Southern gal living in California. Have been writing since the age of ten and am addicted to the written word. Have stacks of books-to-be-read in almost every room. I teach writing on a volunteer basis and in a paid position. I once worked with foreign customers for an aerospace company; interesting job that gave me great insight into other cultures. Family scattered all over the US so have excuses to travel.

ASK ME NO QUESTIONS GOES ON

Time, or lack of it for things we feel a passion for, is sometimes such an enemy. I have managed to get a great deal of writing done these past few nights after busy days but have been neglecting this blog. I seem to often be a one-track gal.

Ask Me No Questions is a romantic suspense about a young woman whose estranged husband is a member of a crime family and, when he decides to turn informant, is killed on the courthouse steps. She realizes that she is in danger and when her brother-in-law calls her immediately after the shooting to tell her he is on the way to pick her up to be with the family, she runs. With changed name, fake papers and a new life, Callie meets Rafael under a strange, midnight rendzvous--in her own home.

This encounter begins a game of "who are you really" between two people who are very attracted to each other but afraid of what they will find out if they get too involved. Intimate scenes, suspenseful scenes, tension-between-them scenes.

There is Miguel, her landlord, Sam Ryan, a stranger who shows up unexpedtedly, and the wonderful Mexican coastal village to add drama to the story. There will be a bang-up ending involving FBI, DEA, Federales--and two people who must decide whether it is the end, or a new beginning.

This is a book I started several years ago and put it aside when it slowed to a snail's crawl. My Yahoo writing group called a NaNO for February--not to complete an entire book but to write each day--and I decided I'd give this one a shot again. So far I have edited the ten chapters, and have outlined the last seven--and have written one of them and part of another. I may be able to complete the first draft this month and that will be an accomplishment.

You can set a NaNo for yourself; set a goal of so many words per period, or just to write each day. The REAL NaNO is the month of November. Good writing!
