What if?

What if you met Mr. Right too young?

What if you both screwed up your relationship?

What if you finally got your life back together…only to have it completely thrown off course again?

Emily can answer ALL of those questions and more.

I put myself in a time out

And it was glorious!

I do my best, and most, work in the summer. For some reason, I can sit down and stay up late and churn out books. Tidal Patterns was written and edited starting in July and finishing up at the beginning of this month. Writing and editing a novel in its entirety that quickly produces my best work. If I take time to stop and analyze every word as I’m typing, I’d never finish (that happened a lot in the initial drafts of both Anchored in the Bay and Tiny Island Summer which are today very different and much better). But, after the marathon is over, I’m mentally spent.

I had ideas swirling around for my next books but I needed a definite break to relax and recharge. My hubs took me away on a wonderful beach vacation where I plotted the next 2 1/2 books in the True North series but that was all I accomplished. Being a stay at home mom means my free time is precious, but it also means that if I don’t have a packed, busy day, I struggle to use my time effectively. The phrase “if you want something done, give it to a busy person” is very apt.

So, I’m back, I’ve vacuumed, done all the laundry, mopped the floors, and am officially back in #amwriting mode.

Today is also the last day to enter the #SYTYCW15 contest on Wattpad. If you are reading this and aren’t sure if you should enter or not, do it. I’m telling you, the romance community is amazing. Jump in, virtually meet some supportive authors, and let your craft develop. No matter where you finish or how you fare, you will be better for joining this group!

Confession

If it hasn’t been apparent in Anchored in the Bay or Tiny Island Summer, then let me come out and say it. I’m in love with Eric. He never stood a chance with Darcy, but I think he’s more than ready for his own happy ending. Or at least a chance at one.

But what if he’s already met ‘the one,’ but doesn’t remember her?  Will she give him another shot?

I started my first draft for Eric’s story On the Rocks in February. But it’s been a busy summer with publishing Anchored in the BayTiny Island Summer being selected for Kindle Press, and working on Tidal Patterns for the #SYTYCW15 contest.

I’m finally getting back to Eric and am writing his story as we speak. I’ll keep you posted but am planning to release Eric’s story next spring (hopefully to be followed by Ryan’s in the summer).

Thanks for reading!

PSST! Did you know? Tiny Island Summer is available now on Amazon.com
