THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO ROCK THE BOAT…

“Sizzling shipboard romance–Jody throws caution to the wind as she lets go of her inhibitions and indulges in one magnificent week of pleasure. Passions surge, lovers tangle and two lives will never be the same again.”

Before Jody Carter and her three best friends ever set foot aboard the luxury cruise ship, Jody falls into the arms of uber hunky celebrity guest Taggart Keith, when he saves her shoe from falling to the depths of the sea. Their attraction is undeniable, but the recently divorced single mom knows the last thing she needs is to complicate her life in just seven short days. But that’s exactly what happens when Jody  throws caution to the wind for once in her life and gives into a week of sensational pleasures.  Taggart helps her discover her more sensual side–one tantalizing night at a time.

Ten things I wish I knew before I was published:

1. Getting the book written would turn out to be the easy part.

2. My editors will become an invaluable resource in my career.
3. I will have to write 10x as fast once published to keep up with deadlines.

4. Other authors will be amazingly generous to me as a new author and continue to be a pretty awesome group of people who become friends through this new “job” of mine.
5. Attending conferences, meeting agents, editors and other authors, was worth the price, in both time and money, pre publication.

6. The thrill a good review would bring. Validation at last! (A bad review. Not so much. 
Bad reviews will happen, not everyone can love my book as I do. Must learn to shrug it off and grow a pair.

7. Mr. Deveaux would often get a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner, if he was lucky. He wouldn’t learn to cook despite my absence from the kitchen and the sporadic grocery shopping I would do when under deadline. Despite all this, I wouldn’t lose weight!

8. When you say you’re a writer, people always are intrigued and ask questions. Guaranteed. And if you’re an erotic romance writer, the response is even more interesting!

9. Social media is more important than I ever imagined, before I was published.

10. They were all right when they said, “never give up.” Thank goodness I didn’t!
My career to publication took about seven years of serious writing, taking writing classes, attending RWA conferences, pitching to editors, and editing my various stories. It was a long haul and I learned so much from my fellow authors. When it all came together it was really worth all that hard work, I love what I do!
