NaNoWriMo

It's HERE!  Its NaNoWriMo!

NaNoWriMo website


I'm planning to start writing tomorrow and work on the sequel to Love by Knight.


I'm just waiting for my print proof to arrive for final approval....then I'll have an official release date.  Stay tuned for the updated information


 A thrilling tale of romance across time, Love by Knight is the story of Kelly Taylor. Recently widowed, she is finally able to follow her dream and explore the mysteries of the Knights Templar. She never knew what she might find at a newly uncovered Templar village. 


Neil Adams was the kind of man that attracted women wherever he went. Tall and attractive, with curly grey-flecked hair and a slightly off-center nose, Kelly was drawn to him even before she realized that he was wealthy. If only she hadn’t so recently sworn off men! And why did she meet him halfway around the world. What chance did she have to see him again?

When repeated nightmares drive Kelly to look into past-life regression therapy she discovers much more than she expected about her connection to the Knights Templar, she finds that she is not the only one who has lived more than one life. Is it possible that she was destined to find Neil in this life? Or is this yet another glancing blow between the two souls?

Love by Knight is the second novel in the Past Lives series by author AC Chenier, which bring together fantasy, romance, and a spirituality that binds it all together across time and space.


And hopefully by the end of NaNoWriMo I'll have the sequel complete in first draft. Stay tuned, and follow my progress on Facebook.

The Bridesmaids’ Checklist: Laura’s Wedding
by K.T. Castle

BLURB:

Kassandra is a single, independent woman who prides herself on her own success. But when she’s asked by her best friend Laura to be the Maid of Honor in her wedding, Kassandra finds herself questioning her lifestyle. Helping Laura plan the wedding is no problem—she’s done it before for all their other friends. The first time was a blast, the second super fun, but doing it without receiving any help from the rest of the girls gets old really fast.

The whole event kicks off with the worst kind of surprise when Kassandra discovers who her friend's fiancĂ© really is, and she's torn between supporting Laura's future happiness and hiding the deeply buried, intimate past she shares with the groom-to-be. Struggling to be the bigger person and do all the hard work on her own, Kassandra finds surprising comfort in Josh, the best man in the wedding and someone she's been avoiding for years. He's charming, thoughtful, handsome, and the worst kind of womanizer, but she just can't seem to stay away. All the while, Kassandra can't help wondering if the wedding could be any more clichĂ©—until she finds unexpected ways to change things up a bit.

EXCERPT

From Chapter 11

“Why are you here, Josh?” I couldn't hold back my curiosity any longer.

“What do you mean?”

He seemed completely caught off guard by my direct question, and I had to remind myself that he couldn’t see inside my head. I really didn’t know what I wanted to hear, but Edward’s words kept coming back to me. Maybe Josh only wanted to sleep with me, nothing else—although it seemed like a lot of trouble for only a night of pleasure.

“Do you really only care about getting into my pants?” I asked, bordering somewhere between a pleading glance and a glare.

Josh seemed to relax a bit before he answered me. “You know I do. But not in the way that moron phrased it. I don’t want you thinking about it like that.”

“You have no idea what I’m thinking,” I quipped.

“I don’t,” Josh said quietly. “I wish I had a clue.” Then he stepped closer to me and tilted his head. “And obviously you don’t know how I feel about you, either.”

“Then explain it to me.” I didn’t try to back away from him this time.

This time he looked at me with different eyes. I didn’t see myself broken in them anymore.

EXCERPT



“Whoever it is has gone,” he said, his voice low and rumbling.  “I heard footsteps going down the hall.”  He crossed his powerful arms across his chest.  “Keep your door locked at all times,” he said and turned to leave as quietly as he came.  He heaved a huge sigh and keeping his back to her said, “I know you are in danger, I want to help you.  But I can’t unless you let me.” 

“I can’t,” she stated simply.  She was tempted, oh so much, but she couldn’t simply lay her problems onto someone else’s lap. 

“Why not,” he said turning back toward her.  

“I just can’t,” she said, her brown eyes were flat and still.  She didn’t trust her voice to say anything more however, and pressed her lips together to stave off the burning of tears she felt in her throat and behind her eyes.  She watched as Kyle turned the key in the lock and twisted the knob, opening the door slowly and examining the hallway beyond carefully, before opening it wider and stepping through. 

“Regardless of your feelings toward me,” He said softly, back still turned, “I will keep you safe.  I only wish you would confide in me.” 

And then he was gone shutting her door behind him.
