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.

Thank you so much, Kate. I'm honored. I hope you enjoy reading 'She Belongs to Me' as much as I loved writing it. It's my first born, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Happy reading, new friend. :)
DeleteBy the way, Kate, I tried to comment and follow you site, and Google wouldn't let me. I replied to three of the other readers, but didn't see any of them, and tried to follow via G+ three times. :(
DeleteIf you remind me, I'll try again in a few days. :)
Hi, Carmen!
ReplyDeleteI really like your book, "She Belongs to Me", but I want to get the paperback edition. It's just that I'm a diehard bibliophile, so I do prefer printed books. I also love the cover of the paperback edition, although I must admit that the cover of the Kindle edition (the one on which the woman has raised her right arm to her head) is also pretty nice. Well, I wrote about the PB cover in my March Book Frenzy post.
I LOVE the plot of this novel, too! It sounds so very interesting! I already have it on my Amazon contemporary romance wish list, as well as on my Goodreads TBR shelves!
It's great to meet new authors! Enjoy the hop!! : )
Lovely! Thank you! Believe it or not, I agree with you. I too loved my previous covers. They set the mood exactly for each story. The designer literally pulled the images right out of my head. BUT...they weren't doing their job; they weren't connecting the books. So...I learned a valuable lesson. Great covers are important, but 'branding' is more important. Hopefully, I've managed both now. :)
