Book Tour Guest Post: How Did I Start Writing Romance?
Evening
From a wet and rainy London! It’s Saturday night, I’m staying in it’s too rainy, and nope I’m not working on a chapter for book #3. As guilty as I feel, I’m taking the night off. I will write a letter to my girlfriend in Paris instead- in French. I’ve set (another) goal, to try and increase my fluency in French, to the next level by summer 2017. Here goes!
But let me get to the point of this post…. A Stranger in France is on tour, here is a guest post I done on one stop, “how I started writing within the romance genre.” You can read it by clicking here over on Editor Charlene’s Blog.
Have a good weekend all!

Author Interview – Kim Knight – A Stranger In France (A Romantic Suspense Novel)
I enjoyed this author interview, was a lot of fun.
toofulltowrite (I've started so I'll finish)
Hey there everyone and welcome to the start of a brand new shiny week!
Tonight on the Author Interview series, for your pleasure we have author Kim Knight over here and she talks about her debut romantic suspense novel, along with what motivates her to write.
Time to take a trip to Paris from the comfort of your own home, here we go.
Hi there Kim, thank you for chatting with us today, we’re really excited to hear more about your new book and writing techniques.
Let’s start with your debut novel “A Stranger In France”. You mention that it is a romantic suspense adventure about two strangers who meet by chance encounter in France. Please tell us more about how the relationship unfolds and what sort of challenges our would-be lovers are going to have to face if they are going to wind up being together forever?
Hello, thanks…

What’s Going On?…. #amwriting #writerslife
No, I don’t mean the lyrics to Marvin Gaye’s classic song I mean with me? I know, I know it has been a while since I’ve logged into WordPress, but here I am. Firstly thank you and welcome to all new followers… I see you, thanks for keeping me company.
Well, it is freezing here in London, but I’ve done enough running up and down this week to keep warm(ish). Last week my book tour for A Stranger in France kicked off, and I’ve done a couple of interviews as part of the tour. There’s also a giveaway on Goodreads too. I will blog the interview links this week coming, when they are published. They were fun to do.
Friday night, I did a once over/last minute edits on my next book published next week I believe it will be, or the latest the week after (Not Just for Christmas). You can, read the first 2.5 chapters for free by clicking here. It’s a feel good romantic novella set in my home town London. Two characters that oppose each other wind up in love, set on the back drop of Christmas- very heartwarming. I hope you enjoy. I will of course let you know the exact date it will drop on Amazon.
The short story I’ve wrote for a serial novel, along side nineteen other authors, to feature in a book called Code Redhead, is complete. I enjoyed writing that story, it’s a bit of a erotic romance story I guess, a little steamy. I called it One Night in London. You can find out more about that writing project by clicking here. The book will be published in February 2017.
My progress with Novel Writing Month started if you read that blog. The challenge is two chapters per week from next week as a goal to complete. I have agreed a date to submit my work to a publisher who requested to see the full manuscript. I’m super proud of myself and excited, to have a positive response after they read the first three chapters. I need to get my ass into gear though. I will also post a chapter preview of this third book, a romantic thriller soon. This is my current focus writing wise.
Personally, last week I made some life changing decisions. I’m a full- time working mum, my son turns three next week, and to be honest I think life will be more manageable if I worked part- time. Don’t take this as I’m rolling in money far from it, but I weighed up a few things. Any woman out there who is a mum knows what I am talking about, when I say I’d love more time with my boy and a better work life balance. On top of this I have a number of personal reasons that part-time working would be better for us. So I put in a request to my boss to reduce my working hours late last night. I mulled over my decisions and e-mail to the boss after doing the maths. After a bottle of red wine ( yes a bottle!) I am convinced this is the way forward. On the flip side, it means more time to write! And purse my real dream, as well as things working out for the better of my family. I hope he sees my points and allows the reduction.
So that’s why I have been absent, I’ve been writing, doing some interviews, working my ass off in the day job, and trying to keep warm. I will be back next week with some writing prompts and short stories. I have withdrawal symptoms LOL, it’s been a week since I’ve participated.
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and you’re refreshed ready for the new working week.
Enjoy the last few hours of Sunday.

National Novel Writing Month- I’ve Signed Up… Umm Humm #amwriting #nanowrimo
Last week I found out about NNWM or nanowrimo via another blogger. I just got around to checking out their website. I’ve done it, I signed up just now. Since I have a personal goal to write sixteen chapters in about eight weeks, by the end of December. (I’ve completed three of sixteen already, to be far), I thought what the hell, let’s give it a go. I may as well sign up with millions of other writers around the world, and see if I can pen 50,000 words in the month of November. I’m crazy! But rather up for the challenge and motivated by what I’m writing. I feel fully engaged, here goes.
I just updated my word count on NNWM, based on their assumption I started writing on the 1st November and I have just over 7,000 words down, they calculated just over 1,000 words a day I’ve wrote on average, over the seven days of November. According to NNWM’s stats with this figure, this means I will finish by the 18th December. I can live with that, to be honest as long as I’m done by the end of 2016, I can use January 2017 for submission prep I don’t mind. It would be amazing if I actually completed it (all), in the next twenty four days…. I have a rough word count of about 50-65K in mind. Again according to the stats that came back from NNWM, if I write just 1,700 words a day for the next twenty four days I’d complete 50,000 by the end of November. Ummm humm sounds good.
Who has signed up? Or is thinking of it? Let me know. Need a writing buddy??
Write 16 Chapters in 8 Weeks Can I do It?- Meeting Publisher’s Deadlines #amwriting #romance #thriller #2017
