Well, they are predicting a big chill for this coming weekend up here in the North West of England and as I am currently working on a Christmas story to submit to Total-E-Bound I am feeling in quite a wintry mood.
So, if you’re cuddling up and stoking up the fires pick up one of my wintry titles to keep you warm until the spring weather finds it’s way back to us!
Here’s a perfect, long read to enjoy with a hot cuppa and a comforting slice of cake.
Making it Real.
He’s her secret fantasy, but what will happen between them in reality?
Mary loves the Internet but is surprised to find herself falling in love over it. Will is a mysterious American and Mary is thrilled to find out he’s coming over to England, and amazed when he wants to meet with her. But will the heat that freely flows from monitor to monitor be present in the cold reality of Manchester in winter?
Here’s an Excerpt to get you warmed up!
“I was intrigued to find he was significantly younger than the thirty years stated in the forum name. He’d stumbled across the forum while researching something for his latest company. He was a whiz kid, a successful businessman and a sharp debater; my complete opposite. I waited tables in a local café to make ends meet whilst I pretended to have a career in writing. I was getting stories published, but I wasn’t challenging JK Rowling is the sales stakes.
I couldn’t get the guy out of my mind and, as we’d barely interacted, it was kind of worrying. I logged off the internet and attempted to concentrate on the novel I was working on at the time. As I tapped away at my laptop keys I found myself placing William’s features on the character I was writing. The scene twisted into something completely unsuitable for a non-erotic historical romance.
“Why Sir, you flatter me.” She giggled and hid behind her fan.
“But you are the most beautiful and desirous female here.” he replied, his dark, almost black eyes fixing her in their gaze. “I want you, Mary and I want you now. Right here on this dining table. Push away the cutlery, candlesticks and napkins and lie down for me, whilst I undo all your layers and bury my face in the sweet musky smell of your muff.”
“Snap out of it!” I yelled out loud. I highlighted and deleted the erotic paragraph. I stared at the blank space for a good fifteen minutes before I gave up, switched off and went to bed. He was in my mind even as I lay under the heavy duvet. Each time I closed my eyes I saw that big, knowing smile. What does he know? I wondered and imagined he knew I was there, lying naked in my bed.”

Brenda Talley at The Romance Studio had this to say about my first Novel, Making it Real: LadyUK was a fabulously written character as was her love interest, William. The two not only captured my heart, they were explained in such a way to grab the most skeptical reader. Obviously I loved this book. The [...]
