On The Edge Of Heartache

When a high-stakes airliner emergency drops Alicia into the arms of hunky firefighter Brent, she finds herself torn and distracted.

The hidden charms of small-town Alaska create the perfect setting for entangled hearts and rising emotions.

On a path to heartbreak, or bliss.

With nothing in between.

If you're  a regular here on the blog (and I know you are, even if I'm not so regular myself), you'll know that mostly I'm off writing in other genres. You know, Science Fiction and Thrillers and even those Fantasies you've seen popping up this year. Why confuse things with something that's clearly romance? I mean, you can tell from the cover, right? Right? If not, then I'm doing something wrong.

My answer? I'm interested in telling stories. Making stuff up. Stuff with an upbeat ending, and this genre guarantees that. While my SF and other stuff does have positive endings, the genre doesn't necessarily demand it. Horror, on the other hand, well.

So with this I just tried to tell the best story I could. It's a sweet romance, with no spice, in case you're wondering. Always conscious that my mum might read something I've written. Yeah.

It's occurred to me that I'm always listening to music as I write and publish, so I thought I might mention what I'm currently listening to, you know, in case it's something you might enjoy.

Right now, I'm immersed in listening to Wisp's album If Not Winter. Part of, I guess, the shoegaze revival happening now. If Not Winter is a wonderful blend of drenching guitars run through pedals, with delicate softly-sung melodies. Sometimes that distortion is a little much for my taste, but there's enough of the acoustic side to keep it engaging and fun.

Thanks for reading.
