EXCERPT

"Half an hour later, they rode back to the barn.  “You don’t want to overdo it for your first time.”  Garrett dismounted easily and tethered the horses to the post, then came to help her down.  “Take your right foot out of the stirrup, swing your leg over, then place your right foot on the ground.”

She tried to obey his instructions, kicking her right foot out of the stirrup before swinging it backward.  Clenching the horn with a death-grip, she hovered in the air, her left foot still in the stirrup and her right hand grasping the back of the saddle.  She didn’t think she could do it.  Wobbling slightly, she sighed in relief when Garrett’s strong arms wrapped around her waist.

“I’ve got you,” he murmured, his warm breath brushing her neck.  A shiver raced down her spine.  He helped her off Prince, untangling her left foot from the stirrup.  She turned to him, a little dizzy. 

“Thank you.”  She looked into his dark brown eyes, wanting to melt into their depths.  Despite her best intentions, she was definitely attracted to this man.  But what did he feel about her?

“You’re welcome.”  He gently smoothed her hair back from her face.  “You might want to take a bath tonight, since you’re not used to horse riding.”

She gave the briefest of nods. Her eyes remained locked on his.  She didn’t want to do anything to break the sensual spell.

Garrett’s hand touched the small of her back, his thumb caressing her spine, urging her to take a couple of steps closer to him.  She obeyed willingly, her heart thudding with anticipation.

He gazed down at her, threading his fingers through her hair.  She held her breath as his lips descended, until they were only a heartbeat away from hers.  “Maddie,” he murmured.

She waited for the touch of his lips …"

Apologies for not posting for a while, but I've been busy, first with writing Curves and the Rodeo Star, then working on my new book, a 20,000 word novella!

But meanwhile, I found time to write a short post for my friend Adrienne deWolfe's blog, What I Discovered In My first 13 Months as an Indie Author

BLOG HOP!

Thank you, Diana Persaud for including me in this blog hop.

1.What're you working on now?

 Curves and the Rodeo Star, the fourth book in my Coldwater Springs series. It's a BBW Romance.  Release day is December 11, 2013!  You can find out about the other books in the series here:

http://www.amazon.com/author/jennroseton 

 2. How's it different from other work in the genre?

I love writing BBW romances.  As a curvy girl myself, I know firsthand what dating is like for my heroines.

3.   Why do you write?

 Because I have to, LOL!  I've been writing since I was little. I've taken time off throughout the years, but once I bought my Kindle last year and read hundreds of short romances, I thought, I'm going to share my stories with the world :-)

4.  How does your process work?

 With discipline.  At the moment I can only write in my spare time, so the first thing I do when I turn on the computer every day is to write my 1,000 words.  I've found if I put off my writing until I've checked my emails, etc, I either run out of time or I don't feel like buckling down and writing.  

Sometimes a story idea will pop into my head when I'm doing housework, so I go and write it down, otherwise it can just disappear into the ether! And from that idea, I plot out a story and start writing.
