It started with a simple enough idea; Friendship Friday. A night where you get together with your best girlfriends, sans makeup and in jammies, while indulging in junk food, cheesy romantic comedies, and drinking the week’s troubles away. Gosh, I wanted so badly to be one of those girls. I did the very next best thing, I wrote about them. Single in Seattle was created with all those desires of having that kind of magical friendship with other women. I wanted to celebrate the importance of female friendship even as we crawl through our 30s and make some sort of sense of all this life stuff.
Reeling In Love
Reeling in Love, the first title in Single in Seattle will be released on March, 28th 2017 by Totally Bound Publishing. The concept for the story was inspired by several readers who had become my friends. Granted, these lovely gals lived across the pond in the UK and I could only dream of a Friendship Friday with them, but the connection was strong even across all those miles. Each character we meet in Single in Seattle represents various types of women dealing with issues we all struggle with. In Reeling in Love, we meet Molly, Tiffany, and Mackenzie and follow these thirty-somethings as they navigate single life in Seattle, Washington. The good, the bad, and the not so pretty aspects of adulthood. They don’t make any apologies for being who they are and I simply adore that about these characters. Writing this story came easy, I identified and even wished at times I were half as cool as these chicks. I also wished I had the kind of friendship they all shared. That bond that rarely lasts past college, that seems to disappear after those wedding bells ring, and babies are born. However, in this series we learn that friendship can survive through all the trials of adulthood.
Puppy Love, the second title in Single in Seattle will be available for pre-order on the same date as Reeling in Love’s release. The second book continues right where book one left off. I’m currently writing, Lessons in Love. This story is proving to be much more difficult to finish than I imagined. Why? I had no trouble with the first two books in this erotic contemporary series. The short answer is that I’m having a difficult time saying goodbye to Molly, Tiffany, and Mackenzie. Let me tell you, these women have been through some stuff and I was there the whole time. They have become the friends I want to share Friendship Friday with, the girls I want there when life punches me in the gut and to party with when in the end everything works out.
When I submitted these two manuscripts, I received several offers to sign the series. However, Totally Bound Publishing shared my vision for Single in Seattle. At the core of these steamy romances, there’s a great deal of heart mixed with all the real aspects of true friendship and life. I think by the time you finish reading this series you’ll be like me and want to start your very own Friendship Friday.
