PLN Author Blog Hop: V.P. Ortiz

[image error]

If you’re new here, WELCOME! I’m V.P. Ortiz, an indie writer, amateur poet, and lover of life. I’ve been in the indie writing game since 2016 when my debut novel, Finding Paradise, debuted in the contemporary romance genre. Since then, I have been working on a few other projects, including the spin-off novella, Craving Paradise, on Wattpad. New chapters are posted every Friday and they’re FREE to read! Chapter 7 was posted in November and new chapters will be coming starting in January 2018...

Chapter 7 of Craving Paradise – Only on Wattpad!

[image error]

It’s that’s time again – Paradise Friday!

Baylee & Liam are at it again. *sigh* These two, I swear, are going to be the death of me. I love the slow burn of their story, but if they don’t heat it up soon, I’m going to go crazy!

Chapter 7: Romeo

What?! You haven’t heard of Craving Paradise or Wattpad?! Hi, you must be new here. Craving Paradise is a novella I’m writing on Wattpad and it’s FREE to read! No, seriously. Free. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Catch up from the beginning of Cravi...

The November Update on V.P. Ortiz

Just a fair warning: my November is going to be crazy. Not Gone Girl crazy. Crazy-busy. There’s so much stuff going on that by the time December rolls around, I’ll need to ask Santa for a vacation for Christmas.

November is National Novel Writing Month where us writers with excitement in our veins and no common sense in our brains decide to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Does that sound stupid? It probably is, but I did it last year and I’m determined to do it again. So, November...

Chapter 6 of Craving Paradise – Only on Wattpad!

[image error]

Happy Paradise Friday!

Chapter 6 of Craving Paradise has been posted to Wattpad. I don’t think Liam and Baylee knows what is about to hit them – figuratively and literally. Oooo… I’m so cryptic. But you’re intrigued now, right?

I’d love to hear what you think of Craving Paradise so far. Drop a comment below or on Wattpad and tell me what you think is going to happen next. Will they? Won’t they? Should they? Tell me!

Chapter 6: Two Points

“Wait! How did we get to this point?” Well, you’re in...

BOOK REVIEW: “Heathens” by Amanda Richardson

[image error]

My rating: [image error]

I’m a slacker. Procrastination is in my nature. It’s pretty much my middle name. How do I know this? Observe Exhibit A: Heathens by Amanda Richardson was published in mid-September and I’m just now posting my review. Geez. At least I’m posting it in the same year as it was released (we’re still in 2017, right?).

Not only am I a slacker, but I’m also weird (as if you haven’t figured that out by now). My humor can be a bit dark and taboo at times, and I’d say the same about my tast...

Chapter 5 of Craving Paradise – Only on Wattpad!

Happy Paradise Friday! Chapter 5 of Craving Paradise has been posted to Wattpad — woohoo! Have I ever mentioned that I love Baylee’s character? She’s so feisty. I want to be her when I grow up.

Chapter 5: Game Changer

“Wait! How did we get to this point?” Well, you’re in luck! Craving Paradise is FREE on Wattpad! That means you can start reading Baylee and Liam’s story from the beginning for less money than pretty much everything. Trust me. I did the math.

Catch up from the beginning of Cra...

BOOK REVIEW: “Bottoms Up” by Holly Renee

[image error]

My rating: [image error]

 

I was incredibly lucky to have scored an ARC of Bottoms Up from Holly Renee and this fun story with a gorgeous average-size (not plus-size; let’s be honest, she’s what most of us look like) on the cover did not disappoint.

It’s hard to find a heroine that doesn’t fit “the mold.” You know what I’m talking about — tall, skinny, perfect hair, awesome boobs. But then comes along Kennedy Hayes, whose first encounter with the new sexy neighbor, Tucker, comes at the expense of her Spa...
