"For Richer for Poorer" (New Mini Novel, Coming this Week)


I hope you had a great weekend. I put in some much-needed training for the upcoming 1/2 marathon in Jamaica this December. Trying to beat my best 3:02 fast-walking time. 

Managed to get some writing done this weekend but still cranking on next release, coming out this week: For Richer for Poorer. Take a sneak peak at romance novella cover below.  
A little more work on this end, then early bed, re: early rise to get back to Hamilton Steele, a sexy real estate developer looking for love in Harper's Grove, a sleepy southern town on the outskirts of Atlanta. A downward spiral of the housing market and a twist of fate lands him back in the handyman occupation he thought he'd seen the last of years ago -- and on the steps of Miranda Colbert. Miranda's heart is closed to anything resembling love after her last relationship. The only thing on her mind is getting Colbert and Company back on its feet and getting the little bungalow that's falling down around her up to par -- until she opens the door to her new handyman, Hamilton Steele.  

Have a super week! Cassandra

Head-first into another new title – eyes fried. Friday is upload day ...

Hi everyone. I hope your week is off to a great start. Head-first into another new title – eyes fried.  Friday is upload day (small business book).

NEXT week starts a new fiction mini-novel ... “For Richer or Poorer” ... JUUUUUICY! But this week, non-fiction will rule my days. 

Have tabled my "New Country -- The Lawtons" series for couple of months until I crank out more biz titles and mini romance novels. See "New Country" synopsis ...  http://www.shewrites.com/profiles/blogs/ahhh-loving-the-morning-re-working-on-new-book-series-of-novellas ...  that first one will take some time... lot of research ... it's callin' me, though ... “soon come, soon come,” as my Negril friends would say ... )

Little more work, then dinner, Anderson Cooper, and bed. Plumb pooped! Have a great week.

Having coffee, uploading new book ...


Good Saturday morning. I’m having coffee, uploading new book to Barnes and Noble and to my Stone Cottage Books e-store. The property preservation directory went live on Amazon yesterday. **NEW** Release -- Small Business:  2013-2014 Master List of Property Preservation Companies Directory, 3rd Edition ... http://www.amazon.com/2013-2014-Preservation-Companies-Directory-ebook/dp/B00E1SP2N2/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374320516&sr=1-8

The weekend will be full of marketing new book and yard work. I've ssssoooooo neglected my yard with this new writing schedule (write or update one title per week). Getting to the yard SOMEHOW over next two days.  (Overjoyed that my crepe myrtles are starting to bloom … pink/pretty!) 

Okay, let me get a second cup of coffee and get back to it -- because Monday starts a new title.

Enjoy your weekend!

New week, new book, but first ... (not enough hours in the day, but loving every second) ...

Hi everyone. I hope your Monday is off to a great start. This week, I start updating one of my non-fiction titles. The new "2013-2014 Master List of Property Preservation Companies Directory, 3rd Edition," will be released July 21st. It will be a bear to update, but I'm ready for the challenge. Long nights ahead this week.  But first, I had to get out another quick press release (it was on my To Do list) promoting Texan, Part 2. See press release below:

________

New Short, Romantic Story Release: PART 2, The Beginning of Forever, Loving a Texan from New Orleans Series

Cassandra Black has released the second novella in the "Loving a Texan from New Orleans" series, "Part 2: The Beginning of Forever." This short, romantic story series focuses on one woman’s fear of loving again.

Romance Novel Synopsis: She hadn't planned on falling in love on the trip to visit her daughter at Diesel Air Force Base. But there he was, like a ray of sunshine, in a tiny Texas military town. Hunter Wolf awakened feelings in Savannah Castillo she thought were dead. But could she take a chance, unafraid, after both their pasts?

Fear of Love: Seven Fears and Ways to Overcome Them

According to a Psychology Today editorial, Afraid to Love: Seven Fears and Ways to Overcome Them, individuals are scared to love for a myriad of reason. The editorial discusses seven reasons why an individual may be afraid to embrace another with their heart and ways to overcome those hurdles. See seven common fears below:

  • fear of disapproval
  • afraid of commitment
  • being scared of loss
  • distress about disappointing people
  • apprehension about being "found out"
  • frightful of being consumed
  • anxiety about getting trapped
Cassandra states her Texas romance novel's main characters, Savannah and Hunter, seek to overcome some of the emotions reviewed in the Psychology Today editorial.

Where to Find Novella

Readers can find the second book in the short, romantic story series, "Loving a Texan from New Orleans, Part 2: The Beginning of Forever", in both NOOK (Barnes and Noble, http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/loving-a-texan-from-new-orleans-part-2-cassandra-black/1116031630?ean=2940148713647) and Kindle (Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Loving-Orleans-Beginning-Forever-ebook/dp/B00DWJPXJO/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373903468&sr=1-4).


About the Author of the Mini-novel Series

A writer and publisher, Cassandra Black resides in the Atlanta, Georgia area. However, she travels frequently to the Caribbean for inspiration and to work on a little cottage near the sea.

 
Mini-novel Format

According to Cassandra, "My romance novels are written primarily for women, and the electronic, mini-book format fits how we live today. For example, this current Texas romance novel's page count is approximately 85 pages.  As mothers, wives, and career women, we barely have time to breathe, more or less time to sit down with a 400-page book, on a regular basis. My mini-books can be quickly read on a lunch break, on the subway or bus, at the airport, doctor's office, anywhere readers have time to enjoy a quick romance novel.  

Amber Creek Pen Name

Cassandra Black has authored several books under her own name as well as a pen name (Amber Creek). She is also the author of several real estate and small business publications available through Stone Cottage Books.

Today is full of article marketing for sequel to "Texan" Part 2 ...


I hope you're having a nice Sunday. Today is full of article marketing for sequel to "Texan" Part 2 novella:  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/loving-a-texan-from-new-orleans-part-2-cassandra-black/1116031630?ean=2940148713647.  
 
Tomorrow starts a new week, new book (well ... updating of an existing non-fiction title). I just started this new pace -- one title per week. God be with me ...
 
Last week, each day, was full -- three "after-midnight" days. Funny, when you're doing what you're SUPPOSED to be doing, effectively, there's not much time for anything else. I remember this pace when I started my first biz in NYC as a single mom. Back in driver's seat, love it!

Enjoy the rest of your day. Back to article marketing.
