Happy Anniversary Jaynee and Jordan from SHE BELONGS TO ME!

Image
By


One year ago, She Belongs to Me hit the proverbial bookshelf.

Since then, my very first published book has hit the Amazon bestseller list on three separate occasions, playing beside such great writers as Nicholas Sparks and J.D. Robb. Thank you, avid readers, it wouldn’t have been possible without you.

According to readers, my romantic-suspense novel has made them laugh, cry, fall in love, and in some cases, made them want to slap the characters. Always a good thing in my mind when a character is so real to a reader that they bring out such powerful emotions.

While most women love my male protagonist with his possessive and protective behavior, asking, “Where can I get me a Jordan?”, a few can’t handle him. But that’s okay, real men aren’t meant to be handled; they take lots of love and understanding. And I did title the book She Belongs to Me for a reason. ☺

So if you love a sensual and gripping read that will have you falling in love and wondering who you can trust right up to the last page, please check out She Belongs to Me and decide for yourself.

To celebrate this one-year anniversary, She Belongs to Me will be only .99 cents through Christmas. Download one for yourself and gift to a friend to open up Christmas morning.

Thank you for stopping by and making my dreams come true this year, friends!

"As in any fairytale, everything good must come to an end." ENTANGLED DREAMS:

By
Now, if you’ve read any of my novels or excerpts, you know I don’t do happy-go-lucky beginnings; and as in any fairytale, a little rain must fall, or in the case of my stories, I prefer a monsoon. This week’s excerpt: But alas, as in any good fairytale, everything good and wonderful must come to an end. After the tragic accident that snatched her mother away from Alexandra, her father moved them away from the beaches of Destin to another beach in Florida. Cocoa Beach. Cocoa Beach was loud, the water murky, and there were no weekend adventures as there had been in Destin. Her father married her evil stepmother, Lilith, who Alexandra was certain was a witch with her long, black as midnight hair and pale-white skin as if she’d never seen sunlight. Her father had admitted he wasn’t in love with Cruella, as she had come to think of the witchy woman, but that he’d wanted Alexandra to have a mother and siblings. Well, she definitely got that.

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

By
Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

By
No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review
