Excerpt

(Marcus)

“She’s adorable isn’t she?” she said. 

My look shifted toward John and Lucia, dancing and laughing. “Yes she is,” I answered, smiling to her. “And so are you.”

“I know,” she smirked back.

“Is she a professional dancer too?”

“Until the age of twenty she was the best dancer I’d ever seen,” she answered. “She moved to other passions after that.”

My gaze was always on Lucia and hers on mine. By the time they started to play “No me Ames” I went to get her back from John. 

“Missed me, Luce?” I asked her.

She brought her lips to mine for a kiss – a real, deep, long kiss. “John is a better dancer,” she answered.

“I bet. He does this for a living,” I said before kissing her again. “What’s with the Marc Anthony mar-athon here?” 

Lucia laughed, turning around and pressing her back against my chest. It felt amazing. “Noor’s doing, I’m sure.” Her hands were caressing my face and I kissed her neck. “It’s her favorite singer.” 

She turned around at the end of the song. I couldn’t speak anymore; my body was in full arousal. I kissed her with all I had and she kissed me back, matching the same passion. 

“Luce, you are so beautiful,” I hoarsely said.

“You’re not so bad yourself, Just Marcus.” Her fingers were under my shirt now; she kissed me some more then whispered “Do you want to get out of here?”

How could I say no? There was at least one good reason, but all I could think about was her lips, her smell, her touch, her smile. “Noor?” I whispered back.

“Like a cat always, she falls on her feet,” she laughed. “Andrew is waiting for her outside; we’ve all been drinking way too much.”

“Lead the way then.”  

She took my hand and led to the exit. I took my jacket after a quick, awkward farewell to John and Nella. Lucia hugged them both then we headed outside. Noor was already there kissing somebody I presumed to be her fiancé. She waved us goodbye and got into his car. Now it was just Lucia and me. I hailed a taxi and kissed her. I looked at her sweet, trusting face and felt like a real dick. She kissed my neck, giggling, and for some reason I giggled back. At that moment I was sure we would be able to talk about the whole Second Coming situation in the morning. But we never did. So now I’m going to have to confront her tomorrow.

 I really should have rung her.

Series – Coulda Woulda Shoulda Song Series - #2

Author – Danielle-Claude Ngontang Mba

Genre – Contemporary Romance

Release Date – January 18, 2014

  

Book two:

This would have been their perfect love song…

It has been two years since Lucia Mpobo-Riddell has made her choice between the two men in her life. She and her beloved would have been perfectly happy if it wasn’t for… the constant distractions from her past, her sister Noor’s complicated life, her own doubts and fears. Maybe there wasn’t such a thing as perfection and this was a lesson that Lucia was going to learn the hard way. 

Greg McMullen and Marcus Grant’s lives had been affected by Lucia’s choice that day in Glasgow two years ago. Since then one had been fighting to keep her when the other had been relentlessly trying to get her back. It soon became apparent to them that she wasn’t the Lucia they met and fell in love with anymore. Her life and priorities had completely shifted. To even consider keeping her or just getting her back, they would have to accept it or they would have to let her go. But would they ever be able to do either?

 Excerpt

(Lucia)

 Is he going for a kiss? I don’t think I can stop him because I really need to be kissed right now. He’s slowly, very lazily, moves up my chin. I almost want to jump up to get it started but I don’t.

When our lips finally touch, two things run through my mind: two years, five months and three days since our last kiss. The fact that I know that from the top of my head isn’t even scaring me. And… he’s bursting that fake life bubble! But Marcus isn’t content with messing up my life balance again. Because stupid me is responding to this…amazing, earthshattering kiss like my life depends on it.  The more he demands of me, the more I’m giving away. We moan, we whimper, we suck each other’s lips and tongues… I somehow get pulled up over Stanford’s desk and my legs somehow find themselves…where the heck are my legs? There they are, nicely cradling Marcus. One of us is going to need to come up for air soon, says the one who has her hands so tightly tangled in Marcus’ hair, I don’t think he could escape even if he wanted to. But I guess I’m a better swimmer than he is because he’s the one ending the kiss, says the girl with an engagement ring on her finger!

We are so out of breath, Marcus has to pull back and sits across the room. He looks angry, horny, sad and frustrated all at the same time and it’s a damn sexy look for Just Marcus… he gives his best cocky smile to date. “So Meme, shall we go find your daughter?”

“...” Nothing is coming out… I can’t talk. I can’t freaking speak. I slide down the desk. This is a proud moment for me. My engagement ring is burning my hand… but it could all be in my head.

“Luce are you all right?” he asks now genuinely concerned.

“...” I’m pathetic. Marcus has rendered me speechless. Glasgow looks like the place to be right about now. I can feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. Guilt…

“Love…no, please don’t cry. I should have known better than kissing you, in your state,” he says coming back to me. I’m pretty sure he’s going to kiss me again at least to stop me from crying like an idiot. But unfortunately… he sticks to my forehead. “I’m sorry.”

“…” I just rest my heard on his chest. We understand each over.

 The fabulous author...me!

A Shadow on the Ground by Rebecca Lee Smith, Guest Post, Excerpt & Giveaway

A Shadow on the Ground

By Rebecca Lee Smith

Today, I'm joined by author Rebecca Lee Smith talking about writing for the market. Pleasing the puboishers is a subject I can get quite passionate about so it's fabulous to have another author's experience. 

WRITING FOR THE MARKET
Making Your Manuscript Fit...or Not.

Write the book of your heart, stay true to your story, and sooner or later, your manuscript will sell. 
I spent years slogging hopefully through slush piles, believing those words were true. But are they? And if they aren’t, what do you do then?
A Shadow on the Ground is the second book I’ve published, but it’s also the sixth manuscript I completed. I’m now working on number seven, so I’ve been around the query block a few times. One of my earlier manuscripts received sixty-six rejections from agents and publishers. It didn’t seem to fit in anywhere. But that didn’t stop me from trying to make it fit. Not romantic enough for the romance market? Fine, I’ll just add a few more love scenes. Too much romance for the mystery genre? Sure, I’ll cut back on the romance. Too verbally explicit for the straight-arrow library market? No problem. I’ll toss out all the hells, damns, and F-bombs. Eventually, I rewrote the life out of that book again and again, determined to please everyone. Or anyone. 
Taking a manuscript you’ve nurtured, polished, and poured your soul into until it’s the best you can offer, then hacking it up to fit the submission requirements of various publishing houses can be a long, frustrating challenge. It can also leave you with the uneasy, desperate feeling that you’re capable of selling out, of doing anything to see your book in print. And if the finished product isn’t what you envisioned, you’ll have to decide if making changes you don’t fully believe in, and aren’t really “you” as a writer, is the price you’re willing to pay for a publishing contract. 
The last rewritten version of that poor lifeless manuscript was almost unrecognizable to me, like an aging movie star whose face has been nipped and tucked so many times they look only vaguely familiar. I finally performed euthanasia on it, and put it to rest. Then I started writing something new. Something to please me. But this time I approached it differently. I couldn’t let this new manuscript, A Dance to Die For, (which ended up being the first book I sold) be all things to all people. I had to decide who I wanted to target, the style I felt most comfortable writing in, then give it my all. I had to figure out a way to balance the mystery and the romance that felt authentic to me. All my mysteries have romance in them; I can’t get away from it. When I get to know and like my heroine, I want to give her someone to love. 
Deciding what I wanted to write didn’t feel like selling out, it felt like finding my niche and embracing it. I began following my gut in other ways as well. I abandoned the Great Agent Search, which had begun to feel demeaning, and stopped querying publishers who would expect me to mold my writing into something it could never be. This doesn’t mean I’ll be wed to one genre for the rest of my career, but it helped me focus on where I am now. 
I know many writers who have modified their manuscripts to fit the market, and it has worked well for them. I read an article about a writer who took all the sex out of her book, added faith struggles for the hero and heroine, and sold it as an inspirational romance. I hope writing in her new genre is what this author truly loves, because if she’s successful, she may be stuck with it for a good long while. 
I believe one of the reasons I finally snagged that elusive publishing contract is that I stopped trying to please everybody. Instead, I concentrated on writing what made me happy, what I wanted to read, what I was passionate about, and I think it showed in the writing. It also kept me sane. Because it is impossible to please everyone, you know. If you try, you’ll end up pleasing no one.



Fabulous post Rebecca!  I love that you discovered writing the book you wanted to write rather than pleasing the industry.  I started writing for my readers and have written five novels in 2 years. 


Here's more on Rebecca's latest romantic mystery A Shadow on the Ground. 

The Deets...

Morgan Maguire is afraid to believe in second chances. The family orchard is failing, her twin brother is being framed for murder, and the sharks are circling. The tough exterior she's spent years hiding behind is beginning to crumble, just as the man who shattered her heart is back in her life. Gage Kirkland is as compelling and magnetic as ever, and he's offering the kind of help she may not be able to refuse. But can she trust him?

To finance his troubled son's therapy, Gage, a former investigator, takes one last job--recovering a stolen Civil War artifact. Unfortunately, it's in the possession of the woman he left behind, the woman who's haunted his dreams ever since. The electricity between them still crackles, but unless he helps exonerate her brother and finds a way to confess his true reason for returning, how will he ever recover Morgan's heart.

Sneak peek inside the cover of A Shadow on the Ground.

Gage grinned, making Morgan’s heart beat in slow, rolling thuds. “I'm going to make some calls about finding Sean representation. If he goes up against a murder charge, he'll need the best lawyer we can find.”

“We?”

“We.”

He held her gaze while a current of electricity sliced a path through the center of her abdomen.

“I didn't want to leave you alone last night,” he said.

“I was fine.”

“Well, I wasn't.”

“Oh, come on. A big, tough, adrenaline junkie PI like you?”

“Not so tough when the bullets are flying.”

Memories of the night before slammed into her brain—the sound of gunshots cracking the air, Gage pushing her off the flagstone walk, lying stone still beside him in the wet grass with a broken rhododendron stob biting into her neck. If she closed her eyes, she could still feel his breath crashing across her shoulder, the pulse at the base of his throat flicking against her cheek. How long had it been since she’d touched a man? Or been wrapped like his most cherished possession in the strong, shielding warmth of his arms? Had she ever felt so safe? Would she ever feel that safe again?

Maybe she should hold on to the memory. Bury it deep. Then, when she needed comfort, she could take it out and replay it over and over in her head to drive the unbearable loneliness away. Until something that felt like contentment trickled through her bloodstream, like a double shot of apple brandy on a cold, wintry night.

A shadow fell over the table.

She lifted her eyes and gasped softly. The last thing she expected to see were the pale, twisted, angry eyes of Lawrence Finch.
