A Contemporary Romance

Widowed at twenty-five, Sawyer Hartwell has no choice but to return to her hometown. Broke and alone, the intention was to heal and find herself again, but how can she heal in a place filled with so much sorrow and memories she yearns to forget?

Dean Preston has regretted leaving Willowhaven since the day he rode off on his motorcycle six years ago, destroying the only love he had ever known. Returning too late, he's found small comfort in a new life with Lily, but with Sawyer back he's not sure of anything anymore.

The time has come for Sawyer and Dean to face the past, to learn from their mistakes. The road to healing is paved with old wounds, each one threatening to tear them down completely. Carrying their own scars close to their hearts, they must both confront what's gone before or lose their second chance.

The measure of who we are is what we survive. Who we become is up to us.

Coming November 2013

The interview:

1.Please, tell us your name, the city you are born and the books you write.I’m Mindy Hayes and I was born in San Diego, California. I write YA fantasy and NA contemporary romance.

2. How did you become a writer?
English was always my favorite subject in school. Most likely because it was a subject I was actually good at. One day it sort of came to me that I wanted to be a writer. So, I turned to my husband and said, “I’m going to write a book.” He looked at me a little funny because I’d never been much of a reader or writer when we were dating or engaged, but he nodded and said, “Okay.”

3. Who inspired you to write?
It’s so cliché that I don’t even want to say it, but it was Stephenie Meyer...haha. I was never even much of a reader before I read Twilight. It sparked something inside of me. I pulled out my laptop nearly six years ago and have barely gone a day without writing since.

4. How old were you when you wrote the first book?
I was twenty-four when I finished Kaleidoscope, my first YA fantasy. Though, I wrote a several unpublishable books before that which will never see the light of day…haha.

5. Your favorite books?
Lots of people say picking a favorite book is too hard, but I have three that I could say hands down are my favorite. If I Stay by Gayle Forman, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and my all time favorite--On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta.

6. What inspired you to write Me After You?
It’s hard for me to answer this question without getting too personal, but sometimes in life certain things happen to us that we have no control over. It's how we react to those situations that make us into the people we are today. I went through a period of time where I questioned how I would ever be happy again and somewhere during that time Me After You was born.

7.Why did you write this book?
Sawyer crawled into my head while I was finishing Ember, a book in my Faylinn series, and was pretty persistent in making sure her story was told. I was all on track to finish two other books, but this Me After You came through stronger. Sawyer became my soul sister. If I was having a particularly rough day I turned to her. It was a book that begged to be written. I’d never really experienced that until Me After You and that’s how I knew it had to be finished.

8. A message for your fans?
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Without readers it would take a lot more inspiration to write. Knowing you have someone to write for, that’s rooting for you, makes it that much more worth it. So, thank you for you support!

Publicity Campaign:An Ill Wind Review

Gabriella Berryngton is an unhappy and oppressed fourteen year old girl from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1683. She dreams of escaping her bitter, ambitious stepfather and sailing off into the unknown. 

Her dreams come true when her stepfather sells her into marriage.

Aboard the Freyja, she is hopeful that her new life in the Dutch West Indies will be an improvement – a hope that dies when she is given a slave (Klara) and a whip. She discovers that her soon-to-be father-in-law is a ruthless slave trader in league with pirates, and her fiancé is cold, unfriendly and disinterested in Gabriella. She is little more than a vessel to provide the next generation.

Largely ignored and desperately unhappy, she and Klara develop a friendship which makes life bearable – at first. Once married, Gabriella's life takes a turn for the worse and she descends into a world of horror and abuse, until tensions explode. Life will never be the same and she has no choice but to take fate into her own hands.

My opinion:

I receive this book from the author.And I was so happy to read it.It is a wonderful book.I love books like this one.

There are so much to say about this book.Many,many things. Probably,you`ve read the description of the book.Most of you don`t want read it,because it is not fantasy,or something like that.But it is more than that.It is about the pain that women have to endure in 1660,in England.To marry a guy that you haven`t see it and most of it to not love you or  appreciated you .It is hard.Many of was you don`t figured how this will be for us if where in there places. I have endured?Have I died?

So this book,like I said present us the live of Gabriella,a girl that has 14 years old.She is sold be her father for marriage.She has no choice.But she is thinking,that maybe,there ,with her new family it will be more fine and she will escape for her father abuse.

But she is so wrong.There she has no friends,or family to support her.The only friend it is her slave,Klara.Soon she will find out that it has better with her father and mom.

This book is about this years when a women idea,her feelings, emotions doesn`t metter.Is about a cruel, savage world.When only mens opinion metters.Marriage for love doesn`t exist.

Only money and power.

It is a different book and lovely one.It`s about to live in a world of power,and loneliness.The author`s thoughts are so smoothon paper.They are so wonderful to read.It is a book that I want so much to see here,in Romania too.I`m sure that every one will love it.

And who can you not?Just take a look on the cover.I have the book with the old cover,but the inside book metters.

Again thanks to the author for written this amazing book and for provide me and for one more person a copy of the book.

Publicity Campaign:Things Good Girls Don't Do

So, i went to Goodreads like i always do and i discover a great,beautiful book. I was almost attracted by the cover. I mean is so wonderful. And the title?OMG. I want to see this book in Romania too. It`s so sexy and full of mistery. So,i read the description and i just fall in love with this book. Absolutely amazing.


I contact the author to say how wonderful job that she write such an amazin book and if she can give me an interview. Only i can say it is that, Codi, the author is so polite and so sweet. So glad to just spoke with her for couple minutes.

I hope i will see this book in Romania too, beacuse she deserve to be on every country. Pure Romance. Here you have all the informations.

Good girls don't steal.
Good girls don't visit sex shops.
Good girls don't have one-night stands.

For Katie Conners, being a good girl just isn't worth it anymore. It used to mean getting the life she always wanted. But that was before she got dumped and her ex got engaged to his rebound. So, after a bad day and one too many mojitos, Katie starts making a list of things a girl like her would never do, not in a million years . . .

As a tattoo artist with a monster motorcycle, Chase Trepasso isn't the kind of guy you bring home to mom and dad.

And when he finds Katie's list in a bar, he's more than happy to help her check off a few items. Especially the ones on the naughtier side . . .

Katie's more than tempted by Chase's offer, as long as they keep things uncomplicated. But as they spend more time together, she may just wind up breaking the most important rule of all: Good girls don't fall in love with bad boys.


About the author:

From the time I could put a Disney Book cassette into my little stereo,and read along, books have held a fantastic distraction. When I was eleven, I decided I wanted to be one of those magical people that brought stories to life. Devouring a book a day sometimes, my first romance novel stuck with me. I've always been a sucker for a happy ending (and the great romantic gesture)and that's what I try to put into my stories. I am so honored to be a part of Avon, and am so excited to have my own dreams coming true.

Publicity Campaign:Epiphany

So,i think everyone know something about this book.It is no suprise that everyone wans to read it,to devours her.And how not to?This book i was so greatful to read it,to have it first of all.Dosen`t matter that i have only the ebook format.But i know that i will buy in paperback to.I want this book in Romania too.Because everybody deserve to read it.The description is lovely and the cover....Wow!It`s wonderful.So further down,you have all the information of the book.Enjoy it!


The Book:

“I had my first psychic dream when I was nine. Psychic implied power, and powerful wasn’t a word I’d use to describe myself. I couldn’t foretell the future or conjure visions at will, but I couldn’t think of a more fitting word to describe what I sometimes saw in my dreams.”

For 23-year-old Mackenzie Hill, tossing her life down the garbage disposal is easy after a painful incident shatters her life. Her heart is bleeding, and moving to Watcher’s Point is a chance to start anew, only she isn’t prepared for the guy who walks out of her dreams and into the flesh. Literally . . . because she’s been dreaming about this sexy stranger for years.

Mackenzie is even less prepared to face the dark nature of her dreams. They’ve turned disturbingly gruesome, full of blood and murder, and when they begin to coincide with the media’s headlines, she and Aidan realize her visions might be the key to stopping a madman from killing again.

Only Aidan has painful secrets of his own, and perhaps the biggest danger of all is falling for him.

About the book:


An Ill Wind(Valkyrie, #1)  by K.A. Perkins


Gabriella Berryngton is an unhappy and oppressed fourteen year old girl from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1683. She dreams of escaping her bitter, ambitious stepfather and sailing off into the unknown. 

Her dreams come true when her stepfather sells her into marriage.

Aboard the Freyja, she is hopeful that her new life in the Dutch West Indies will be an improvement – a hope that dies when she is given a slave (Klara) and a whip. She discovers that her soon-to-be father-in-law is a ruthless slave trader in league with pirates, and her fiancé is cold, unfriendly and disinterested in Gabriella. She is little more than a vessel to provide the next generation.

Largely ignored and desperately unhappy, she and Klara develop a friendship which makes life bearable – at first. Once married, Gabriella's life takes a turn for the worse and she descends into a world of horror and abuse, until tensions explode. Life will never be the same and she has no choice but to take fate into her own hands.


The interview:

1.Please,tell us your name, the city you are born and the books you write.

I'm Karen Perkins and I was born in Harrogate, which is near Leeds in the north of England. I have published three novels so far: An Ill Wind and Dead Reckoning in the Valkyrie Series which is historical fiction about piracy, love and adventure in the Caribbean in the 17th Century

My third book is very different. Thores-Cross is set locally to me on the North Yorkshire moors and explores isolation, superstition and persecution. If someone was shunned by their own community, itself very isolated, how would they survive? Both physically and psychologically?
The book is narrated by two women, Jennet in the past (1770s), who is shunned by her community and becomes so twisted and bitter that her spirit lives on to torment her persecutors long after her death. Emma is the present day writer who moves to the village Jennet had been a part of, and had found an old inkpot in a crumbling dry stone wall as a child – Jennet's inkpot, which links the two women together. Thores-Cross tells their stories, and is quite a dark and chilling read.
2. How did you become a writer?

I injured myself sailing in the mid 1990's, and never healed. It took many years to find a diagnosis, and I eventually learned that my injury had triggered a condition called fibromyalgia, which consists of extreme chronic pain and fatigue. I was unable to sail anymore, and also lost my job as a financial advisor in one of the major UK banks. I was virtually housebound for a number of years and very isolated, and nobody could really tell me how to beat the fibromyalgia. I started doing some courses at the local college, partly to get me out of the house and meeting people when I was able, partly to understand how the body was supposed to work so I could try to understand where mine was going wrong (I did an anatomy & physiology diploma and then a counselling and psychology certificate to try to understand the mind). It also gave me the opportunity to use my brain again – there is only so much TV you can watch and remain sane! I found the psychology fascinating and one day just picked up a pen and started writing. I filled one notebook, then another, and when I was buying my third, I realised I was writing a book. I had always loved books, but it had never occurred to me that I would be able to write one. I then did a small creative writing course locally, bought lots of 'how to' books about writing, rewrote my own book a number of times as I learned the craft and then published it as Dead Reckoning. As I often could only write for ten minutes at a time due to the pain, it took about seven years to finish – and I enjoyed every minute! Now, I cannot imagine not writing, and it has given me a new lease of life and a future.

3. Who inspired you to write?

The authors of every book I have ever read and enjoyed, in particular Stephen King, Barbara Erskine, Philippa Gregory and many, many more. I am also very lucky in that my friends and family have been extremely supportive and my partner, Peter Mutanda, gave me the confidence to actually publish and put my work 'out there'. I am very grateful to them all.

4. How old were you when you wrote the first book?

Well, I started Dead Reckoning when I was thirty four, although as I mentioned, it took me seven years to finish it. Luckily, I have learned so much in writing that one, new books are taking me about a year now – six months to write, six months to edit and polish – although I do think them through for quite some time (years) before planning them out and sitting down to write them.

5. Your favorite books

This is a hard one, there are so many! I think my favourites from childhood were Swallows and Amazons & Treasure Island. As an adult, I love Carrie by Stephen King (and most of his other books too!), Kate Mosse's Languedoc Trilogy, Philippa Gregory's historicals, Jodi Picoult, Zoe Sharp, C J Sansom's Shardlake series, Wuthering Heights and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca & Frenchman's Creek.
                                                 

                                                       6. What inspired you to writeValkyrie?

I have been a passionate sailor for most of my life until I injured myself in the Contender Europeans – an injury that changed my life and led me to start writing. By writing about pirates, I can at least go sailing in my imagination and I am also fascinated by the history of the Caribbean. So many people and peoples made a home there in the search for freedom, yet enslaved two continents in the process. Life aboard pirate ships was also the most democratic society in the world at that time – and the most brutal, and it was both of these dichotomies which made me want to explore some (fictional) lives and their experiences. I am currently working on books three and four of the Valkyrie Series, Look Sharpe! and Ready About!, and have ideas for many more. Each book I write, and each character I introduce fascinates me more, and I want to explore their lives and journeys, too.
                                            7. Do you have a playlist for your book?

I don't actually. I would listen to different music when writing different aspects of the books, though. Good ole rock and roll for the fight scenes, Adele and Duffy for the love scenes, just to set the mood within myself as I wrote.

                                                                  8. Future projects?

I'm currently writing the next two books in the Valkyrie Series, which I hope to publish at the end of 2013 and early 2014, and I'm also currently plotting out a novel in a new series which I am writing together with my partner, Peter Mutanda. Cultural Exile is the first book in our Africa Series, and examines the experiences of a Zimbabwean woman when she is forced to leave her family behind in Africa and move to Britain, and should be out in 2014. There are quite a few other ideas swimming around my head too, it'll be interesting to see which ones come to the fore first . . .

                                                            9.A message to the future writers?

Enjoy your writing. It's wonderful to see your characters and story evolve, so don't hold back. I write my first drafts for me, and try my best not to worry about whether or not it's good enough. No first draft is perfect, but once you've written it, you can then find any holes and improve any weak areas, and I write the second draft for my readers, to give them the best story I can.
Also, there is no better time than now to self-publish, and although it is hard work and very time-consuming, it is also extremely rewarding – the first time I received a positive review from someone I didn't know, I danced around the room (and the second time, and the third . . . you get the idea!).

                                                       10.A message for your fans?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! To receive a review, or an email or message on Goodreads telling me you have enjoyed my book is the best feeling in the world. I am extremely interested in what people think of my work – whether positive or negative. Writing can be a lonely business, and it is very difficult to be objective about one's own work; to hear what people like or aren't so keen on in my books helps me to become a better writer. At the end of the day, I want my books to be the best they can be, both my readers and my characters deserve nothing less.
