To celebrate the release of LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN, for the first time ever, SHE BELONGS TO ME is only 99 cents!

LAND OF THE NOONDAY SUN

When two strangers have nothing left but their dreams, they must forge a relationship in Nantahala, North Carolina, a small town known as Land of the Noonday Sun.

Land of the Noonday Sun will be out next week, so to celebrate, and because we have a surprise for our readers, we are offering She Belongs to Me for the first time ever at only .99 cents.

But wait, there’s more. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) Because, there really is more. If you love She Belongs to Me enough that you’ll want to read Land of the Noonday Sun, AND are one of our first fifty reviewers, comment to this post with the permalink to your review, and we’ll “gift” you Land of the Noonday Sun, as soon as it releases.

So, what are you waiting for? Go get it. Oh, I know. A brief description…here you go:

SHE BELONGS TO ME

After secrets and a mysterious background leave a wife’s life hanging by a thread, a husband must look for answers in the only place he knows—the past.

She Belongs to Me has a 4.7 average rating, and here’s what readers are saying:

“I love a book that keeps me guessing until the last page.” Anna M. Pitt | 11 reviewers made a similar statement

“I'm a romance junkie and highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a wonderful love story.” P.J. Storm | 9 reviewers made a similar statement

“I attribute this to her great cast of supporting characters.” Karen DeLabar | 7 reviewers made a similar statement

She Belongs to Me is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble in ebook and paperback.

Land of the Noonday Sun will be out next week, but you can sample the first chapter and a few excerpts here.

Both novels are true romantic-suspense stories that will keep you guessing until the end. They are sensual, but not erotic; gripping, but not graphic.

I love talking about all things books, so please feel free to connect with me:

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

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

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

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