<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA">Hi everyone!</span></b><span lang="EN-CA"> When you set out to find examples of inner strength, you don’t have to go very far. Right here in the writing community, we see it every day. Writers more than anyone understand the swirl of emotions as we work toward publication. We dream of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">making it</i> and seeing our books in the hands of readers…yet doubt and frustration can be a constant companion. For us, there is a lot to learn, much to steel our nerves for, and unfortunately, a host of real-world problems that can try to derail us. And, even as we slowly move forward and grow, <a href="http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/160603396711/hi-i-read-that-youve-dealt-with-with-impostor">we can sometimes feel like impostors</a>.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">But the fact that writers face this battle, day after day, and KEEP GOING…this should be celebrated!

I totally lost my mojo! </bold><br />
<bold>BUT, it is back. I'm working on a few stories now. I am close to being finished with the first one, but it still needs revisions and edits so it will be a bit, but I am working on it every day!</bold><br />
<bold>The title of my first new novel is <i style="font-weight: bold;">Ugly Truths </i>and here is the synopsis:</bold><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Drew’s plans for the future are all laid out for him...thanks to his father. He’ll graduate in June and go to Norte Dame on a full ride scholarship. Drew’s life is an open book . . . except for one little ugly truth.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Ali’s life is shrouded in secrets. She’s living in fear for not only herself but for her sister as well. Her mother’s given up on life . . . and her father? He’s the reason for her fears.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When Ali and Drew connect, sparks fly, only neither is sure that love is what they want or need at the moment. But you can’t always control chemistry.<br />
<bold>As they grow closer together, Ugly Truths are exposed, truths that put them and their love to the test.</bold><br />
<bold>Here is the cover...for now. I have a tendency to change covers so don't hold me to this!</bold><br />

This is a short story (at least I think it will be;) and its MC is a writer who LOVES mysteries and she soon finds herself up to her "ankles" in one. It's a funny romance I hope you will enjoy.</bold><br />

<bold><br /></bold> <bold>And finally, I updated the cover to <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Unlovable-Contemporary-Fiction-Port-Fare-ebook/dp/B004K1F9BA/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank">Unlovable</a>. I've been toying with the idea forever and finally decided to bite the bullet. The hardcopy will have the old cover of the girl on the swing, but the ebook has this cover. What do you think??</bold><br />

But what often holds readers in thrall are our characters and how they grow and change.<br />
<br />
Who they evolve into, what fears they push past, how they take on pain to reach fulfillment regardless of the challenges—all of these steps in the character's journey, combined with the plot, can create a fascinating trek through the pages of a novel. <b>And yet there's another element that's needed to meld the story and character arc together: the setting.</b><br />
<br />
Choosing the right one for each scene is critical to give deeper meaning to the character's inner and outer journeys. The right setting can symbolize our protagonists' goals, remind them of their past, steer their choices through emotional triggers, and lend them the strength to soldier on, no matter what opposition stands in their way. <b>But what if "the right setting choice" is one we haven't experienced ourselves first hand? How do we describe it?</b><br />
<br />
Well, there's some good news on that front. Two new books have released this week that may change the description game for writers. <i><a href="http://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/" target="_blank">The Urban Setting Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to City Spaces</a> </i>and <i><a href="http://writershelpingwriters.net/bookstore/" target="_blank">The Rural Setting Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Personal and Natural Spaces</a></i> look at the sights, smells, tastes, textures, and sounds that a character might experience within 225 different contemporary settings. And this is only the start of what these books offer writers. In fact, swing by and check out this hidden entry, <a href="http://writershelpingwriters.net/setting-thesaurus-entry-house-party/" target="_blank">HOUSE PARTY</a>, a location from the <i>Rural Setting Thesaurus </i>volume<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #990000;">Trauma surgeon Lieutenant Cassandra Toma begins her deployment at the Joint-Unit Air Base on the wrong foot. On her first day, she clashes with her new commander. Her rebellious nature and sassiness rival her excellent performance in the operating room. It might be the only reason she’s not reprimanded … or is it?</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #990000;">Major David Hunt is unsure how to handle the brilliant and beautiful Cassandra. As her commander, he can’t consider a relationship. A forbidden passion consumes them with the intensity of an erupting volcano, leaving her heartbroken and him with tarnished honor and pride as an officer. The only way out for David is disappearing into the dangerous warzone in Iraq.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #990000;">When their paths cross again, Cassandra and David find they have a common goal—to find Cassandra’s brother, Maj. Robert Toma, kidnapped by insurgents while on patrol. To rescue him, they must put aside their resentments and fight their common enemy. And the fire between them is back.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Cassandra wants to give David—and their love—another chance. But she doesn’t know that his mistake, his <em>secret</em>, could cost them both the love they’ve finally found. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Avery Elliott is so busy hiding from her past that she doesn't realize she’s been stuck in a rut for the last decade or so. Despite a job she loves, a hilarious great-grandma she adores, a reliable Friday night date, and two of the best friends a girl could ask for, she’s not happy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So why can’t she move forward with her life? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">After Mr. Friday Night humiliates her and bails, Avery spins it into an opportunity. She joins her friends on a singles cruise, hoping to reset her stagnant life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, her great escape becomes a floating prison, locking her in with everything she needed to get away from. </span></div>

Avery has to decide if she should leave the past where it belongs, or fight for a happiness she never thought she deserved.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></span></div>

Over the years my novel <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sherry-Gammon/e/B005G00GBC/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1" target="_blank">Unlovable</a> has changed. Not the story, (with the exception of fixing a few typos!), but the cover has!<br />
This cover is my original cover. It is a photo of Central Park that I added a few effects to and called it good...Oh how naive I was! I sold a few hundred copies, but I knew that I needed to update the cover or all my hard work would be for not.<br />

My next cover changed everything. I contacted a digital artist out of<br />
England named <a href="http://www.createimaginations.uk/" target="_blank">Paul Beeley</a>. I'd seen his work and was impressed. I told him what I was looking for, and together we created this cover. <i>That</i> changed everything! My book was picked up by several big book bloggers, received wonderful reviews, and caught the eye of Films By Serendipity who is currently making <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/sherry-gammon/id438822594" target="_blank">Unlovable</a> into a movie! So it seems people may judge a book by its cover, at least at first. If the inside doesn't hold up, then the world's most incredible cover won't help at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i> <i><br /></i> <i><br /></i><br />
<i>However,</i> according to the powers that be,(the big five publishers) changing book covers helps to draw in new readers. One cover may connect with someone, whereas another may not. When I recently updated the cover to <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/%22Sherry%20Gammon%22?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall" target="_blank">Unbelievable</a> from this:<br />

It is pretty much the same except for a color change and I added some details, like Maggie's trailer in the background. I toyed with the idea of changing the cover completely, but I loved the girl on the cover and felt she represented Maggie so well..until now.<br />

I LOVE these covers and am seriously debating whether or not to completely change Unlovable's cover. I love the girl on the swing and feel people connect it with Unlovable, but I wonder if a new look altogether might be better.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b> <b><u>PLEASE comment below. Should I change the cover, or stick with the blue girl on the swing? And of the two new suggested covers, which do you prefer? </u></b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Broken Things to Mend by Karey White</strong> Celia is in desperate need of a change--a change of scenery, a change of pace, and a complete redo of all relationships. Not knowing what else to do, she opens a map, closes her eyes, and lets fate decide her future. Then she packs her meager belongings and buys a one-way ticket to a little town on the fringes of Oregon's Deschutes National Forest called Sisters. She's wanted a family for years. Will she find one in Sisters? What Celia doesn't plan to find is a strange Chinese woman whose meddling ways keep throwing her in the path of a handsome, but reserved, forest ranger. But no matter how kind or dependable Silas seems to be, there are some things in Celia's past that neither of them can escape, and this time, the damage might be too much to mend.</div>

My Thoughts</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #01003d; font-family: Copse;">Warning peeps: Read this novel with a box of tissue at
hand! It is an emotional roller coaster... and well worth the ride! Celia and Silas have not lead charmed lives, just the opposite, in fact.
Silas struggles with a stuttering problem that has him living a reclusive life,
and poor Celia is burdened down by a mountain of baggage she is determined to
hide from. A Chinese matchmaker, Pearl, ‘sees’ that these two damaged people are
meant to be. We watch as years of pain and sorrow turn to … well, you’ll have to
read it to find out! </span><span style="color: #01003d; font-family: Copse;"> </span><span style="color: #01003d; font-family: Copse;">I enjoy all of
Karey’s work and</span><span style="color: #01003d; font-family: Copse;"> <b>Broken Things to Mend</b> (a perfect title, BTW) is</span><span style="color: #01003d; font-family: Copse;"> no exception. 5

<b><i>Christmas Makeover</i> by Cami Checketts Amazon bestselling author</b><br />
Chelsea Jamison has been infatuated with Drew Stirling longer than she's loved playing basketball, high-top sneakers, and the Knicks. Unfortunately, all Drew sees is the kid who kicked his trash in the high school free throw contest and not the girl whose heart breaks into a fast dribble when he's near.<br />
Drew makes an unexpected visit home to Echo Ridge and their friendship picks up where they left off as they scheme to make a teenaged boy's Christmas dreams come true. When Chelsea realizes she's fallen for her best friend, she wonders if there is any hope of a relationship with Drew or if she's stuck in buddy-status for life.<br />

<b><i>Soda Fountain Christmas</i> by Connie E. Sokol Amazon bestselling author</b><br />
Keira Kenworth has one focus this holiday season: save her father's old-time department store from bankruptcy. She is not focused on Tayton Wells, the tall, dark, and genius marketing guru from downtown New York, hired to make it happen. He is as doubtful that her nostalgic connect-the-town ideas will succeed as she is about his numbers-first plan. However, it's not just their different approaches that cause sparks to fly. Working together on a fast deadline to save the store before Christmas, the unspoken connection between them grows. But will the tough decisions they face drive them back to their separate worlds, or will they lead to the beginning of love?<br />

<b><i>Hope for Christmas</i> by Rachelle J. Christensen Amazon bestselling & award-winning author</b><br />
Anika Fletcher hates Christmas--its promises of good tidings and hope for the future are as tinseled as the ornaments on Kenworth's Hope Tree. Despite her feelings, Anika wants to maintain her daughter's faith in the magic of the season and gladly accepts a second job working with the handsome Carlos Rodriguez to restore Kenworth's old fashioned soda fountain. Carlos is no stranger to hard times and slowly shares his life of light and joy with Anika as they work together. Just as her fragile soul begins to feel hope again, an ill-timed act of charity changes everything. Anika isn't sure who she can trust or if hope is worth nurturing--especially at Christmas when it's easy to enjoy a kiss and believe love can last longer than the season.<br />

Jonah Owens thought moving to Echo Ridge to open his art gallery would solve all of his problems. The need to sell his grandma's house adds an unexpected complication. It would be easier if his neighbor didn't have all those farm animals.<br />
Kaya Feidler's family has owned their land for nearly a hundred years--long before the neighbors were there. There's no way she's giving up the animal therapy business she's been struggling to make profitable. She gets a temp job helping Jonah in the gallery. Spending time together is a recipe for romance, but can they overcome their own hangups to be more than friends?<br />

<strong>Mending Hearts by Kimberly Krey</strong>
Logan & Candice, on the verge of divorce, decide to give their marriage one last try.
But will they be able to get past the issues holding them back?
Candice is through with married life and all it entailed: infertility, an adoption gone wrong, and the death of
her husband’s twin brother. Now that they’ve been separated for nearly a year, Candice is finally ready
to set Logan free. But when he steps back into her life, Candice begins to have second thoughts. Even though she hasn’t fully healed from the heartache she endured over their married years, she can't fathom the thought of losing him a second time. Can Candice let go of past hurts and give Logan a second chance, or will her fears keep them apart?
Logan has spent the months of separation giving Candice the space she needed. But when he
discovers that Candice is about to file for a divorce, he decides he better take action quick. He didn’t spend
the best years of his life with this woman, only to let her slip away. Yet just when the opportunity comes
again – his chance to finally make things right – an entirely new force threatens to tear them apart.
Will opposition keep the heart-broken couple from getting back together or will they have the strength
to break through the barriers, no matter what their future might bring?

<strong>Excerpt:</strong></div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The door creaked to a slow close, and Candice looked up to see their extra guest. Tall, dark, and completely unexpected, Logan stood at the entryway. Her eyes grew wide. If seeing her nephew flirt with his cousin had surprised Candice, the sight of her husband was an outright shock.</div>
<div>
Logan offered an awkward wave and timid smile while tiny cracks formed trails into Candice’s heart. Trails that would lead her right back to places she’d already been. Spots she had chosen to leave behind.</div>
<div>
The kids rushed over to greet him. But Candice stood rooted in place, her splintered heart picking up pace, working to piece itself back together again. When she could no longer take it, Candice darted out of the room and through the kitchen. A roomful of family caught in their own world. Completely unaware.</div>
<div>
“<i>Mom</i>.” The word was weak on her tongue.</div>
<div>
Marge turned to look at her. The room stilled.</div>
<div>
Candice’s eyes locked on her mother’s. Pale. Blue. Questioning.</div>
<div>
She wanted to explain that she’d ruined everything Candice had worked toward over the last year. That, in one careless move, she’d ripped the healing scabs from her heart. Candice folded her arms, her hands feeling cold and numb, and forced out the only thing that would come to her lips. “What in the world are you trying to do?”</div>

<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Excerpt from Introduction</strong> If you are in possession of this book you are assumed to be the caretaker or an apprentice caretaker of Fablehaven. By now you’ve been introduced to the world of mythical and magical creatures. However, there is still much to learn. Previous caretakers of Fablehaven thought it would be helpful to create aCaretaker’s Guide specifically for those tasked with the job of nurturing, protecting, and surviving this preserve and its inhabitants. Do not be fooled. Fablehaven is an unpredictable and dangerous place. However, the collective knowledge gathered within the pages of this bestiary will give you the knowledge and wisdom needed to not only survive but to thrive. The creatures of Fablehaven are either light or dark, not necessarily good or evil. In order to be good, one must recognize the difference between right and wrong and strive to choose the right. To be truly evil one must do the contrary. Being good or evil is a choice. This is not so with the creatures of Fablehaven. What they are largely governs how they act. Some are inherently builders, some are nurturers, some are playful. Some are inherently destroyers, some are deceivers, some crave power. Some love light, some love darkness. But change their nature, and without much resistance, their identities follow. Like a fairy becoming an imp, or an imp regaining her fairyhood. Much counsel and advice has been passed down through generations and given to the new caretakers of this preserve. Perhaps the most invaluable piece of advice that has ever been given is this: Those who are careful to cause no mischief, work no magic, and inflict no harm are protected by the foundational treaty of Fablehaven. This truth alone may be your strongest ally and your only defense. One final note. The signs leading up to the front gate were not always there. In the late eighteenth century, before the guest register that controls access to Fablehaven was created, two poachers entered the property in search of big game. Needless to say, they found it. Or it found them. Many days later, the resident caretaker found them as well. Or at least he found their bodies of petrified stone. And thus the first signs outside the gates of Fablehaven were posted. As caretaker you have accepted a most noble assignment. Keep your eyes open. Obey with exactness. Take risks only as the last resort and you will have a better chance at seeing another sunrise. Welcome to Fablehaven.<br />

<strong>Mending Hearts by Kimberly Krey</strong> Logan & Candice, on the verge of divorce, decide to give their marriage one last try. But will they be able to get past the issues holding them back? Candice is through with married life and all it entailed: infertility, an adoption gone wrong, and the death of her husband’s twin brother. Now that they’ve been separated for nearly a year, Candice is finally ready to set Logan free. But when he steps back into her life, Candice begins to have second thoughts. Even though she hasn’t fully healed from the heartache she endured over their married years, she can't fathom the thought of losing him a second time. Can Candice let go of past hurts and give Logan a second chance, or will her fears keep them apart? Logan has spent the months of separation giving Candice the space she needed. But when he discovers that Candice is about to file for a divorce, he decides he better take action quick. He didn’t spend the best years of his life with this woman, only to let her slip away. Yet just when the opportunity comes again – his chance to finally make things right – an entirely new force threatens to tear them apart. Will opposition keep the heart-broken couple from getting back together or will they have the strength to break through the barriers, no matter what their future might bring?<br />

But when she finds herself playing chauffeur more than playmate, her summer outlook quickly turns from fun to bleak. That is, until she drives the girls to a family-owned ranch and meets Colten McCoy—a genuine, hard-working cowboy, who's as set in his ways as he is handsome. Although he claims he doesn't need any fun in his life, Sam’s determined to help him find it. But she'll soon discover that cowboys are about as easy to train as wild mustangs. Stick in the Mud Meets Spontaneity is about an adaptable girl and a not so adaptable guy. It’s about learning to accept people for who they are and realizing that sometimes who they are is exactly who they should be.</div>

I enjoyed both of the main characters, Sam and Colton, completely <3 They were the perfect pairing </span></bold><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 21.3333339691162px;">of two polar opposites,</span><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 21.3333339691162px;"> and</span><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 16pt;"> I appreciate how Rachel took the time to let them fall in love instead of rushing into it. Very refreshing. The setting was great also. I love horses especially mustangs so for me this was a huge plus in the story. I also enjoyed the ending. I admired Sam for her choice, but I admired </span><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 21.3333339691162px;">Colton</span><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 16pt;"> even more for his. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys clean romance!</span></div>

<br />
I wanted to share the creative process... for me anyway...in creating a cover. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tifaniclark?fref=ts" target="_blank">Author Tifani Clark </a>contacted me to create a cover for her new novel <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tifaniclark?fref=ts" target="_blank">On Liberty's Watch</a>. I was thrilled. She already had the girl in mind for the cover because it was the girl used on the two other covers in her series titled <i>Soul Savers</i>. She sent me a picture of the guy she wanted to use and gave me a rough idea of what she wanted, then said what every cover artists dream to hear: Feel free to change it up!<br />
Freedom! I have had people who micro manage their cover so much any creative juices are squelched. The covers are...boring! So <i>please</i> trust your cover artist! If you have reviewed his/her work and like it enough to hire them, then trust them!<br />
That being said, a good cover artist listens to the author also. As I mentioned, Tifani sent me some pictures of the guy and girl she wanted and the watch. The picture of the watch wouldn't work and we went through a couple different ones until we found one that did. The original picture of the girl was of just her head. Not good. It looked like a floating head! I hunted down another picture of the same girl but with her full body. I presented it Tifnai along with several drafts of the cover to choose from and together we chose the things from the different covers to create the "perfect cover" for her book.<br />
At the last minute as I was cleaning everything up, I had a brain storm to switch things around so the front and back cover on the paperback flowed as one big picture. I then added other elements like colored clouds, a few spider webs, and even a spider! See if you can find it.<br />
Here are some of the pictures I used, along with elements from others:<br />

<span style="color: #2e2e2e; font-family: Arial;">I am not a fan
of cooking…I really suck at it. Finding cookbooks that are easy to use and have
recipes that actually taste good are a godsend. That is what The Healthy Family
Slow Cooker is. Great recipes you make in the slow cooker without tons of prep!
So far I have successfully made the Butternut Squash Soup (!!), Citrus Pork
Salad ( I used chicken since I didn’t have pork…so good!) and the Slow-cooked
Molasses Roast. (AMAZING). Next on the menu: Chicken Quesadillas. The whole house smells edible! I
can’t wait for dinner! This is my new favorite cookbook. I keep it next to my
slow cooker for ease. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I also recommend <a href="http://www.wordpaintingsunlimited.com/2015/02/bacon-lovers-unite.html" target="_blank">Dymock's Bacon Lovers cookbook!! See my review here:</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I laughed, I cried, I felt such bewildering sadness and in the end I laughed again. Sherry Gammon takes us on an astonishing journey through the eyes of Max Sanchez. Handsome and athletic with a wonderful and supportive family, Max lives a charmed life. Even as a seventeen year old Max knows that his girlfriend Emma will be the woman he grows old with. Em's beauty and brains are only out shone by her inner compassion and kindness. Max already recognizes that he can learn from her sweetness and tolerance.

It spoke to my soul because I know what it's like to be bullied relentlessly by kids at school and then go home and have to deal with an abusive stepfather and feel like you have nobody to turn to, nobody to trust, and nowhere to go. I know as it said at the end of the book that not all people being bullied have the same home situations but mine almost resembled Izzy's experience with some differences of course. My heart broke while reading about JD's and Izzy's story. I cried for them and their situation. I fell in love with Emma's character because she was one of those rare people with an untarnished soul who doesn't look at people and judge them by what they look like....<a href="http://notsoeasythenovel.blogspot.com/p/a-few-reviews-for-souls-in-peril.html" target="_blank">Read the full review here</a>:</span></span></span></span></ol>

So it is 5+++++++ It was such an emotional read for me. It took me less than 24 hours to read this book once I started I could not put it down. I am honestly at a loss for words to explain how I feel about this book. But I will try so here I go… You will be taken on an emotional ride and your heart will hurt more times than not. You will wish you could just jump into the book and just rescue JD. I know I absolutely fell in love with Em she is the sweetest and kindest kid. I can only hope that my children turn out to be like her...

I was high school valedictorian and passed the CPA exam after obtaining a Masters degree in accounting. Then I followed my dream and moved to Los Angeles to make a career in acting and not from a cubicle. Every day brings a new adventure!</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What do you do when you are not acting/narrating? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Every day I’m doing something that relates to my acting. Whether it be auditioning, shooting, or social networking, the acting never stops. Even when I’m watching shows on Netflix, I watch certain shows that would appeal to my age demographic.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What is your favorite smell? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Mom’s pot roast coming from the slow cooker when I travel back to Illinois.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What was your first acting project? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">There were the spring concert shows in grade school, but my first main gig was in the summer before my 8th grade year where I was the ventriloquist’s dummy in the radio show in a production of “Annie”.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">How/Why did you get into acting? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">I love entertaining people. After getting a feel of making so many people laugh with my lines, I was hooked. Looking back, I wish I would have pursued in sooner, but I didn’t realize I could make a career of it because of how and where I was raised.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">If you had 24 hours to live, excluding spending time with your family, what would you do? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Skydive, ride in a hot air balloon, bungee jump off a bridge, and take my family to the gorgeous beaches of Thai</span><span style="color: #499bc9;">land</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #943633;">What is your favorite kind of cheese? </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201);"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Pepperjack</span></span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">Is there any particular actor or book that influenced you growing up or as an adult? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">I grew up watching all the James Bond and Indiana Jones movies. It’s been a goal of mine to be James when I’m the right age. But Harrison Ford has always been an influence because he is also from Illinois and wasn’t given much of a shot at the beginning of his acting career. I feel I am very similar to him in that regard in that we both have had a chip on our shoulders to prove the world wrong.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">Would I find anything growing in your refrigerator right now? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Nope. I keep things pretty clean. If I let one thing go, it would probably be the dust in my bedroom.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #943633;">How would you describe yourself in three words? </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201);"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Intelligent, sarcastic, loyal</span></span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">Who is your favorite actor? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">It’s hard to pick just one. Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Matt Damon, and Tom Hanks are at the top of the list.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What is your favorite part of acting and why? Your least favorite and why? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">Favorite: Things are always changing but yet they are still structured. You may be on the same set, but the storyline is changing and things don’t get stagnant. Worst: Rejection aha.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">Chocolate or Brussels sprouts? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">I’m a fan of both actually, especially if the brussels sprouts are doused in butter.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an actor? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">I was new to a class and the teacher thought I wasn’t taking the scene seriously. He said I wouldn’t amount to anything.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">What has been the best compliment given to you as an actor? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">I took a three week intensive with a casting director, and after we finished the scene in the last week, he told me he could easily see me as a contract role on the show.</span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #943633;">What is your least favorite smell? </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201);"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Rotten eggs</span></span></span></li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(73, 155, 201); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(148, 54, 51); color: #943633;">Do you have any advice to give to aspiring actors? </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">If a kid from a small town in Illinois with no formal training can move across the country and find a place in this crazy entertainment world, there is no reason you can’t do the same. You will most likely need lots of patience and a strong backbone, and most people from back home won’t understand the extent of what you are doing. But you will. As long as you believe this is what you were made to do, you will find a way to make it happen.</span></span></li>

<span style="color: #444444;">Small town girl, Molly Bennett, moves to Los Angeles where she becomes an outsider while attending Beverly Hills High School. It seems life cannot be any more dreadful.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'Century Gothic', Times, serif; font-size: 15.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #444444;">Then one day after school, something magical happens. On a secluded hike in the Hollywood Hills, Molly chases her disobedient mutt and only friend into a hidden cavern. She stumbles upon a strange glimmering gateway that transports her to Arkana, a planet that is the cradle of an advanced human race. There, teenagers navigate amazing flying vehicles, compete in perilous games for glory, and possess supernatural powers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">While Molly tries to wrap her mind around this unbelievable discovery, she meets the alluring and mysterious Victor Sorren. He is a Sentinel Apprentice, whose hatred toward people from Earth is beyond understanding. Yet every time Victor unpredictably saves Molly’s life, his heart draws closer to hers, no matter how much he tries to fight against it. It further complicates things that their growing friendship is strictly forbidden. Earth people are prohibited in Arkana, yet Molly continues to cross through the portal to Arkana to see Victor.</span></div>

<strong>Saving Marilee by Annette K. Larsen</strong>
Marriage wasn’t bliss—not for Marilee. Instead of finding contentment with the handsome son of a sovereign duke, she found betrayal and neglect. And fear. A fear that finally lifts when her husband dies, freeing her from his domineering hand. But freedom alone can't give her peace, and she must battle to regain her love for life, rebuild her happiness, and reclaim the ability to trust. When her charming neighbor intrudes on her quiet life, offering his friendship (and a dog, of all things), she must determine whether his interest is genuine, whether he is a friend or foe, and whether he deserves the fragile bit of trust she has managed to scrape together.

<strong>Author Annette K. Larsen</strong>
I was born in Utah, part of a crazy, fun family of nine. I grew up in Flagstaff, AZ and St. Louis, MO before striking out on my own college adventure in Virginia. I decided to try my hand at writing novels after I was married and living in Idaho. I write clean romance because it’s my favorite genre, but often difficult to find.</div>
<a href="http://www.iamareader.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Annette1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Annette" class="alignleft wp-image-24587 size-medium" src="http://www.iamareader.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Annette1-199x300.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></a>I have Charlotte Brontë to thank for the courage to write novels. After being bombarded with assigned reading about women who justified abandoning either their families or their principles in the name of love, I had the great fortune of reading Jane Eyre. And that was it: finally, a heroine who understood that being moral and making the right choice was hard, and sometimes it hurt, but it was still worth it. After rereading it several years later, I realized that if I wanted more books to exist with the kinds of heroines I admired, then I might as well write a few myself. My books are about women who face hard choices, who face pain and rejection and often have to face the reality of sacrificing what they want for what is right. The consequences are often difficult or unpleasant, but in the end, doing what’s right will always be worth it.
I believe there is no substitute for good writing or good chocolate. Fortunately, one often leads to the other.

<strong>The Calm After the Storm by Mya O'Malley</strong>
<em>Can true love shine through the darkest storm?</em>
The storm of the century raged through the northeast, causing destruction and despair, millions were left without power and hope. Weeks later, countless people were still devastated by the destruction of Hurricane Sandy, Emma Riley among them.
Determined she didn’t need the help of a man, Emma was convinced that she could brave the aftermath of the storm on her own. That is, until Jake came into her life.
After having suffered heartbreak and embarrassment, Jake Mack, a utility foreman, volunteered to travel north from small town, Georgia to assist with the aftermath of the storm. Jake was decidedly done with women. But he didn’t count on meeting Emma or falling in love so quickly. Can he trust this woman or will his past get in the way and ruin the relationship with the one woman he truly loves?

<strong>Excerpt from <em>The Calm After the Storm:</em></strong> <span style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">Jake and his crew had now been in the suburbs of New York for a few days. His first thought upon entering this area was his surprise at the devastation. Sure, he had heard about the destruction on the news and had seen footage of the aftermath of Sandy, but it still hadn’t prepared him for the actual sight of Sandy’s rage. Telephone poles were down, trees were snapped in two, and houses were completed destroyed by the storm. Seeing all the destruction only strengthened Jake’s resolve that it had been the right thing to come. He felt proud to be able to help out and be a part of the solution to the horrible aftermath of this disaster.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
As the day was wrapping up. Jake and Chris met up with some of their crew in the next town to finish one more area before calling it quits. The chill in the air was something that Jake had prepared for, but was not accustomed to. Clutching the new flannel he had purchased right before his trip, he put it on over his thermal shirt. Thankful for his thermos filled with hot coffee, Jake grabbed it but quickly tossed it aside.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Come on, Chris! I asked you to stop drinking my coffee. Now there’s none left,” he said as he shook his head, irritated at his friend.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
Chris looked up at his boss sheepishly. “Sorry, man. I didn’t sleep well last night. I needed some caffeine.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Well, that makes two of us.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
They rode until they approached the utility pole that needed attention. Jake and Chris were among the first to arrive and got busy setting up for the job. Within minutes, the rest of the assigned crew trickled in. The workers were now familiar with the details and routine of this job, so for the most part they worked in silence, focused on getting this last job done so that they could grab some dinner and hit the sheets. It was cold and dark, the night chill settling in upon them. Jake supervised and helped his crew perform their individual duties as quickly as possible. As they were just about wrapping things up, Jake headed over to Steve, one of the older guys directing traffic. He looked frail and tired.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Hey, Steve. I got this. Why don’t you call it a night, huh? We’ll meet you at the hotel for some dinner.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Nah, Jake, we’re almost done here. I’m good,” Steve said as he looked up at Jake with glaring dark circles under his eyes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Steve, go. I’m serious. Get in a hot shower and we’ll meet up for dinner. Boss’ orders. Now go and take Andy with you,” Jake gestured toward another man on the crew who looked like he was ready for bed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
Shrugging his shoulders, Steve made his way to one of the smaller utility trucks, calling for his co-worker to join him. Jake took over the responsibility of directing traffic, slowing people down and stopping cars when necessary. Yawning, he waved a small SUV along, noticing that the approaching driver was slowing down, much more than necessary. Jake squinted his eyes to get a better look. The car came to a stop when Jake stepped up to it and its window rolled down. Looking back at Jake was a woman who appeared pretty, even in the diminished light. Wait, scratch that—she was stunning, with long, wavy hair and piercing eyes. His heart faltered just a bit.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Hi. I wanted to thank you guys for all of the hard work that you’ve been doing. We really appreciate you guys coming up here. I think I speak for everyone,” she said as she smiled widely. Her smile hitched his breath ever so slightly. Jake smiled back. This was certainly a change. Since he had been in this area, some people waved, some people smiled, others remained with their eyes straight ahead, but nobody had yet offered any thanks verbally. So different from the Southern hospitality way of life where he grew up, Jake mused.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
Here it was different, the pace of life was much faster. People always seemed to be in a rush, and they minded their own business for the most part. Sure, being so close to the big city must be nice and the landscape was quite beautiful at times, but he didn’t think this lifestyle was something he could ever get used to. It seemed too stressful, too impersonal. He would be glad to be back home when his job was finished.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
The woman leaned over and offered Jake a box of donuts, disposable coffee cups, and a box of hot coffee. Jake was impressed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Thank you, that was very thoughtful!” Jake gushed, thrilled at the idea of hot coffee. He thought he felt warmth spread across his cheeks despite the chill in the air.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
The woman stared back and smiled at Jake for a minute and then set her eyes on the road ahead. She waved as she pulled away.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Wait!” Jake called out. “Wait, what was your name?” But the words were lost. The mysterious woman with the coffee and donuts was long gone.</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
“Guys!” he called out as his crew worked on cleaning up for the night. “Guys! Our guardian angel just appeared, and she brought coffee!”</div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 18px;">
The coffee and donuts were gladly received, but the idea that someone would go out of their way to show a random act of kindness truly touched Jake. He felt the warm liquid slide down his throat and knew that he would always remember the woman’s thoughtfulness. Who was he kidding? That woman’s beautiful face was what he would most remember. He just wished that he had gotten her name.</div>
