Secret Heart, Chapter 5 and Book Cover

Secret Heart Cover 2

I finally made my book cover for Secret Heart. I picked this photo because it shows how Ashleigh and Luke met.

I’m also going to upload Chapter 5 of Secret Heart – just for the heck of it and because I can.

Secret Heart will be online at Amazon Kindle Books by the end of the week, and I’m excited to see how it might go with a new marketing strategy.

Be sure to pick up a Kindle Fire, 6 inch, glare-free with WiFi if you want to read Secret Heart in full. Continue reading

Secret Heart, Chapters 3 and 4

Sunset 9-18-15

 

While I prepare my soon-to-be-published book cover, please enjoy Chapters 3 and 4 of my romantic intrigue novel entitled Secret Heart.

Secret Heart is going online in the next couple of weeks, and will only be available on Amazon Kindle at the moment. At a later point, I may opt to put out a hard copy of the book.

Please remember, this is a romantic intrigue with some spicy language at some points, so I would suggest keeping the age at no younger than 18 years old to be on the safe side.

If you like romance and intrigue, feel free to try out this blog and the two before it to see if you might be interested in my book.

Also, you might want to remember to check out the Widget in the left-hand corner drop down lines, where you can find a link to Amazon’s Kindle Fire, 6-inch, glare-free e-reader. I love my 6-inch Fire, except for it’s an older model and isn’t glare-free. I highly recommend it.

Enjoy reading. Continue reading

This obviously isn’t a photo of my book cover for Secret Heart. I haven’t gotten that made yet. This is a photo of one of the most beautiful missions in the area. The inside is just as lovely, if not more so, than the outside.

Chapter 2 of my romantic intrigue entitled Secret Heart is attached here for those who want to read it. I really enjoyed writing this book and hope people enjoy reading it. Secret Heart isn’t a thought-provoking book, rather it’s one I wrote simply to entertain.

As always, please feel free to comment if you want. There is a comment section to the left at the top of this page.

Secret Heart, A Romantic Intrigue Excerpt

Please support our troops, and remember all our fallen military on this and every Memorial Day.

Please support our troops, and remember our fallen military on this Memorial Day and every day.

 

The first chapter of my romantic intrigue entitled Secret Heart is on my website today. The novel features a young British woman who runs away from her fiancé due to his illegal dealings. Ashleigh Prescott comes to America and hides on an Oklahoma ranch owned by Luke Bradford, the brother of her cousin’s fiancee. While Ashleigh lives in a cabin on Luke’s ranch, they grow close. Will Scotland Yard detectives find her in time to keep her safe from her ex-fiancé? Will she be able to leave Luke to keep him safe?

This is the next novel I hope to put up on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, so please feel free to read it and give me any feedback you would like. I’m extremely interested in what my friends and family have to say so I can make any adjustments to the storyline I feel are good ideas.

Because I love my Kindle eReader and because I publish digitally on Kindle Direct Publishing, I decided to become an Amazon Associate and promote different Kindle eReaders on my site. I’m currently trying to figure out how to do it so it will link through the Amazon Affiliate program, but so far I’m not having much luck. For now I’ll have to settle for linking by my old method. Kindle eReader, 6″ Glare-free with WiFi. This link will take you to Amazon.com, in particular the eReader. BUT if you go to the upper left-hand corner of this site, you will see a drop-down menu. If you click the link there, I will get credit if you decide to purchase the eReader.

Please keep reading for Chapter 1 of my romantic intrigue novel entitled Secret Heart.

Book Preparation

Bird of Paradise

Bird of Paradise

This past week I worked on book preparation, getting my own project (set in Hawaii) prepped to go online at Amazon KDP. Unfortunately, I don’t think Danger in Paradise is quite ready for publication, and I want to ruminate on it for a few weeks. Instead, I will work on preparation of another book I have that I think would be ready sooner.

The next book I will review for possible preparation and publication is another romantic intrigue, this one set in the Badlands of South Dakota. I can’t wait to go through it again because I was so into it when I originally wrote it several years ago. Now that I have a clear mind about Badlands Ridge, I hope I can get it in shape to publish.

I also have a possible ghostwriting project on which I need to consult with the client.  As soon as I can do that, I will put my own book preparation on hold and work on ghostwriting. This job could be on-going and is a serial set in the Old West, my favorite.

So things are picking up here in Arizona. I have plenty of writing, editing and book preparation to keep me busy for a while.
