Let me preface the following book trailer by stating that my publisher must live within my head! She hit the nail SQUARE on its head with this one! I LOVE the way it has turned out.
Please take a brief look at what Stephanie's story (our domestic violence survivor) has to tell...
Stephanie
had been held hostage in an abusive marriage for nearly twelve years. She was
manipulated, controlled and abused by her mentally unstable husband. The last
physical altercation drove Stephanie to begin a new life, alone, just her and
her ten-year-old son, Ray.
Stephanie
made an exit plan. She would find a new school for Ray, a full-time job and a place
to live and just when she thought that life would be calm and peaceful, her
monster of a husband, soon to be ex-husband would rear his ugly head.
Stephanie
winds up meeting a new friend through work. As time passes, they find that they
are developing feelings for one another. After the divorce is final her
ex-husband stirs up trouble yet again.
Would
Stephanie and her new friend become an item or would all the trouble from her
ex-monster have him packing his bags and running? Would Stephanie finally be
awarded full custody of her son or would her ex sabotage that from ever
happening?
Hot Cocoa, Green Tea, And the Man Who
Sweetened My Heart, is a compelling story of love, fear, hatred and
self-transformation with a touch of humor, intimacy and a hint of the
paranormal.
Deanna
has always aspired to be a writer. She started writing poetry and short stories
and the young age of seven.
Born in New
Jersey, Deanna currently lives in a suburb of
Raleigh, North
Carolina. She says. “I will always be a Jersey girl at
heart.” Which is why she came up with her own recipe for, New Jersey coffee cake, that she
shares at the end of this book. She has had several of her original recipes
published over the years. They have been featured in publications such as:
Taste of Home Magazine, Taste of Home “Best Of” cookbooks, Gooseberry Patch
cookbooks, local magazines and Women’s Day online, to name a few.
We are officially in October now and the leaves are starting to fall. Cool mornings are a welcome treat as are the pumpkin spice offerings being sold in stores.
I decided to host my photo shoot for the back cover of my new book, OUTSIDE this time. I do not regret this decision!
Check out what I have to say about the photo shoot and a few added bits about the next book in the making...
PS...the picture you see is one of the photos taken during the photo shoot! (But, not the one chosen for the back cover.)
Happy Autumn! I am excited about cool weather and changing leaves! I am also excited to share that novel number three will be released before Christmas this year.
I have created a new video with more information...
Please take a few minutes to listen to me share about the new book and domestic violence. I have decided to share a piece of my heart with the world!
I am the Queen of organization. Often times it is helpful, like when I need to find something and at work, but to those who are not organized, I look like a freak of nature. I don't care though...I can find my stuff and they can't.
I mentioned in my previous post that I started a YouTube channel about life as an author. Well, you better believe I created a post about crafting your own, specialized personal planner.
Check out my video where I show and tell about planner I have tried before and why they didn't work for me...
Check out my snazzy socks...don't you love them? I have a new fascination with Instagram. I found a company called: HAPPY SOCKS and I am head over heals for their socks. I will share my pictures after I make my purchase!
As I mentioned, you can see my welcome video by following the link I posted to Diane's website. Here, I will share my second video about creating your own writing space as my new YouTube channel is about writing and life as an author...
