Snippet Sunday - My untitled WIP 31/08/2014

~~~It's time for a new story ... as yet untitled.
Meet Jeri.
Jeri's lives in Hobart where she owns a gallery. Since her divorce many years ago, she's finally ready to "be" with a man again. But finding the right one seems to be harder than she thought. ~~~

Olivia paled, and momentarily some guilt crept up inside Jeri. Yet, only for a brief moment.
“I’ll get him to apologise. I’m sure he’s got a hundred percent solid excuse.”
Jeri waved her hand in resignation. “Don’t bother. I’m over it.”
“Je...

May I introduce: Sara Donovan "Love By Numbers"

 Love By Numbersby Sara Donovan 
Reading Sara's bio, I felt like picking up the phone and tell her my teacher failed me in that English! And I still turned out to be okay. 

Anyway, I love the blurb of "Love By Numbers" and the sound of the story, so my obvious question is: 1 - How did you come up with the idea for "Love by Numbers"?


I read a lot of non-fiction books about neuroscience in my day job which led to a fascination with the ‘brain in love’. I had a personal interest as...

“Don’t’ give me this attitude, honey. Your super boy didn’t show up, is all.”

Olivia’s eyebrows shot up. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me.” Jeri walked past her friend’s daughter. “Your sex-on-legs loverboy hid like a frightened turtle.”
Olivia’s...

May I introduce: Mae Archer "Hollywood Dreams"

 
Hollywood Dreamsby Mae Archer
We're all a little bit hooked on Hollywood, the good as well as the not so good. "Hollywood Dreams" sounds like a great read, I love the blurb!



1 - The main character in "Hollywood Dreams" becomes a method actor to get a "the part of a lifetime". How did you come up with the idea and how much research went into getting the "method acting" right?
The idea of Hollywood Dreams came with the image of a method actor who is practicing for his next pa...

Thank you all for visiting and commenting the last few weeks as I introduced you to my two characters of the upcoming release "Fresh Beginnings".
It's time for a new story ... as yet untitled.
Meet Jeri. ~~~


Jeri cursed at her friend’s promise. She unlocked the car and threw her bag onto the passenger seat before sliding behind the steering wheel. Cranking up the radio, the music was loud enough to ignore the outside noises. She leaned back and closed her eyes, considering forgetting ab...

Review: Bella Andre "Never too Hot" - #Review #BellaAndre #HotShots

Publisher: Bantam

ISBN:  978-0440245025

My rating: 3.5/5

A TOUCH IGNITES. A FIRE BURNS.

Deep in the cool green mountains of the Adirondacks, wounded firefighter Connor MacKenzie has come to rebuild the 100-year-old MacKenzie family cabin – and to be alone. A horrific blaze has left him scarred inside and out and certain of two things: He’ll get back on his hotshot crew no matter what it takes, and any woman who ventures too close will not stay long.
Ginger Sinclai...

May I introduce: Elizabeth M Darcy "Her Norman Conquest"

 Her Norman Conquestby Elizabeth M Darcy

Another author who is now calling Australia home. Elizabeth "enjoys the thrill of writing romance and loves all things magical" and winning the 2007 RWA Clayton's Best Kiss Award, I'd say her books are bound to be a very good read.


1 - What draws your interest to historical romance?My qualifications are in English history and English literature so I've always been drawn to history and writing. I love visiting old buildings and watching historical se...
