Work Wednesday: Dreams and Creativity

I went to bed the other night, knowing how the last two chapters of FULL SAIL were going to play out, or so I thought. When I woke up, everything had changed.

This line was running through my head.:

I thought it would be fun to take Mulholland Drive back to the hotel. Instead, it almost killed me.

I was toying with some type of scenic drive on Mulholland Drive. I mean, would my gal TJ really be driving a sporty Porsche and not take the iconic drive? I think not. And wouldn’t it be much more thrilling if that drive became a life-or-death endeavor?

And that’s how we got here…or will once I map out the details. Don’t worry, I’ll put the pedal to the metal… (I’ll see myself out now).

Work Wednesday: Could Use Your Help

I have a request. I need some movie quotes for Full Sail. So I would love to hear three to five of your favorite movie quotes. The older the movies, the better.

Hit the comments or social media and share the movie and quote.

Work Wednesday: We Have a Cover

I would LOVE to reveal the cover for the third book in the TJ Wilde Trilogy, FULL SAIL. We spent most of last week working on it. But while we’ve finalized almost everything, there are still some small tweaks.

As a tease, here is the photo I took that we are using for the cover:

That’s the Venice Fishing Pier, and it plays a big role in the book. And here is what LFern did with that photo to begin the cover work:

I thought the cover she did for Underway was stunning, this one is equally stunning and can’t wait for the reveal. She is so very talented, and I’m lucky to have her doing my covers. Stay tuned…

Work Wednesday: It’s Not As Fun As It Sounds

I had kind of hoped I’d be able to skirt a sex scene in this latest novel. I had Colby and TJ in separate cities and I didn’t see any organic way to incorporate a tryst.
