Release Date: May 22, 2018 Cover Design: MadHat Books Synopsis All I wanted to do was run my bookstore, forget my failed marriage, and escape my past. But life on a tiny island makes that tough, especially when rumors are swirling that Justin Albott, famous mystery writer and my first love, is returning to the island. I've watched his career. Stocked my bookstore with hardcovers that bear his glossy photo. There seems to be two sides to his personality. The online persona, who smiles when prompted, and the one that I remember—the thief of hearts. The one who just walked into my store and crooked that familiar grin. We’ve both changed over the years. I'm no longer married, and he's no longer the boy who left me behind. I’d give anything to know why he's really come back and if that kiss between us was real.   Goodreads http://bit.ly/2GHOJBG Pre-Order NOW on iBooks https://apple.co/2nFCR7S   Excerpt Running my hands through my hair, I look u...

Crap, where did June and July go? It's time for the August edition of Insecure Writers Support Group where we share our fears and successes. Thanks to Alex Cavanaugh and this month's co-hosts! Co-Hosts: Christine Rains Dolarah @ Book Lover Ellen @ The Cynical Sailor Yvonne Ventresca LG Keltner IWSG Question: What are your pet peeves when reading / writing / editing? After working with professional editors for seven novels, I've become a stickler for grammar and spelling. One word I see consistently misspelled (even in traditionally published novels) is BLOND. My editor taught me that the only time to use the spelling BLONDE is describing a female as a noun.  The sassy blonde approached me. When using blond as an adjective (or as a noun for a blond man), THERE IS NO E!!! The sassy, blond woman approached me. I fell for the blond dude in a heartbeat. Holy Leo DeCaprio, he's hot! I fell for that blond in a heartbeat. ...

Welcome to February's edition of Insecure Writers Support Group, the brainchild of Alex Cavanaugh. Hop on board at Alex's blog ! How was your January? I had to replace my furnace/AC/water heater and let's just say I'm relieved I don't have to survive on my measly author income after getting  that   bill. Luckily the system died when we had unseasonably warm temperatures in Ohio. Are you ready for Singles Awareness Day on February 14th? February Question: How has being a writer changed your experience as a reader? Positive change: A greater appreciation for well-written books. Negative change: Less enjoyment of many books. Before starting as a writer, I didn't notice misspellings (like blond/blonde) or excessive verbiage. In the past, I skipped over cliches and telling instead of showing. Now those errors disgust me. I feel fortunate fellow authors had the patience to read my debut novel, considering all my fledgling writer mistakes. I just re-e...

Use Somebody is Beck Anderson's newest Hollywood standalone! Now Available! Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2d4HqXd Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/2cZYI6E iBooks: http://apple.co/2cKTpKn Nook: http://bit.ly/2cHJW3j Kobo: http://bit.ly/2cmzriH I loved the third book in the Fix You series and give it FIVE STARS! Review to come. Blurb Jeremy King, Hollywood über-agent to the stars, knows that sharks gotta swim. He’s one of them, after all. He’s never met a deal he couldn’t strike or an argument he couldn’t win. LA is his kind of town—they both never stop moving. So when his friend and client, movie star Andrew Pettigrew, invites him on a “man-cation” to the wilds of Idaho for a little fly-fishing, Jeremy’s not so sure. He might not have cell service. There’s no way there’ll be any supermodels to woo. And his idea of the great outdoors is a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway in his Tesla Model S—moose definitely do not factor into the picture. Fitting ...

I want you to get "stuck" in the story and hope you think it's a "good" book! Blocked is a New Adult sports romance. College freshman Lucia Ramirez has a secret crush on Dane Monroe. He’s a tall drink of water — blond, brash, and one hell of a volleyball player. ¡Híjole! Lucia hopes her volleyball scholarship to his school will make him notice her. Too bad what’s noticeable is Dane’s obvious hatred for Lucia. Her family’s politics contradict everything he stands for. And politics are front and center in both their families. Dane’s mother is about to face Lucia’s father in the race for US President. When Secret Service throws them together, Dane can’t deny his frustrating attraction to Lucia’s athletic curves and sweet faith in the world. Amid the intense pressure of college athletics and president...
