Vad ska jag göra nu, då?

Det blev väldigt tomt efter novellen blivit klar. Har jobbat en hel del med marknadsföring de senaste två veckorna samt försökt hinna med min omtenta i vampyrfiktion. Tyvärr blev omtentan lidande, men jag ska skriva klart uppgiften, även om jag inte vet om jag får en till chans att lämna in. Det är för min egen sinnesfrids skull.

Nu till vad jag ska göra fram till NaNo i november. Vilket projekt ska jag peta i? Ska jag försöka slutföra romanceboken som jag skrev under NaNo förra året i hopp om att Harlequin även i år har en tävling som jag kan skicka in den till? Eller ska jag ta tag i förrförraårets NaNo? Eller fantasytrilogin? Eller min vampyr? Ugh, så många projekt och så lite tid. Den jag skrivit mest på och som är så gott som klar är ju förra årets nano-projekt som jag hade tänkt att skicka till Harlequin, men jag känner liksom inget sug till den texten, alls, just nu.

Jag tänkte att jag skulle passa på nu innan hypen med antologi-releasen kommer igång med facebook-partyn och bloggturnéer.

Hur väljer ni ut vilket projekt ni ska fokusera på? Eller har ni bara ett skrivprojekt åt gången? Har inte alla typ 50 börjor som ligger och skräpar i en mapp på datorn? Inte? Bara jag alltså...

Eve 'n' Steven - review

I recieved an ARC for this cute romance read from my collegue Suzie Jay. Eve 'n' Steven releases tomorrow 15th of August.

Eve Taylor decides it’s time to move on from the past. After all, she has a wonderful boyfriend, who came with two great children. She has a fantastic career, and has achieved all her personal goals and dreams.

To cut all ties to the past, she must return to the small rural town where she grew up, to sell her parents farm - a job she’s been putting off for a long time. She has no desire to go there, not when her boyfriend Grayson is spending time with the world’s most gorgeous movie star.

Then, there’s Steven. Everyone says they were destined to be together, but Eve didn't love him that way. She’s been avoiding him and his feelings for her for years. But when Grayson unexpectedly dumps her over the phone, Eve reconsiders. Could Steven really be her destiny? Can he fix her parents crumbling farm, and mend Eve’s broken heart too?

Eve 'n' Steven is the second book in the series All About Eve, following the first Merry Christmas, Eve, which I haven't read yet.

In the beginning I'm actually taken aback by Eve's hostility toward Steven, this straight up decent guy who's been helping her without her even asking, or knowing about it. And I feel more for him than I do for her, especially after reading the blurb. But as the book progresses I kind of get why she is the way she is.

It's a nice read, and explores what happens when you seek out your past, and where it may take you.

Cover Reveal, Beyond the Friend Zone

Det är dags. Dags att visa upp det fina omslaget till Writing Wenches antologi Beyond the Friend Zone. För tidigare delar av omslaget, kika in till Sheri och Anna.

Min novell Hannah's Folly är nummer tre av de nio berättelserna i antologin. Den handlar om Hannah som har hållit sig borta från kärlek större delen av sitt liv.

Kärlek är omständligt och hon kan inte låta kärleken förstöra hennes perfekt organiserade liv. Hon lever för sina listor och sitt företag. När hennes bästa vän ber henne att vara brudtärna tillika bröllopsplanerare tvingas Hannah jobba tillsammans med Jake, hennes barndomsvän. Jake har vuxit upp till en attraktiv, men hemlighetsfull man. Ändå är han den enda som till fullo förstår Hannah. Är han värd risken att hennes liv blir oorganiserat?


Så, här kommer del tre av vårt omslagsavslöjande!

Baksidetext:
It’s an age old story; you start as friends but end up lovers. There’s just something about the trope that we readers love to read, and we writers love to write.

That is why for our new anthology, The Writing Wenches bring you a whole book of short stories that follow the friends to lovers path.

 We have sweet stories and spicy stories, and everything in between. Though these are not just any romance shorts, when given our theme, many of us went quirky. We ended up with nine authors guaranteed to make you fall in love with their new characters and their quirky styles.

Beyond the Friend Zone finns att förbeställa från och med idag. Gört ba'. Annars går det bra att vänta till 5e september då den publiceras.

Vi har även en utlottning där du kan vinna en härlig presentkorg innehållande bland annat ett $25 presentkort hos Amazon och e-böcker skrivna av några av oss Wenches.

För att se nästa del av omslaget, kika in hos Kay om ca en timme!

Cover Reveal part 3! #beyondthefriendzone

It's that time. The time to reveal the cover of the awesome Writing Wenches Anthology Beyond the Friend Zone. Before me you should have visited Sheri and Anna to get the first two glimpses of this beautiful cover.

And now you're here with me. My novella Hannah's Folly is the third of the nine stories in the anthology. It's about Hannah who's shied away from dating for most of her life.

Love is messy, and she cannot afford to mess up her perfectly organized life. She lives for her lists and work. When her best friend asks her to be the maid of honor and wedding planner, Hannah finds herself working side by side with Jake, her childhood friend. Jake has grown attractive but secretive, yet he gets Hannah in a way that no one else does. Is he worth the risk of letting her life get messy?


So without further ado, I give you part three in our cover reveal!
