Thanks for having me on your blog today, Lacey, it’s great
to be alongside a fellow Beachwalk babe J
My journey into the publishing world lead me right to Beachwalk Press and I
haven’t looked back since! But rewind just a little bit and you can have a peek
into my aspiring writer – to – published author journey!
- From day dot I have always loved writing but hadn’t taken it seriously until my children were born in 2010.
- While I was on maternity leave I opened up the laptop and flexed the fingers….
- 2011 I heard about an advert for M&B New Voices competition and entered the first chapter.
- I didn’t win but walked away with some fantastic critiques, friends and advice.
- Found some great critique partners and got to work on finishing my story.
- Became friends with the lovely Annie Seaton and used her wonderful editing service to help brush up my rough diamond.
- The time had come to finally send my manuscript out into the big wide world and see any publishers enjoyed it and wanted it and me!
- I had a few offers but chose Beachwalk Press – for several reasons. (1. I’d heard that they were wonderful to work with. 2. Professionalism. 3. Great editing. 4. Brilliant covers. 5. Help with promoting. 6. Fair contract. 7. Friendly and approachable. The list goes on).
- Signed the contract and the rest is history.
- 21st October release date – and my baby is out in the world for readers to enjoy.
About The Book
Calculated revenge, unexpected
passion…
Blackmailed
into a violent farce of a marriage, Daniella had no choice but to comply to
protect Luca's life, even though it meant never being able to see him again.
Years later, a twist of fate reunites them, throwing her plans of fleeing Rio
out of the window and the love of her life straight back in.
Luca's
flawless plan soon becomes complicated when he discovers Daniella is expecting
his brother's child. It becomes even more complicated when old passions return.
Can he actually go through with seducing her, bedding her, and then discarding
her?

I have
always loved to read and romance is by far my favourite genre! You can easily
escape into such promising worlds, where sexy Alpha males lead the way and strong
heroine's often can't help but fall head over heels in love. I adore a Happy
Ever After - as I'm sure we all do if we're honest, right?!
Reading and writing go hand in hand and from the day I could read, I enjoyed writing. To put pen to paper and conjure up weird and wonderful little stories was what I thrived on! English was my favourite class at school right throughout to secondary - and I will always be thankful for the teachers who gave me the opportunities to develop and be creative! If I remember rightly, one of my first stories was called 'The Turkey Who Could Talk'...but I'll tell you more about that some other day :-)
