Fitting Your Author Life Into Your Real Life

Hi everyone. I hope you're having a great week. As a writer, it can be challenging to continue producing when "life calls."  I found this article by Arielle Ford helpful and wanted to share it with you in case you're a writer, too. (Btw, Arielle Ford has launched the careers of many NY Times bestselling authors.)

See Fitting Your Author Life Into Your Real Life at the Huffington Post link  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arielle-ford/fitting-your-author-life-_b_1199107.html.

Okay, let me get my nose back to the romance writing grindstone -- after a second cuppa Joe! Enjoy the rest of your day.

**Latest ROMANCE Release** For Richer For Poorer 



INTRODUCTION:

Hamilton Steele, a sexy real estate developer, was looking for love in Harper's Grove, a sleepy town on the outskirts of Atlanta. A downward spiral of the housing market, and a twist of fate, landed him back in the handyman occupation he thought he'd seen the last of -- and onto the steps of Miranda Colbert. 

Miranda's heart was closed to anything resembling love, especially after her last fiasco of a relationship. The only thing on her mind was getting Colbert and Company back on its feet and getting the little bungalow falling down around her up to par -- until she opened the door to her new handyman. 

EXCERPT:

"Hi, ma'am," he said in a sexy voice with a slight southern twang. "I'm Hamilton. Hamilton Steele." She was a beautiful woman. A perfume he couldn't quite place teased his senses. Hamilton reached out to shake her hand. Dainty, soft. He knew if he squeezed too hard he would hurt her. His eyes lingered on the small, delicate features of her caramel-colored face. The fullness of her lips were irresistible, and the slender, silver chain around her neck traveled down to a pert bosom that was void of a brassiere. Something about her, almost like a magnet, made him want to pull her into his arms and ravish her with his lips. 

Miranda's heart raced as she surveyed the creature in front of her. Jeans, white t-shirt, and construction boots were made for men like the one standing on her porch. Sexiness oozed from him as he stood there, devouring her with his eyes.

15 Signs You're In Love

15 Signs You're In Love

Hi everyone. I hope your day is going well. I'm doing some book marketing and adding more items to my travel suitcases. (In a couple of weeks I'll be in the air headed to Carib for fall/winter. Can't wait to really dive into romance writing in Negril.) Writing mini love stories has prompted me to dig into everything "romance." Here's an interesting piece you might enjoy -- or want to pass along to a friend. Think you may be in love?  See 15 Signs You're In Love for some good indicators:  http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/15-signs-youre-in-love/.  

 Back to a lil' more packing and marketing before lunch and my search for a good romance movie. 
Have a great week!
