Our guest author
today is Kathryn Jane, who is going to share some tidbits about the writing of
her book that no one knows--until today.
Award winning
author Kathryn Jane loves to write about kickass women who laugh as hard as
they cry, love good sweaty sex, don’t understand the appeal of perfection and
can get themselves out of trouble, thank you very much. Then of course there’s
the sexy, often baffled men who dare to love them.
Addicted to the
ocean and the color turquoise, Kathryn lives on the west coast of Canada with
two obnoxious cats, a faithful mutt, and the man of her dreams.
Daring To Love
5 Secrets About
Daring To Love
1. The story begins
and ends in one of my favorite places on the planet, Lincoln City, Oregon, on
the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
2. Most of my books
involve a bit of telepathic communication or some such psychic phenomenon as
I’m intrigued by the possibilities, and I love the intimacy it creates.
3. Although I left
the appearance of Fred the dog a bit vague so my readers could experience Fred
as they’d like him to be, in my head, he looks like my friend Barb’s old pooch,
Scarlett. I even dedicated the book to her.
4. As I wrote about
the magnificent yacht I called, The Perennial, I imagined a 165 foot long motor
yacht I’d seen in Victoria Harbor years ago. I remember being flabbergasted
that day as I’d watched the pilot swing her around and park her just as easily
as he might a compact car on dry land. I must add the research I did on yachts,
for those few scenes, kept me entertained for days.
5 Authors whose works
I adore, and therefore influence my writing, are Nora Roberts/JD Robb, Cherry
Adair, Christine Feehan, Janet Evanovich, and Brene Brown.
Blurb from Daring
To Love
A woman who reads
hearts…
“Help me…” As an
empath working for an organization dedicated to locating missing children, Liz
MacKenzie is accustomed to using her unique abilities to sense the emotions of
others. She’s not accustomed to hearing them call for her. That’s the
specialized skill of a telepath.
A man who reads
minds…
Galen Keifer’s
special method of interrogation involves telepathic seduction, a technique that
drove away the love of his life two years ago. In spite of their rocky past,
Liz has reached out to him again. He’s the one man who may be able to discover
the truth about the mysterious voice calling to her.
A voice from the
darkness…
Liz can’t ignore
the child’s voice, one that may be connected to a dark secret in her past.
Barely recovered from her last rescue mission, she doesn’t trust her own
senses, or a man who uses seduction in such a devastating way. But with the
possibility of a child’s life in danger, Liz and Galen can’t afford to let it
get personal again. Finding the child comes first, even though their hearts and
minds are daring them to love…

Researching yachts, the life of a writer, gotta love it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jacquie!
DeleteAnd oh yes, research was great fun! When I put the yacht's name "Sweet Pea" into the google search bar, a whole new world opened up for me. First of all, Sweet Pea was amazing to read about, and then, well, I started looking at all kinds of amazing floating mansions.
Who knew one yacht in the Victoria harbor would open up such an amazing world to me!
thanks for having me here today Beverley!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to get some chores done, but I'll be back to visit in a few hours.
Love the picture and I too love the ocean and start to have withdrawals when I done get to see the ocean at least once a year - I live in Utah so I do drive out to the Great Salt Lake - it helps sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

DeleteThanks, Judy. This photo was taken on vacation when I lived 4 hours away from the ocean for nearly 3 years. It was so hard! I love being just a ten minute drive away now, and walk on the beach at least 3 days a week to keep my soul centered :)
DeleteInteresting facts!
ReplyDeletethanks D'Ann, and thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteSounds like a wonderful read. Thanks for sharing! I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! The cover is brand new, from Kim Killion, as a matter of fact, it won't be up on Amazon until next week, although the book is there with the old cover :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me Beverley, :)
