How you B? xo ;) Far far away friend, ho...Jemina V! How you B? xo ;) Far far away friend, how've you been? I'm so grateful for Eva (thanks Eva for the surprise best week ever because I'm so happy you all are here a swell as for All Books Considered sniff sniff for doing this post. I don't usually end up back on blogs chatting but I'm in procrastinate mode (but yes, after this I'm going to write because it seems there are now 5 whole people aside from my mom waiting for book two now which is a ton of pressure for doubt-demon me to grapple with. I shall have to only delete half of the book instead of the whole thing before getting it done this time--This is why I'm here still chatting because we all know I'm so good at that because it is much easier than actually writing--you both know how I am--ha-- JV same for you if you all don't win the book, you know where I am if you've ever got the time, I'd be honored of course to send you anything you want as you both hold already huge chunks of my heart. Eva, also for the winner when I send, I've made up these cool glass necklaces with my daughter--they match the beach glass Cam had mailed to Ellen at the end of the story--so if it's a US winner, ok...fine US/EU winner...then I can send that along with the book. We've put them in little boxes or bags (depends on where it's got to ship) and stuffed them full of tiny paper-thin leaves and glitter and we're calling them 'First Kiss in A Box'! Sigh...I know it's dorky of me to have made them but it was so fun...and oh, are they hippie-cute should you guys want one--Eva I can send one just as a hug if you ever see this. xo xo :) #loveUz.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573797994736929608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392313794653452735.post-75921636110111945772014-09-19T08:17:37.988-07:002014-09-19T08:17:37.988-07:00Jess! Thanks so much for reading Almost, and for t...Jess! Thanks so much for reading Almost, and for taking the time to tell me you liked it (means so much esp. when the reader is a blogger because you all are so well read and busy (plus I'm sure you have oceans of tempting books on the Kindle waiting to read next) so it's cool that you took the time to say 'hi' at all. I'm attracted to the harder issues simply because we all seem to be walking around with them inside of us. Some are more hidden than others, some came via fate or harsh experiences, but all of these issues cause us to battle, fight or flight--all of us have things that have altered how we think, changed how we trust, messed with how we love or can't seem to love or accept ourselves/or lives how we should. Of course I'm always in it for the love story--the build up to that very first real kiss is my drug in writing and in reading. I personally adore first love and how scary it is to truly trust enough to deeply fall for someone who also loves you back where it's rather easy to fall for the guy who you know won't love you back. (Hence all those bad boys, right?) If the characters are working through issues, and if they aren't sure they even know how to love or accept themselves quite yet--and especially when the characters are more frightened to go for it because they know what pain and disappointment already feels like thanks to the roads they've already walked--oh that kind of story makes me swoon when finally the couple has that kiss...so that's what I strive to write. And that's why it takes me so long--because I'm wounded and have major issues too--and I never think it's quite right enough-- ;) xo off to type and delete a whole bunch of pages today xo I'd be honored to send you a copy of How I Fall if ever interested or have the time. xo :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573797994736929608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392313794653452735.post-27143318771551874712014-09-19T00:19:45.911-07:002014-09-19T00:19:45.911-07:00I've been lax in picking up a copy of this boo...I've been lax in picking up a copy of this book Anne!

What draws you to write "tough issues" books (with a hint of romance of course!)
