<span style="font-size: small;">You know how I asked a while back if you like sweet romance or whether you want a bit of spice? Most of you said you like both but that you want sweet as it's harder to get than sexy stories. So, I thought, if I'm going to write sweet, then how about putting it in an era when sweet was the style? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">In short, I spent September outlining and starting a Regency romance. I handed over the first three chapters last week to three beta readers and asked for feedback. Now I realise I got a bit off track and as I'm a bit stumped, I thought I'd talk to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">What I love about Regency romances:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. OMG the dresses and the parties and the sheer romance of it all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. I am a huge fan of Jane Austen, Henry Fielding, and Mary Wollstonecraft as well as later authors William Makepeace Thackeray, Marie Corelli, and Wilkie Collins.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3. Also, Georgette Heyer is a goddess.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The challenge of writing Regency romances for a modern audience:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. The language needs to retain the style of the classics but it has to be simpler. I can't afford to alienate readers who find the classics a throwback to painful literature courses at school.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Readers are expert in their fave era, which means I have to make sure that I don't mess up, like having one of my dukes swig gin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Question: can I do it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Answer: reading over my three chapters, one beta reader said, "OMG awesome!!!!" another said, "It's great and it will sell" and the third said, "Speed it up and make some adjustments"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Issue: in addition, the third pointed out that I need a series and people like consistency from their authors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Problem: I have three romances out, all contemporary. If I go for a Regency novel, how many readers will be interested in my non-Regency work? Whereas if I write a modern story, I (hopefully) have all of you, and maybe some new readers too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Also, it took me a month to write three chapters, so writing Regency is not easy. If there's one thing you all agree on, you want MORE STORIES.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I do write a lot but the fact is that I have my other jobs: there are the<a href="https://www.star2.com/author/ellenwhyte/" target="_blank"> feelgood pet columns in The Star</a> newspaper and I also have <a href="http://ellenwhyte.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">an online therapy practice, helping clients overcome depression and stress</a>. Plus, there's my dark side, my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/author/aj-adams" target="_blank">AJ Adams novels</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Then there's the fact that it's been a bloody difficult year, full of death and sickness. That is not over yet, so I can expect more in the next few weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">As I write this, the issues are becoming clear. I can't do it all. I'm okay now but I am at my limit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I have to set aside the Regency chapters and go back to sweet contemporary. It hurts because I love a challenge and it means a month's writing down the drain but it's not practical to switch. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I have an outline already for the second Winthrop story. I can write it in two months and start my next AJ novel straight after.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thank you for listening. It's really helped to clear my mind. I have two therapy clients this morning and then I'm cooking Tom a super-duper Saturday lunch. I'll get out my notes, do a little dreaming and start the second Winthrop story tomorrow morning.</span><br />

No notice, just wham - gone.<br /><br />On top of that, one of us lost a close family member, another had a health issue, and a third was hit by a massive family crisis.<br /><br />In all the running around, a button didn’t get pushed, which meant the massive blog share didn’t happen.<br /><br />You’d think the whole process would be a complete disaster but surprisingly, just the sharing of the Facebook and Twitter posts, plus the half a dozen blog posts we generated among ourselves, helped boost KU reads.<br /><br />This is what we learned:<br /><br />One email a week with easy share buttons is easy to manage.<br /><br />On our main Facebook post, we got 31 shares.<br /><br />On our main Tweet, we got 900 impressions and 28 engagements.<br /><br />Stepping away from the easy Likes and Shares, we found that several of us don’t blog. So, in terms of the media kit, the cut and paste Facebook and Twitter sections worked well, but the rest of it was of limited use to the group as a whole.<br /><br />General verdict was that the exercise worked but needs tweaking.<br /><br />My view:<br /><br />I was away for the entire month of June, which meant I couldn’t help, couldn’t push and couldn’t fix stuff. In other words, this was a worst case scenario. This is awesome because it means it can only get better.<br /><br />I tracked my KU page reads after the event, and found that I got mini-boosts of KU reads each day after we ran a Like and Share. This indicates that our timing was good; we caught people at the right time of the week and the month.<br /><br />I need to make nicer graphics because the promo graphic was meh. This may mean hiring someone to make one. <br /><br />I need to fiddle with the HTML table in the media kit to present a better view for blogs seen via mobile platforms. <br /><br />I was using MailChimp to manage everything. It's not user-friendly, the menus are extremely complex, and it's stuffed with legacy system issues. I've got it working now, but urgh what a learning curve.<br /><br />We also need to see whether having blogs participate makes a difference or not.<br /><br />So, we’ve had a chat, and we’re trying it again in August. If you’re a romance author, and you have a book on KU, you can join us.<br />

You know how I wrote a few weeks ago about <a href="http://sweethotsexy.blogspot.com/2018/05/tips-for-facebook-and-newsletter-book.html" target="_blank">working on my marketing</a>, well, there's a group of us trying to coordinate some promo action based on what I've been learning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The biggest barrier to
publishing is getting yourself noticed. There are so many millions of great
books out there, that getting yours on someone’s reading list is a challenge. In the last few months
I’ve been spending some money on marketing and here are some thoughts on how
it’s panned out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Facebook Personal
Timeline Posts</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Word of mouth is very
valuable, so if you can get a reader to post a note about your book - WHOOHOO!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Problem: if you like
to any page outside of Facebook, then Facebook will ‘hide’ the post. Because
they don’t want people to leave, ever. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Fix: a couple of likes
and comments pushes up visibility. So get your mates to help you with a little
bit of love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Facebook Group and
Page Posts</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Public groups and
dedicated pages can be great for reaching readers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What works: if you
have one that’s active with visitors, it’s a great way to get noticed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What doesn’t work:
post-and-run forums are a waste of time because nobody is looking.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Takeaway: avoid a
group or page with 10,000 Likes if people simply like, post and run. But a page
with 200 likes that’s active can be gold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tip: look at the ten
most recent posts. If people are liking and commenting, you’ve hit gold. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Also remember: a
couple of likes and comments pushes up visibility. So get your mates to help
you with a little bit of love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Newsletter Marketing</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In theory newsletters
should be great compared to Facebook because they don’t suppress readership. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What works: a newsletter that people like to read</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What doesn’t work:
commercial lists that go to hundreds of thousands of people, few of whom even look at it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tip: don’t ask, “How
many subscribers do you have?” but ask, “How many opens do you get?” And if you're asking a company that charges, don’t
be surprised if they refuse to tell you! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From what I can gather, big newsletter
get around 10-20% opens. So if you see 10,000 subscribers, some 1000 to 2000
people will open the newsletter. However, it doesn’t mean they read beyond the
first book. So if you’re not at the top, even those opens may never see your book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Takeaway: an author
newsletter with engaged readers is gold. If a fellow Indie offers to host you
or mention you, offer the woman a mani-pedi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Worth trying: a
promo group with an in-house newsletter that goes to serious fans.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Warning: not all newsletter hosts are honest. To see how they do, sign up for the newsletter you want to be featured in and track their posts for two or three cycles before you send off your $$$. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b>Coming Soon! </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve come to some
other conclusions about what works in promos and will be putting together a
test kit to see if I can refine everything into one ka-pow package. I’ll be
checking it out in June and will write about it in July. Cross fingers it works and I don't fall flat on my face.</span></div>

Cheers, EllenEllen Whytehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10036407326752053191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229987616484967985.post-29276190909907721482018-05-19T19:38:00.001-07:002018-05-22T02:52:10.730-07:00Growing Up In A Male Fantasy World, plus a review of Sherwood Rogue by Kristi Cramer I’m a huge fan of fantasy fiction but when I read Sherwood Rogue by Kristi Cramer this weekend (the review follows) I suddenly realised something odd. <br />
<br />
Apart from the Earthsea stories by Ursula Le Guin, I couldn’t remember a single story with a female lead.<br />
<br />
Not one! Isn’t that wild? <br />
<br />
I devoured books by Tolkien, Feist, Piers Anthony, Douglas Adams, Pratchett, Stephen Donaldson, CS Lewis, David Eddings, Frank Baum, Micheal Moorcock - and as I started to itemise my favourite authors, I realised something else: they’re all men!<br />
<br />
I guess in those days, publishing houses were run by men and for male authors. I can’t say it bothered me because, in my head, I had no trouble at all identifying with the heroes. <br />
<br />
Mind you, I did get fed up sometimes of the very dull female characters. I remember moaning to my brother, also a massive fantasy fan, that the girls in the Riftwar series are either princesses or plucky tomboys, and very one-dimensional tropes to boot. <br />
<br />
At the time, I grumbled but accepted it, and got my happy reads with rounded female characters from authors like Daphne Du Maurier, Mary Stewart, and Mary Renault.<br />
<br />
<br />
While it's possibly easier to write from your own gender perspective, I would like know why my favourite fantasy authors generally avoided writing good female characters. Did they think we didn't matter? Or did they try, and discovered they sucked at it? <br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, having read Sherwood Rogue, I’m blessing myself for living at a time where online publishing is allowing women writers to share their work with the world. Not only is it great for us, but it means young girls can now pick up fantasy novels with finely layered female characters. <br />
<br />
I think it’s also excellent for the genre at large; when a small group has dominated a field, opening it up breathes in new life and new ideas. <br />
<br />
So, it’s a happy day today. I’ve got a new favourite book and there’s more to come.<br />
<br />
(Update: <a href="http://ellenwhyte.blogspot.my/2018/05/on-being-personal-cheerleader-because.html" target="_blank">I've figured out why I still enjoyed fantasy novels! </a>)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Review: Sherwood Rogue by Kristi Cramer </span><br />
I thought YA and Robin Hood would be dull as dishwater so I’m totally taken aback by this unusual take on the legend. This was an awesome read! <br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51xar354l-L.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51xar354l-L.jpg" width="213" /></a></td></tr>

Unhappy 21st century Kay steps through a time portal and is sent to Sherwood Forest where she joins Robin Hood. While she lives the legend, she’s living her own story at the same time. The result is an adventure story with a love theme - and some excellent twists. (I won’t spoil it for you.)<br />
<br />
What I loved about it: <br />
It’s a thoroughly human story with carefully layered main characters.<br />
It retains some of the legend’s iconic points, like the fight between Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. <br />
The gore, the dirt and the rough bits of medieval England are all there.<br />
Kay doesn’t become a sage or a wise woman or any of the usual tropes.<br />
<br />
What I didn’t like:<br />
Actually, it was an excellent read. If I’m super critical, then I’d say the first few paragraphs don’t hint at the amazing story to follow. So if you read only the first page, instead of dipping in the middle, you may miss out. <br />
<br />
Five star read, and it’s on my re-read list.<br />

Hi there,<br />
<br />
Do you like pretty things? If so, I have a surprise for you!<br />
<br />
As you may know, I live in the tropics, in Malaysia, so for us it’s summer all round. Also, we have some amazing local crafts.<br />
<br />
To say thank you to everyone on my mailing list, and to help those of you in colder climates welcome the summer after the super cold winter, I’m holding a surprise giveaway.<br />
<br />
I’m giving away two traditional Malaysian batik sarongs and two handmade batik wallets.<br />
<br />
<img data-file-id="887135" height="478" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5b44c5ad32a6f1536ff2f9902/images/2bc9a797-5497-42d3-87ec-9637be9bc9d3.jpg" style="-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; border: 0px; height: 478px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 371px;" width="371" /><br />
<br />
If you’ve never seen it, batik is a wearable work of art. The artist
draws or stamps a pattern made from beeswax onto plain cotton cloth.
Then she dips it in a vegetable dye, lets it dry, and then she removes
the wax with hot water. This leaves a simple two toned pattern. The
artist then repeats the process, building up layers of colour.<br />
<br />
Although artists all have their own style, classic Malaysian batik tends
to feature flowers and leaves. Popular colours are also very natural,
with lots of brown, green, cream and dots of red and blue.<br />
<br />
As you might guess, we love our batik! All of us, men and women, use it
as a casual wrap, as a throw, and to make formal party dresses and
shirts. Because it’s so versatile, we also have a cottage industry of
ladies making batik wallets, coin purses, fans and more.<br />
<br />
I love batik and I want you all to enjoy it with me! So I’ve made up two prizes, each containing one sarong and one wallet.<br />
<br />
What do you have to do to enter to win?<br />

<span class="st">♥</span> THANK YOU <span class="st">♥</span><br />
<br />
How are winners picked?<br />
On 26 May 2018, I go to random.org, put in all the names from this
mailing list and let it pick two winners. I then write to you,
privately, to get your mailing address (work or home) and I post you the
gift. If you’re in Europe or North America, it will take about 10 days
to get to you.<br />
<br />
Winners will be announced to the whole group, via a very short
newsletter on the day of the draw. So please be sure to check your
email!<br />
<br />
Speaking of newsletters: I write about three sweet romances a year, so
you’ll only hear from me when it’s pre-order time (you get DISCOUNTS) or
if I’m running a giveaway.<br />
<br />
I do love to gossip, so I <a href="https://sweethotsexy.blogspot.my/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">blog every week</a> or so, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ewhyte" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">I’m online at FB</a>. If you like, do come and chat!<br />
<br />
The next Winthrop novel should be ready in August. I’m loving the story
line but I’m thinking a little steamier might be fun - let me know your
thoughts? Find me online or just hit Reply.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, enjoy the spring, and I’ll be in touch on 26 May 2018 to announce the winners. <br />
<br />

Like offering to help the neighbour paint her garden wall and realising your own living room needs a new coat? And then ending up doing the kitchen, the loo, the stairs - and the whole dratted house?<br />
<br />
I did end up repainting the house after helping out a pal, and when I started reading Emmanuelle de Maupassant's novella, Highland Pursuits, the first thing that struck me was her author bio.<br />
<br />
This may sound funny but I can write a glowing intro for other people, but when it comes to writing about myself I want to hide behind the sofa.<br />
<br />
Silly, right? Face to face I've no problem selling myself. I was in sales when I first started work and on top of that I've years of freelance writing work behind me. To get those jobs, you need to be hard nosed about self promotion. I find I'm great at talking myself up, but not writing myself up.<br />
<br />
So I read Emmanuelle's cheery bio and suffered every shade of envy and jealousy there is. See how fun and attractive she is?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Emmanuelle writes the glitteringly erotic, the Gothic, the comedic and the wry.<br />
<br />
She lives with her husband (maker of tea and fruit cake) and her little haggis pudding terrier (connoisseur of bacon treats and squeaky toys). </blockquote>
Her bio is simple, cheery and attractive. My author bio was just totally blah. I was bored reading it!<br />
<br />
I knew there was nothing for it, I had to do a rewrite.<br />
<br />
Author bios should help you connect with readers. Ideally, you let them know what kind of a person you are, as well as the kind of books you write. But as people don't have a lot of time, you need to keep it really short. <br />
<br />
Then you add on a little marketing, but again, short and sweet.<br />
<br />
It's an elevator pitch but in text. It's not easy!<br />
<br />
This took me all day and I'm still not sure if it works, so if you have feedback, I'd really appreciate it.<br />

<br />
And now, Review of Highland Pursuits by Emmanuelle de Maupassant<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61PX5EXZw0L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="334" height="320" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61PX5EXZw0L.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<span id="freeText15653899603541829179">Rich, clever and sexy, Lady Ophelia is looking for Love</span>.
At the start of the novel she turns down a rather wet peer (no pun
intended) and is sent Up North by her very disappointed family. Once
there, she meets a host of new people, and is faced with some difficult
choices regarding her future. <br />
<br />
I was expecting a novel filled with high society parties laced with witty and sharp one-liners, like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkgYjeFYQ2c" target="_blank">The Thin Man</a> films or the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/62132-mrs-bradley" target="_blank">Mrs Bradley</a> books. While there are lords and ladies, they're mostly obsessed with sex.<br />
<br />
I had to laugh because I've always thought that too much money and leisure means the super rich tend to focus on getting their end away rather than anything else. According to Highland Pursuits, I was right!<br />
<br />
Highland Pursuits is a romance romp with a very independent heroine. It's a fun story, with tonnes of bonking, and I liked Hamish, the man Ophelia loses her heart to. In short, a sizzling read.<br />
<br />
I'd recommend it, and I'd like to see more of Ophelia. But in the spirit of the Thin Man and Mrs Bradley, if there could be a murder in the next one, that would be even more awesome.<br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I first started
reading my mum’s Mills and Boon, the stories were so tame that it amazes me
they were considered for adults only. Apart from rapidly beating hearts and the
odd tummy flutter, there wasn’t a hint of sex. A lot didn’t even have kissing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Today clean romance
sales are surging and while it’s fun to write for that genre, changes in
society means it’s more of a challenge to come up with a storyline and
characters that are authentic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For instance, in my
mum’s time, nice girls just didn’t go to bed unless they were married. Well,
they did, but they pretended they didn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As sex was taboo, wanting it and not doing it was perfectly believable
and provided authors with a neat method for promoting sexual tension.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Also, back in those
days, class was a lot more important. A secretary really was a step down or two
from her boss. And a girl who’d taken a course at a little college, was way
below a man who went to university.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again,
very simple, very understandable Obstacles To True Love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The challenge for
writing clean romance therefore is not so much leaving out the sex scene but
explaining why you’re leaving it out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you have an office
situation, like Curtis and Emma in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/His-Competent-Woman-BBW-Billionaire-Billionaire-ebook/dp/B06XQTWY73" target="_blank">His Competent Woman</a>, you can incorporate
modern values. At one point, Curtis is nervous about his interest in Emma being
perceived as inappropriate or perhaps even harassment. That is, I think, a very
real concern for modern men who fall for their colleagues.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Love-Laughter-Lots-Winthrop-Family-ebook/dp/B07B24PML6/" target="_blank">Love, Laughter andLots of Dogs</a>, I wanted to explore how an old fashioned courtship might work in
modern times. So Kelly is a bit worried about the gossiping cats who destroy
reputations in her little village, and Cory had a very bad time with a previous
whirlwind romance. That was enough to provide them both with authentic reasons
to keep it vertical for a few months.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51iXM%2Bb4OeL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51iXM%2Bb4OeL.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Harvest-Moon-Homecoming-Sweet-Haven-ebook/dp/B076HP2L1K" target="_blank">Harvest Moon Homecoming</a> by Jessie Gussman, Principal Calvin “Fink” Finkenbinder and Ellie
Bright are living in a small rural town where social standards mirror are very
definitely last century. Fink’s bosses look down on Ellie because she doesn’t
have a lot of formal education and as this might impact on Fink’s career, that
becomes an Obstacle To True Love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It’s a fun idea that
works because of the setting. It would not have worked if Fink and Ellie were
living in New York or Los Angeles but in a small town, values are more likely
to be old-fashioned and as everyone is living on top of each other, gossip is
concentrated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In real life those situations
would be heartbreaking but in novels, you know you can count on a Happily Ever
After.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s what matters, right?</span></div>

<i><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve had a bad couple
of months and so I was looking for a light, cheerful novel with nice people and
no angst. This hit the spot. Fink and Ellie are very nice people, getting on in
life, and discovering that they’re not too old for romance. It’s a clean
romance, so apart from a few kisses, it’s all about the relationship that develops.
I must say, I liked the farm details and the plot revolving around the American
tradition of having parades with floats was also a lot of fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I came across <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0797HV4R7" target="_blank">The Busy Mom's Guide to Writing</a> on a Goodreads review group. Disclosure: </span><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I was sent an ARC and am reviewing voluntarily.</span></span></div>

It took me just over 90 minutes to read. Also, it's American and the authors assume you are living in the West or at least a Kindle country. So if you're in Malaysia like me, some of the advice needs tweaking.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm Scottish-Dutch, I live in West Malaysia, and I like to keep busy. I'm dividing my time between several jobs I love because that's what makes me happy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm a <a href="https://www.star2.com/author/ellenwhyte/" target="_blank">newspaper columnist</a>, a magazine feature writer, and a <a href="http://www.lepak.com/" target="_blank">counselling psychologist</a>. Novel writing is a hobby - or rather, a passion. I write sweet romance as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/author/ellen" target="_blank">Ellen</a> but I also have a dark side as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/author/aj-adams" target="_blank">AJ Adams</a>.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“HAMISH,
no!” But I was too late. Hamish jumped higher than Steve Smith and unlike the
Olympic athlete who kept to a nice clean track, the German Shepherd pup had
been running wild in the reeds by the park pond. “Oh, you dreadful boy!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
was gazing ruefully at myself. My favourite rose patterned top was colourful
enough to disguise the coating of fur but nothing in the world could cover the
streaks of filth that now ran all the way down my front. Also, Hamish’s sharp
claws had torn a triangular tear in my leggings. At crotch level, of course, so
the world could see my ancient Paddington Bear knickers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Hi,
Kelly!” Julia Sackville-Smythe was gazing at me, eyes wide with horror. “Oh,
what happened to you? Are you all right?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
had to laugh because the contrast between the two of us was just too funny for
words. You see, Julia is perfect. I’m not kidding. She’s everything I’ve always
longed to be: sophisticated, successful and skinny. The three Ss that spell the
difference between glamour and - well, mundane me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Even
when out for a stroll in the village park, Julia was dressed to kill. While I
looked like a mud dipped horror dressed from the reject bin, she was sporting a
beautifully cut tweed blazer and an exquisitely simple mustard yellow wool
dress that clung in all the right places. Even her polished leather boots were
just lived in enough to be the epitome of country chic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It
didn’t stop at the clothes, either. Julia’s shining blonde locks drifted
elegantly around her shoulders, whereas the fresh breeze had whipped my dirty
straw hair into a rat’s nest. Add to this that Julia is so trim you might miss
her if she stood sideways, whereas me, well, let’s say that if we were in
‘Beauty and the Beast’, she’d be Belle and I’d be Mrs Potts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’re
all muddy,” Julia said concerned. “Did you trip and fall? Are you hurt, Kelly?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">On
top of the glamour, she really was sweet. Annoying right? You’d think a beauty
like her should at least be catty if not an outright bitch, but Julia was
well-known for being a total darling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I’m
fine, thanks.” I brushed at the mud, spreading it rather than eliminating it.
“I’m taking Hamish for a run before his training lesson and as you can see,
we’ve not reached the bit where I teach him not to jump up.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“He’s
filling out,” Julia was examining the bouncing Hamish critically. “You’ve made
such a difference to that dog.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Hamish
looks like a superb pedigree German Shepherd, but the poor pup was rescued from
a mill, one of those awful farms where they breed purely for profit and they
don’t give a damn about the dogs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When
the police closed the place down, our village vet Dr Gill was called in to
help. Hamish was so sick with ticks, fleas and cage fever that he was almost
put down. Thankfully, she persuaded the police to let me have him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It
had been touch and go but Hamish had pulled through, so I was misting a little
as I watched him run around being happy. “He is looking good, isn’t he? How are
you, Julia?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
finally sold that Hepplewhite chair so I thought I deserved a break,” she
explained. “And how are you doing? Not that I have to ask. Everyone is saying
you’re doing great!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m
totally invested in my work so that made me smile. “Thanks!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You
must be so happy, being a business owner. Much better than being a tiny cog in
a giant corporation, right?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">She
meant well, but it caught me on the raw. You see, I turned entrepreneur after I
was let go by Hearts Unlimited, a publishing company specialising in romance
novels. It wasn’t anything I did, I was actually very good at my job, but
Hearts was sold to an American conglomerate. Being super efficient, they
slimmed the organisation down, and I was one of the trimmings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Although
it was just economics, it hurt to be fired. My pride ached even months later.
Also, starting a business is roller coaster scary. I mean, so many good ideas
just don’t make it, right? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia’s
well-meaning comment hit some panic buttons but I didn’t let it show. “Pawsome
is awesome! I’m having a blast.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“So
I see,” Julia said excitedly. “Everyone’s talking about how you’re training in
the park. It’s fun to watch.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Which
is why I was there, of course. Hamish was as cute as a button, and being very
visible helped me to spread the word about my business. Even people who weren’t
keen on dogs smiled when they saw him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Idling
away the afternoon, girls?” Mrs Mowbray was marching up the path. I wasn’t
happy to see her. As the owner of the sweet shop, she’d always featured largely
in our lives when we were little. Unfortunately, she’d always been judgemental
and some of her comments bordered on poisonous. Still, in a small village you
have to get along, so I nodded politely and braced myself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Kelly’s
training Hamish,” Julia said peaceably. “Isn’t he adorable?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Dogs
belong on farms,” Mrs Mowbray snapped. “That animal should be working.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Pets
give people a lot of pleasure,” I pointed out. “Many of us think of dogs are
our family.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You
never did have any sense,” she responded rudely. “So you’re still wasting your
time, pretending to run a business?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">At
that, Julia gasped. She might have spoken up for me, but I frowned her down. I
like the quiet life, and if that means ignoring the odd nasty barb, that’s fine
with me. Mind you, I can be lethal if I want to. But I prefer not to rise if I
can help it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I’ll
arrange some restaurant hours at the Three Swans for you,” Mrs Mowbray took my
self-controlled silence for being soft and thought she was on a roll. “You’re
not qualified, of course, but they’ll take you as a favour to me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Great.
I was stupid and incompetent. I took a breath and held on to my temper, “No,
thanks.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s
good money, waitressing. And you get tips.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
have a business of my own to run.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Mrs
Mowbray scowled. “Right, well suit yourself.” Then she added spitefully.
“You’ll pipe down when you go bust.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">At
that, I was seeing red but she was marching off before I could blast her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Don’t
mind her,” Julia comforted me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Thanks,
I won’t.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia
was shifting from foot to foot. “You’re doing okay, though, aren’t you?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Of
course!” A new business survives as much by its reputation as its products, so
I was firm about talking myself up. “I love what I do and my customers are
giving me rave reviews.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">At
which point Hamish bounced back, feathered paws filthy, and cheerfully leaped
on me again, brushing my face with a courtesy mudpack. I was still wiping the
muck from my eyes, when I heard Julia exclaim, “Oh lord, I hope that comes
off!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
was holding on to a wriggling Hamish as I fumbled for the leash in my pocket.
“Sweetheart, you’re a terror.” But I was petting him as I spoke. The dog was so
full of the joys of life that he was irresistible. As I stroked the soft ears,
he licked my face, tore himself out of my grip and dashed off again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Eeeew,”
Julia moaned. “You’re covered in mud!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Talk
about an impromptu makeover,” I laughed. “Think Hamish would make it as a
personal stylist?” From the noises of horror behind me, though, I wasn’t the
dog’s only victim. “Sorry, Julia. Were you splashed too? Is it very bad?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But
as I finally wiped the dirt out of my eyes and turned around, I just stood
staring in surprise. It wasn’t Julia who’d been spattered; it was Cory
Winthrop.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I’m
okay but this suit isn’t.” Julia was fussing, brushing his jacket with long
sweeps of her elegantly manicured hand. “I have a magic little velvet roller
thing in my shop if you want a quick spruce up.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
should have said something, but I was tongue-tied. Tall, golden-haired and
handsome, he was a vision straight from Hearts Unlimited. He even had a title,
being in fact, Corwyn Holbrook Norman, tenth Viscount Winthrop. I know, yummy,
right?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Better
still, unlike the conventional romances, he wasn’t one of those nasty Byronic
heroes filled with dangerous power and sneering alpha male arrogance. Being
around Cory meant being enveloped in a bubble of warmth and laughter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Even
now, with his purple silk tie splodged with mud and his steel grey suit jacket,
definitely Armani, sprinkled with little spots of dirt, he was smiling. “It
doesn’t matter. I never liked the tie, and the rest will brush off when it’s
dry.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Yes,
Cory hadn’t changed one bit. I’d had a crush on him when I was sixteen and he
was still utterly gorgeous. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia
was pink with excitement, “It’s been ages, Cory. I almost didn’t recognise
you!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">She
got a hug right away. “I spotted you straight off. You look even more amazing
than usual. Wow!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Standing
together, they looked as if they’d stepped off a novel cover. Hearts would have
snapped them up in a heartbeat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“My
jeans and tee days are gone,” Julia said brightly. “I dress pretty to snare
customers into paying exorbitant prices for my antiques.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I’d
pay anything you asked,” Cory replied promptly, adding another, “Wow!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia
might have morphed from scruffy student to glam fashion model but Cory had
always been pin-up material. You could have dressed him in a dustbin bag, and
it wouldn’t have disguised the long cheekbones, sculpted lips, and startlingly
blue eyes, the colour of cornflowers and summer skies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Now
those heavenly eyes were smiling down at me. “Kelly Taylor! It’s so good to see
you again.” The charm was flowing over me like caramel. “It’s been ages. Five
years? Six?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“More
than that, I think.” I looked again and realised he looked better than ever.
The lean hips were the same, as were the long legs, but he’d been working out.
Drinking in the deep chest and the powerful shoulders, I felt myself blush. To
my horror, my crush came rocketing back. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Desperate
to hide the tide of red that I knew was sweeping over me, I whipped a pack of
wetties out of my pocket and rubbed away at my muddy face. Suddenly I was
wishing for a little more of those three Ss. Or at least a muck free face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’ve
always been handsome. You know I’ve lusted after you forever, don’t you?” Julia
was holding his hand, looking soulfully up at him as she flirted shamelessly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You
were my first crush,” he responded instantly. “When our eyes met, it was
perfect love.” He paused a second and added wickedly, “Or it might have been
because you had a choc ice. I’ve always been partial to those.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh
lord, St Edmund’s Church charity picnic,” Julia giggled. “We must have been,
what, six years old?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As
they laughed away like the old friends they were, it came home to me that this
was really too much like a scene from a Hearts novel. Except I wasn’t the
heroine, damn it. I now knew exactly what it was like to be a wallflower at a
debutante’s ball. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You
were there too, weren’t you, Kelly?” Cory was chatting happily. “I think you
two must be my oldest friends.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In
a way, that was true. Julia, Cory and me were all village born and bred, and as
Silverdale is small, we all went to kindy and primary school together. The
three of us had been best friends in those early years. But after that, I went
to the local comprehensive while Julia went to Cheltenham Ladies College, a
hugely expensive private school, and Cory went to Eton, which is even more
exclusive. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">From
that point, we lived separate lives. During the holidays I spent my time
earning Girl Guides badges and then as working as the vet’s kennel cleaner and
assistant while Julia and Cory hung out at various stately homes between trips
to Corfu and Tuscany. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s
like old times, isn’t it?” Julia squeaked. “I feel as if we’re back at school
again! Oh Kelly, do you remember how Mrs Twickerton made us perform scenes from
the Odyssey? We were Sirens, remember, and Cory was Neptune.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Mrs
Twickerton got it right on the button,” Cory grinned. “You two are
irresistible.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
wanted to sparkle, or at least say something interesting, but as the crush
rolled back, it brought along my teen shyness. I was horribly aware of my
over-abundant curves and muddy clothes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Of
course, Julia was chatting away. “Where did you spring from, sweetie? I thought
you were in London.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Mum’s
charity ball,” Cory said easily. “I came up to help.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I’d
been to the Hearts galas and Cory was acting as if we were still as close as
the days were shared buckets and spades in the sandpit but I was thinking that
the only way I’d be invited to Winthrop Hall was as a waitress. It shouldn’t
have bothered me, I wouldn’t know a soul who was going, but somehow it just
underlined how difficult the year had been.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m
usually confident but for a split-second, I wondered if I was kidding myself.
Was I building my own business and being my own boss, or was I wasting my time
and squandering my savings? Every penny I had was invested in my venture. Would
I come out of this completely broke? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia’s
ecstasy pulled me out of my temporary funk. “A charity ball? But I’ve not heard
a word!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s
a bit sudden,” Cory said vaguely. “As soon as it’s sorted, I’ll send you
tickets. And you too, of course, Kelly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sweet,
right? Told you he was lovely. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
haven’t been to a fun do in ages,” Julia sighed. “Any celebs coming?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Cory
grinned. “There may be a few. If I know Mum, she’ll have London and Paris
turning out.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yes!”
Julia squeaked. “Oh, I love your mum!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Save
a dance for me, Julia,” Cory said warmly. “And you too, Kelly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
finally got my voice back. “It sounds lovely. But Cory, about that mud -”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s
no problem,” he said quickly. “How have you been, Kelly?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Great.”
As scintillating was out of the question, I went for the obvious. “You walked
up from the station?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“That’s
right,” he smiled. His eyes went to Hamish who was now frisking about the reeds
again. “That’s a good-looking dog. Yours?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yes.
I’m training him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Cory
gazed at the German Shepherd who was now running around like a lunatic. With a
tree branch in his mouth and leaves sticking to his muddy sides, Hamish looked
like he was training at the Attila the Hun School of Discipline. “He looks very
happy,” Cory ventured.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh lord, you are kind. But really, he’s only four
months old. He needs to run off his energy before his lesson.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“He
does have a lot of that,” Cory agreed. But the heavenly eyes were thoughtful.
“You’re with Hearts Unlimited, right? Are you back for a holiday?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Ouch
again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But
before I could answer, Julia was chatting. “Didn’t you hear? Kelly moved back
in with her mum and dad. She’s the village dog whisperer now!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">That
term was one I loathed, so I stepped in quickly. “Mum and Dad were in an
accident, and as my job disappeared when Hearts was sold, it made sense to come
home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
heard the company changed hands,” Cory frowned. “But not about your job or your
parents. I’m so sorry, Kelly.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“They’re
both much better and it’s given me the opportunity to start my own business.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Dog
breeding?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Luxury
pet treats.” I wasn’t even thinking as I dug into my pocket and handed him a
flyer. I’d been boring on to anyone who’d listen for months, so my elevator
pitch was perfect. “If you’re worried about salt, sugar, and additives in
commercial pet treats, try Pawsome. It’s fresh, home-made and packed with
goodness. Pawsome treats for pawsome pets.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Very
slick,” Cory smiled. “I love it!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Success
breeds confidence, so I didn’t hesitate to talk myself up. “I’m also a positive
reinforcement dog trainer. If you have a pup who needs to learn company
manners, I’m your girl.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You
must be doing great, seeing the village is obsessed with their pets.” He was
being nice but I could see him trying not to look at my ripped leggings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Cory
Winthrop wasn’t just titled and rich; he was also a very successful banker.
He’d skipped university, going straight into the family bank from school, and
swiftly transformed the small private corporation into a hugely successful
investment bank that rivalled Lloyds and Goldman Sachs. The serious newspapers
were filled regularly with details of the multimillion pound deals he did
before breakfast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Faced
with all that success, I was suddenly certain my fledgling business enterprise
was a childish dream. Maybe Mrs Mowbray had been right. Maybe I should be
looking for hours at the Three Swans. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">For
a second my confidence wavered but then Julia went into support mode, “We all
thought Kelly was crazy when she first started handing out her flyers, but
she’s a red-hot hit. Everyone is raving about her.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">While
she gushed, I stepped away from them both and called Hamish. Much to my relief,
he came bounding over. He was absolutely filthy now and tired enough not to
jump up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Sit,
Hamish.” Yes, he was eager to please. I rewarded him immediately with a treat
and praise. “Good boy.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
clipped the leash to his collar, and tried to look cool, calm, and collected as
I said my goodbyes. “I have to go back to work. Sorry about the mud, Cory. It’s
nice to see you again. Please give my best to your mum.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Of
course.” Those wonderful eyes were looking straight into mine. “Do you have to
go?” He had tiny laugh lines and they were crinkling at me. “Sorry, but it’s so
good to be back home. After grey claustrophobic London, I feel like I can
breathe again.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Has
it been foul?” Julia asked sympathetically. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh,
you know how it is,” Cory replied. “It’s always interesting but it’s not home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia
shook her head but I knew what he meant. “It becomes stifling after a while,” I
agreed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Cory
nodded. “Exactly! Hey, how about we all meet tonight? I left my bag at the
Three Swans so I’m driving down there later to collect it.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
have a dinner with the Ellingtons,” Julia said regretfully. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“How
about you, Kelly?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">That
came totally out of the blue. I just gawped at him. “Erm, me?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’re
at Old Yew Lodge, right? I can swing by and collect you.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
thought I’d misheard him. There was no way that Cory Winthrop, the country’s
nicest, most handsome and probably most eligible bachelor to boot, was asking
me out. Unless it was a Candid Camera prank. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">He
was standing so close to me, that I could smell his aftershave. It was fresh
and clean, like a newly mown lawn after rain. In the blink of an eye, I was
thinking how it would feel to be hugged by him. I knew that snuggling into
those arms meant being enveloped in a cloud of loving warmth. I was a split
second away from doing a Hamish and just going for it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“They
have a Pinot Grigio there that’s very good,” Cory said. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Julia
was looking a bit down, but she nodded, “Yes, but Kelly likes cider.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I
preferred wine but I wasn’t going to admit I drank local scrumpy by the glass
because I couldn’t afford to spend a fortune on an imported award-winning wine
that was sold by the bottle. “I like both.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
laughter lines were nothing compared to the brilliant smile. “Great. They do
excellent roast beef and the duck’s fantastic too.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Not
just a drink but dinner. Was I dreaming? I almost pinched myself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Shall
I pick you up at eight?” Cory asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Putting
myself in his way would lead to nothing but trouble. He wasn’t just out of my
league; he was from a different universe. I should walk away and spend the
night planning a promotion schedule or working out a new recipe for dog
biscuits. </span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yes,
please,” I heard myself say.</span><br />

IN LOVE IS TERRIFIC, isn't it? Like bungee jumping with a bottle of
laughing gas thrown in. But falling for someone doesn't always translate
into the deep kind of love that lasts forever.<br />
<br />
I look at love from different perspectives: from my own life, as a
counselling psychologist (my day job), and as a novelist (my other day
job). In other words, I think about love a lot!<br />
<br />
Speaking for myself, I've been best friends with Tom, my husband, for
over 25 years, and our 22nd wedding anniversary is coming up next month.
I'm touching wood to ward off ill luck as I say this, but I think daily
happiness is boosted by continuing your dating habits into married
life. (If you want to check out that train of thought, <a href="http://ellenwhyte.blogspot.com/2018/03/how-to-forge-happy-marriage.html" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">check out my psychology page post</a>)<br />
<br />
But there's more to keeping the fires burning than that, isn't there? We
can fall in love in an instant and then later discover there just isn't
the foundation for a lasting loving relationship.<br />
<br />
My perspective is that the basis comes from sharing the same worldview.<br />
<br />
Like Sophie and Richard in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Laughing-Girl-Billionaire-Romance-British-ebook/dp/B07254M6QR/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">His Laughing Girl </a>come
from wildly different backgrounds but if you look closer, they are very
much alike. Sophie and Richard both work hard and have lots of pride in
their jobs because they feel their careers are a big part of their
identity. They acknowledge this and they support each other.<br />
<br />
For Richard and Sophie, work ethic is attractive but it wouldn’t sit so
well with someone who is disinterested in career success. In fact,
that's what caused so much trouble when ever busy Quique in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-Dealings-Zeta-Cartel-Novel-ebook/dp/B01HORLNAC/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Dirty Dealings</a> married Tina whose idea of a good time is doing nothing.<br />
<br />
I think that when you both have the same attitudes to how life works,
you tend to tackle things the same way. And that is what I think is the
basis for the successful Happily Ever After.<br />

Sadly, it's not uncommon.<br />
<br />
As it happens, I've been looking to hire an extra person for over a year now, and it's very, very difficult to find someone who is professional, reliable and effective.<br />
<br />
If you're interested, this is how I'm going about it.<br />
<br />
To avoid promo people who send out things late, and who make mistakes when sending out promo material<br />
Tip #1 I ask good book bloggers who they like to work with.<br />
<br />
To make sure the promo people work with my genre and market,<br />
Tip #2 I look through their last ten tours/projects and see if it would work for me<br />
<br />
To avoid promo people who can only gather a handful of blogs and facebook posts<br />
Tip #3 I do a Google search for the promo post title, and see what comes up. Then I look at the author's Facebook page and see how far the post traveled. Good promo people use hashtags that make that job easier.<br />
<br />
<br />
To ensure promo people can gather a decent amount of reviewers<br />
Tip
#4 I go to the book pages (Amazon, Goodreads etc) of the last ten
tours, and see how many reviews they got over the tour period.<br />
<br />
To see if the reviews and posts translate to sales<br />
Tip #5 I look at Amazon rankings. That's great if the tour is ongoing, however, it can be tricky if a week or two have gone by. Very often, I contact a past customer and ask (privately and discreetly) if their experience was good and if they'd recommend their promo people.<br />
<br />
Will it protect you completely? No. There are a lot of cons who prey on authors, and working online makes cheating rather easy. In addition, there are unscrupulous people who walk away in the middle of a job, who do a half arsed job because they're messing about with too many other responsibilities, and so on. Publishing is not an easy business and at some point most of us are bitten.<br />
<br />
So good luck, and if you know someone who does effective promos for sweet romance set in the UK, do let me know.<br />

from His Laughing Girl Chapter One</span></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">As Andrea glared
and Richard fussed, helping me out of my seat and handing me my bag, I caught a
whiff of that clean scent again. It bypassed my heart and went straight
downstairs, starting a pleasant pounding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I love to flirt,
don’t get me wrong, but that kind of reaction isn’t me. It caught me totally by
surprise. So much so that I was standing there, gawping at him like a total
fool, when Andrea’s cell rang. “It’s the <i>Guardian</i>,” she hissed. “They
want to know about the new patent we registered. But it’s the girl from the
gossip page, not the tech editor.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Excellent,”
Richard was expansive. “You deal with it, Andrea. Give her the press release
and fob her off on everything else.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Andrea nodded.
“Rebuff and redirect. Got it.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">She was clearly
super capable, and I could see why Richard liked her. But he was abandoning her
and cornering me! “Sophie and I will go ahead. I’ll order your tea and fruit
for you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">At that, Andrea
actually growled at me, which was rather nice. Ignoring her petulant frown,
Richard took my arm companionably and began walking me down to the dining
carriage. “I was thinking this week was going to be complete hell, Sophie. I’m
so glad you’re going to be there.” The grey eyes were warm. “At least you and I
will have a bit of fun.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">He wanted to
have fun. With me. “We’re going to have a blast,” I heard myself say. “Trust
me!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Breakfast
wouldn’t lay me open to more than pleasant chat, I told myself. It wasn’t like
we would be joining the Mile-High Club or whatever the railway equivalent was. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“They’ve got
eggs Benedict and a sausage platter. Do you like eggs and sausages, Sophie?”
Richard was walking right behind me, leaning down a little so his lips were
near my ear. The feel of his breath warming my neck was giving me thrills.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“I eat
everything!” I squeaked. “And there’s nothing like a hot sausage, is there?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Quite,” he
chuckled. And the thrills from that dirty laugh went straight from my ear to my
nipples. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It didn’t mean a
thing, I reminded myself. My ears are sensitive. Even a blow dryer can give me
shivers. It’s purely a physical thing. An involuntary reaction. Totally
impersonal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I’d just focus
on business. Virgin had announced a new menu based on responsible British
farming, a move that I wanted to check out. Also, it’s good to hobnob with
clients. Word of mouth is how I get my clients, and with Richard Cummings
knowing everyone in the model world, he’d be a good contact.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The train
swayed, and Richard’s arm curled around my shoulders protectively. “Promise
you’ll not abandon me,” he murmured. “Andrea is a clean-eating vegetarian.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Sounds hell.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Exactly,”
Richard chuckled. “I want real food, and with you backing me up, I won’t feel
guilty.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I remembered
Andrea’s disapproving frown and knew I’d enjoy teasing her. “Partners in
crime,” I told him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“To being
wicked.” His grey eyes were laughing at me. “Together.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The pleasant
thumping in my knickers became a vigorous pounding. This man was gorgeous. I
could feel his charm wrapping around me like a warm blanket. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Irresistible,
right? I heard myself quip, “Are you Cumming onto me?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">He bounced right
back, “Absolutely.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Oh well, I told
myself. It’s just a flirt fest. I have those all the time, and it hardly ever
comes to anything. Because of the curves, probably. Men like me, but after
we’ve had a laugh, they go to bed with someone skinny. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">This was no
different. I’d have a giggle with Richard, enjoy the charm and the good looks,
lust after him a little bit, and know it was purely a game. Because tech
billionaires with a penchant for A-list models don’t fall for curvy caterers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">“How about we

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">

kissable mouth and the slanting cheekbones. “Sounds terrific,” I heard myself
say. “There’s nothing as decadent as champagne for breakfast!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Yes, yes, I know! But you only live once,
right? And anyway, it was just a bit of flirting. What could possibly go wrong?</span></div>

This Curvy & Confident bundle contains two complete uplifting
romances featuring big beautiful women and their yummy billionaires.<br />
<br />
<b>His Competent Woman</b><br />
In
desperate need for money, Emma applies for a job with handsome
billionaire Curtis West. She's not really qualified for the job and to
make matters worse, she loses her temper during the interview and fudges
her credentials. Can she pull it off or will this end in tears?<br />
<br />
<b>His Laughing Girl</b><br />
Curvy
chef Sophie Weston has given up on love. But when she is hired to cater
for a very exclusive house party, she falls instantly for handsome tech
tycoon Richard Cummings. However, she quickly discovers that Richard
has a shady past. Should she trust him or should she walk away before
her heart is broken again?<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB">Rip Marston is a merciless killing machine. After a decade of hunting
his prey, Rip joins the Zetas. The job offers protection as he practices
his dark arts, but the Cartel are wary of the monster in their midst. </span></span></span><br /><span lang="EN-GB"></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt; mso-char-indent-count: 1.5; mso-char-indent-size: 12.0pt; text-indent: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br />Finding
a badly beaten unconscious girl, Rip sees an opportunity. Posing as her
saviour will please the cartel - and provide him with his very own
helpless captive.<br /><br />Isabella Maria Franco is beautiful, wilful and
used to making hard choices. Having grown up in the comfortable but
lethal embrace of the Gulf cartel, she rejected a life of violence. But
when a dark presence from her past returns, her world falls apart. <br /><br />Betrayed
and beaten, she escapes, only to find herself in a living nightmare.
Surrounded by her enemies, one man stands between her and death.
Terrified by her sadistic captor, she has little choice but to submit. <br /><br />But embracing his darkness leads to consequences neither anticipated.<br /><br />WARNING:
This bad boy dark romance contains dubious consent, graphic violence,
sex and probably every trigger you can think of. It is for adults only.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I was sitting on the sofa, drinking my rum. It tasted mercifully
strong, so I went for it. Anything to numb my senses. I was wishing I’d never
come out of my crazy haze. Reality was scary as hell, and I was low on courage.</span></div>

having you around,” he’d said. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I wanted to down the rum in one. With no tolerance, I’d be drunk. Maybe
I’d be out completely. Looking down, I could see his cock bulge in his jeans.
The thought of being at the mercy of this man terrified me. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">They had planned to have me tortured as a sex slave for the rest of my
life. I’d escaped them, only to land in exactly the same kind of trouble. It
made me sick to my stomach. Was a rape worse than a beating? Soon I’d find out
for myself.</span></div>

I could’ve fucking strangled her. She knew it too because she stepped away quickly. “Touch me and I’ll have you!” she snarled.<br />
<br />
“Bruja mala leche! What the fuck do you think you’re playing at! You can’t push me around!”<br />
<br />
“Sure
I can.” Her eyes were slate grey, the same colour as the sky, and just
as cold. “I need help, and you’re going to give it.”<br />
<br />
“What the hell are you talking about?”<br />
<br />
“I’ve got a situation. I need someone who isn’t afraid of murder and mayhem.”<br />
<br />
I
should have charmed her, offered to help and maybe it would have
settled it, but I was too mad to even consider it. “Help you? Over my
dead body!”<br />
<br />
She shrugged. “We can do it that way, too.” She took out
her phone. “I’ll call you soon, hopefully within the hour. If you still
refuse, I call Smith.” The eyes were hard. “I’d rather not shop you,
because I hate that bastard, but I will if you make me.”<br />
<br />
I gave her
my number. I mean, I wanted to kill her, but in London they notice
things like bodies in the street. Especially if you’re careless enough
to do it in broad daylight next to a cop shop. <br />
------<br />
<br />
Quique is having a
bad time. Back in Mexico his marriage has fallen apart and his wife
has made him a laughing stock by cheating on him. Now he’s in London and
finding himself out of his depth with a complex commercial deal. To
make things worse, Natalia Truelove, a chef and pub manager, is
blackmailing him. Quique is ready to commit murder and he’s pretty sure
who his first victim will be.<br />
<br />
<b>Warning: Dirty Dealings contains strong adult language and themes as well as graphic violence and sex scenes.</b><br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
Apart from my own writing, I beta read for friends and the occasional new author. <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve also gone back to reading
and reviewing for medium and large
publishing houses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you're breaking into writing, this is what I found.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Forget Reviewer
Geographical Locations.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the old days when
books were only available in print, and write-ups appeared in local print
media, it was important to make sure that reviewers were living in your
publishing area. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It made sense because
a glowing review in the Hindustan Times meant nothing if your novel was only
available in New Zealand.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some reviewing
services still stick to this mode, and so do some publishing houses. If you’re
in print only, that’s okay. But if you’re into e-publishing, I think it's a mistake. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tip: All that matters
is that your reviewer has the eyeballs you’re looking for. Pick people who have
a following on Goodreads, Amazon or Facebook. The best are those who are active
in a fan group that your book fits. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Real” Publishers
don’t know how to format ARCs for Kindle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(Or maybe they do know but they can’t be arsed.)</span></b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ARCs are never perfect
and that’s fine. But there’s a difference between having typos, grammar errors
and a few snafus and a hot unreadable mess.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve had books that
have no paragraphs, books that have missing pages, and books where the
formatting changes abruptly fine to completely absent from one chapter to
another. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I try to be kind, but
there were two ARCs that were so badly put together, that they dropped a star
in my review. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Tip: if you’re an
author and you think your publishing house is handling your ARC, for God’s sake
check on their work.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Editing seems to be
a vanishing service.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Writing a book is a
major project and you can’t do it alone. In the old days your publisher held
your hand and helped you pinpoint difficulties in your MS. This included
structural editing so the flow worked right and you had no plot holes. It also
included fact checking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of course it was a big
task, for the publishing house and the author. There would be at least one edit
and rewrite; often two or three.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve read ARCs that
appear to have no editing guidance at all. I’m talking characters that go
missing, inconsistencies and other really big problems. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ve refused to review
some, just handing information back to the publishing house, but I
wonder how many new, unknowing authors are messed up by not having a proper partner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: magenta;">Tip: if you’re working
with a publisher, don’t assume that getting your book done quickly means it’s
awesome. Your partner may be lazy or cutting costs. Before you sign a contract, agree on
what they will do and what you will do.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Note: I'm full up for reviews and beta reading until December 2017</span></span></div>
