Erin Dovetree cannot forgive her father for cheating on her
mother years ago and has sworn off men altogether. That is until destiny leads
her to her grandmother’s incredibly attractive and mysterious landlord.
William Abbott has lived for over a hundred years, cursed
with a static and unnatural existence as punishment for his past sins. Although
drawn to the lovely and intelligent Erin, he refuses to subject her to the fate
that is his alone to bear.
As Erin pieces together the story of Will’s past and
discovers the true cause of his timeless existence, she must reconsider the
judgments she has made in her own life. And to have any chance at a life
together, she and Will must find answers to the questions that have plagued
them both.

Excerpt:
“Erin?”
Erin jumped at the sound of Will’s
voice and turned away from the dumpster she had been staring at to look at him.
“Will! You scared the crap out of me!”
She tried to surreptitiously wipe the
tears that had wet both her cheeks, but she knew it was obvious she’d been
crying.
She cleared her throat and
straightened her back. “You didn’t have to come out here. And you didn’t have
to listen to my grandmother if she was the one who told you to follow me. I’m
fine.”
Even to Erin’s own ears the pain and
self-pity in her voice was as clear as a bell. How pathetic she was, a grown
woman—an attorney at a high-priced law firm— crying next to a dumpster over
getting her feelings hurt by her thoughtless father. It was a wonder Will could
even bear to look at her.
Almost in response to her thoughts,
Will took a few steps closer, until he was standing just inches away. “Nobody
told me to follow you. I was worried about you.”
“Well, I’m fine,” she snapped. “I’m
not a child. Despite how my father might speak to me. I can handle myself. I
don’t need you to feel sorry for me.”
Her voice cracked, betraying her
emotions, and she looked up into Will’s eyes to gauge his reaction. All she saw
was kindness and genuine compassion.
“I’m sorry.” She sighed, tears
welling up once again. “You were being nice, and I’m being a jerk. You should
go back and eat. I’ll come inside in a minute. I just needed to calm down. I’m
fine now.”
Will reached up with both hands to
touch the hair that fell on either side of her face. Erin’s breath caught in
her chest as his warm fingers innocently brushed the tips of her ears.
“I like your hair down,” he said in a
low voice. Then he touched her lips briefly with the pad of his index finger.
“And I like your lipstick. But I have to admit I like it when you wear your
hair up, too, and when you’re not wearing any lipstick at all.”
“Maybe you’re just easy to please,”
she whispered, feeling on the verge of passing out.
“Maybe you’re just
beautiful.”

Guest Post - What advice would you give an aspiring writer?
1.
Read a lot. Reading the type of books you
want to write is like studying (but much more fun). Think about what you like
that the author is doing, why a certain scene is impactful, or why the pacing
is exciting. That will help you know what you need to do in your own work to
achieve the same effect.
2.
Write a lot. Just keep writing. When you
think your book is going to be amazing, write. When you think you’re never
going to make it as an author, write. When one book gets rejected by dozens of
agents and publishers, start writing another book (then go back to the original
book later). You will not improve your craft if you do not keep writing, and
you cannot help but improve if you do.
3.
Ask for feedback from other authors in your
genre. Getting words of praise on your writing from your sister or mother
or best friend is nice, but it’s not going to help you grow as a writer. You
need to find others who write in your genre and are willing to read your work
and provide comments. Join a writer’s organization or enter a writing contest
that provides feedback on your submission. The best thing I did was to spend $1
to enter a raffle for a critique of the first 50 pages of my historical romance
Soothsayer from best-selling romance author Haywood Smith through the
Georgia Romance Writers. I won, and Ms. Smith gave me some amazing feedback and
tips. She even went so far as to allow me to send her the first 100 pages of my
re-write and gave me her comments on that, as well. It’s easy to recognize a
well-written book, but knowing why yours doesn’t sound like that
is not always so easy. Getting feedback from someone who actually knows what
they’re doing, though, can open your eyes to all the things you’re doing wrong,
and that’s a great way to improve your craft.
4.
Keep trying. Perseverance is the key to
achieving any dream. The people who succeed, at anything, are the people who
don’t give up, who keep moving forward. You’re going to have setbacks, you’re
going to have disappointments, you’re going to feel like you can’t do it, but
you have to keep going. I always tell myself, if all these other people can do
it, why not me? I firmly believe there is a time for everything, and success
will come when it is meant to, if you keep at it.
