Nancy Lee Badger Presents Author Charmaine Gordon
Author Charmaine GordonEveryone has dreams and everyone has a story waiting to be written. Personally, before I ever started to write, I was an actor loving every word the playwright wrote; never did I dream of paraphrasing like so many actors, making up sentences never written and changing the meaning. Definitely a no-no in show business. So I say to all of you out there, if I, a woman with no experience in writing, can write a bunch of books, find a publisher who works with me and teaches me the ropes of promoting etc, why can’t you? The answer is, my friends, you can. Take an idea rattling around in that smart head and just do it. Don’t censor yourself. Write three pages. Reread and then see if your work needs a tweak or two. Sound easy? It’s not but it’s a start. One more thing, folks. Be sure to open your veins and don’t be afraid to let emotions spread on to the story. Make it real. Let it come alive.My latest release is No Time for Green Bananas,publisher Vanilla Heart. Why the funny title, you might ask? I read a quote by an unknown source:
“Green bananas take time to ripen. Do not wait. There may not be a tomorrow.”
Sounds grim, doesn’t it? But the story is fun, full of twists and turns, as an older woman and younger man fall in love.Featured in USAToday in NovemberNo Time for Green Bananas by Charmaine Gordon (Vanilla Heart Publishing). Book four in series The Beginning…Not the End. Celeste Hamlin, the 75-year-old widow CEO of O.U.R. Airlines specializing in chartered vacations, has a goal... She needs to once more conquer the six mountains in the Saranac Lake region before deciding what to do with the rest of her life. Sixty-two year old Professor Paul Harris, is on sabbatical to hike and relax. When he meets the dynamic Celeste, he recalls the last words his wife said before she passed. "Find another love and begin again." What happens next between an older woman and younger man is a story of gentle passion and discovery of The Beginning... Not The End.

More about the Author
Charmaine Gordon writes books about women who Survive and Thrive. Her motto is take one step and then another to leave your past behind and begin again. Six books and several short stories in three years, she’s always at work on the next story. The books include To Be Continued, Starting Over, Now What?, Reconstructing Charlie, Sin of Omission and The Catch, just released. And now I’ve written a series of Mature Romance/Suspense long/short stories under the umbrella title The Beginning. ..Not The End. Think Sexy Seniors, fifty five +, baby boomers no longer babies. Instant Grandpa, Young at Heart, Before the Final Curtain and No Time for Green Bananas.
“I didn’t realize at the time while working as an actor in NYC, I’d become a sponge soaking up dialogue, setting, and stage directions. I learned many tools of writing during the years watching directors like Mike Nichols and actors including Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins, and Billy Crystal. And would you believe, I was Geraldine Ferraro’s stand-in leg model, my first job giving me entrée into all the Unions needed to work. When the sweet time ended, I began another career and creative juices flowed.”

7 Fun Ways to Put the 'Magic' Back in Writing
by Adrienne deWolfe
Bestselling Author
Please welcome my guest, Adrienne deWolfe, who I have asked to share some tips for making YOU a better writer. Welcome, Adrienne!
When I’m connected with my Writing Muse, all is “write” with the world. My characters surprise me; cliff hangers magically appear; and sassy one-liners occur in the dialogue.
If you would like to experience the same creative Nirvana, I encourage you to try the exercises below.
Important: Don’t wait until writer’s block sets in or the Grim Reaper of Deadlines is stalking you. Experiment with these creative ideas on a good writing day. Who knows? Having a little fun just might inspire you to write better than ever!
#1. Tired of losing the staring match with your cursor? (Oh, yeah.) Pack up your Writing Muse and take her on an official play date. Go to Paint Ball. Or a museum. Or a treehouse (my personal favorite.) Dress like a Storm Trooper. Act like a 7-year-old. Give yourself permission to color outside the lines. (Note to First-Time Paint Ballers: Drop by the pharmacy on the way home. Buy a tube of Ben Gay.)#2. Lonely for conversation? (From real people?) Visit a busy restaurant at lunch time. Take your critique partner with you. Speak about your characters as if they’re business acquaintances. Brainstorm how to kill one off. Do this REALLY LOUD. Enjoy the horrified stares! #3. Liberate your subconscious! Wash the dishes. Weed the garden. Vacuum the air ducts. The point is to distract your conscious mind from your problem by engaging in some menial task. I cannot tell you how many times a brilliant idea has popped into my mind while I’m scraping fried eggs from the bottom of a skillet!
#4. Buy a hoola hoop. (Betcha know where this one’s going, huh?) Okay, so you’re lousy at hula. Do jumping jacks instead. They’re free. I promise you, the shot of joy-juice (endorphins) that you get from aerobic activity will do wonders for your creativity. (Extra Perk: you’ll work off the sugar from the caffeinated beverages that you’ve been guzzling – so you can guzzle even MORE!)
#5. Try a different POV to solve your writing dilemma. Write as the banana on the kitchen counter. Transport your mind into a three-year-old child’s. What’s it like to stare at the knees of your heroine all day? Pick a favorite fictional character. How would Scooby Doo save the day? Rhett Butler? Bella Swann? (By the way, if these cheesy POV exercises lead you to write the next bestselling vampire novel, be sure to cut me in on the royalties.)
#6. Ever hear the saying, “Books aren’t written, they’re re-written?” (Yeah. That advice used to annoy me, too.) The next time you’re faced with a re-write and your Inner Child is pitching a fit, give in to the tantrum. Throw Nerf balls at the wall. Jump in the swimming pool and yell under water. Torch the objectionable critique in a appropriately fire-safe container. (It’s truly gratifying to watch bad reviews burn – uh, so I’ve been told.) Now that your brain’s clear, go write something!
#7. Still stumped? Dear me. (Ever consider a brain transplant?) For those of you who’ve reached Def Con 5 (translation: a chocolate fondue, a bottle of wine, and a full-body massage couldn’t wrangle one measly word out of you), try some positive reinforcement. Every time you do finish a scene, stuff a $1.00 bill inside a mason jar. If you’re independently wealthy, stuff $10 inside the jar. By the time your manuscript is finished, you’ll have a sizable nest egg. Use that money to reward yourself. (Or send it to me. Your choice. )
What’s Next for Adrienne: Look for DEVIL IN TEXAS (Book 4, Velvet Lies) the eagerly awaited sequel to SEDUCED BY AN ANGEL. (Read an excerpt from DEVIL here: http:// ebookdiscovery.com/adriennedewolfe.html ) Available Summer 2014 from ePublishing Works.Adrienne is donating a portion of royalties from each book in her award-winning Velvet Lies series of Western Historical Romances to urban tree-planting efforts! Learn more about this exciting project at http://writingnovelsthatsell.com/best-selling-romance-author-donates-royalties-to-urban-reforestation/SEDUCED BY AN ANGELBook 3, Velvet LiesBy Adrienne deWolfeBook DescriptionKentucky belle Seraphina Jones craves a dashing stranger worth kissing. When she spies her handsome, half-naked hired hand at the riverbank, she thinks her dreams of romance have come true. But this Texican is wanted for murder.
Jesse Quaid can't let Sera's sweet kisses distract him from rendezvousing with Cass, a childhood friend, to clear his name of a crime that he didn't commit. But then a case of mistaken identity turns Cass into Jesse's deadliest rival for Sera's heart. Now, Sera must find a way to end the feud before the man she loves is lost forever.
Excerpt:
"Can I have my pants back?" A wicked dimple flirted with his lips.
"Maybe." She narrowed her eyes at his bawdy show of humor. "Are you going to pack them in your bedroll and ride?"
"Now that's an interesting question, coming from a maid."
"That is notwhat I meant!"
"Isn't it?" Those strong white teeth flashed in a feline smile. "It seems to me a young, unmarried woman shouldn't be visiting her hired hand's digs in the middle of the night. Unless, of course, she has a certain kind of pleasure-riding on her mind."
Sera's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe Jesse would think such a thing about her!
Well, okay. Maybe she had imagined kissing him with a reckless abandon. And maybe she'd imagined stripping off his shirt to feast her eyes on his rock-ribbed planes. But was that such a crime? Imagining?
"Why are you being so contrary?" she demanded. "I thought we were friends."
"So did I. Until I came in here tonight and caught you spying on me."
She caught her breath. "Jesse, I swear. That is not what I—"
With a speed reminiscent of his quick-draw, he ripped the denim from her hands and caught her wrists. She shivered a little when she recognized the hunger in his jungle-cat stare.
"Jesse, please don’t be angry with me—"
"I’m not angry with you, Sera. I want to do forbidden things to you. I want to do scandalous, bawdy things that will make you pant and gasp and shake with the sheer, wild pleasure of my kiss . . . "
