Passion-Filled Fairy Tales

Happy Dance Time

/ rosettabloomauthor

dancing-girl-556772_1280Doing my happy dance right now, because I just finished my final edit of my version of Cinderella for the Passion-Filled Fairy Tales series. I got a great start with the Princess, the Pea & the Night of Passion and followed up with Beauty & Her Beastly Love, but then things just fizzled. It took me forever to really finish Cinderella (I finished at the end of June). Since then, I’ve been editing, revising, having some people read it to get feedback.

Tonight, I finished the last round of edits I wanted to do myself. Next up, I’ll be sending it to the editor, and getting the cover done. Woo hoo! So excited, I felt the need to write this blog post.  It really does feel good to get one finished. 🙂

In other news, I got behind on my Trysts series because of vacation and Cinderella. But, the newest one, Tryst No. 4, should be back from the editor tomorrow, and it will be published by Aug. 20. So, stay tuned if you’re waiting. Both books will be part of Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program and you’ll be able to borrow them at no cost.

 

Summer is Getting Away From Me

pool-690034_1280Happy hump day to you. I have no idea why I so often write to you on hump day.  (Some psychologist or psychiatrist out there could probably offer up some decent theories, I’m sure.)

Anyway, jut wanted to write a quick check-in blog post to say, Hello, and let you know I’m sending Jack & Brenda to the editor tomorrow. I went on vacation to my family reunion for a week, and have had trouble getting back into the swing of things, so I do apologize. However, my kids are in camp this week, and it’s my hope to finish the first edit of my Cinderella re-telling, so that tale can get further on the path to publication.

In other news, I’ve changed my free perk for mailing list subscribers. If you sign up for the list, you can get a free electronic copy of The Princess, the Pea and the Night of Passion.  That’s a great intro into the Passion-Filled Fairy Tales series. It’s received great reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. If you haven’t done so already, you can sign up for the mailing list here (instructions on getting your free ebook follow the signup process).

That’s about it for me today. How about you? Is your summer going well? Are you getting things done or are all the vacations making it hard for you to tick stuff off the To Do list?

May your love continue to bloom.

New Reviews!

bb_cover_normalskin2Beauty and Her Beastly Love received a great review over on Big Als and Pals blog.

Here’s a quote from the review:

“I think I enjoyed this one even more than The Princess and the Pea, and I really loved it. This retelling stays pretty close to the original version of Beauty and the Beast, however it is the added story that makes it so great.”

Isn’t that lovely? I’m just pleased as punch.

trysts1DrCarterSinncoupleContrastAlso, Romance: Trysts No. 1 received it’s first review. Four stars and lovely. It’s on Amazon.

On a final note, The Princess, the Pea and the Night of Passion is no longer exclusive to Amazon. I’m trying it on Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Apple for the next few weeks to see how it fares (should be at all venues by Tuesday, June 2). If I find I don’t really sell anything in those other venues, I’ll return the book to Kindle exclusivity, which allows it to participate in the Kindle Unlimited program.

Romance: Trysts have begun

/ rosettabloomauthor

trysts1DrCarterSinncoupleContrastHappy Tuesday to you all. I hope you had a great holiday weekend. Mine was fun and filled with travel. Heard the most awesome true love story ever. Really. A friend in her late 70s happened to tell us the story of the first time she saw her husband ( he was older than her, so she was just 13 at the time) and she told her twin sister that he was the handsomest man she’d ever seen. He had wavy blond hair, blue eyes, and a gray shirt and blue jeans. It was amazing the detail she remembered (they were married 40+ years; and he died more than a decade ago). Every time she speaks of him, her face just lights up. True love. In real life. That is lovely, I think.  Anyway, that may have planted a seed in my mind for a story.

I just thought I’d formally announce that the Trysts series I mentioned earlier is out, at least the first installment. These stories tend to be more erotic in nature than my other series, but still have the air of romance about them. The first in the series, Dr. Carter and Mrs. Sinn is a touch shorter than the others, which is why I thought I’d start the series with it. Though, it’s not as romantic as the others, so maybe it wasn’t a good choice. (I hate second-guessing myself).

Anyway, the plan is to release one every two to three weeks. The next two in the series are completed, and undergoing some edits now. I hope to have Tryst No. 2, Nikki and Mike up and out in early June. This is a great series for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, because it’s several short, quick reads that should leave you smiling satisfactorily when they’re over. (You may even want a cigarette 😉 ). I made a book trailer for Dr. Carter & Mrs. Sinn. I’ll stick that at the end. Also, a quick note that Beauty and Her Beastly Love is on sale, for just 99 cents this week. It’s part of a Kindle Countdown Deal so the price will tick back up on its ow accord at week’s end.
