It’s my Birthday this Friday so, I thought I would put La Roe’s on Sale through August 31st for only 0.99!

When Emerald La Roe ran away 300 years ago, she had not planned to return. However, after repeated dreams from Goddess Morrigan, Emerald finally realizes she has no choice. Emerald not only finds a magical sword waiting for her, but her dead husband also.

It seems Stefan O’ Duff wants’ reconciliation and help to cure the curse they share. Emerald would rather see him dead than be with him again, she has someone else to consider though. Her new love, Maxwell Howard a werewolf, who through sharing blood with Emerald, now faces the same fate as Emerald and Stefan. For the cure to work, Emerald has to put her hatred of Stefan aside and consent to share his bed again.

Can Emerald put 300 years of anger aside to save them or will she sacrifice all their futures and kill him as she swore to do?

Excerpt

As the doctor was finishing up, “You must remember this is a very dangerous time still for both of them. Also, make sure both Mother and baby, stay in bed for at least a few more days and Ivory must not go outdoors at all for a fortnight. Be sure to remember to keep her bundled up warmly.”

“Momma is a good mother, to say she is not is an insult to her and my family. Momma raised me just fine …

Write What We Know #MFRWauthor

Hi everyone, well as usual things have been crazy chaotic but I am here for another edition of the MFRWauthor blog posts. This week’s prompt is an interesting one, well for me anyways. Before beginning to write this post, I would have said that very little or none of me was in my stories. However, after thinking about it some, I now know that’s not true.

In my first book La Roe’s, I had a dream about a dress and since I cannot draw that great, I decided to write about the dress instead. That was most definitely a part of me.
Then I thought about the character and the time in my life the original version was written compared to now. The main character, Emerald, she works a lot. I did too back then and even more so now.
She is also extremely protective of her friends, which yeah one can say that about me. Perhaps even a bit ‘mine’ determination.
Emerald also has taken the hard knocks of her life and changed them into something else, I can say that has happened with me as well. She takes certain losses very intently.
The story may begin in the U.S., but it ends on the Isle of Mann, which is someplace I would love to visit.
Roses call to her and well my favorite flower is the rose.

In my second story, Fay’s Wish, the main character had recently lost her mother and that I can understand heartache all …

Lesson Learned #MFRWauthor

Hello Everyone! This is my second time doing the #MFRWauthor challenge. As you can imagine I stay pretty busy working on client items, so my own writing gets the second part of my time (well maybe 6^th or 10^thpart). Also, if you notice this blog is on my Blogger Site and not PersonalizedMarketing Inc’s. Kind of had an ‘oh’ moment and realized these belong here.

I found this topic to spark an idea in both my writing and working career. I started Personalized Marketing Inc a few years after getting my first two books published and I remember when I got the yes letters. It was a very exciting time and I was completely blown away that I had been accepted. We did the big celebration dinner, got a new laptop, even had a few book signing/reading events.

However, I also learned some pretty hard knocks as well when it happened. I turned down offers that I now later regret… Who knew ‘they’ would get so big??? When my first book was originally released it did not get many things that I later learned it should have. I signed a contract without first understanding one, I got a crash course into marketing and what it meant being an author.

The positive spin is that I learned about writing more, that everyone needs an editor, and found my calling. There is oh so much more work after the words “The End” are written and some of the …

Gardening? Yes, Please! #MFRWauthor

Hi Everyone! I am new to the writing prompts but have been avidly writing on marketing advice on this blog for a few years now. Recently La Roe’s my first novel was re-released, and we are currently working on the second book Fay’s Wish. As someone who works in marketing, I love the term organic growth, as a new homeowner and the granddaughter of a farmer, I love gardening, this year I get to do both!

This season we started our first garden in my new home and though tilling the soil was hard work, the rewards are so worth it. The vegetables have been planted and yesterday we picked our first two tomatoes. We also seem to have some sort of berry bush in the yard as well. Not sure yet what it is, reminds me of maybe a blackberry or raspberry gone wild so will just have to wait and see.

While waiting for time to plant, we went out and found the seeds we wanted, mapped out the area, and then talked about how fun it was going to be. We also found a couple of rose bushes already on the property, so began trimming on them some, and just basically got ready for the upcoming season. Now that the season is on us, each day my granddaughters and I go out with our little buckets and water the garden. They love being helpful, plus it gives them a lifelong memory …
