In Case You Hadn’t Heard, Book Five Is Here

Posted in The Sharing Space Series by

You would think this would get easier. You would be wrong.

It’s 1:28am PST and I’ve been up since yesterday, 7:45am. Partly because I’m sick – I get sick right before Christmas, always – but mainly because Winter Wishes (Sharing Space #5) is now available and I have nervous tummy.

It doesn’t matter how many 5 and 4-star reviews the first four books have, I still think this is all a fluke and that everyone who liked the previous books will suddenly think they’re all shit. And demand their money back. As if awakened from a spell, they’ll flick through their Kindles and wonder how the fuck those stupid books got there.

This is very much like sending your kids off to school, out into the world, and hoping that people like them. That people get them. And that if they don’t, they’ll at least still be kind to them because they’re your babies.

So, book five is here. I really hope you like my baby.

The Book Review That Makes Me Want to Write Forever

Posted in Stuff & Things, The Sharing Space Series by

Even though I am well aware that everything isn’t for everyone, it still stings a bit to get a negative review for something you’ve written. And not just written, but created and nurtured. Over time, I’ve learned to react to them appropriately: reflect on what points were made that could make my writing better, remember that everyone won’t like what I write and that’s okay, and then keep it moving. It helps when the majority of your reviews are positive. You feel like you’re connecting with the right audience. So, now I let the 1 or 2-star reviews get me down for about fifteen minutes, and then I brush it off and carry on.

Today, I was in Goodreads updating my shelves (Add me! I like connecting with readers there.) when I noticed that Roommate Wanted (Sharing Space #1) had new text reviews. The most recent one was left about two weeks ago and it made me laugh so hard, I had to share. It’s in Spanish, so I used Google Translate to post it here. The words, and pictures, are all from user Sitahiri, my new favorite reader:

 

I loved it!

Nina, thanks for introducing me to my new book boyfriend: Patrick Murphy. 🙂

 

Patrick Murphy Sharing Space

 

A light reading , a refreshing change …

A simple and uncomplicated plot, but do not misunderstand me, it is exactly this simplicity and the way it flows naturally what makes a great story.

A story with funny scenes and characters with common problems that we all can have.

Chloe talks to her friend and herself, her reaction when she meets Patrick, her conversations with him, it had me laughing most of the time.

In this first part we mostly get to know some of the characters and their families.

Chloe is a fun girl who fights for what she wants, he does not care much preconceived standards of others with respect to race and who is not afraid to speak her mind (well, as long as it is not her mother. With her she uses more finesse and avoids conflicts.)

Then there is Patrick, aspiring actor, but with his feet on the ground. Since we know that is not so easy to get a chance in that environment and has the financial backing of full-time work in what is given his big break. Focused, fun, polite and with a smile dimpled votios 1000 included in the package.

In short, say that the story that unfolds in this first part of the series is like a good meal, no seasoning surpasses others, but that all comes together to form a delicious taste that leaves you with a good taste in mouth satisfied and wanting more.

And…

I highly recommend! So come on, give in to the temptation to give it a try to this amusing story.

Sweet, right? And how hot is their vision of Patrick? I approve!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must get back to writing.

Taking Chances, Sharing Space #4 is Available Now

Posted in The Sharing Space Series by

I’ve been so busy I am just now finding the time to tell you that Taking Chances (Sharing Space #4) is available for download at Amazon.com. It’s been available since Saturday night, but between work, writing, running Project Fandom, and recording Podcast Fandom, I haven’t had a chance to promote it fully.

As you can tell, I’ve been publishing the series ahead of schedule. This is due, in part, to the quick work by my illustrator, Steven Novak, and my editor at Clean Leaf Editing. Mainly, I’ve been anxious to get each book into your hands because of your wonderful support and enthusiastic feedback.

If you haven’t already, Amazon and Goodreads reviews go a long way in helping me find new readers so if you’ve been enjoying the series so far and could leave a quick review, that would be so appreciated.

You can pick up your copy of Taking Chances here.

That all changes when Chloe is faced with a family emergency. Why does Chloe’s best friend treat the new relationship like a betrayal?

Patrick comes under scrutiny when Chloe’s mother visits for Thanksgiving. Will he live up to the standards Mrs. Brooks has for her daughter? And how will the Murphy clan react when they learn Patrick’s new love is black?

Slow Burn Is Available Early!

Posted in The Sharing Space Series by

Because my editor is a machine – a fabulous machine with a gorgeous smile and beautiful hair – Slow Burn, book three in the Sharing Space series, is available now! That’s right. You can get your hands on the next installment in the Chloe and Patrick love story a full two weeks early!

Book four is scheduled for a pre-Thanksgiving release and will most likely be early as well, but that’s not set in stone.

Here’s what you can expect in Slow Burn, part three of this six-part romance novel:

Finally admitting what they share is more than just friendship, Chloe and Patrick begin to explore a romantic relationship.

As Patrick watches his childhood friendships crumble, Chloe’s arms prove to be his one place for comfort. Chloe struggles with her reasons for taking the romance slow. Does she have doubts about Patrick or is she still affected by her ex’s betrayal?

One thing is for sure: Taking it slow may give their new love the best chance at lasting, but ignoring their passion is easier said than done.

Book four in the Sharing Space series will be available just in time for Thanksgiving.

Pick up Slow Burn for your Kindle device or app here!
