Brandon McLemore was born into a ranching family. The lifestyle flowed in his blood, made up his bones, but so was the need for<i> more</i>. Reason why he opened a private club in Paris.<br />
<br />
But then Mia walked in the place and both of their worlds collided. It wasn't love at first sight. Their chemistry ran hotter, darker, and cut a path into their souls. The friction between them was ache begging to be freed. Only they were too hardheaded to see that...in the beginning.<br />

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Ingredients</span></div>
<ul>
<li>2 1/2 – 3 cups ripe or slightly over-ripe diced fruit</li>

<li>2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice</li>
<li>optional: seasonings, spices, extracts to taste</li>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Instructions</span><br />
Preheat oven to lowest temperature. 140° or higher. Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap, or a silicone baking mat (don’t use foil, parchment, or waxed paper), and spread to 1/8″ thick. Place in oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until center is not tacky anymore. Remove from oven and peel off of baking sheet. Cut into strips and roll in parchment or plastic. Store in airtight container or freeze.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Tips:<br />
-All fruits will produce slightly different results. Strawberries and Raspberries are two of my favorites, that consistently produce good flavor and texture. You might have to experiment to find what works well. If you’re going to make a giant batch, you may want to test one first to make sure it works well.<br />
– The addition of sugar or honey enhances the texture and makes the fruit roll ups a little more chewy than if you leave it out.<br />
– If using plastic wrap, it will shrink a little as the fruit dries, so do leave a little extra around the edges. <b>A silicone baking mat works the absolute best in my opinion.</b></div>

Let's clarify by what we mean dirty: the man's done things. Bad boy: he's inked, pierced, and uses semi-automatic weapons with finesse.<br />
<br />
When we say suspense, we're talking victims, executions, elections,<br />
murder, money, fast cars, private jets, elite lifestyles,<br />
POTUS,<br />
Bratva<br />
Irish Mob<br />
Calabria mafia<br />
power, pain.<br />
<b>Danger.</b><br />
Don't be fooled by others supposed dirty political romances.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Senator Atticus Damian Stone is the original bad boy in D.C.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In truth, he's smoke & mirrors. A sham. Atticus is broken. He's done enough to require a bodyguard. Stone doesn't pretend to be a saint. <i>That would be his uncle. </i><br />
<br />
Stone's a congressman with a taste for dirty, dark... hair-pulling action. He's met his match in a woman who has secrets to hide. Phoenix X O'Malley hails from a family running a savage game to win at any cost. <i>Beware of pastels and pearls and a summer on the Cape. </i>It's a prison sentence to 'X' and one she's about to escape.<br />
<br />
Powerful people will topple. Dynasties will battle like Titans. When the dust clears, the truth will hobble a nation.<br />
<br />
Make no mistake, there's only one SENATOR series. It's Dirty Little Secrets all grown up into a true romance suspense series.<br />

inverse relationship to the green. Subtle and hard to perceive or address
without sounding as if chomping on self-righteous sour grapes. I’m not. Here’s
my proof dated today (Jan 25, 2016), Amazon ranking overall on Kindle 329. #77 in contemporary
romance. Is this my first time, no. I've gotten onto this list, getting up to #25 overall on Amazon, #1 in subgenres, and I'm not here to brag. But this time it was different and deserves an explanation.</span><br />

crazy town during a release. That’s when it becomes evident I’ve sanctioned my
own insanity caught up as a cog in an industry moored in social media now more
than ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to so many, many people. For a
post-neurosurgery-gone-wrong-writer, this road is both a blessing and a crutch.
Check off a way to avoid pain. A doorway beyond the physical. A means to an

snagged Tempted in less than two minutes via a tweet. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tempted</i> is the first cowboy tale of a ten-book series and I wish I
could do things over. But I can’t. I can only share what I’ve learned. This
story went through the grind of a release to become a cross to bear aka an
education as well as heartache. What I learned could be published as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Good, The Sad, and The Ugly</i> side of

It isn't bank deposits. It’s in the process of creation. And when a writer
decides to submit to it as a career, dare I name it a calling, then this
madness becomes more about talent and about improvement, refinement. At least
it is for me.</span></div>

out a premise that might help someone. Before a writer leaps off the
cliff, executing a swan dive into the publishing pool, just keep in mind, it’s larger than the concept of ‘Will
I sink or swim?’ <strong>Help yourself by coming to grips with a huge reality that most
folks fail to recognize. <em>Or fail to grow</em>. There isn’t a jump, dive, or belly
flop because in fact, there is no pool. Similar to a field of dreams, our wordsmith
quest is to cultivate the land.</strong> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #141823; font-family: "raleway" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So before releasing that first book, think long and hard
on what it is you wish to do? See your name in print for a single release? Or
possibly spin this into a career? Regardless if you’re socially adroit, a child
prodigy, or born under a lucky star. Won’t matter if you hail from the panster
or plotter camp either. Today, a writer wishing to retain an iota of control in
an industry that churns out thousands of books daily, you can’t escape the bare
necessity that involves, yep a plan. The first book released defines an author.
It imprints who we are, our skill set, and becomes the calling card we can’t
escape if we aren’t careful. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

If you can't hire a PR firm, then start small with a book tour company. There are vast numbers and again, check them out. See what they've done for their clients. Yet you still have to do the ground work. Optimally, a writer would begin at least a year or two before the first release.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
I started here as in blogging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Pre-release, that is exactly what a writer should be doing: blog. Nothing major, just be consistent and pick a theme.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What else?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #141823; font-family: "raleway";">Find a photo stock company, set up an account, and download images to use in teasers, trailers, promotions, and social media posts announcing your release, and well before to get your name out in the public's eye. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #141823;">Join a writer group</span> and ask lots and lots of marketing questions.</li>
<li>Decide on a budget and stick to it.</li>
<li>Swag? Are you pro or con or have no idea? Then join investigate other authors and see what they're offering up. How do they do it? Is it something you truly love!</li>
<li>Book conventions? They're terrific ways to get your name out, especially if one is local. Otherwise, investigate who is running it, their experience, who attended, and <strong>costs</strong>. Out-of-town conventions can run an author into the thousands to attend. If not, what about a bookstore nearby? Can you set up a table there one evening to give a book talk?</li>
<li>Branding. It's never to early to decide on an author logo, blog or website theme which is then translated outward to your social media sites down to tiny favicons. </li>
<li>Read. Read about marketing. Read about social media engagement. Read fiction writing (craft)books. Read from your genre. Stay abreast of what is happening in this industry via Publisher's Weekly (PW). From your reading, you can write shorts posts and connect with the author or blogger, letting him/her know you've written about them or their post or ideas. </li>
<li>Enter contests or judge them to gain recognition.</li>
<li>And always, always ALWAYS stay positive, cheerful, amused online. Save your rants and venting to share with your BFF, your <em>poor</em> spouse, or use frustration as fuel your morning run or <em>morning scream</em>. Let it out during a long commute (I mean when you're alone in your car. NOT ON THE SUBWAY!)</li>
</ul>

That's a compact list and now you've got your marching orders and a cheat sheet. But do know, it's all doable if you plan and begin to build your author platform. Genre writer communities are around so you aren't alone. If you reach out, you're doing exactly what you should be doing: being <strong>social</strong>, which is the crucial part of <span style="color: #990000;"><strong>S O C I A L</strong></span> MEDIA. If there is one thing I believe about most writers, it's by our very nature of wanting to share our thoughts and ideas, we're a pretty compassionate group if someone asks us a question and needs help.</ul>

Thus far, I stink at the gregarious aspects of social media. Being an introvert with ADHD, I'm immersed in my next ten thoughts to focus on the present moment.

A girl on the run with cargo to hide crosses the path of a Marine vet recluse. </div>
A SNAFU in the making... <br />
TOO HOT TO HANDLE <br />
<br />
What began as a grueling game of cat-n-mouse with Axel Campesino, has Margo on the move. In Never Say Never (prequel and included in Too Hot), she's on the run and does a body slam right into the arms of Rod McLemore, a recently discharged Marine. Outside of a crazy fling, there's zero room in her life for men. Handsome distractions are dangerous to her health. <br />
<br />
From working a fence line and dealing with cattle, Rod is thrust back into the line of duty. And he promptly fails. He crosses the line in a no-brainer mission: go and get the girl. On no hands is he prepared for Margo or her smart-mouth, right hook, and cargo to hide. Not easy when his renegade brother Cade starts snooping around with his own secrets to shroud. <br />
<br />
Together Margo and Rod are as volatile as flint and gunpowder. Bordering on taboo, their raw attraction is a recipe for disaster. Their stormy love affair forces them over the edge and out of their comfort zones as they wrangle in-laws, Mother Nature, and a twisted con artist. A regular trial by fire. Especially when the stakes are raised: Axel finds a new target to hold over Margo's head. <br />
<br />
One by one, Axel weaves a web, ensnaring everyone Margo holds dear. But if there's one thing Rod teaches her is a battle worth fighting means taking a stand. They'll do whatever it takes to stay together. Even if it means they have to lie, steal, cheat. <br />
Or kill. <br />
<br />
Warning: red-hot scorcher, involving two Texas families, and a wedding we've all been waiting for: Brandon and Mia tie the knot! A true family saga, and we are one book away from the culmination of this series! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>A random hookup too hot to handle? <i>Never say never. </i></b><br /> <br /> In a torturous game of cat-n-mouse with her step-uncle, it’s Margo’s move. <br /> <br /> On the run, she does a body slide right into the arms of a recently discharged Marine. Outside of this crazy fling, there’s zero room in her life for men. Distractions are dangerous to her goal.<br /> <br /> From fixing miles of fencing and tending cattle, Rod McLemore is thrust back into the line of duty. And he promptly fails. He crosses the line in a no-brainer mission: go and get the girl. On no hands is he prepared for Margo or her smart-mouth, right hook, and cargo to hide. <br /> <br /> Together Margo and Rod are as volatile as flint and gunpowder. Bordering on taboo, their raw attraction is a recipe for disaster. Especially when the stakes are raised.<br /> <br /> Their stormy love affair forces them over the edge and out of their comfort zones as they wrangle in-laws, Mother Nature, and a slick conman. A regular trial by fire. But a battle worth fighting means taking a stand. Even if it means they have to lie, steal, cheat. <br /> <i>Or kill.</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Susan Arden grew up in Miami, attending bilingual schools, which lends itself to her interest in writing multicultural stories. Previously, she taught in public schools and earned National Board Certification as an educator. She’s married and lives outside Nashville. Besides writing in partnership with her husband, they're involved in environmental engineering, have three daughters, and an eccentric Kelpie, three cats and gecko. When she's not writing, Susan reads dark romance and thrillers, adores comedy clubs, and is a closet fanatic about boots.</span></span></div>

How about a little cowboy romance and an Amazon Tablet giveaway?<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's a <strong><span style="color: orange;">wickedly delicious</span></strong> time of year. Some days still <em><strong>hotter than snap</strong></em> near Nashville... I'm referring to the weather, of course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And the nights...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well outside they're cooling down into the range of needing a sweater or maybe a fire started.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A little of this, versus a little of that. It's how the seasons change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A series of juxtapositions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Cool versus warm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Soft versus hard. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pleasure versus pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And what can be better than fire and ice?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ah well, that is another matter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What can I speak to is the naming of her albums. The last was "19" and why? It was for her age at the time she has created them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">THIS IS ALBUM “25.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Adele defines 25 as turning point for her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
“<em>Teetering on the edge of being an old adolescent and a fully-fledged adult, I made the decision to go into becoming who I'm going to be forever without a removal van full of my old junk.”</em><br />
<em>She also apologized that for the four-year wait between albums, adding, “I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”</em><br />
<br />
In between 19 and 25, there was her album 21. Besides music, Adele became a MOMMY. Her son Angelo is now three and his dad is Simon Konecki, Adele's boyfriend.<br />
<br />
In a letter to fans, Adele wrote that 25 reflects her life and the changes that have occurred. And now, she's ready to share her music with us. <br />

THIS WEEK I'M DOING IT DIFFERENTLY.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>NO... not that.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm doing a Pre-NaNoWriMo hip-hip tweet-tweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story that I had earmarked for November to write my ass off well, I couldn't wait and began.<br />
Love<br />
You<br />
Harder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qZCDVtwIrkg/Vhk-bnTuGWI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/jNJwm7MbIBs/s1600/LOVE%2BYOU%2BHARDER%2BOCT%2B10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qZCDVtwIrkg/Vhk-bnTuGWI/AAAAAAAAI0Y/jNJwm7MbIBs/s320/LOVE%2BYOU%2BHARDER%2BOCT%2B10.png" width="207" /></a><br />
<br />
And it's working out.<br />
This story keeps me writing on a daily basis. (Important for gearing up for NaNoWriMo.)<br />
<br />
Why? Come November it will be a hit the ground and run kinda deal.<br />
The better prepared a writer is, the easier it is to craft not only words into sentences but a meaningful plot, layered characters, and a story that makes sense.<br />
For me that equates to writing a series.<br />
BIG PLUS to have the backstory already firmly established.<br />
I know these people. Their history. What they carry in their wallets, their picadillos, what type of milk they drink.<br />
And you should too.<br />
If you don't write series, so what.<br />
GET TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS.<br />
SCOPE OUT THE CITY OR SETTING.<br />
ENVISION being the main people in your story so well what they'd say and how they'd feel is second nature.<br />
And then writing is like water rushing, reeling, carrying you forward.<br />

<span style="color: #990000;">THE MAJOR PLAYERS</span></h2>
What's the difference between the BIG HOUSES and the smaller publishers. Besides an actual building, the Big Five create aka publish hardcover books for brick and mortar stores as well as mass market paperback, trade paperback as opposed to Createspace POD (print on demand). Some smaller houses claim to get their books into bookstores but it's the exception rather than the rule.<br />
The Big Five aren't selling an author's rights to third parties and slapping cheap looking covers on past workhorses. (Buyer or rather beware.)<br />

YET this is always pertinent and something writers forget to check out: how TOP authors do in a house in comparison to the general stable of authors. It can be an eye opener to discover and fully understand what rankings mean and translate to insofar as sales. If you don't understand, that is the first thing a writer needs to do. If you understand the monetary difference between a book ranked at 11 or 111 or 1111 or 11,111 or 111,111 or 1,111,111 then carry on. If not, go and do your homework for your own good.<br />

<em><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">See me just as I see you . . .</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>Colin Hancock</strong> is giving his <strong>second chance</strong> his best shot. With a history of <strong>violence and bad decisions</strong> behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he’s determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>Maria Sanchez</strong>, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of <em><span style="color: #b45f06;"><strong>conventional success</strong></span></em>. With a degree from <strong><span style="color: #783f04;">Duke Law School</span></strong> and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly <span style="color: red;">flawless professional track record</span>. And yet Maria has a <span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown</strong></span> and left her questioning so much of what she once believed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A <strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">CHANCE ENCOUNTER</span></strong> on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria’s lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like . . . until menacing reminders of events in Maria’s past begin to surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was Gillian’s first kiss. Her first crush. At sixteen,
she fell hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back then Stephen was in college, racing motocross, and her
parents had just died. Gillian was his friend’s sister, hurting…. and he wanted
her like no other. Rather than ruin the girl, Stephen waited for her to become
a woman, then he’d bring her to his bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Only problem, Gillian is all grown up and fightin’ mad. After walking away from love, Stephen McLemore turned into the town Harley riding manwhore. When
their paths cross, instead of welcoming him back into her life with open arms,
she slugs him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Guess McLemore forgot. With a smart-mouth and a quick temper,
Gillian isn’t a pushover. A talented dancer, she’s set to star on a reality
dance show out in L.A.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
