Writing Update

I've been working on two projects, "Masquerade for a Billionaire," and "Club Sunshine." I've never worked on projects simultaneously, so I'm not sure how this will work. So far, I've been able to add words to both projects each day. I'm afraid that both first drafts will be train wrecks, but it's better to have something to edit than to have a blank page, right?

I'm always optimistic I'll finish projects much sooner than I actually do. I am seriously in awe of all of these writers who can put out a book every month or so. I just can't do that. I love to write. I spend time writing every day, but I cannot write very fast. My mind isn't creative enough to be that fast, I guess.

Here are my goals for 2019:

Finish and publish Masquerade for a Billionaire.
Finish and find an agent for Club Sunshine.
Begin a new romance, Flipping for Love (part of my Reunion Romance novella series).
Research and outline a new romance series set in a bridal boutique.

Birthday Boy

My son turned 18 a few days ago. 18! That just blows my mind. I keep thinking there is some trick to slowing down time and being able to enjoy it more, but I haven't found it yet. And this is kid #8. Not sure how I'm old enough to have 8 adult children. Just saying that makes me want to run screaming because that means I. Am. Old.

How can I be 25 in my head but when I look in the mirror I just see an old lady looking back at me?

I digress.

We celebrated my son's birthday with a special breakfast, a special dinner, ice cream, and some gifts. But my favorite part of our birthday tradition is that we go around the table (or room) and each person shares their favorite things about the birthday boy or girl. It's a great time to make note of all the wonderful things about that child and it allows the other kids to think about what they love about their sibling. Some times, I get a little teary listening to what the kids say. I just want all my kids to love each other!

Happy Birthday to this kid. He is such a light in my life. He makes me smile. He is such a hard worker and he never complains or asks if he can get out of work. He is tender-hearted and thoughtful. He is always looking out for me and even opens my doors for me whenever we are together. He isn't afraid to share his beliefs, but he is kind as he does so. He is full of love for the Savior. I am so thankful for him.

What I'm Writing--It May Surprise You

Last year, I had hopes of writing several books. I wrote and published two, On Deck for Love and Wedding Weekend. Before I could get started on another one, it was summer break and we headed to Colorado to see family and friends and to clean out our house there.

I spent the summer cleaning out that house and then figuring out what to do with all the stuff when I came back to Texas. We were thrilled when the house sold, and on the day we signed the papers, we found out my husband was losing his job of 29 years. Yep, 29 years. A job that we thought we'd have--and counted on--until retirement. And we moved our family to Texas, away from all our extended family and friends and the home and property that we'd built and improved ourselves in Colorado, to keep this job with its benefits. But that didn't happen and once we found out he was losing his job, my husband and I spent the next few months trying to figure out finances and where to go from there, so my writing took a back seat.

We eventually decided to open our own business in hopes of doing IT contract work. It seems to be picking up and we're hopeful it will be successful. (If you know any companies in need of outsourcing IT work or in need of customized software to help with their business processes to be more efficient and more profitable, let me know)

After getting through the holidays and enjoying all of my kids and gorgeous grandkids, I decided it was time to get back to writing, because writing brings me joy. I may not have recognizable, bestselling books or be a household name, but I love to create stories. I've been working on a romance with a billionaire--I know, that market seems flooded right now, but I'm hoping to gain some new readers who still enjoy this sub-genre.

But then there's this other story that just keeps circling my mind. Not a romance. Not even an adult story. It's a middle grade story--and I don't really write middle grade. I read it, but I'm not well-versed in the writing aspects. But this story keeps popping into my head. I can hear the voices and see the characters. All the "problems" I saw with writing it seem to be melting away. Each day that I walk my son to school, new scenes and bits of dialogue come to me. So, I'm going to try to write it. It's tentatively called Club Sunshine. If you know me and some of my passions, you might be able to figure out the main plot of the story, but I'm not going to say anything else right now. Not until I get the rough draft done.

Then I'll be in search of an agent. so if you know any agents who are interested in middle grade fiction, send them my way :).

Thanks for reading!

Love and Light,
Rebecca

Opposites may attract, but can they stand each other once they do?

There are two things event planner Geo Polson will not do. She won't plan weddings, and she will not date. No exceptions.

But when his best friend forces him to help plan a bachelor party, he doesn't expect to be smitten by the feisty wedding planner.

Geo's already broken one cardinal rule at the behest of her bestie. There's no way she's going to so much as bend another. But Trig isn't easily dissuaded, and he's made it his business to help Geo relax and have some fun.

Will he heal Geo's wounded heart, or are her rules the only thing keeping her safe?

The Cupid Caper

  

Amanda Marsh is in love with love. As a high school English teacher, she is surrounded by poetry and classic literature, including the love stories written by her favorite author, William Shakespeare. She knows she’ll never find anything as romantic as the stories that have stood the test of time, so she’s settled on having a crush on chemistry teacher Luke Baker from afar. 

Luke Baker left behind his career as a research chemist in order to share a love of science with students. And he’s about to make his pet project a reality as the curriculum lead for the district’s new specialized science and technology academy. 

When a poem shows up on his desk drawing him into The Cupid Caper, the Valentine’s Day-themed dance and fundraiser for Port Provident High School’s Student Council, Luke dismisses the whole thing as a silly game. But after he realizes that winning the grand prize is the one way he can help a star student attend the new STEM Academy, he decides to play along. 

Paired together, the hopeless romantic English teacher and the logical chemistry teacher both realize that The Cupid Caper is more than a game, but neither can tell the other their feelings are no joke. 

Luke is moving on to a role that can make or break his career. Relationships aren't in his (lesson) plans, and Amanda refuses to make her feelings known with Luke on his way out the door to his new school. 

When an education in happily-ever-after is on the line, will a man whose life has been ruled by the scientific method and a woman who quotes sonnets miss the mark, or will Cupid’s arrow finally ring true? 

If you’re in love with sweet love stories that will make you smile as you swoon, The Cupid Caper is your perfect match. Buy it today and get to know Amanda and Luke.
