The Art of Reading and ALHS is on PREORDER!
July 26, 2007 by Melissa
I have been trying out a new genre for me as I finish up and polish The Seduction of Widow McEwan. It is part of the Leather and Lace anthology coming from Samhain Publishing, and will include two great established western authors, Beth Williamson and Becka Goings. I have enjoyed it thus far but I did have one problem, one problem I always have when I am writing. I start worrying about how it will turn out, if it will be long enough, does the plot work? When I freak out, I tend to have writer’s block. It never lasts long, but for a control freak Capricorn like me, it makes me panic just a little. But, yesterday, I did get a little help from Nora Roberts.
No, I did not call her, because she doesn’t know who the hell I am. But, because of our strange Texas weather this year, I couldn’t be on the computer. I live in a house that is over 70 years old, and I really don’t trust the wiring(although the military assures me it is all perfect, lol). But with lightening in our area, I decided to shut down and read. I had Roberts’ newest book, High Noon , that I had started the night before (I am a bedtime reader. I need to read to sleep).
Typical of Roberts, it was great. As I spent the day locked with Phoebe and her struggle against a nutjob after her and her family, I let my worries slip away. This morning, I am fired up and ready to go. All I needed was a little escape and I guess that is all we want from books. Just a little time in another world away from our own. If you are a Roberts’ fan, this one is fantastic. I loved the hero to pieces and she does a fantastic job capturing the essence of Savannah.
I am off to work on my widow and her younger man. Be sure to check out my next print release that is now on preorder here at amazon! A Little Harmless Sex is the first of my Harmless books to be in print and a former international ebook best seller:)
