So it’s the second week of January and I still haven’t finished my upcoming book, LOVE MATCH (HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER, book 2).
This is the slowest I’ve ever written and today I started wondering why. You all know I plot my books, so it’s not like I’m sitting here, waiting for inspiration to take over and get my fingers tapping on those keys. I know where the story is going and how it will end.
But for some reason, I just haven’t been able to get there as quickly as I have in the past.
And then, today, it came to me.
PLOT HOLE.
Yup. I’m missing something key in the story and just realized what it is, so HOPEFULLY, now that I know this I can continue writing the rest of the story and then go back in edits and change it up so that the beginning and end match.
Sometimes you gotta ruminate on stuff to see why there’s a problem.
I guess I ruminated enough for this one, LOL.

Oh, and if you haven’t read book one yet, here ya go: MIX AND MATCH
Divorced and lonely, nurse Jasmine Green retains the services of Heaven, NH’s very own successful matchmaker, Olivia Joyner. The bar scene and dating apps give Jasmine hives and Liv’s reputation is stellar. If anyone can help guide her through the quagmire that dating has become, Olivia can.
Architect Donovan Boyd is ready to settle down. He wants the kind of marriage his parents have; long lasting, filled with love, children, and joy. But even after a year of living and working in Heaven, he’s still considered an outsider by many. Finding the type of woman he’s looking for is hard in the tight-knit community. Retaining Olivia Joyner to help him find his forever love is one of the smartest things he’s done, especially after she sets him up with Jasmine Green.
But the red-haired, green-eyed beauty wants a different kind of marriage from the one Donovan considers ideal.
Can these two strong-willed people learn to compromise so they can both find their happily ever after? Or will their relationship forever be relegated to the friend zone?
