I'm working on a new romantic comedy, tentatively titled Hide 'n Spook. It's about a paranormal investigator and a scientist nay-sayer. Here's the blurb".
"Carlie Barnes works hard at paranormal debunking. She’s learned that most of the ‘ghosts’ she’s encountered can be explained away by the real world. But sometimes there are spirits out there and it’s the living that cause the most trouble. Like the guy in the condo upstairs, who’d rather walk on glass than admit she might be right. She’d like to cross him off her list as just another uptight yuppie, but she can’t. He’s hired her to investigate an old federal bunker. Try as she might, she simply can’t ignore his sexy blue eyes that threaten to send her libido into a tailspin and her panties into a bunch.
Michael Denton is a scientist. He believes in what he can see, touch, and feel. And he doesn’t want to feel Carlie Barnes. As far as he’s concerned, she’s a con artist who preys on people's fears and bilks them out of their hard earned money to satisfy those fears. So why does she makes his pulse race and his palms sweat by just being in the same room?
But science dictates that opposites attract, and when they do, fighting the inevitable is just as difficult as believing in ghosts and hotter than a beaker above a Bunsen burner."
I'm having a whole lot of fun putting Carlie and Michael through the paces. I am about 3/4 of the way through, so shouldn't be much longer now.

I have a couple of manuscripts in progress at any given time, so if I get stuck with one story, I go to the other. That's usually all it takes to get the creative juices flowing again.

Just write. Write every day, and don't worry about having the most polished piece you can create. Getting a first draft out is hard enough. You can go back and edit later. But do write something everyday, even if it's only a few words. If you don't, it's easy to say "I'll do it tomorrow."

Rebel Heart germinated in my head years ago, after hearing Abba's song, Fernando. That was when the idea of a civil war between two warring factions, and it's effect on friends and love started working around in my brain. When I couldn't get Lissa and Alex out of my head when I went to sleep, I knew it was time to write their story.
