Book Reviews warned readers of Michele Summers' new release Sweet Southern Trouble to
"Get ready to laugh and swoon your way through this sassy and sexy
southern romance!" We couldn't agree more, so we asked Michele to share
some of her tips for creating such wonderful books.
Top Writing Tips for Hopeful Authors
- Write: can’t say it any plainer than that, but you need to
write if you ever hope to finish a book and have it published. And this
does not include Facebook posts or Tweets, but actually writing complete
scenes that eventually become complete chapters. Easier said than done, I
know, but you gotta suck it up, baby. There’s no way around it.
- Tell your story: the one only you can tell in your voice. There may be better
writers or more clever writers, but none of that matters because they
aren’t you. They don’t know your story. Only you can write the story in
your head and make it yours.
- Let it go: eventually you have to stop
writing and let it go. Don’t overthink it. You have to allow people to see
what you wrote. Have it critiqued or edited or proofed and learn from it
(or not) and make the next one even better.
- Have fun: For me, writing is about
expressing myself creatively and escaping from my every day world. Don’t
get me wrong…I’m very blessed, but creating something new that only I know
about is very heady stuff. I love writing because it has nothing to do
with mothering, working, cleaning or cooking. My stories crack me up and
there’s a whole lot of fun in that. Have fun and go for it!
An ambitious Southern belle
Marabelle Fairchild knows she’s a gal who can
get things done. Feeling unappreciated at the exclusive private school where
she’s a kindergarten aide and varsity tennis coach, Marabelle determines to
score with the next big fundraiser. What she doesn’t expect? A smokin' hot
football coach to throw her off her game...
A reclusive NFL bachelor...
NFL coach Nick Frasier is Raleigh’s most
eligible bachelor, but he wants to focus on his career…not his playboy
status. He doesn’t need a smart-mouthed, pint-sized kindergarten teacher
pestering him. So he cuts Marabelle a deal—in exchange for Nick sponsoring a
bachelor auction starring him and his gorgeous celebrity pals, Marabelle will
pose as his fiancée to ward off unwanted advances.
What could
possibly go wrong?
MICHELE SUMMERS writes about small-town life with a Southern
flair, and has her own interior design business in Raleigh, North Carolina, and
Miami, Florida. Both professions feed her creative appetite and provide a daily
dose of humor.
