This romance is going to take place across several years and will be a heroine falling for her brother’s best friend kind of romance. I’m still finalizing my outline and working out the kinks. Hopefully in a few weeks, I’ll be able to provide you with a Tuesday Teaser.

So, what should my next project be after this one? Take the poll and let me know your thoughts.

Don’t fret the fact that this romance is shorter. I was learning to construct the outline, and this was the result. I’ve never been the type of writer to follow a beat pattern (where certain plot events occur at specific points in the outline) as I’ve usually been a seat of my pants type of writer. I actually prefer writing with nothing more than an ending in mind, but I realize I end up having to go back and do more revising that way.

About seven years ago, I took a Master Class in writing, and started using a chapter outline that generally detailed what would take place in that chapter, but was still vague enough to allow me to write freely without being weighed down to a direct script of what should take place. Since learning this new style for Romance writing, I think I may venture into more writing to improve.

Either way, check out my latest book.

Synopsis:

Jeremy, Mr. All-Star himself, is the town’s high school hero. Super jock, team captain, and unfortunately, super hot. While he seems to sparkle and shine in the limelight, I prefer to hide my head in books and stay away from everyone.
Leave it to my father to help out the football team by providing my tutoring services without my consent.
Now, I’m stuck tutoring Mr. All-Star while trying to maintain my dignity and avoiding the bullies who forced me into private school years ago.

Grace is nothing like the girls I hang out with on a daily basis. For one, she wants nothing to do with me. I find that attractive. The more she ignores my flirting, the more I want her. Can I convince her that maybe this football player has more than just the game on his mind?
