Taboo And Me . . .
So yeah . . .
I had a bunch of stories swimming around in my head and was lost as to where to start. I showed my darling hubby the list and his response was immediate.
He wanted me to write a story about a single dad, who wants to reclaim his twenties. So I did that for him and it resulted in the story Taboo For You.
The idea was inspired partly from my own family--a couple of whom know what it's like to have kids in their teens, and who have worked/are working their asses off to get somewhere in life. One went from a school drop-out to becoming a single mom, working to scrape together enough for the family, and then going back to uni to study and eventually earn a PhD. She is such an inspiration to me. I see her and know that if I really want something, and am willing to work for it, I can get places too. She is extremely successful now, and I'm so proud to be her daughter.
While writing this, I was hoping that things might turn out so well for a sibling of mine who is going through a similar life trial. So I wanted the book to be hopeful and light, and full of that wonderful fantasy that is the HEA.
With the help of my amazing editing team, Teresa Crawford, Lynda Lamb, HJS Editing, and my beta readers we made that book happen. Thank you guys so much! There was one particular Skype call that really steered me on track for this story when I got to the 'shit-where-is-this-story-going?-It's-all-crap' stage. So, cheers, Teresa.
Yeah, so that's about it. Though I'll add that this is the start of a "friends-to-lovers" series (or in some cases ex-friends-to-lovers), and all stories will be standalone.
For a chance to win a free electronic copy of the book, check out my website and leave a comment giving your opinion on one of the following questions. (Interpret as you like.)
In your opinion . . . What draws you in to a romance book? What makes a romance story a satisfying read?
(All names will be put into my son's old Halloween hat on Friday 12th of June, and he'll have the honors fishing for the winner.)
:D
