#TeaserTuesday Under the Boardwalk

Happy Tuesday! You know what that means: a teaser!

Today I’m sharing a teaser from UNDER THE BOARDWALK. I loved exploring how two people who truly love each other go about repairing a marriage that’s gone wrong. I truly believe that with love, you can fix something that’s broken. It just takes time and patience and in this case, a little bit of passion. Okay, maybe a lot of passion, not that passion alone is enough necessarily.

In UNDER THE BOARDWALK, Chase and Natalie have lost the passion as their lives have pulled them apart. The love is still there, but caught up in a lot of other things that are keeping them from being real with each other. In this story, they get real again and try to rekindle their love and marriage, but also find themselves again.

Teaser

Natalie Ramirez has spent less and less time with her husband over the last year and more and more time alone. She longs for the happy days of summer when she and Chase would pass the time together on the beach and under the boardwalk, exploring the passion that simmered between them as hot as any summer sun.

Chase Smith had to work hard for everything he ever had, including his wife Natalie. His wife had never wanted for anything in her life and Chase didnâ€™t want to disappoint her. But somewhere along the way, Chase lost sight of the most important thing she wanted: his love.

A passionate night under the boardwalk brought them together, but can Chase and Natalie rekindle that lost love and save their marriage?

#TuesdayMotivation Inspiration & Fun at #RWA16

I had lots and lots of fun at the RWA Conference this year, but I was also inspired and motivated to get to work on both old and new projects and to try new things to improve my career. I always feel more energized after the conference and this year was no different, maybe possibly better. I managed to do my first keynote speech and a workshop on juggling careers and life. I spent time with dear friends and made new ones. All in all, a fabulous time.

So today, I’m sharing some photos from the conference and I hope you enjoy them!

#WriteWed Need #Fashion Inspiration What to Wear for my Keynote Speech

Counting down to the RWA National Conference and really really excited about the keynote speech I will be giving at the 2016 Neilsen Romance Book Summit which will be held on July 14th in San Diego.

I hope you some of you can make it to either the RWA Literacy Signing on Wednesday or the Romance Summit.

Today, I’m asking for some Fashion Inspiration on what to wear to present my keynote speech. Should I be all business-like in a suit, less formal in my little black dress, or casual and colorful in a bright tunic with black pants beneath? I really really need your help with this!! So is it 1, 2 or 3 below?

Many thanks to Gisela for the little black dress and wonderful tunic! Also bought two of their bathing suits. Their stuff is fabulous and you can get it locally at OG Surf & Skate.

#ThrowbackThursday My First 5K #fitness #health #thisgirlcan

If you had asked me a year ago whether I thought I’d ever be able to run a 5K again, I would have been doubtful. Actually in my youth, I’d run multiple 10Ks, but that was before excess weight pulled me down.

Today’s Throwback is to two weeks ago when I was able to do a 5K on the treadmill. I didn’t break any land speed records, but like I told my hubby when I did 3.5 miles on Sunday, it’s about just being in the race and not how fast I finish.

Anything is possible. I sometimes lose sight of one of the things my mom always told me: Anything can be yours if you’re willing to work hard for it.

For the last year I’ve been working hard at improving my fitness and health. I’m going to keep on working hard at it. I also hope I can inspire any of you who doubt you can do it to take that first step toward a better life.

#ThrowbackThursday RWA 2010 & 2016 Literacy Signing & Nielson Romance Book Summit

I am so looking forward to the 2016 Romance Writers of America Convention. This is one of my favorite conferences because I get to see so many fans and friends. On top of that, this year I am giving a workshop on how to juggle being a part-time writer with your day job, family, and friends. I’ll also be the keynote speaker for the Nielsen Romance Book Summit. A little nervous about that and still wondering what to wear for such an important talk! Yikes.

Today’s throwback is to the 2010 RWA Conference and the literacy book signing.

The 2016 â€œReaders for Lifeâ€ Literacy Autographing will be held on Wednesday, July 13, from 5:30 â€“ 7:30 p.m. at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina in San Diego, California. It’s RWA’s goal to reach the 1 Million Dollar Mark in donations for literacy!

I’ll be donating copies of ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE to be sold to raise money and I’ll have some special goodies for those who come to the signing!
