I know, I know. I’ve given two false starts but today I finally have the lovely Jill James at the ranch. While she is a sister Wild Rose Press author, she’s so much more. Let’s give her a huge ranch Yee-Haw!

Tell us a little about your venture into self-publishing, won’t you, Jill? I’m gonna sit over here and sip my mocha and nibble on these eclairs. Everybody dig in, get comfy and enjoy what Jill has for us.

Divorce, Interrupted is my first venture into what is becoming known as Indie Publishing. I’m a ‘dip the toes first’ kind of person and it took lots of reading, exploring, studying, and a self-formatting class to make me believe I could do it too. Divorce, Interrupted is a little off the romance path with a couple divorced over her infidelity trying to find their way back to each other. I added a flood, danger, and hot sex to give Todd and Lisa their new happily-ever-after.

What do you have to share with us?

Divorce, Interrupted – blurb

Newly-divorced Todd and Lisa Miller are stranded at their mountain cabin. There to divide a lifetime of memories, they soon are in danger from more than the anger between them. A vicious storm forces them to rely on each other to survive.

Can they trust the one person they lost belief in? Or are their hearts in danger from more than floods and frigid weather?

EXCERPT:

The wind crashed against the bay window in the front of the cabin. Lisa Miller jumped up and knocked over her chair. Her shaking hand flew to her chest. Her heartbeat pounded. “That one sounded like it went through the window.”

She peered around the doorway to the living room. She sighed in relief. The glass was still in one piece, although a large pine bough sat on the front porch. The wet needles stood out in bas-relief against the graying sky.

This had been a bad idea, she berated herself. She could’ve waited for the storm of the century to pass before she came up to the lake. Even with her husband, Todd, coming next week, she could’ve waited. A sob caught in her throat like a burr. Todd, her newly, the ink hardly dry on the divorce decree, ex-husband.

She righted the chair and fell into it. How had it come to this? She’d been in love with Todd for as long as she could remember. He’d been her first boyfriend, her first lover, and she’d been sure, her last.

Throwing her head back, Lisa stared at the ceiling. Finding no comfort in the familiar cedar logs, she brought her head down and gazed into space. Her sight unfocused, the kitchen viewed through a haze of tears she refused to shed.

Twenty years. Gone in an instant. Her abrupt decision to take her boss up on his umpteenth attempt at flirting. A nano-second to throw it all away. For what turned out to be mediocre sex at best. Todd had ruined her for any other man. He loved her with his heart and soul, and she’d trampled it for half the allotted time in a tawdry motel with hourly rates and smelly, overused sheets.
