Where do you get ideas for writing a book?

Dear Readers,
We asked Author Erica Penrod where she gets her ideas for writing books. Here's what she had to say:

"The first time I felt inspired to write a book was because of a random picture I saw in my mind. When I think about the memory now, there’s a dream like feeling associated with the event. I’m not sure if I dreamed it or not, but the image of a girl on a bench beneath a massive tree and a horse racing towards her captured my attention so vividly, I had to tell her story. Now when I write, I usually think of a situation, one so bound up with emotion, unraveling the details leads me to a romance story waiting to happen."

Book Excerpt from "Her Brilliant Cowboy Billionaire"

Dear Reader,

We love to share excerpts from our favorite books. Check this one out!

   “Let’s check out the art pieces in the auction.” She gently led him towards the first painting, expertly weaving through the throng. Jamon tried to smile at people as they passed. He didn’t see anyone on the list of “must meets” Gemma had given him. Then again, the thumbnails were a blur and he wasn’t sure he’d be able to match the pictures to the real people.
About a dozen easels were placed around the room, each holding a canvas of an original painting done by various world-renowned artists, Gemma explained. Jamon nodded to keep her talking. No matter how long he stared or how much money he had, some of the paintings looked like a five-year-old had gotten hold of a paintbrush; a squiggly line was a squiggly line.
              “If I buy one of these, do I have to keep it?” Jamon frowned at the picture in front of them. Three thick purple lines circled in and out of one another. A light grey line slashed through all three, and a half dozen thinner ovals, grouped in threes, made up the final product.
Gemma stared at the image with appreciation. Something in her expression had changed. Her eyes held a note of serenity he had yet to see in her hard-nosed business persona. He stepped closer, and her vanilla and lace fragrance filled his head. He glanced back at the painting. Anything to put that look on her face was worth any price tag. “You like this?”
              She swallowed as if she were trying to hold back her emotions and nodded. “It reminds me of dancing. Expression through the ebb and flow of the lines, the extensions and points, the eloquence.” Gemma seemed lost in a world of her own, one he couldn’t begin to relate to. His only experience with dance was the country swing. While he had a good time doing it, the movement didn’t evoke any emotional ties. “I love it,” she whispered.
Jamon’s world suddenly shifted. He wasn’t seeing the painting in a new light; he was seeing Gemma. The real Gemma. A woman who was passionate about dance, who loved it with her whole soul and could find pieces of it in swirls and lines. The love transformed her, and seeing her soul, Jamon was transformed too. He suddenly wanted to get closer, to see this side of her again, to feel her next to him. He gazed at Gemma. The soft flesh of her neck was exposed, and Jamon’s mouth puckered with the need to press a kiss to her soft skin. He’d lie down and let this temptress walk all over him if he wasn’t careful. “Let’s make a bid on it.” Jamon let his arm fall and catch her hand as if the action were the most natural thing in the world. “Where do I go?”

Meet the Characters

Dear Readers,

It's true that one of our authors' main goals is to create characters that come to life. We talk about them as if they are real people and we know them by name. :) We'd like you to meet the main characters from the new release "Her Brilliant Cowboy Billionaire."

Meet Gemma Stonewall:
Gemma Stonewall, a former professional ballerina, now a public relations specialist, prefers all her pencils sharp. She’s had her heart broke before and the last thing she on her to do list is fall in love with a cowboy. Meet Jamon West:
Jamon West, a hunky cowboy with a brilliant mind, and a Texas sized heart. New to money and new to Seattle, Jamon is a little rough around the edges, but it’s nothing a beautiful assistant couldn’t smooth out.

To "meet" these characters, pick up a copy of "Her Brilliant Cowboy Billionaire" by clicking here.
Happy Reading!
