Here we go...
Submit a review for Summer Fire and win! Let me know in the comments.
The Dirty Bits from Carina Press "give you what you want, when you want it. Designed to be read in an hour or two," these "microromances are guaranteed to pack a punch and deliver a happily-ever-after."
'You know how it is with Canadians. We come alive in the summer.'
Ayse had resigned herself to an interesting—but in the end unromantic—trip visiting family in Istanbul. Great-aunts, touristy sites and endless meals…until she meets fellow doctor Hakan.
All tanned skin and defined muscle under his polo shirt, his kisses cut off her breath, making her dizzy. His every touch is a thrill.
Ayse wants all of Hakan at once. His sweet mouth, the heat of his body against hers, their heartbeats slowing together.
A holiday romance might give her some blazing memories come the lonely winter, but maybe, just maybe, the fire between them doesn’t have to be as fleeting as the summer.For those times when size does matter. The Dirty Bits from Carina Press: quick and dirty, just the way we like it. One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!"
Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can
express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those
who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe
haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
Posting: The
first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day.
Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears
you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of
encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and
connect with your fellow writer - aim for a dozen new people each time - and
return comments. This group is all about connecting!
Be sure to link to this page and display the badge
in your post. And please be sure your avatar links back to your blog! Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG.
The awesome co-hosts for the February 1 posting of the IWSG
are Jacqui
Murray, Ronel
Janse van Vuuren, Pat Garcia, and Gwen
Gardner!
Every month, we announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG post.
These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience
or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it
inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Remember, the question is
optional!
February 1 question - If
you are an Indie author, do you make your own covers or purchase them? If you
publish trad, how much input do you have about what goes on your cover?

5. The Flight of Time: It's ready to go! I just need to put together the darn synopsis!
Comments
Thank you for visiting me at Shady's Place today! You are always welcome there, and I eagerly await another opportunity to entertain and educate you.
You are delightfully busy, Deniz, with multiple irons in fire. Speaking of fire, your book Summer Fire looks like a sizzler, and Vanessa's Fireborn series is an attention grabber as well.
Thanks again for your interest in Shady's Place Music & Memories. Enjoy the rest of your week, Deniz!
As for your ROW80 goals... I think it is a great idea to get books ready to be published together. But hold the option to dole them out maybe?
