Plotting…

Lately, I’ve been repeating myself. I’ll be running errands with my kids and will start thinking up a new blog post. I have the entire thing in my mind and when I sit down to write it, I look through my old posts and realize…I’ve already said it!

What am I saying? THANK YOU.  Thank you for reading my books, for following me on twitter, for finding me here, and for your support. This year, I took a chance on myself. With my fantasy football winnings, I started this website, hired a freelance editor, and published my first book. I released the book to very little fanfare, unsure of myself. But over the summer, with the support of some amazing people in the romance community and with a book picked up for Kindle Press (coming next week!), my confidence has grown.

My success looks very different from someone else’s. And that’s okay. Neither are negated because they aren’t equal. I’m continuing to learn and grow as an author and am excited for whatever comes next.

I had a goal to finish (this round of) edits and post my entry into this year’s #SYTYCW15 contest by Saturday. I beat that goal, getting it up last weekend, and have had a bit of unexpected downtime. I’m plotting out the final two books in the True North series and am drafting a “between the books” novella following the heroines of Anchored in the Bay and Tiny Island Summer.

Most authors identify themselves as either a plotter or a pantser (flying by the seat of your pants and making it up as you go). I’m a combination of the two, but like mapping out the next stories so I’m not repeating myself. These are fun stories. With the novella, you’ll get a glimpse into some of my favorite characters after their HEA (happily ever after). And…if you were reading the epilogue to Anchored in the Bay carefully, you’ll have realized that Francois is leaving…

Before I get ahead of myself (still have to write those books), check out Tidal Patterns it’s a sweet romance I’ve entered for the Heartwarming line at Harlequin. The entire book is up on Wattpad for free.  You can download an app and read this on your phone too.

Looking for a great read?

Tucked Away by Jennie Marts

If you love hot cowboys, small towns, and beautiful country, be sure to check this one out.

Back Cover Blurb: Sometimes you find what you need in unlikely places…

Charlie Ryan’s cheating fiancé left her with a broken heart and even broker bank account. She’s hit rock bottom, but everything is about to change. Suddenly, she’s inherited a Montana farm named Tucked Away from a grandmother she never knew existed. A fresh start is just what she needs – and no men in her future this time, even if the local vet is as hot as a Montana summer.

Zack Cooper is content with his simple life. Running his veterinary practice and raising his daughter are enough to keep him busy, and he doesn’t need a high-maintenance city girl like his ex who plans to sell her grandma’s ranch and split faster than a setting sun. So why can’t he stop thinking about Charlie and her hot-pink cowboy boots…and the way her eyes say she wants to stay while her lips tease him with plans of leaving?

Just when both start to believe love might be worth the risk…one night will change everything.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m under no obligation to post the books I review on my website, but when I find a “keeper” I want to share with you!

Tucked Away is a heartwarming (and HOT) story of finding home where (and when) you least expect it. Jennie Marts’ is an excellent storyteller and transports the reader to the beautiful Montana farm and small town. Unexpected twists kept the story fresh and fun. Crossing my fingers that a certain diner owner gets her own book.

Tidal Patterns

Tidal Patterns is officially up on Wattpad for the #SYTYCW15 contest.

Come check it out! Vote, leave a comment, and be sure to stick around for the other entries. Your next favorite author just might be among this year’s entries.

Back cover blurb:  Elizabeth Shaw is Jekyll Island’s preeminent, and only, wedding planner. She’s sure she’ll land the newly created role overseeing events on the entire island. Then everything will be perfect and she won’t be forced to leave.

Mark Edwards doesn’t need any more stress. He’s ready to slow down and enjoy the tiny beach town he calls home. His boss pushes him to apply for the new management position and he agrees. After a decade in catering, he’s sure he can do this job in his sleep, even if it is events.

Neither counted on the other getting in the way.
