What a lovely word!
All writers have a natural instinct for using and appreciating assonance. It means to create a resemblance of sound in a phrase by repeating the same or similar vowel sounds.
Sometimes I imagine that language was birthed through assonance—that exq [...]

The Happiness Cure
I’ve had an extraordinary winter—one of the most productive in my life.
This is what happened: Each winter I try to devote myself entirely to Writing for at least two months. It’s a time when I can either throw my heart into a new project that I can spend the rest of the year elaborating on, or it’s when I can close up a project that is “almo [...]

Fun and fast-paced romance thriller
I'm not a huge romance fan, but I like romance blended with intrigue. I saw (Heaven Falls) recommended on Twitter and gave it a try, and am very glad I did.
The novel starts slowly, and I wasn't sure about the main character, Tess Duncan, but as you are drawn further and further into the dysfunctional Garrison family, owners of Heaven Falls resorts, the more I liked Tess and Jason, her love interest.
The mysteries of the family unfold as the tension builds, and although the pivotal mysteries aren't that surprising, the way they entangle the characters certainly is.
Fun, fast paced, and romantic enough for the softies without being too mushy for the intrigue fans, Heaven Falls is well worth the read.
