Woo hoo! It’s finally release day for Fury Scorned, book two in my New England Furies series. This sexy urban fantasy romance tells the story of Alex Hughes, an exotic dancer with an ancient Greek Fury living inside her head. Thank you so much to all my friends, fans, and readers!
October has been a busy month this year, and one of the best parts is the Romance Writers of Atlantic Canada writers’ retreat. Every year, a bunch of writer buddies get together at a gorgeous beach resort here in Nova Scotia for a weekend of writing, brainstorming, and fun. Although you definitely can’t swim at this time of year (unless you’re a member of the Polar Bear Club!), we always enjoy walks on the beach, feeding the bunnies that roam the resort, and delicious food at the main lodge.
Here in Canada, Thanksgiving just happened as well, and I have a lot to be thankful for. Last year at this time, I was an unpublished writer and was just starting to work on the manuscript I’ve entered into the SilverHart publishing contest. This year, I am a published author with one book out in the world and another on the way very soon. (Fury Scorned will be coming out on November 1, 2015!)
Thanks to all my readers for your awesome support – it means everything to me. And thanks to my fellow members of RWAC for your friendship and another fun retreat!
Dear friends and readers,
Thank you so, so much for voting for my manuscript, Man’s Ruin, in the SilverHart Publishing Contest. I am one of twenty-five semi-finalists with a chance to win a $10,000 publishing contract, and I couldn’t have advanced this far without your support. Stay tuned to find out the contest results in November!
With love and thanks,
Nicola
P.S. – For those who are just hearing about the contest, you can read the first few chapters of the manuscript for free at Wattpad!
Hey amazing friends and readers, I have some crazy exciting news. I have a 1 in 9 chance to win a $10,000 publishing contract with SilverHart publishing – but I need your help to do it!
Please check out this excerpt of my noir romantic suspense novel, Man’s Ruin, and leave a rating.
Your feedback will help me move on to the next round of judging!
When I signed in to Wattpad this evening, I was thrilled and honoured to find that my short story, “Junebug & Romeo: A 1950s Love Story”, is the winner of the latest Romance challenge! You can read it here, and be sure to look for it in the Wattpad story collection “Love Bites”, coming out soon.
I’m so excited to share my article, “5 Important Tips For Proper Use Of Images”, in the September issue of InD’Tale Magazine. In Canada, we don’t usually say “attorney” to mean lawyer, so it took me a few seconds to figure out what the “AAL” in my byline stands for (attorney at law)!
The first bit of the article is below, and you can check out the conclusion at www.indtale.com.
Along with the article, I am also advertising Fury’s Kiss in the magazine. The ad looks amazing thanks to my wonderful cover designer, Fionn Jameson.
When Jo Barrett comes up with a hare-brained scheme to avoid an arranged marriage, her lady’s maid and best friend, Olivia, knows it’s a bad idea but gives in to her friend’s plea for help.
Soon, Jo and Olivia find themselves in over their heads as they must juggle their secrets and lies to avoid disaster.
When asked for writing advice, Ray Bradbury supposedly once said, “Write a new short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.”
I may not manage it every week, but I’m going to try to take Mr. Bradbury’s advice. This week’s story is free on Wattpad – a YA, post-apocalyptic romance.
I’m very excited to share my latest, free short story, available now on Wattpad!
Junebug & Romeo: A 1950s Love Story
It is the summer of 1950. President Truman has just declared war on North Korea. “Mona Lisa” by Nat King Cole is at the top of the charts.
And June Cartwright is about to come face to face with the boy who broke her heart.
