With A Kiss, I Die

Thank you for clicking! I hope you enjoy. ***** “Love isn’t cut and dry. I mean, there are different types of love.”  She rolled her eyes, smiled a little. “I know that, Ben. But, you are a writer. If someone asked you to write love, what would you write?” Jesus. He hadn’t even beenContinue reading “With A Kiss, I Die”

Meet Benjamin Strickland

He’ll be your newest book beau. He’s a journalist so that means he’s witty and passionate. He’s funny and relatable. He’s also not used to not getting the girl having classically handsome features. No copyright intended. I would have tagged image credits but I…forgot…what was I supposed to be writing again? Ben’s the rare redheadContinue reading “Meet Benjamin Strickland”

With A Kiss #3

Studying behavior only worked when he understood the context of someone’s background, environment, or aspirations. With Roux, none of that applied, so he spent time watching her. He could waste hours watching her, both because he liked doing it and because he was looking for a way in. A way for her to trust him.Continue reading “With A Kiss #3”

Writing 101: Welcome to the Classroom – A Quick Tip in Dialogue

In my editing journey, here is something I have seen often: Jane shrugged and told him, “I can’t go.” She looked at him and said, “I don’t trust you.” He raised his hand and asked, “When it the homework due?” But did you know actions can often stand on their own in dialogue? Dialogue canContinue reading “Writing 101: Welcome to the Classroom – A Quick Tip in Dialogue”

With A Kiss #2

With A Kiss – No: 2 Preorder Here Ben saw her hair first, tufts and curls of blue cotton candy, before the rest of her appeared. She was always wearing brown. The outfits changed—a dress, a midriff baring top and skirt—but they were always brown. She looked naked until she was close enough for himContinue reading “With A Kiss #2”

The Woman He Wanted… I’m having a moment.

This book was like an unexpected gem. The response to it was amazing. Ridiculous, but in a good way. And the cover is bananas. I think this was when I realized, for the first time, my reviews were legit and I could really make not only myself, but readers happy by simply doing something I’veContinue reading “The Woman He Wanted… I’m having a moment.”

Writing 101 – Welcome to the classroom: Character Development

Quick Tip: Never forget about character development when you’re writing a story. You can’t create a character that’s an entire a$$hole and then make a post on Facebook or IG about removing negative people from your life. Remove them from your story unless they serve a purpose (advancing the plot, growth device, etc). -Love-n-Lit

Julien

I’m really liking how this story is coming along. I believe we have found a rhythm. Note: This ain’t sweet. What is your preference: Sweet romance or Suspenseful romance?

Julien Meets Ari

#noreleasedateyet She looked away again, hiding another smile. “Wow. You’re like something straight from a romance novel.” “Charming?” “Corny…as…hell.” A laugh, deeper this time, rumbled from the pits of Julien’s stomach. “What do I call you?” They walked toward her table, her arm secured in his elbow while her opposite handContinue reading “Julien Meets Ari”

With A Kiss #1

Coming March 1st When Ben came to, he remembered everything…much to his chagrin. It was another thing that made him a good journalist. His brain and memory worked better under duress than most. So the minute he opened his eyes, he flinched and searched for the cat, and immediately registered that he was no longerContinue reading “With A Kiss #1”
