Win a Signed Hardcover of Single-Minded! It’s a fantastic beach read if you love contemporary romance (aka chick lit)!

Win Single-Minded by Lisa Daily!
This funny romance novel is a made-for-the- beach read (or wish you were at the beach read…)

Welcome to a very special Free Book Friday!! Today we’re giving away my very own romantic comedy Single-Minded !

Advice for my Adolescent Self

My adolescent self was never wanting for advice.

I have always had an exact replica of myself with 25 years more experience whispering in my ear at every juncture. Her name is Jan, and she is my mother.

She knew what I was up to before I’d fully formed a plan for mischief. She encouraged me to be kind when I playfully tortured teenage boys for sport. And she believed that I could do anything I set my mind to.

She still does.

When I think about the mistakes I made, the things I wished I’d tried harder at, or practiced more, I realize I wouldn’t change a thing.

Every misstep, every flat-out moronic endeavor, every victory, every chance I’ve ever taken has brought me to here.

If I changed one thing, I might change my path, my life might go in a different direction.

The death of my brother, every broken heart, every brave moment, every kiss, every step, every friend, has made me who I am, has given me the most extraordinary life anyone could hope for.

If I could give any advice to my adolescent self, it would be to enjoy the ride.

And give mom a hug.

Hey everybody!

Thanks so much for checking out my author writing space tour! It’s super important to have a writing space that inspires you — I confess, I love to watch the author office tour videos on authortube and thought maybe I wasn’t the only one. (Or maybe I’m just nosy… haha… job hazard.)

Anyway, check out my writing space… dig through my desk drawers and enjoy my (questionable) design choices — and let me know what you think!

xo,
