NOW AVAILABLE!!! FOUND AT THE POUND: A Senior Romance Featuring 2 Dog Lovers

                 

                                                                      
                                                                          AMAZON LINK    

    A lonely widower still mourning the loss of his wife. A bestselling author who's never found a man to live up to the heroes in her books.

    They both meet at the dog shelter. 

    If you like sweet, clean romance and also like to read about dogs, this ones for you!

    EXCERPT:

    No longer need he sit on the familiar couch in front of the TV and turn to share something with his wife, only to again realize she wasn’t there to hear or answer him.

    The huge sense of loss had not diminished over the past two years. This house held far too many memories for his peace of mind. Time to let go once and for all.

    Now the rooms lay empty, except for the precious memories of what once had been. Wherever he went, he’d carry those with him the rest of his days.

    Do No Harm

    I believe part of the Hippocratic oath is to do no harm. I also believe that's a good motto for an author to follow when writing.


    Without giving anything away, I'll just say my new release, A PERFECT ANGEL, which is the sequel to HER HANDYMAN, rights a necessary wrong done to a character in the first book. 

    Although each book is independent of the other and can be read separately, for best enjoyment, I recommend reading HER HANDYMAN first, and then A PERFECT ANGEL.

    After you've read them both, you'll see what I mean about Do No Harm.

    A Perfect Angel Just Got Released!

    Last evening, I took the plunge and finally released A Perfect Angel, the second of the two part, Perfect Match series. The first in the series was Her Handyman. I have some ideas about extending the series, but am not sure yet if that will happen. I have a number of other books to complete first!

    If you haven't yet read Her Handyman, I hate to give too much away. I can say I felt sorry for one of the characters in the first book. She was a nice person. I wanted her to get a happy ending, because she deserved it!

    Forever Young: Blessing or Curse Promo Tale

    Since my thriller, Forever Young: Blessing or Curse, had participated in quite a few KDP Select freebie events  before this past weekend, I wondered if the market was already saturated for this combination thriller, science fiction, and romance novel. Not so!

    I was pleasantly surprised when the major promotional site, Ereader News Today jumped on the bandwagon and picked up my novel on their site. What a difference it makes when a popular promotional site backs a book!

    For the first time, Forever Young: Blessing or Curse made it into the top 100 Free Kindle Books. Not only that, it made it to #50 and ranked at #2 in Science Fiction. That was quite a surprise, a very pleasant one at that!

    This is especially significant since I'm three-fourths through edits for the sequel, Blessing or Curse, which I hope to send to my editor, Helen Ginger, very soon for finishing touches.

    Moral of the story: don't sell your book short. There may still be great times ahead!

    Though Forever Young: Blessing or Curse is now back at its original price of $2.99, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can still get a free copy. Or, you can pay the $2.99. Here's the link: http://amzn.com/B006MO28CQ

    This book is for all those who wish to be young again, and for those who still are!

    What's Next?

    Her Handyman by Morgan Mandel
    I got a little sidetracked by Thanksgiving and my freebie promotion of  the romantic comedy, Her Handyman, which took a lot of doing. The competition is fierce. To get anyone to notice a book, even if it's free, isn't very easy. I did zillions of tweets, visited my Facebook groups and pages more than people probably wanted me to, and also sent out email blasts to egroups and personal friends, plus devised other methods to get attention, kind of like my dog, Rascal, does when I'm at the keyboard.

    The result was 2,322 more readers got to see Her Handyman than would have otherwise. At one point I got up to #137 on the Free Kindle Store list at Amazon, and was also #40 in Contemporary Romance. This was a decent showing, considering my promotion took place over Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, when tons of people were shopping, recuperating from Thanksgiving, or still out of town.

    I will be doing further promotions from time to time, but now must buckle down and finish Blessing or Curse, the sequel to Forever Young: Blessing or Curse.

    Blessing or Curse
    by Morgan Mandel
    While Forever Young: Blessing or Curse is a thriller with a touch of romance, Blessing or Curse is a romance, with a touch of thriller.

    Blessing or Curse focuses more on the personal lives of five very diverse people and those they love, but there are a few villains lurking in the background and also the aspect of the Forever Young pill, which turns someone back to a desired age. I wish someone would hurry up and invent one!

    My Guest, Romance Author Debra St. John, Tells Us About Her Next Big Thing for Thanksgiving

    My guest today is a very good friend of mine and a great romance author, by the name of Debra St. John. Debra is answering questions to share her Next Big Thing for Thanksgiving with us.

    What is the title of your book?
    An Unexpected Blessing

    Where did the idea come from for the book?
    I wanted to write a Thanksgiving story, so I had a lot of the background details in my head. I knew it would include all the best things about the holiday: food, things to be thankful for, and time with family. I also knew I wanted the setting to be a small town. The actual plot for the storyline just came to me one day.

    What genre does your book fall under?
    Contemporary romance. I’d call it cozy with some spice!

    Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
    Well, he’s not really an actor, but country singer Justin Moore has the right look and the right smile to play Joe. I think Natalie Portman would make a good Katy.

    What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
    When an ex-con and the girl he’s had a secret crush on for years reunite, the sparks fly and attraction blooms, but their love is put to the test by small town gossip that can’t get over his past.

    Is your book self-published or represented by an agency?
    It’s available from The Wild Rose Press.

    How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
    About two months.

    Who or what inspired you to write this book?
    Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, but it so often gets pushed aside and forgotten in the rush to get to Christmas. I wanted a book to celebrate all of the wonderful things about Thanksgiving.

    What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
    My heroine, Katy, shares my views about Christmas needing to wait its turn in order to give Thanksgiving its rightful due!

    Excerpt:
     “Are you going to dance with me or not?”
         “Yes, ma’am, I am.” He stood and offered his hand.
         She slid hers into his warm grasp. As always, his touch caused a little shock in her heart. The weight of a hundred pairs of eyes followed them out onto the floor. The dirt was packed smooth, and a ring of hay bales marked the area. Her tummy quivered with a combination of nerves and anticipation.
         He found an open spot, which wasn’t difficult with the other couples affording them a wide berth, and then curved his arm around her waist to draw her close. Her body fit perfectly against him. A shiver tingled through her. She rested her free hand on his shoulder.
         His thigh brushed hers as he rhythmically shuffled his feet to the music. His gaze captured and held hers. The rest of the room faded as she stared into the warm, melted chocolate brown of his eyes.
         She didn’t care that people whispered. Snuck glances. Or outright gaped. All she cared about was swaying to a soft, slow beat. The quicker thud of her heart. Strong arms wrapped around her. And the desire to stay right where she was. Maybe forever.

    Please welcome Debra St. John by leaving a comment.
