The Boy Who Wouldn't Talk - Boy Behind the Camera by L.L. Hunter - Release Day.

You might be wondering why Behind the Camera is listed as part 4, not another short story like A Touch of Sparkle and One Year in Hollywood.
That's because he JUST WOULDN'T TALK TO ME!
Damian Belle was a hard nut to crack.

It was hard to get inside that man's head. So, i needed to go back into his past, peel back the layers until he showed me who he was. But it didn't come easy.

Damian didn't have the best of upbringings. He and Kate have that in common. It is that similarity which becomes a crucial thing that brings them closer together towards the end: they both had abusive fathers.
Damian's story could have gone down a completely different path. He could have become a completely different person. But his love for movies is what saved him and shaped him into how he is at the end of the book. That's what i wanted to write about. That art can save you.
It's also because of his mother. Throughout the story, Damian showed a huge amount of respect for strong women. Kate is a strong woman, just like Damian's mother.

I don't want to tell you much more. You will have to read the book.

I hope you won't throw tomatoes at me or send hate mail. Please don't. I didn't mean for this book to be as short as it is. But i hope it's a good read, regardless.

And you know, with me, there are always more books coming.

Speaking of, there are two more books coming in this world - later this year, or next year. Depending on my schedule. Read the epilogue in Boy Behind the Camera for a sneak peek at one of those upcoming books.

***

Boy Behind the Camera, book 4 in the Written in the Stars series, is available now on all ebook platforms. Sorry, no paperback for this one.

But if I had let those men drown you, or if I would’ve left you bound in the rope when I had the means to sever it, or outside without a roof over your head when I had one to offer… If I’d refused to ease the pain in your wrists, River, I would have regretted it.

2019 Wrap Up + A Touch of Sparkle Release

I can't believe how fast this year has gone!

I swear 2019 was the year that all changed us as people. It gave us a few extra grey hairs and scars - physical and mental. I know it has for me.

Since It's now Christmas eve, i thought i might kill two birds with one stone and do my yearly wrap up post and the release post for my latest book in one post. To save you from being spammed and me from doing extra work lol.

Looking back over the year 2019, I am astounded I got so much done.

Here's some of the things i achieved this year:

- Attended my first book signing in Canberra (Though it wasn't very successful. i had to leave early due to heat stroke. It was so damn hot! At least the hotel was lovely.)

- Attended my first big interstate book signing in May in the Barossa Valley. (even though Canberra is technically interstate from me. Not as much as Adelaide)

- Got a new job and promotion at a doggy event company, but then had to leave said job because of harassment.

- Travelled to the USA for the first time! In Hawaii, we went to Kauai Ranch, where they filmed Lost and Jurassic Park, to Tahiti then New Zealand, where i swam with stingrays and went on the Lord of the Rings film set tour respectively. That trip was quite eventful as i got sick multiple times and also fell down the stairs etc. I was quite worrisome for my parents lol.

-Got a kitten! After the death of Smokey 4 years ago, we were terribly sad. We said when the time was right we would welcome a new kitten into our lives. I had always wanted a Ragdoll. So when i found Oscar's breeder online, i messaged them and they told me there was a litter on the way and would i like to reserve one. I said, yes please! So i reserved my little boy, and then got to watch him grow up via pictures the breeder sent me. I knew him before he was born.
My baby boy Oscar is now 1 years old. He is the love of my life and we can't imagine our lives without him now.

-Became an Auntie for the first time! Well, to a human anyway. I have a puppy niece, Rhye, but little Otis was born in June to my other sister. We love him so much. I can't wait to spoil him for Christmas.

- Met one of my idols, Sarah J Maas in April.

- Published 6 books!

There might be more but that's all i can remember for now.

Here's to a successful 2020!

***



Oh, before you go, here's my last release for the year.

A Touch of Sparkle is a christmas short story, ebook only, set in the Written in the Stars world. You can grab it here for only 99 cents.
