Yeah ... NOY gutted me. As did SIY. I forgot about the dress scene. That did me in when Mia fell to the ground and her realization. I was a sobbing mess writing that.

And the final book in the Never Over You series ... these teasers are bittersweet for me for that reason. I'm all "This is the end" and then I sob. #jokingoramI? LOL

I love many of the teasers for this book! Which are your favorites?

I'd like to share with you some of my favorite teasers for each of my books. Up first ... Bring Me You

I prefer a multiple POV book. For one, it helps me know the character a hell of a lot more. I do a lot of research about those characters before I really "start writing".

I like the multiple POV's because sometimes a certain scene is MORE powerful coming from someone other than the main character or who it's happening to or vice versa. It allows me to make sure certain characters aren't getting too annoying (though sometimes I want that, if that makes sense LOL).

Ashley, Allie does have a lot of strange in her story. She's lived a hard life ... maybe even more than Mia and that's why I'm having a hard time with it. Do I want to do it? That's what I keep going back to ... and i haven't answered that yet

Mia and Ethan were pretty easy to write. I know them so well. We can throw Luke into this category as well.

I am having difficulty with Allie ... and Clark.

Ashley wrote: "What were some of your favorite books growing up?"

I have a lot of phases ...

I used to love Madeline and Curious George.
Then I moved on to the Little House on the Prairie books.
Then I made a weird and strange leap to Stephen King and Anne Rice and hopped on over to Historical Romance where I read and fell in love with The Thorn Birds and Gone With The Wind (BIG ASS BOOKS FTW!!!)
Then I found Nora Roberts and leaped (and stayed) in the Contemporary Romance genre.
