Happy Six Sentence Sunday! 

Am I channeling the Bangles? Nope! But it is another amazing Six Sentence Sunday!

Hey again! Yep, it is another L'Amore Perfetto post for six sentence sunday - hope you don't mind!

This week I thought I would give you a look-see into how the guys are feeling about waiting to meet their soul mates. In this scene, Ryan and Christopher are visiting their father and Ryan has just announced that L'Amore Perfetto has found his soul mate.

“So, did he tell you anything about her?”

Ryan shook his head. “Nope. Just that she was at orientation for her training today and that he thought I would be bowled over by her.”

“She was at orientation?” Dad asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Yeah, why?”

As well, you should ask, Ryan! Read more in L'Amore Perfetto!

Book Description:

Chick-lit meets a modern-day fairy-tale.

Nicki hates to date; the whole putting herself out there night after night after night is not her thing. Unfortunately, her roommate is the exact opposite. When Kristen comes up with her newest man-catching ploy, joining a discriminating dating service that accepts less than 5% of its female applicants, Nicki sees an opportunity and gets Kristen to agree that if she applies and does not get accepted, that Kristen won’t bug her about going out for nine months.

Full steam ahead, she jumps into the multi-step application process. Each step increases her desire to make it to the next one and when she makes it, she is thrown into a world she didn’t know existed. Will she falter in this new life or will she make it to the end and meet her soul mate?

Six Sentence Sunday

As several people contacted me about my book from two weeks ago, I figured I would give a little more about L'Amore Perfetto here.

Imagine if you found a dating service that promised you the world. If you were accepted as one of their exclusive clientele, what would you go through to get there? In this scene from L'Amore Perfetto, Nicki and her roommates find out just what the application process is.

“Step 1: You will fill out the five-page questionnaire and submit it with two photos of just yourself, a face and a full body shot. No glamour shots accepted, they would be grounds for immediate refusal.
“Step 2: If you pass Step 1, you will be invited to an interview with five of our relationship specialists.
“Step 3: If you pass Step 2, you will be required to submit to a complete physical with a physician chosen by us.
“Step 4: If you pass Step 3, you will be invited to an intimate dinner party, so that we can observe you in a social situation.
“Step 5: If you reach Step 5, you will fill out a twenty-page questionnaire with one of our relationship experts. This will be an all-day interview.”

Looks a bit daunting, would you be willing to go through that? Nicki does and finds a life so much better than anything she ever expected.

Six Sentence Sunday:

I do love this Six Sentence Sunday idea where I can share with you a snippit of my work. This week, I am introducing you to Braun, the lead character in In Search of the Drasta, a fantasy novel.



The junior scientists were ecstatic as they had so many ideas that the seniors would not even think of. They made the proposal that the person who came up with an idea that worked would become Chief Scientist forever, or until he decided to step down. Their offer accepted: they set about making plans. Of the seventeen scientists who were trying to fix the problem, 3 groups ended up forming: one group of twelve, one group of four, and one lone scientist who said he did not want to work with others because he was too smart for any of them, which is the actual reason none of them had asked him to be on their team. Braun Tapesh was, in fact, quite brilliant, but he truly believed himself better than anyone else.

As ideas were put forth and rejected, the junior scientists started to worry about their own fates.

Book Description:

Some days it just doesn’t pay to be brilliant. Braun Tapesh is the chief scientist for the planet E’Loi and is happy to tell anyone who happens to be standing near him that it is he who saved his planet.

Despite his advanced scientific knowledge, Braun makes a small mistake and unwillingly finds himself on a rescue mission to find the Drasta—the last true Eloim female born on the planet. Unwillingly thrown into his own science experiment, he is tossed across the universe in a special chamber he created. Much to his dismay, he is transported into the body of a university student and must learn to eat Earth food and adjust to life on a college campus—all while still focusing on his important mission to locate the Drasta and bring her home. Soon, he is traveling from planet-to-planet with two humans, a princess, and a half-dwarf in tow. But someone else is on the same mission and will do anything to snatch the Drasta first.

Just when Braun wonders what could possibly be worse, he realizes he never should have asked.

It's a woman?

Creating the characters for a story is an incredible journey. Sometimes the character itself comes to me and I can just stick a name that fits the personality. Today, I went around it differently.

I had a story idea that was amusing me and started penning down ideas for it. While I could see some of the storyline, the main character was cloudy to me. Then I started looking up  baby-name sites. After two hours of searching and not finding, an idea came to me. I had to google it to get the correct spelling but suddenly I had a name. Within fifteen minutes, my character had a bio, a basic background, and a sarcastic sense of humor.

I feel like I gave birth to a 25-year-old with no patience!

Ah the joys of author-hood...
