuals. It is a work of fiction, but was inspired by a series of actual
events that were experienced by the author or other individuals known to the
author. It involves the apparently accidental, though actually orchestrated by
Divine Intervention, meeting of three total strangers, and their ultimate
discovery that they shared previous lifetimes together. It includes episodes of
spirit communication, messages from God, past-life regression sessions,
Guardian Angels, past-life recall in the awake state, and Soul Attraction, which
is the reincarnation of groups of souls together, in more than one lifetime, in
order to deal with uncompleted Karmic connections from previous lifetimes
together.</div>

Dacque LaRose, the protagonist in the Dacque Chronicles,
is a very unusual Good Samaritan who has been selected by the Heavenly Powers
to assist Them in rescuing deserving souls in need of rescuing, no matter
whether these souls still reside in human bodies or have departed from their
human residences when their body passed away. Dacque’s soul has earned this exalted
position as God’s helper through his exemplary actions and clean living
throughout his numerous previous incarnations, as well as his current lifetime.
To assist Dacque in carrying out these noble duties he has been bestowed with
unique powers in this lifetime, powers which allow him to see and converse with
spirits as well as receive direct messages from the Heavenly Powers.</div>

Soul Rescue is the recounting of Dacque’s latest
adventure where he is directed to the local children’s hospital to locate and

Dacque LaRose, a genuine good-guy and Good Samaritan, was
accustomed to being visited by and communicating with disembodied spirits as he
carried out his occasional assignments received from the Heavenly Powers. His
latest spirit visit went miles beyond anything he would have ever imagined. The
spirit of a former acquaintance and recent murder victim joined Dacque one
morning on his favorite park bench and asked him to assist in solving his
murder as the local authorities were getting nowhere, through no fault of their
own but due to a lack of any substantial evidence in the case.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dacque had absolutely no idea how he could be of
assistance in solving a murder, but he was accustomed to receiving his Heavenly
assignments one installment at a time so he knew the steps he would be expected
to follow would appear in due course.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Dacque’s new assignment proved exciting and educational
as the spirit of the murdered acquaintance gladly explained to Dacque and his
detective friend the inner workings of the Soul Mind or subconscious mind.</div>

No character had a name of someone I new. There were no locations that were real. Certainly there were no traits that would get me in trouble. (With that said, and I digress...when you say you write romance that's the first thing people think they are reading about...your love life. UMPF!)<br />
<br />
After twenty-one books, and numerous other isn many stages of publication or editing, and four years in publishing I have gotten over this little stepping stone. It is now most fun to watch the world and stick it in my book.<br />
<br />
The very first "real thing" I ever put in a book was this passage:<br />
Finding Hope, book 3, The Matchmakers Series<br />

<i>Sweat beaded on his brow. Trevor reached for his bottle of
water. It had grown warm. He drank it down and tossed it into the backseat with
the other bottles he’d discarded there. He knew he wasn’t the ideal patron for
a car rental company.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
My poor husband. Yes, this was him once upon a time (I'm being nice.) The entire back floor of his car was piled with empty water bottles. All these years later you will find if someone's looks intrigue me, there is a character. I even had the infamous wandering eye of someone close to many of my friends. (Not as if he's looking at a hot woman...he's looking at the world while having a conversation with you! Awesome, yet annoying, character trait for a character to have.)<br />
<br />
There are so many little thing from the way someone eats to how they watch TV that can make for one fascinating character.<br />
<br />
Once you're established enough, too, people love to share little things with you and you certainly end up putting some of them in your books.<br />
<br />
I like to share when my real life mimics my craft. For instance I have a beloved Star Wars hat. Wouldn't you know that one of my characters wears that hat? I have a second degree black belt...yep a few of my female characters do too. The decor of comfortable restaurants has peeked into my books and wouldn't you know it Eduardo Keller drives my truck! Speaking of driving, it is from experience that I wrote Courtney Field, who is blind. My suite mate in college was blind and yes, she did drive my car!<br />
<br />
It's so much fun when you can make your characters live out all the fun pieces of your life and not necessarily drown them in your sorrows.<br />
<br />
Do you write in personal things? What are they? Now I want to know! :)<br />
<br />

I am the granddaughter of a US Marine. That is a proud statement. I was much older before I realized what that meant. Sure, I know that there are hundreds of thousands of men and women protecting me. I've understood that since I was a small child. What I didn't realize was the sacrifice even those who come home and lead normal lives, made and continue to make.<br />
<br />
To me he was my grandfather. Kind. Loving. Caring. Every memory I have of him only makes me smile. But you look back in history and you see that the fact he could act normal around me, that was a great gift.<br />
<br />
He enlisted during WWII. He was in a division that went in after battles and "cleaned up." I can't imagine the carnage and the devastation that man witnessed. It was long after he'd passed that we learned of how much it affected him. The nightmares he'd have. The breakdowns I don't even think my mother knew about.<br />
<br />
He had a small box with "souvenirs." To me there were bigger than life pieces of history. To him they were heart breaking reminders of what he'd seen. I remember when he passed asking for those items. I got a few of them. Others I had learned he'd thrown away because it bothered him to have them.<br />
<br />
I have friends who are missing their children be born and watching them grow so that I may sit here and write love stories. I have in-laws who have watched historic events unfold in front of them and find it strange to not sleep with a gun across their chest.<br />
<br />
A year ago my mother and I were at the high school, standing in line for a concert. In front of us was a Marine in his full uniform. I was absolutely floored when nearly every high school student that walked past him stopped and thanked him for his service. Likewise when the elderly woman walking to the back of the line with her walker reached out to him and shook his hand. She thanked him for his service and told him she and her husband had also served. To which the young Marine turned and shook their hands and thanked them.<br />
<br />
I'm not a fan of Veterans Day as a day to buy things. You won't get my business by using that term. And I wish, oh how I wish, that schools would give this day to the teachers and the kids. There are some "days off" to celebrate that are not as worthy as being thankful for the freedom you have by honoring those who gave it to you.<br />
<br />
Yes, this is what this day is for. Shake the hand of a Vet and thank them. Honor them by appreciating them.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all who serve! May God bless you always!<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sheriff Luke Atwell, a religious man, doubts his occupation after
accidentally shooting a female bystander during a gunfight. The violent
deaths of lawmen and criminals that follow heighten his questioning and he
joins the priesthood to counter evil as a man of peace. However, his
lawman instincts remain as he deals with crime in his inner-city parish.
Temporarily relieved of his priestly obligations, Atwell returns as sheriff to
the changed, now crime-ridden Kansas town to rethink his calling, joined by
unlikely reinforcements—an experienced but alcoholic deputy and a youthful
banjo player. The team, often outnumbered, confronts thieves and killers in a
series of gun battles. As Atwell fights lawlessness, he struggles with his
feelings toward a recent widow. Eventually he must decide: keep the badge or again wear the clerical
collar.</span></div>

My boys are big readers, so we’ve blown through the Percy Jackson series,
Divergent, and Hunger Games, as well. Loved them. As an adult, I’d have to say

THE EXECUTIVE'S DECISION is where we meet the Keller family. This unique, eclectic group has a bond that some families never achieve. Regan and her sister Arianna were adopted by the Kellers when they were very little. Then the Keller clan grew when Alan and Emily had Curtis. However, the Keller door was always open top people and when Carlos was orphaned by his parents deaths shortly after moving to Tennessee from Puerto Rico he then became the next Keller.<br />
