#FridayFunday Writers and Deadlines

If there’s one thing that writers dread, besides the synopsis of course, it’s a deadline. I, for one, freak out if a deadline is approaching and I’m not where I want to be in the story I’m writing. Luckily for me, I just finished the first draft of SINCE WE WERE 18, the first book in the Jersey Girl Bridesmaid series. I have had a blast writing Maggie and Jax’s story and am already itching to write the next one, WE DANCED ALL NIGHT which features uber responsible lawyer Connie and Jax’s brother, thrill-seeker/surfer dude/bestselling author Johnson.

In a few days that draft will be off to my agent well in advance of my deadline. But for all the other times I freaked and for all my writer friends who dread that deadline, a little fun this Friday with this quote from Douglas Adams.

P.S. For those who might be wondering why I chose a typewriter, I wrote my first book on a typewriter. Not fun.

#FridayFunday Chocolate Logic

I thought I’d do something a little different today, namely, something funny and kind of fractured if you get what I mean by this twisted bit of chocolate logic.

#FunFriday SUMMER HEAT #Romance #Boxset #99cents

I love working with fellow authors on new projects. My next endeavor is the SUMMER HEAT Contemporary Romance Box Set which features 16 sexy stories from 16 bestselling authors. My story is titled UNDER THE BOARDWALK and it’s about a husband and wife who are trying to rekindle the passion they once shared in order to save their marriage. Here’s the blurb for it!

    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 didn’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?

I have to tell you this is one sexy story – hotter than a ghost pepper – five alarm hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! LOL! I hope you’ll enjoy it.

The SUMMER HEAT Box Set is specially priced at 99 cents for a limited time and is now available at Amazon. I’ll have more info for you shortly on availability at the other retailers.

If you’re free on March 9, join us on Facebook for our release party where we’ll be giving away a Kindle Fire in addition to the prizes. I’ll also have something going on at the blog as a giveaway for those of you who don’t do Facebook!

#FunFriday Cats Sleep in the Weirdest Positions

We have two cats and I’m so jealous when I see them stretch! I wish I could stretch like that!

Our little one, Slate, sleeps in all kinds of weird positions. He especially loves to have his head hanging over something. I’ll have to snap a picture for you of one of those weird positions.

But for now, something to make you smile this Friday: Cats sleeping in weird positions. It should be good for a chuckle or two.

Have a great weekend.

Reviews

Romantic Times – 4 Stars: “Daisy Ramos is a gorgeous genius who works with her equally gorgeous partner Brad Evans. But Brad is a known bachelor and Daisy has her doubts whether he will ever give up being a bachelor for her or anyone else. Can Brad convince Daisy that he is ready to get serious and that he wants to share his life with her and only her? . . . enticing sensual tale.”

Affaire de Coeur: “(E)ven more charm than its predecessor. . . Worth picking up!”

Blurb

Brad Evans doesn’t understand why a woman like Daisy Ramos would be interested in a guy like him. . .

She’s the first woman who’s ever made him consider giving up his beloved bachelorhood, but falling for her presents all kinds of problems. For starters, she’s one of his partners in a successful biotech company. But worse, she’s the kind of woman who will drive a man to distraction and Brad’s not sure he can risk losing his focus or his heart to Daisy. But he can’t ignore that whenever she walks into a room, he wishes things could be different between them.

Daisy doesn’t believe that a confirmed bachelor and beach dude like Brad will ever walk down the aisle . . .

Especially not with a woman like her. She’s known Brad for years and knows he’s never serious about anything. He flits from one woman to another and spends his free time playing volleyball on the beach. He’s not a forever kind of guy and her determined workaholic mind warns her that he’s absolutely the wrong man for her, but her heart says something else.
