It's
been awhile so I'm going to try to catch you up on my activities!
First, my ‘Romance Over 50’ - One
Summer Night - has done extremely well and feedback has been awesome.
One reader wrote:
“I
read your latest in one long sitting. Totally grabbed me! I love that you were
able to move into another genre for the Over 50 readers. As always blown away
by your writing: so fluid and the dialogue so realistic. Loved Jason.
Looking forward to more.”

Next, I was
invited to facilitated a book club last week using "She's Not
You" my first novel.

I made
it more about the writing process and everything that goes into writing a book –
learning to write well, taking classes, doing research and knowing your
genre. The questions from the group were
thoughtful and relevant to writing. We talked about where I find my ideas. I
mentioned that I was working on a fun story right now – about a woman pirate. They loved that idea so I guess I better put
some time and effort into that. They had questions about that era and where it
was set – great questions.
Then,
my sequel to “She’s Not You” – “Treat Me Nice” – another Elvis title, has
also been well received.
“The author
certainly can capture your attention and keep your interest. Her words create a
visual image throughout as if you were really in the characters shoes. It’s the
second In the series and when your done you know you want more and you know
there will be more. Even if you haven’t
read her earlier book with these characters (She’s Not You) you can easily jump
into this one and connect . The authors plot creativity and ability to
translate into words amazes me. I couldn’t put the book down. If I didn’t need
sleep and a short respite for my eyes I probably would have finished it in one
day rather than 1 1/2. Can hardly wait to hear there will be another book from
this author soon.”
I have another book club coming up in August on the sequel so
excited about that.
