Dressed to kill, looking for love in all the wrong places. SPLIT DECISIONS

Sometimes you want something so badly you are willing to abandon everything you've ever known--including yourself.


This excerpt we start on chapter two of Split Decisions, but you can catch up here if you like; there’s a link that will bring you right back.

Excerpt:

From his vantage point on the restaurant’s second floor, he could see everything Caycee did. She was sitting alone, but she wouldn’t be for long. A new man had already noticed her and got up to make his move. It happened the same way every time. They’d see her, recognize her, and then move in for the kill. Of course, they could never appreciate the woman she was, the woman she could be if only she would recognize what true love was.
Yet here she sat, dressed to kill, looking for love in all the wrong places.

Split Decisions can be read as a stand-alone novel, but it's a follow-up story to the romantic-suspense bestseller She Belongs to Me.

    I really like the novel's tagline, Carmen. "Sometimes you want something so badly you are willing to abandon everything you've ever known--including yourself."

  4. Thank you, Teresa! As an author, you know those darn book blurbs are harder to write sometimes than the actual novel. So I appreciate your comment. :)

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...

"I’ll show you things that will take your breath away" Excerpt from 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 . Excerpt: As soon as he set her on the ground, she heard the waterfall. She gazed at the pounding waters as they fell over the rock and hit the stream below. “Wow, this is … so beautiful and so close, right off the road, near our house … amazing. He smiled. “This is nothing, Cassie, hardly anyone even comes here. I’ll show you some waterfalls and trails over the next few weeks that will take your breath away.” Cassandra couldn’t contain her smile or the feelings rushing through her veins. He wanted to show her his state. It was beautiful she realized, and the thought of discovering it with him made it even more exciting. She was certain he was correct about taking her breath away, but she was also sure it wouldn’t ju st be the wa terfalls. Land of the Noonday Sun is Book Three of t...
