Congrats, Bella!

BLURB

 
When it comes to women, Hunter Keaton has rules.
 
Those rules ensure his life stays uncomplicated and controlled. Control is what he craves, what he needs to keep his inner demons quiet.
 
Private investigator by day, his life is nothing but a pit of regret, devoid of any and every emotion.
 
Hired to find an elusive runaway—a wild, hot-headed woman with sinfully enticing curves—Hunter’s self-control is pushed to the limit. Scarlet Woods challenges him in ways that have him wanting to break his own damn rules.
 
But she has secrets—secrets he’s determined to uncover. He just didn’t count on getting his own past dragged into what turns out to already be a deadly game of lies.
 
This is not a love story. This is not a tale of how love conquers all.
 
This is a story of how two people equally shattered by their pasts realize that two broken souls can’t make a whole.

Conference Hangover #AuthorLife #MFRWAuthor #Booklover

This past weekend I attended the New England Chapter of Romance Writer's of America's conference in Burlington, Massachusetts and now I'm having a writer's conference hangover.

Writing can be a lonely, scaring career, so it's awesome to connect to those in the same boat. (Granted, I work full-time as a high school English teacher and have three kids so life isn't exactly "lonely" at home.) It was wonderful to listen to authors I admire and those who are new to me speak about our ever changing industry, marketing ideas and lessons on the craft of writing. 

Picture
Then there was the socializing. I hung out with my Maine Romance peeps, reconnected with those from afar who I don't often see, and made new friends. I may be biased, but authors are incredibly friendly and pretty cool people. We bond over food and wine, and of course...book boyfriends! 

If you're an author and have never been to a writing conference, I highly recommend it! If you're a reader and want to hang out with authors (we're so much fun!!) check out the Fall in Love with New England conference for readers this fall. ​

Picture
And now it's back to the grind. Day job. Doctor's appointments. Laundry. Grocery shopping. Practices. I suppose that's what life is about: balance. But what I really want to do is dive into my current manuscript and apply all the wonderful ideas I got from the conference.

Next week is spring break, which means finding balance between entertaining my kiddos, writing and reading. 

Happy spring, friends!

First Semester
Sarah Fischer
(Elton Hall Chronicles #1)
Published by: Limitless Publishing
Publication date: April 4th 2017
Genres: New Adult, Romance

Violet Carrington is a freshman at Elton Hall University, but she’s about to get more than just her degree…

Throwing herself into the insanity of college life, Violet makes new friends and even catches the eye of a handsome guy. Everything is as it should be, until one night out she crosses paths with a mysterious, sinfully attractive man. Not only does he manage to ignite a burning desire deep inside her, he also happens to be her new, off-limits college professor.

Professor David Berneli is only visiting Elton Hall, but a lot can happen in a year…

Everyone knows any personal relationship between professor and student is strictly prohibited. But somewhere in between lectures and after school events, Violet manages to dazzle him. She not only challenges David at every turn, but also tempts his every desire. No matter how hard they try to ignore the crackle of sexual tension between them, a few furtive glances quickly turn into clandestine meetings in his office.

By giving in to temptation, Violet and David fall deeper down the rabbit hole…

As the semester ticks on, Violet begins to question not only the whirlwind affair that threatens to consume them both, but David’s desires as well. If he’s not willing to risk everything for her, she’ll have no choice but to leave the comfort of his arms without looking back.

Before any decision can be made, a looming threat comes out of the shadows, putting her and the passionate relationship she has with her professor in danger.

Now Violet must fight for her own life, and for the one she wants to spend it with…

Guest Post by author, Sarah Fischer

ELTON HALL UNIVERSITY

Since I didn’t get my Hogwarts letter (I’m still waiting), I created a college for my upcoming novel, Elton Hall Chronicles: First Semester.

Elton Hall University is situated in a small town in Pennsylvania, next to a popular suburb. But what makes Elton Hall unique, is that the school is run out of an old castle. Most of the classes are held in the thick stone walls, some in the towers, and some of the bigger lectures are held in the former throne room.

The school has a special horticulture program that helps to maintain the grounds and the flower beds that surround the castle in the spring and summer time. There are giant fields between the castle, the dorms, the apartments, and the cafeteria. Paths, flower pots, gazebos, and gardens are scattered around the grounds. It is the perfect place to grab a blanket and study in the grass during the spring, build a snowman during the winter, or take a romantic walk among the changing leaves.

The school holds about 10,000 students and used to mostly be a suitcase school. Students would party on Thursday and leave for home Friday after class. To keep this from happening, EET was established. EET is the Elton Entertainment Team. In the Fall, they organize the Welcome events and bring a famous comedian to perform. In the Spring, they set up a huge concert. Throughout the year, they host smaller events to encourage club participation and to keep the students out of too much trouble.

As with a lot of old schools, the motto is in Latin. “Cras Sit Vivere” which means “To Learn Is To Live”. The school’s crest has two dragons, a key, a bell, and a rock. The key is a symbol of knowledge, companionship, and dominion. The rook represents strategic thinking and the bell represents someone who isn’t afraid to be heard when times are hard. The dragons protect all of these things to give you the ultimate environment to learn, succeed, and grow. The university’s colors are blue and gold. Blue is considered a color that helps improve anxiety and calmness while gold represents wisdom and wealth. All together, they make up the Elton Hall University crest.

The school has its own police department. The men and women who are patrolling the grounds are official police with real responsibilities and power. They are the people who ensure that the students are safe from any outside threats. But, what happens when the threat is, not only on campus, but one of the men you’re supposed to trust?

For more details about the characters attending and working at Elton Hall University, check out the About Sarah page. There is also a book blurb and an excerpt of one of the steamy scenes to tease you. Elton Hall Chronicles: First Semester will be released in the Spring of 2017. Not long to wait!
