Marketing for Romance Writers' Book Hooks #MFRWhooks

It's Wednesday -- time for the Marketing for Romance Writers Book Hooks mini hop! Participants post 6-8 sentences from their novel. Today I'm offering a bit from Dreamscape.

Written in homage to Agatha Christie, this tale is a haunting, a murder, a thriller, a mystery, a time-travel of sorts, and a love story that transcends time. Above all, Dreamscape is a reader's Easter egg hunt. Not everything is as it appears. Peppered throughout are little clues suggesting a story running behind the scenes. 


Setting the Stage:
Lanie now knows about her ghost. Dr. Jason Bowen is the man she's been dreaming about for years. Still, he takes a little getting used to.

My Seven: 
“I sense I make you nervous. I’d never hurt you, you know. Please believe that.” 

“I believe you Jason, I -- I’m not dressed.”

“And I am a mere shadow of a man. Please don’t be shy in front of me, Lanie, I’m a ghost. Some would say I’m not even here,” he teased.

"Dreamscape is nothing like you will ever experience, and nothing you can possible guess at. You will have to read the story all the way through to get the full story. I love Rose's creativity in Dreamscape. The surprises, the turns in the story, and the ending are all well crafted, perfectly placed, and always appropriate. Dreamscape is a personal favorite of mine, and a novel that I will reread over and over again!"

Weekend Writing Warriors #8sunday (RO)(MTS)(PA)

It's Sunday and time for the Weekend Writing Warriors. Participants post 8 sentences from a writing project, either published or unpublished. Today I'm offering a small sampling from Dreamscape ~ a reader-interactive Victorian/contemporary romance. Scroll down for more.

First these 8, then details follow:
 
Killed by a blow to the back of the head. Which monster had done that? For some reason he could easily place the poker in Cathy’s hand. His murdering wife never liked Addy and often hinted at replacing her in the four short months they were married. His stomach clenched, they’d buried his dear Addy alive. Feeling absolutely wretched, he needed to feel Lanie’s arms around him. Despite his vow to stay clear of her in the waking world, Jason lay down and let her warmth seep into him. He whispered to her subconscious, “Dream of me sweetheart, I’m free to love you in that world.” 

What just happened: Up to this point in the story, Lanie and her friend Lexie have discovered a body buried in the old house's dirt-floor cellar. While police on the scene speculate who the victim was, Jason the ghost knows. Later that night when Lanie sleeps, he rides her dreams. He discovered her dreams transport his spirit energy to the past where he's still flesh and blood.

"The ending surprised the heck out of me. I didn’t expect it to turn out that way, but was glad to know things worked out as they did.  Dreamscape is a paranormal romantic suspense all wrapped up in one amazing book. Rose Anderson is a new author to me, and with such an impression left on me with this book, I am yearning for more paranormal romances from this talented author. Anderson’s characters stuck in my head when I had to tear myself away from the book, and every time I had a distraction, the book lured me back to it. I’ve been looking for a great story featuring a ghost for a while, and this one fed my addiction very well. I recommend this book highly to any reader that wants a great story, characters that are well created and easily to relate to, a spell binding plot that grabs your attention from the spot and doesn’t want to let go until the end. My advice? Don’t miss Dreamscape. "

- A Reader

What this book really is: Written in homage to Agatha Christie, Dreamscape is a haunting, a murder, a mystery, a time travel of sorts, and a scorching love story that transcends time. It's also a reader's Easter egg hunt. Peppered throughout are hints suggesting a story behind the scenes. Finding them isn't necessary to the telling of the tale, just a twist in my writing.

Horny Hump Day!

It's Wednesday and time for the Horny Hump Day.
The deal is to post just 3 sentences to capture the imagination. 
Today I'm offering another 3 from Dreamscape -- A haunting, a murder, a mystery, a reader's puzzle, and a love story that transcends time.

Setting the scene:
Lanie has no idea a ghost snuggles next to her while she sleeps and rides her dreams to 120 years before while he still lived.

My 3:
With her in his arms he almost felt like a flesh-and-blood man again. Breathing the mingled scent of perfume, soap, and woman, he whispered at her ear as his essence plied her synapse, “Dream, sweetheart, dream of me again.” And she did, right where the last had left off.

Weekend Writing Warriors!

 

I'm participating in the Weekend Writing Warriors mini hop again. The deal is to post 8 sentences from a writing project, published or unpublished. This week I'm offering a bit from my backlist. I give you Dreamscape.

First my 8, then details follow:
 
Killed by a blow to the back of the head. Which monster had done that? For some reason he could easily place the poker in Cathy’s hand. His murdering wife never liked Addy and often hinted at replacing her in the four short months they were married. His stomach clenched, they’d buried his dear Addy alive. Feeling absolutely wretched, he needed to feel Lanie’s arms around him. Despite his vow to stay clear of her in the waking world, Jason lay down and let her warmth seep into him. He whispered to her subconscious, “Dream of me sweetheart, I’m free to love you in that world.”

 

Setting the stage: At this point in the story, Lanie and her friend Lexie are cleaning out the old house's dirt-floor cellar. After removing a perplexing barricade of assorted junk, they discover a body. It would appear a murder had taken place at least 100 years before. While police on the scene speculate who the body belonged to, Jason the ghost knows.

What this book really is:Written in homage to Agatha Christie, Dreamscape is a haunting, a murder, a mystery, a time travel of sorts, and a love story that transcends time. Above all, this sensual tale is a reader's Easter egg hunt in the truest sense. Peppered throughout are hints suggesting a story behind the scenes. Will you find them all before it ends?

Here's the story

"At first, the story appears straightforward enough...Ghost falls in love with new owner of his home...kind of like the Ghost and Mrs. Muir...but soon, all those usual clichés are thrown out the window. And what you're expecting isn't what you get, and vice versa." "So thank you, Rose Anderson, for giving new life to old ideas!" "Dreamscape is catchy, well-written, and thoroughly enjoyable."

- Author Toni Sweeney

Horny Hump Day

I'm participating in the Horny Hump Day mini hop today. http://www.hornyhumpday.com/ 

The idea is to post just 3 sentences to capture the imagination. Today, I'm offering 3 from my ghost story - Dreamscape   

Written in homage to Agatha Christie, Dreamscape is a haunting, a murder, a mystery, and a love story that transcends time. Above all, this sensual tale is a reader's Easter egg hunt in the truest sense. Peppered throughout are hints suggesting a story behind the scenes. Will you find them all before it ends?

Setting the Stage: Jason sits on Lanie's bed contemplating the lovely woman who's just moved into his home. He knows as a ghost his touch has no substance but he's seized by a sudden desire to touch her  He surprises himself in more ways that one.

With his hand upon her, he stared at her a long while, deliberating. Being able to touch her like this was akin to being alive again, but he didn’t dismiss the fact the act also made him a cad. Replacing that uncomfortable thought with another, he wondered if his touch might affect her as it was most certainly affecting him. 

 

"I wondered as I read this how the lovers were ever going to solve that problem, but was totally surprised at how Anderson arrived at the HEA ending I was hoping for, as I read far into the night. Great read with a surprising twist ending." ~Manic Readers
