Hi. I enjoyed the video. Great tunes. I am amazed that all of your books are so up beat. Most of them have some kind of empowerment in them. Is this a conscious decision or just who you are?

Hello everyone. Sorry it took so long to make it. Thanks for the congrats.
ReplyDeleteA Life of My Own is about Liz, a woman who's been married for 11 years to a man who has 2 daughter and who is verbally and mentally abusive. Liz realizes that she deserves better, with the help of a new friend, and sets out to find it.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part of writing it was not to have it turn into a romance.
I guess me writing stories that are upbeat is something that comes from my subconscious. I never really thought about. I like happy endings, and though it seldom happens in real life, I like to think it happens in our dreams.
ReplyDeleteHappy release day, Denise! This latest sounds like a good one--your stories are so heartfelt!
ReplyDeleteDo you do anything special to commemorate your new releases? Framed coverflats? New bling? Dinner out? :)
Congrats!

Thank you. When I start a new book, I purchase something I like. Once I bought a bracelet, another time it was a Starbucks gift card. And I wrap it up and put it on my bookshelf. When I finish the book I’m working on, I get the gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea, Denise! That's both motivation AND a celebration! How clever!! (I may have to steal that idea...)
