    Are You Missing Out on the Indie Publishing Revolution? Tell us a love story! Writing Romance Novels in the 21st Century!

    This book is a simple beginner’s guide for YOU to get started immediately writing and publishing your first (or next) romance ebook. I want to make the process simpler for you and more direct. It’s filled with HINTS and TIPS that you can really come back to at any point while you're WRITING ABOUT LOVE, and you can jump to any section you need to for a bit of inspiration or information. 

    I want to cut to the chase with the steps you need to take, and I want to let you know that AT ANY TIME you can put down this book and just GO start writing your romance novel or short story. (I’ll be here when you get back!) 

    You are a writer today!

    We’ll discuss why you should write a romance novel, how to get started, and what’s involved with your main characters, your “world”, your storyline, and your plot. We’ll discuss everything from steamy love scenes to choosing titles and creating ebook covers. We’ll talk about editing, marketing, pen names, romance creativity, and so much more! 

    (But we’ll be quick so you can get writing!)

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to the undeniable LOVE of my life

      who loves me in a way

      that has made my entire world better.

      I am glad I found you!

      CHAPTER ONE

      Introduction

      LIFE ITSELF IS ALL about creativity, and you probably stumbled upon this book because you have creative urges of your own -- some fulfilled and others completely hidden away!

      I love to write.  It's fun! And I truly want to help you on your path to becoming a full-fledged writer. So the way I see it, we are crossing PATHS at the perfect time!

      Seriously, writing is amazing.

      I love the fact that there are readers (like you!) who read my thoughts and ideas in these pages. I love it when readers really connect with my ideas, my worlds, my characters, and my storytelling. I love it when I complete a project, get it published, feel the sense of accomplishment, and then start to (almost immediately) look forward to the next one!

      But honestly, I write mostly for me.

      I love the creativity that's required. It's fun to tell stories, and my writing gives me exciting goals of finishing, publishing, and launching my work out into the world!

      I have a fulfilling sense of completeness with each project, and I love all the aspects of crafting my story. Then, if they are read by ten people, one hundred people, a thousand readers -- it doesn't really matter.

      It's 95% for me!

      So writing romance is something you really should do for yourself! This beginner's guide to writing and publishing a great romance novel ebook is about writing that book FOR YOU. YES! YES! YES!

      Here's why:
