In This Episode
Journalist Skylar Shaw covers a plane crash on a Florida beach that leads her to a handsome yet mysterious Italian man…and the conspiracy that threatens all he holds dear.
Romance is the last thing on reporter Skylar Shaw’s mind when she covers a plane crash on a Florida beach. Her best source could be a mysterious Italian man, but he’s strictly off the record—unless it involves indulging their electrifying attraction to each other. Little does Skylar know, but that crash is only the beginning.
Luca Rossi is hiding a big secret: He’s a journalist, too, and his anonymous exposé on the Mafia destroyed his world. Now, after two lonely years on the run, he will do anything to possess this vulnerable American beauty. But Skylar is as relentless as the Florida glare, and the situation ignites when she reports on a gruesome murder in a swamp. Soon erotic nights will bleed into dangerous days, and nowhere will be safe from the heat.

Didn’t Make the Cut: The Deleted Ex-Boyfriend Scene from Wild Rose
Kill your darlings.”
This advice is hard to take, especially as a new writer. You write a scene you love, introduce an appealing minor character, or fall in love with a conversation. It’s perfect.
Just not perfect for the book.
Every writer has to kill scenes, characters, and phrases she loves. For Wild Rose, Book One in The Late Bloomers Series, I chose to delete a scene with Rose’s ex-boyfriend near the beginning of the book, an attempted booty call with a little role play. It was a fun scene to write, and it laid out some traits of Rose’s I could have used later in the book, but it slowed the pace of the story. It was unnecessary, so I killed it.
The Scene is dead. Long live the Scene!
The Deleted Scene (first draft, unedited)
“Steve, it’s Natasha. I’ve managed to smuggle the secrets away from the KGB, but they’ve got me cornered. Can you help me escape tonight?” Rose outlined the rim of her wineglass with her finger as she waited for Steve’s response.
“Oh, Rose, it’s so good to hear from you! It has been a while, hasn’t it?” He sounded nervous, and she suspected he wasn’t alone. Even at his most buttoned-down and political, Steve was usually up for a little sexual flirtation over the phone, especially in anticipation of a sure thing.
“I’ve been thinking that the pressures of the political life must have you stressed out these days, Steve. Want to come over and save the world with me and Jason Bourne? I’ll even make my famous homemade caramel popcorn to sweeten the deal, unless that would be considered a political bribe.” The wine made her bolder than usual, but since there wasn’t a relationship anymore she didn’t feel the need to please anyone but herself.
“Your caramel popcorn could be considered a political bribe in the right situation, that’s a fact!” His fake-happy robot voice was starting to get on her nerves. If he kept talking like this, she was definitely going to lose that warm glow she had going between her legs. She might even decide not to vote for him.
“Steve, is there someone else in the room, or did you turn into an actual political machine since the last time we saw each other?” She realized after saying it that she was the worst booty caller in the history of the game. No one would write a rap song about her smooth moves, that’s for sure.
“Hey, Rose. It has been a long time. I’ve been meaning to get in touch and tell you about my engagement. We’re announcing it next week in the paper, and I should have told you sooner. I’m getting married to Elizabeth Watson next summer.” He said it so fast she thought he might lose his breath.
Rose stopped for a moment to consider what he just said. Even Steve, with his rules and restrictions about his public persona and his inability to be interesting outside the bedroom, was getting married. Someone wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, and Rose always considered him a lot more screwed up than she was.
The whole time they were together she thought she was doing him a bigger favor, and here he was getting married to a beautiful and smart woman like Elizabeth Watson. She knew and liked Liz, and she realized they would be a great pair. And then immediately she wondered if she’d misjudged the balance in their relationship the entire time. Maybe he was doing her a favor, and maybe she was the one who was more screwed up. She did not like the places her mind was going with this news. Rose could feel the over-thinking part of her brain gear up for warp drive. She wouldn’t be able to shut down this analysis of her faults for days.
“Well congratulations to you, Steve. I’m glad you found someone to make you happy, though I will miss our occasional adventures. Liz is a lucky woman, and you are going to have a wonderful life together.” She could be the bigger person here. They didn’t have a hot love affair, so there was no reason why he had to tell her first about his engagement. But she did feel stupid about the sexy come-on in light of his revelation.
“Hey, you set the bar pretty high, you know. For a while I thought it was going to be you.” After he said that she let the phrase sit there in silence. There’s no way he meant that and no way she did, either. But out of all the awkward things said on this call so far, she could let that one go.
“So how are things with you, Rose?” he asked.
“Life is good, Steve. Rachel is taking a year to travel the world and discover herself. She keeps trying to get me to meet up with her in Italy, can you believe that?” Rose didn’t want to keep talking to him anymore. This conversation was going to tarnish every sexual memory she had with him, and since there was no one new on the horizon she was going to have to mine that material for the foreseeable future. Preservation was key.
“Rose, you should go! Those Italian men would love meeting a woman like you. You know they like a more mature woman.” He stopped abruptly. “Um, you know what I mean.”
“Well thanks for what I think was a compliment, Steve,” she said with a laugh. “I think I should let you get back to what you were doing. It was good to catch up with you. Take care now.”
She put the phone down and stretched out on her bed, thinking about her options. Steve was off the table. She had no idea who else she could meet in this town. Didn’t she already know every single person within 100 miles? It felt like it.
What did she want in her life now that Rachel was gone? The mother in her didn’t want to accept it, but the woman in her was ready for a more sensual life, one that included a lover and possible partner. And a lot more laughter and fun.
“I should call Ivy.” She typed a reminder into her phone for first thing tomorrow morning, right after her make-up call with Rachel.
She planned to have this whole thing sorted by tomorrow.

In This Episode
Francesca Bellafiore is a good Jewish girl, living up to family expectations that she use her magic to heal others. Underneath, she’s a wannabe badass with her heart set on becoming a detective and solving magical crimes. But nice girls don’t disappoint their moms.
Party boy Rafael Muñoz does everything possible to publicly disappoint his high profile father. Privately, it’s a different story. His carefully crafted bad boy reputation masks the fact he’s a master illusionist, forced into solo covert ops. The role is wearing thin and Rafael longs to be part of a team.
When Francesca meets Rafael at a friend’s party, she’s taken by the sexy stranger. Until he speaks. Beautiful plumage doesn’t compensate for spectacular ego. Rafael finds Francesca’s sweetness a turn-on. For about five minutes. Judgmental golden girls are more trouble than they’re worth. Then a terrified girl with reality warping powers, locked and loaded on their destruction, whisks the pair to Manhattan. Francesca and Rafael are caught in a web of magic, minions, secrets, and enough sexual tension to power NYC. Desperate to prove themselves, their only chance to save the city and survive is to team up, trust each other, and maybe even fall in love.
Provided they don’t kill each other first.

What the Start of a New Book Project Looks Like
(I have to give them plenty of space to move around.)
Day One of a New Book Project
Just seeing the folder name Tiger Lily_Project on my laptop for the first time gives me goosebumps!
The day I open a new book project is always a biggie. This is the “official” file, the Scrivener version that will house all accumulated research material, notes, and the actual manuscript from now until the book is published.
Tiger Lily is officially underway!
I have several rituals for the start of a new book project (some dating back to my nonfiction days, some newer ones since I started writing The Late Bloomers Series).
Pick a theme song for the project.
For this one, it is Natalie Merchant’s “Wonder” from the Tigerlily CD which came out maybe 20 years ago. It’s a way to ground me in core of the character, and this one is certainly a wonder!
(Wondering about my previous books? At the back of Wild Rose I included a link to a playlist, of which the theme song is part. It is “Change of Season” by Hall & Oates. And for English Ivy, it is the song that even makes an appearance in the book —”American Woman.”)
Choose several images to represent my main characters.
Many of you tell me you don’t want to know because it ruins your own imagination, so I won’t tell what fabulous actress perfectly encapsulates my heroine…so much so that I knew from the very first seed of an idea of The Late Bloomers that she would be the incarnation of Lily.
Once I have these images I insert them into the character sketches. Then I go a step further and make a collage of characters and the book cover as my laptop screensaver.
Pull artwork, pictures, travel guides, music, movies, books, and more to “round out” my book’s world.
Throughout the process, I’ll use this information to stay in the mood of the story and immerse myself in the world of my characters. This may seem like overkill when the world of my books is the modern world, but I need to immerse myself in it, to remind myself what it was like to travel to those locations, eat those foods, and dance to that music.
Say hello to my characters.
It’s weird, and a little embarrassing, but it works for me. Day one is when I utter my first words to them, usually when I’m searching for their perfect images online. “YES, that’s you.”
Over the course of the book, we’ll have many conversations.
I start thinking about the FOOD of the book.
I realize there has to be romance, sex, drama, witty dialogue and more. But since my books are set in foreign locations, my mind immediately goes to the food and how I’ll use it in the book. The best part is finding recipes and giving them to Warren, who does his part for the creative process by cooking them for me!
One of my favorite lines from a book review states, “No one writes drama, food, and sex like Betsy Talbot!” Food is a huge part of my books because it is a huge part of my life. In Wild Rose, I even included a link to a little menu from Chef Aldo for the perfect romantic Italian meal as a bonus.
Book Three is Underway
That’s how I start a new book project. It’s a big day, one that makes me very happy (after all, I haven’t had time to run into any creative roadblocks yet!), and one I hope to repeat many more times in my life.
Look for Tiger Lily, Book Three in The Late Bloomers Series, in Spring 2016. Until then, you can catch up on the adventures of The Late Bloomers with Unfolding (free when you sign up for email updates below), Wild Rose, and English Ivy.



And now—back to writing Lily’s story!

Listen to the Episode

Lady Snow Gwyn is tired of playing “mother” to her seven Vampire Slaying brothers. For the past two years, she’s yearned to be out there fighting at their side as they hunt for bloodsuckers in the black of night. Snow is as good a fighter as any man, but she wasn’t called to be a Slayer. A mere formality in her book.
Prince Sageren, Son of Lothar has spent the last fifty years in exile, awaiting the day when he can finally avenge his family and take back his throne. Barely existing, he’s forced to face his inner demons and the monster he once was, compelling him to vow to never drink from humans again. A simple enough task–until he crosses paths with a human who makes his fangs ache to drain her.
When Snow runs into Prince Sage on a late night trip to the woods, she’s torn between the urge to kill him and the desire to succumb to the feeling he stirs within her. And when Snow’s life is threatened by the same evil that murdered his family, Prince Sage must enlist the aid of Snow’s brothers to not only help him save her life, but to also regain his rightful place as King of the Vampires.
If Sage can keep the Slayers from killing him first.

In This Episode
In ninth-century Ireland, Selia is a girl on the verge of womanhood, frustrated by the confines of her gender and resentful of the freedom her brother boasts of. Intelligent and resourceful in a time when neither is valued in a female, she longs for an escape from her sheltered existence. Fascinated by the tales of Viking raids told by her maidservant, Selia’s hunger for independence is fed through the stories of heathen ferocity she hears at the woman’s knee.
A decision to sneak to the city’s harbor to view the Viking longships leads to an encounter with Alrik Ragnarson, a charismatic Viking warlord whose outward beauty masks a dark and tortured mind. With the knowledge that her father is about to announce her betrothal to a man she doesn’t love, Selia marries Alrik and within a day is on the longship bound for Norway and a new life.
While Selia’s relationship with her new husband grows, her friendship with his brother Ulfrik grows as well. And as Alrik’s character flaws come to light and tension mounts between the two brothers, Selia begins to have misgivings about her hasty marriage . . . especially when a secret from the past is revealed, one that threatens to destroy them all.

Forensic accountant Sloane Tobin and kooky pet psychic Willa may have the same face, but that’s the only thing these identical twins have in common.
How she can read the hearts and minds of animals has always been a mystery to Willa, and her rotten luck with men is equally baffling. When she meets Brody, the handsome rose expert hired to save her grandmother’s garden, she’s instantly smitten, but why does he keep sending her mixed signals?
Unlike her twin, Sloane has zero interest in romance. Her passion is her job, where she uses her gift for numbers to take down slimy embezzlers and asset-hiding spouses. When she’s assigned two high profile cases, Sloane feels confident the promotion she’s been angling for is within her grasp. But how’s she supposed to stay focused on the drama at work when her childhood friend, Gav, moves in next door and the spark between them becomes impossible to ignore?
To get what they both want, can Willa and Sloane band together and rely on each other’s strengths? Or will their differences drive them apart once and for all?
