FIRST TIME is here! (Plus a reading playlist, and character inspirations)
Hooray hooray, it’s release day! First Time has hit online retailers. Time to do a happy dance and celebrate!
First of all, have you entered the giveaway? You can earn extra entries by annoying your followers on social media with incessant reposts of the same tweet, every day!
(I’m hearing that some people are having trouble with the Rafflecopter widget on their mobile devices. If anyone has a solution to that, feel free to shoot it my way! In the meantime, try that link!)
Now, on to some First Time release day fun!
Do you already have First Time on your phone, tablet, or other device? You might want a soundtrack while you’re reading! Here’s the playlist I used to write First Time, or you can just put “Call Me, Maybe” on a three and a half hour loop, which I also did while writing the book.
Wanna know who I saw in my head as the characters of First Time? I’ve got faces in mind for all the major players:

Ian Pratchett

Penny Parker

Annie

Fr. Danny

Rosa

Bill
And if you don’t have First Time, you can order it in e-book or paperback (Penny’s paperback is coming soon, there was a formatting issue with the cover, but I promise she’s on the way!)
IAN:
Newly divorced and romantically pessimistic, Ian Pratchett doesn’t know why he’s been set up with Penny Parker. She’s unrelentingly positive, utterly superstitious, and sexually inexperienced—everything Ian is not. But when sparks fly between them, Ian sees the possibility of a life he’d given up hoping for…with a woman he would never have expected.

PENNY:
With the wounds from a bad breakup still healing, Penny Parker is reluctant to dive back into the dating scene. She’s especially wary of being set up with an older man, but Ian Pratchett wants the same future she’s after: family, stability, and true love. Though all the signs point to Ian being The One, can the timing ever be right between two people born decades apart?
