 Do you believe in love at first sight? Do romances that happen really quickly in a story come across as unbelievable to you, or do you find yourself rooting for the characters in spite of the timeline?
Connecting Strangers, my romantic suspense releasing July 21st, has a whirlwind romance, and I see that it's a divided issue between reviewers. Some like it. Some don't. To me, when someone is hungry for love and they meet "the one", they know. Their hearts tells them not to waste time. Maybe that makes me a bit of a softie or even too much of a dreamer. Regardless, I still believe in fairy tales, and whirlwind romances are what dreams are made of. What about you? Do you think romances that happen fast are too unrealistic? How long did you know your spouse or significant other before you knew he/she was the one?

So my blog tour starts on Monday, and I will be all over the Internet for the next month. This is to celebrate the upcoming (July 21st) release of Connecting Strangers (Book 1 in the Discovering Emily series). Check out my Appearances page so you can follow along.
Did you see the prize list I posted earlier? In case you didn't, have a look! It's changed some since I originally posted it, but the prizes are still grand! Before this all gets underway, I want to give a HUGE thank you to my friend, Lisa Renee Jones. She's a New York Times Bestselling Author with so much on her plate, but she's helped me every step of the way with this book launch. This woman is phenomenal! And the speed at which she moves makes me dizzy. In case you aren't familiar with Lisa's work, you can click on her name to view her website. But you really want to be following her on Facebook and her YouTube channel because she hosts amazing giveaways and gives you all the inside scoop...especially on her Inside Out series which is in development for cable TV with the amazing Suzanne Todd producing (Alice in Wonderland/Johnny Depp). How cool is that? So this is my way of saying thank you to an amazing lady, a wonderful friend, a talented author, and an inspiring human being! My blog tour starts on Monday, June 23rd, and the following authors have graciously contributed prizes. I wanted to acknowledge them and thank them for their generosity because they rock! I'm including their website pages (so you can check out their books) and their Facebook Fan Pages so you can like them!
