HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY! WICKED EMBRACE IS HERE!

By

BOOK NEWS!

It’s done! The Chronicles of a Dancing Heart is complete and the feeling is indescribable. Eight years ago, I set out on this writing journey without a clue where I was headed. I simply sat at my computer, opened up a Word Doc, and started typing. I haven’t stopped since.

Now, I have two published books, one work-in-progress, and two other projects (potentially three) sitting on the sidelines. For a chick who up until a few years ago didn’t even have writing novels on her radar, I’d say that’s a pretty awesome accomplishment. So YAY me!!! And it’s totally acceptable to pat yourself on the back. Totally.

If I can give other aspiring authors one piece of advice, it’s to keep your eyes in-front of you and never look back. The number one lesson I’ve learned in this business has been never to compare myself to other writers. Easier said than done, I know. Truth is, you will never get ahead trying to walk in someone else’s shoes.

Others will be more successful while others will probably never even start their engines. You need to worry about one thing. You.

I now know—and accept—I am not the kind of author who can pump out five books a year. Not even three. At least not yet. I’m a one-book-per-year type of girl for now, and that’s ok. It really is. (And that’s just the writing part, by the way. Tack on another year for production).

I used to beat myself up about the amount time I would spend researching, re-writing, or listening to my characters hash it out in my head with zero words on paper to account for all the mayhem. Writers would be on their fourth and fifth book for the year, and I’d still be on my one measly book. Clearly, I wasn’t doing the writing thing right.

Wrong.

I’d made a choice. A personal choice. And at times, it was not a choice, but a directive from life. I have a 9-5, a husband, three busy boys, friends who refuse to let me become a hermit, and a body that tells me, “Hey, you. Quit it and get some sleep.” Staying up until 4am on a daily basis was deteriorating me. And nothing is worth destroying your health.

This is my path and mine alone. It may not be in line with the trends in the market. I will probably fall behind everyone else who is able to crank out books like they are a factory, but that is more than ok. It’s perfectly OKAY. The minute you find your path or writing rhythm, and you accept it, and own it, regardless of what that path may be, you’ll become a more patient writer. And a patient writer is a happy writer.

Be. Happy. That is all.

Come. Celebrate with me. The completion of CoaDH is not just a culmination of countless hours slaving over a keyboard. It is the realization of a dream I never knew I had, but one that has shaped me into the kind of person I always wanted to be.

A writer. Oorah!

A Sun So Bright

By

FIVE STARS!!!

KG Fletcher’s A Sun So Bright gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ well deserved stars!!! I had the special privilege of reading an advance copy and OMG OMG OMG. This book was EVERYTHING. A perfect NYE romance read. I’m a sucker for billionaire romances, but this time the girl is the wealthy snob in need of love, and Chris is the perfect man to give her exactly what she needs😉 This is a contracted-affair love story, so for those of you who like this trope, I highly recommend it. 

This is book 3 in the Reigning Hearts series, and I will admit, I was a bit skeptical about it at first as this is Fiona’s story (she’s the villain in book 1), and as I didn’t like her that much in book 1, I wasn’t so sure I wanted to read her story. However, when it comes to authors I love, I tend to trust their instincts and decisions. I am so happy I gave myself the chance to read this story. Fiona has one of the best character redeeming arcs I’ve read in a while, and by the middle of this book, the Fiona I knew from book 1 had completely morphed into someone I wanted to know better.

There is so much to her than meets the eye. And isn’t that a story we are all familiar with? Sometimes people judge us by our appearances, and sometimes our actions speak for themselves. Fiona is proof of both. The last quarter of this book had me at the edge of my seat needing to learn what came next. The ending-twist was incredible, sweet, and tugged at all the heartstrings. 

I loved Chris. He was the perfect hero for Fiona. He was proof that there is someone out there for everyone…that love can inspire change, and that ultimately, love does heal. Do yourselves a favor and read this remarkable story. While it is a standalone, you’ll appreciate Fiona’s transformation better if you read the first book in the series. You won’t regret it. 

P.S This book had me wanting to escape to the country for a very romantic snowed-in getaway. A true gem.

BOOK NEWS!

Hello from my writing tower! I’ve been a hermit for the last few months, making few social media appearances while I focused on finishing the second and last book of the Chronicles Of A Dancing Heart duet. I am thrilled to announce that the sequel to Wicked Dance is now complete and in the hands of my editor at The Wild Rose Press. 

This book took me longer to complete than I expected. I needed it to feel right, and unfortunately, that sometimes means waiting for the muse(s) to talk. So to my loyal readers who have been waiting forever for the conclusion of this love story, thank you for sticking it out with me.

I poured my heart into this book. Sara and Tom wrecked me. Beyond wrecked me if I’m being honest. I borrow a lot from life, whether it’s from events that directly impacted me, or things I lived through people around me, I tap into those experiences to breathe life into my characters. 

They feel very real to me because I live in their skin. Tom and Sara are imperfect people. They make mistakes and bad decisions like all of us at some point in our lives. When our heads and hearts are at odds, often times we end up doing and saying the wrong things. Sometimes we recover, other times, we live with regrets.

Theirs is a hard-earned HEA, but I believe having to fight for your happiness is the best way to truly appreciate what matters the most in our lives. 

I seriously cannot wait for you guys to read this book. And hopefully, you will not have to wait too long. 

Love,

Liv


Wicked Dance Finds A Home

By

The Ripped Bodice
A Romantic Bookstore
3806 Main St.
Culver City, CA 90232

A few days ago I received an email that literally made me squeal. The Ripped Bodice, the only exclusively romance bookstore in America, informed me Wicked Dance would be joining their shelves.

While my book has been out in the world since October 2017, and readers have been able to purchase print copies, there is something particularly special about having your book up on a real shelf. Especially, at a bookstore like The Ripped Bodice.

I am so happy and honored to have my book housed at this amazing store and I only hope to be able to visit them soon and meet the owners, Bea and Leah Koch.

So, if you are in the Culver City area, stop at The Ripped Bodice and check out their books! And if you happen to spot my book, take a selfie with it and tag me on Facebook or Instagram!

XOXO
