Golden Globe Awards

Many memorable moments at the Golden Globes last night. I loved Sylvester Stallone and Leonardo DiCaprio's speeches and standing ovations. Kate Winslet seemed truly shocked she won Best Actress. The gowns were stunning. JLo's gown blew me away, but I had many favorites.

The comment Ricky made about Matt and Ben...well I shook my head like Matt! Speaking of Matt, The Martian as a comedy?

What are your thoughts about the show? I'd love to hear them.

Inspiration Behind "The Strength of Love"

Have you ever wished for a second chance at love or ever felt God misunderstood your prayer? Perhaps you’ve said to yourself, “Exactly how strong do you think I am, God?” Do you thank your family and friends daily for being a part of your life? These thoughts inspired me to write "The Strength of Love."

As a single parent I have a new appreciation for the role my family and friends play in my life. I used to be an “I am Woman, Hear me Roar” type who felt I didn’t need anyone—boy, was I wrong. Without my family and friends’ support, guidance, and love I would never have succeeded in rearing my son.

But as a single mom I also recognize how difficult it is to date! I dream of a second chance at everlasting, soulmate love. Sitting at home last New Year’s eve, without a date, I decided to write a story about a second chance at love. A love story I would be proud to experience. An always and forever love. Now you’re probably thinking to yourself—how sad…but wait! A person has to learn to laugh at their triumphs and tragedies. While writing this love story I laughed and cried. I have a feeling you will too! Especially when Rachel’s crazy cat Ebony is involved, which is often.

Throughout life we all have conversations with God. Have you ever prayed for something and years later realized your prayer was answered BUT not as you intended? I have, so I incorporated this experience into my heroine’s life. Rachel has many highs and lows, but don’t we all? Many romance books have weak heroines who need a man to validate them, but not Rachel. Rachel is a strong, resilient female. A person stronger than she ever imagined. Rachel discovers her strength through her faith, family, and friends. I’m a firm believer God doesn’t give us more than we can handle. Granted there are times I wonder if he feels I’m made of steel, but he never fails to give me the determination and perseverance required.

"The Strength of Love"The Strength of Love The Strength of Love by G.L. Ross is an inspiring, suspenseful, second chance at love story perfect for the holiday season. I hope it inspires you to be thankful for the lessons learned in 2015 and helps you create awe inspiring dreams for 2016.

Upcoming Release and Cover reveal

I'm excited to announce my new contemporary/inspirational romance, "The Strength of Love" will release December 14, 2015. Pre-order links are now available:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/x/id...

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

If you pre-order the ebook format is only .99 cents! On release day the price returns to $2.99, so pre-order now! The cover reveal is November 11th and I love the cover. I'm very excited to share it with you!

Here is a review and a glimpse of the book:
Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride, Rachel Thompson is ready to give up on love, before rodeo cowboy Brooks Reynolds rides into the arena and lassos her heart. His smoldering looks and strong yet tender nature sweep her off her feet. Life is pinch-worthy and picture-book perfect, except on the eve of her wedding Rachel’s love story is ripped from the pages. After two months of grieving, she discovers her nightmare is never-ending. In order to escape her heartbreaking past, the middle-school counselor relocates to a new city for a fresh start and a second chance at happiness and perhaps even love. Through her faith and the support of her family and friends she discovers sought after answers during an unexpected journey. ***Be careful what you ask for you may actually receive it.
“As a blogger I read a lot of books, but I can honestly say that I have never read a more compelling and beautiful story than this one. This is one book you don’t want to miss! To say it is fantastic is a gross understatement!!” Amazeballs Book Addicts
