Is It Possible to Fall In Love With Death?

No, I don't mean in a literal sense. That's pretty morbid. I'm referring to the story I'm writing, in which a young woman falls in love with Death.

Death is a handsome man who's been ushering the living to the other side for eternity and reuniting lost loves, but has never found love himself. Not until he's met Penny, that is, and she sees him as more than just a gateway into the other world. She sees him as a real person, one full of loneliness and misunderstanding, much like herself.

I'm excited to see how people react to this kind of love story. I don't think it's ever been done quite like this before. :)

The Welcome Wagon

Hi guys! I'm excited to be here, even though nobody is probably reading this. It's my first official blog post and while I learn the ropes I'm taking this opportunity to document my writing process.

It seems like bookstore shelves are being overburdened by crappy, clichéd romance novels. I'm looking at you, Fifty Shades of Grey. And Twilight. Not all women want to be so dependent on a man they no longer function as a human being. So I'm setting out to finally write the next great American romance novel. One with magic, and romance, and desire, but without sacrificing the quality of the writing and without creating fakey one dimensional characters. No one in my book will sparkle or be worth a trillion dollars. They will, however, be gripping, fun to read, and they'll have the kind of chemistry that knocks your socks off.

Stay tuned. I'll keep updating this when I can.
