She hugged herself. “I’m tired of running. I can’t do this anymore. I want to turn myself in.” She reached out and closed her thin hand around his wrist. “Mitch, please, help me.”
Her brother smiled.
Dear Reader,
It’s been a long time since I published a novel; about seven years, if anyone’s counting. My last book, a Kimani Hottie titled Everything to Me under my pen name, Simona Taylor, hit the shelves in 2012. After that, my life took a series of hairpin turns, in which I found myself, like so many writers, facing an ever-tightening post-crash market. I also found myself a single mom, alone for the first time in over 20 years.
Apart from the personal devastation, I discovered that I was no longer in a place to write romance. How do you write about love with a broken heart? How do write about forever when you aren’t sure you still believe in it?
I found new passions. I threw myself into my freelance writing company, The Scribble Pad. I began editing the works of other writers, coaching and encouraging. I began to ghostwrite memoirs. It was a new niche and I was happy there. But eventually, my desire to write found me, or I found it. My faith was renewed. As Jenessa says, “Love. It goes on and on. It doesn’t run out. It’s like sand on the beach, or stars in the sky.”
I’m happy to be writing again. Happy to be publishing again. Happy and proud to be bringing this new book, The Irresistible Mr. Cooper, to you.
