Starting
a new life isn't easy when the skeletons locked in her closet are the
notorious town drunk for a father and a haunted past. But, Hadley
Morgan isn't one to shy away from second chances or giving them
either.
When a young, single father wrapped up in an octane
fueled package takes particular interest in her, she begins to dream.
But well-known drag racer Aiden Casey is also her boss, making her
hesitate to grab at her chance at happiness.
Will her secrets
shatter their chance at love or will his past come back to destroy
both of them?
Leslie
spends most days attempting to wrangle the voices in her head and
often wishes she could clone herself so that their stories get told
faster. She loves words, romance, and characters that feel like
family and spends almost all of her free time with her own family;
including a boisterous eleven year old that she homeschools and an
assorted cast of rescue pets. She lives her own happily ever after
with her soul mate and best friend in the northern part of Alabama
and hopes you enjoy reading her stories as much as she enjoys writing
them.
GUEST POST
Let’s face facts. Writing books is hard. Sitting down and putting
ideas on paper, playing around, writing for the sheer joy of it? That
part is easy. But structuring a novel out of writing for fun—doesn’t
happen without a lot of work.
Part of that work is
honing your craft, learning how a story progresses, and all the
things they don’t teach you in high school English. So my writing
career began with a lot of stops and starts. I probably have around
fifty half-finished manuscripts. A dear friend finally told me not to
send her anything else to read, until I finished one.
I finally did. It’s
actually the manuscript I sent in to RWA to prove I was a real live
writer. Also, it’s horrible. I’ve often thought of rewriting it
and may still do that one day. But finishing that one story gave me
the confidence to write the next one. Which, was The Finish Line,
my first published novel. No I don’t have a sob story about all the
manuscripts I sent in, that were rejected. Not because those types of
work don’t exist, but because they are all in a file… to never
see the light of day. I put in the hard work it took to write a
publication ready story before I ever submitted.
So if you’re a
fledgling writer and want my advice? Do the work and writer your
story, that’s the absolute best any of us can do.
Also, don’t be me. I
always have multiple projects/books going at once. Today, for
instance, I’m writing blog posts for my third release Hot Lap
(I hope you go buy it; Aiden is smoking hot and Hadley is all of
us), finishing revisions on a novel due Monday (today as I write
this, it is Friday), also working on revisions of another novel,
writing the rest of a series Urban Fantasy that should release on the
Radish App later this spring, and writing three synopsis (synopsises?
synopsi?) for my publisher (for the remainder of the Arkadia Fast
series).
Totally don’t try
this at home, it’s completely overwhelming. Also it’s 5:20 pm and
I’m still in my pajamas and just ate ice cream for dinner. Be a
writer, they said. Chase your dreams, they said. (I’m kidding,
these are the moments when I am the happiest).
Expect all of these
things I just mentioned from me in the future. Four more Arkadia Fast
novels, several romantic suspense series, my Urban Fantasy, and who
knows what else I’m going to come up with. I promise you this,
though, I won’t write anything boring.
