Goddess Fish Book Blast: Meredith Schorr & A State of Jane

Meredith has 3 stories in one.  I'm featuring A State of Jane today. 

A STATE OF JANE:

Jane Frank is ready to fall in love. It’s been a year since her first and only relationship ended and far too long since the last time she was kissed. With the LSAT coming up, she needs to find a boyfriend (or husband) before acing law school and becoming a partner at her father’s firm. There’s just one problem: all the guys in New York City are flakes. Interested one day and gone the next, they seemingly drop off the face of the earth with no warning and no explanation.

In her misguided belief that life doesn’t really start until you get married and have kids, Jane jumps from one extreme to the next trying to force a happily ever after until she breaks. Will she ever find her path, and can she do it without alienating her friends and family and risking her career in the process?

ENJOY THIS EXCERPT: 

 “How did you leave things?”

“He kissed me goodbye and put me in a cab.” I narrowed my eyes at her. “What’s with the interrogation, Lainie?”

Ignoring my question, she asked another one of her own. “What did he say?”

“I don’t know. It was kind of fuzzy. Too much wine. He had to get up early the next day.”

Lainie snorted. “What? To drive his sister to the airport or something?”

“His roommate actually. What’s so funny?”

Lainie stared at me. Waiting for an answer, I stared back. Finally, she said, “He really said he had to take his roommate to the airport?”

I nodded.

“And you believed him?”

“Yes. Why not? You think he was lying?” Please say no.

“I don’t know. What happened on your date?”

“What do you mean? We had dinner, drank some wine, smooched. Randall wanted me to go home with him but totally understood when I said I wanted to take things slow.”

Lainie pushed away her plate of sushi, reached across the table, and put her hand over mine. She shook her head. “Sweetie, I don’t think Randall will have the pleasure of seeing you in your sexy new underwear.”

I felt my muscles tighten and swallowed hard. “Why not?”

Looking at me in disbelief, Lainie raised her voice. “Girl, you’ve been blown off. Randall the Great is really Randall the Rat!” Lowering her voice, she said, “Don’t feel bad though. You didn’t do anything wrong aside from refusing to do him. I applaud you. He’s a slug.”

Hearts & Flowers - Valentines & Cards

Roses, free image, Credit: Dreamstime

Tomorrow is Valentines Day! It's a day filled with warm hearts, lots of chocolate, romantic dinners, foil balloons, cards, and yes, roses. Why do you give roses? Or why do you like to receive roses?  For me, receiving roses is how I can tell the person giving them is truly thinking of me. Mainly, I like how roses smell -- divine.

I hope you have a great Valentines day.  Here are some facts about roses:

Roses have been with us over 35 million years.

Napoleon's wife, the Empress Josephine, was a well known rose breeder.

Rose water is used in baklava.

Roses are a minor source of vitamin C.

The Rose Bowl is the oldest bowl. It was first played in 1902.

Cleopatra used roses to seduce Marc Antony.

The oldest blooming rose bush is in Germany. It's over 1,000 years old.

Question for you:  How do you like to spend Valentines Day? This year, I'll be sharing cards with my boys and sharing Lindt Strawberry Crème truffles with them.

Enjoy this short romance:  Journey of the Heart:

Blurb: Set in Sonoma, CA in 1946, can James help Rachel save her winery or will he drift out of her life the same way he drifted in?

13, 5 Star Reviews on Amazon

The story was compelling and not boring, which is often a stereotype of sweet romances. I would recommend this short sweetie of a story. Good job, author. - Angel E

Excerpt: 

"Your case threatened to run away, so I bribed it." Her sweet expression was an arrow through his heart. 

"Really? What did you bribe it with?" He wiped the sweat off his brow with a handkerchief, caused from a combination of the summer heat and lifting the heavy cases. 

"A job."

He hooked his thumb toward his chest. "Are you offering me a job, Miss Santori?"

About this snippet:    Michael tries to stir Rosa' memories. 


ENJOY THIS SNIPPET:

Her heart swelled in happiness and then anger took over. Who was he to kiss her like this? She struggled, but he crushed her to him, ravishing her mouth.
That nagging familiarity buzzed at the base of her skull. She should know this man. Despite her ignorance, her body sensed a knowledge of him she couldn't explain. Her core warmed at his insistence. She struggled less.
Michael -- yes, that was his name -- Michael broke the kiss and gasped for breath.

99 cents young adult romance: Young Witchcraft #kindledeal #99cents

3RD PLACE: Young/New Adult Short Story, International Digital Awards 2015

BLURB:

Rachel's secret would have Cotton Mather rolling over in his grave. She's been raised from an early age to use magic for good, despite her temptation to cast a spell against Phil the bully who can't stop teasing her. 

Joe thinks Rachel is cool, especially when she weaves her healing magic spells on him, but he's got his own problems. It's not easy keeping Rachel safe from Phil's constant threats.

When Phil poisons Rachel, can love and little young witchcraft bring Rachel and Joe together or have years of Phil's bullying ruined their relationship for good?

EXCERPT: 

Suzie bumped into Rachel's shoulder. Rachel nearly lost her balance, extended her leg, and regained her bearing. Thank the broomsticks Suzie's contact didn't start a bleeding episode.

"I'd be careful if I were you. Don't cross me."

"What you did was mean and you know it." Rachel squared her shoulders, despite the knots in her stomach.

Suzie narrowed her eyes.

"Is there a problem?" Joe approached, his arms crossed.

"You two losers deserve each other." Suzie rolled her eyes and walked off.

Rachel swallowed hard, pushing the hurt from Suzie's comment aside for now. Rachel glanced at Joe. "Anna's ankle is swollen. Can you help her out to her car?"

"Sure."

Rachel smiled her appreciation at Joe. He'd grown tall, over six feet and his green eyes sparkled like gems when the light caught them a certain way. His blond hair had darkened a bit to sandy blond, but he kept his hair in a nice neat cut. He often had a five o'clock shadow that she found incredibly attractive on him. Joe was lean and with thin muscles, and not an ounce of fat on him. He could tear up a refrigerator. Fruit, pizza, and celery were his favorite foods. He was as picky as a black cat about what he ate since he had a peanut allergy. Joe played on the football team as a tight end or a running back. His practice must have gotten over early tonight.

A part of her wanted to reach out for his hand like she did when they were kids, back when life wasn't so complicated, but something held her back. Hurt? Doubt? Lack of courage? She sighed. Her self-esteem had taken a big hit today, but she wanted to be a good friend to Anna so she brushed aside her anxiety. Now that Joe was here, Rachel could do anything.
