Romance Writers Weekly ~ Where do you go for inspiration? ~ #LoveChatWrite

 

 

This week's Romance Writers Weekly question is: "Share a place where you go to find inspiration (museum, park, coffee shop, etc.). Why does it inspire you?"

Well, this question gave me something to think about! I like being outdoors--taking a walk by the ocean, or hiking through a grove of trees. It's invigorating and grounding and something about walking around thinking deeply about a story will make things almost magically fall into place. 

However, anything that magically falls into place, can also magically erase itself from your brain if you don't have any way to record it. So, sitting outside somewhere with a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of wine--and something to take notes on--is almost as inspiring and far less frustrating.

Unless the weather sucks--then it's coffee shops all the way.

Next, hop on over to  Leslie Hachtel's page and find out what she's been reading. And be sure and check out her book, Tied to Morocco. 

Lady Catherine was kidnapped and taken to Morocco. There, she fell in love with Tazim. But, just before they were to wed, Tazim disappeared and she was told he was dead. Forced into an unwanted marriage with another, she manages to escape and make her way home to England. But Tazim is not dead. Believing Catherine betrayed him, he has vowed to exact revenge.

Can they find each other again? Can their love be rekindled?

Christmas Angel

You’ve heard this story, or one just like it, a hundred times before. Cranky guy dies without learning the true meaning of Christmas, is turned into an angel, and sent back to earth in order to save some other poor schmuck from suffering the same unhappy fate.

Usually it’s billed as a romance, or a dramedy, perfect for a night of family fun. Which is ludicrous. Even Dickens, the man who invented cheesy Christmas stories, knew better than that. His Marley was clearly miserable, as who wouldn’t be in his situation?  Which, as it happens, is also my situation. 

Hi. My name is Jacob. I’m an angel. And this is my story. ​

Releases May 16, 2023 in the limited edition anthology Redemption: a Fallen Angels Paranormal Romance Collection available for pre-order now. https://books2read.com/b/br1JkE
