#VIRTUALBOOKTOUR Wish Upon A Duke by J R Salisbury #booktour #giveaway Love & Devotion Book 1 #historical #romance

 



Wish Upon a Duke
Love & Devotion Book 1
by J R Salisbury
Genre: Historical Romance


The duke's bargain never included falling in love...

When Savannah Dawson married the second son of an English earl, she never dreamed she’d have to leave her beloved America, let alone enter the aristocracy at her son’s side. Yet when the earl dies and her husband disappears at sea, Savannah’s life is upended. Bringing her young son to England to meet her shrewish mother-in-law is only the beginning of her trials. The dowager countess has asked a duke to assist in the new earl’s education—a man whose power and position could define the course of Savannah’s life. Proud and stubborn, Savannah refuses to be intimidated. And yet neither can she resist the attraction that catches fire between them.

Reformed rakehell Gabriel Armstrong, Duke of Clevedon, has no room in his life for a woman. Especially an American commoner, the widow of his childhood friend. Beautiful and bold, Savannah nevertheless captivates his imagination. Unlike her English counterparts, she speaks her mind and demands to be heard. Something that does not endear her to the dowager countess, yet which Gabriel finds fascinating. Troubles follow her from America, however. Her husband’s business was in debt, his money invested in illicit trade, and his ship was not the first to be lost at sea.

Rumors abound that Savannah’s husband is still alive. Forces are at work to deny her son his title. And when an interloper arrives demanding repayment or revenge, the life of Savannah’s young son is in jeopardy. Savannah and Gabriel must work together to escape the shadows that could blot out the light of their future.

I've always been a creative individual. Writing is just a facet of that creativity...

My careers in public relations in and around the entertainment industry, photography, editing,  artist management, modeling and special event planning all elevated my passion for writing, not to mention gave me a treasure trove for story lines. 

I write women's fiction; contemporary romance (as Jamie Salisbury) and historical romance (as JR Salisbury) which is ever evolving. I am fortunate enough that writing (and marketing of said product(s)) is my full-time job, although I always have one or two other projects going at the same time.
I now live in a suburb of Atlanta. Some of my other interests include photography, equestrianism, reading, and of course, travel.

I sincerely hope my writing will entertain, enlighten, and inspire others to pick up the pen and pursue their own dreams. I love to be contacted by readers, writers, and history buffs.

#VIRTUALBOOKTOUR Ex-Ray by Cheryl Robinson #CONTEMPORARY #WOMEN #FICTION #EXRAY @wnlbooktours


Hello! This is one of my tour stops during my one month book tour for Ex-Ray by Cheryl Robinson. This virtual book tour is organized by Write Now Literary Book Tours. This tour runs January 26-February 26, 2018.  Follow the tour here.  Book your own tour here WNL.

About The Author


Cheryl Robinson has the Until Ray trilogy set in her beloved hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Cheryl currently resides in Central Florida. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne State University. This is her eleventh book.


















About The Book


ISBN-10: 098471104X

ISBN-13: 978-0984711048

ASIN: B0778P6N72

Genre: Contemporary Fiction

In this journey into second-chance love, author Cheryl Robinson invites us to ponder whether we would rekindle a romance with someone who had broken a promise to forsake all others.

Meet Ray and Sarita Saint. In 1987, they pledged to love, honor, and cherish each other until death. When Ray goes missing a year later, Sarita wonders whether he’s dead or alive. While she was dreaming of their happily ever after, Ray was exploring greener pastures, a new relationship. Sarita—a virgin until marriage—took her vows seriously and believed Ray did, too. Instead, he left their marriage and their life in Detroit to reinvent himself. Sarita always held out hope that he would return one day. And he does. It’s twenty-seven years later, and Ray is determined to find his one true love. What he discovers has him question everything he thought he knew about Sarita, as well as himself.

Welcome Cheryl to Nothing But Books Blog. 


Tell us about your writing process. Do you outline, or are you more of a seat-of-your-pants type of writer?

I use Scrivener to keep track of things, especially characters and timelines, but I don’t outline. I also use several journals for the times when I’m tired of sitting in front of a computer screen and would rather write a chapter freehand.

What is the highest goal that you desire to meet as an author?

I’d love to see one of my books come to life. Allow me to be more specific. I’d love to see this trilogy on the big screen because I want to meet Boone in person, I want to meet Ray, and Sarita, Miss King—everyone.

How do you spend your free time? 

I have a book coming out in June and another one coming out in January, so I spend my free time writing, and my favorite place to go and unwind is in my office to write. I have so many books that I want to read that I can’t get to right now, and now I’ve started on an audiobook kick just to get around to some of them.

What do you have in store next for readers?

The third book in the trilogy will be released in June, and then a standalone novel that features one of the characters from the trilogy will be released in January.

Describe your book in three words.  

Introspective adult drama.

About The Book

Jillian watched so many of her friends date, get engaged and marry before her. She wondered what was taking so long. Jillian had done all of the right things. She had gone to school, built a thriving company, owned a home, drove a luxury car and dedicated years of service to her church and community. But, where was her love? Come experience the lessons, longing and love of Jillian Forrester. Have faith, your love is on the way too.



Welcome Julia, tell us how did your life as a writer begin?


Writing came to me after going through a divorce in 1994.  I started journaling as therapy.  I didn’t realize what I was doing by journaling but I always felt better after I wrote.  I wasn’t even writing about my situation, hurt feelings or anything just whatever popped in my head.  I wrote it down.  


Julia, what makes you feel inspired to write?

Now, inspiration for writing will come from inside me or a question from a client or author.  If there is a question, problem that comes to me, I usually write about it.  On the other hand, God says, write about this and I write about it. 

Julia, how did you come with the idea for your current story?

I asked God about writing romance fiction and he said use your own life and embellish it and make it the ultimate love story for you.

Julia, tell us about your writing process. Do you outline, or are you more of a seat of your pants type of a writer?

I have done both.  I started out totally writing what came to my head.  No outline or guide, just writing.  My business has grown and my time to write is shortened, I must write more focused than ever so an outline is a must.  I saves time but it also doesn’t get me off course.  I could expand some topics on my outline but I don’t stray as much from the topic. 


Julia, what is your favorite scene in the book? Why? 

In Jillian, my favorite scene is where Jillian and Byron are at a football game and faced with a little criticism.  Please read that part, it is one of my favorites. 


Julia, what is your usual writing routine?

I write whenever I have free time, early in the morning, during lunch hour and late at night.  If I am in my writing mode, i.e. have a deadline to get something done, I use every free moment to write.  I make notes on napkins, scratch pads, send emails to myself and speak and record notes in my phone.  I just have to get what’s in my head out. 


Julia, what is the highest goal that you desire to meet as an author?

To be able to have a demand for me to speak about my books and write meet the same financial level as my other aspects of my life so I can write, speak and coach writing full-time. 


 Julia, what is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?

Three things:  Love it, Invest in it and Protect it with everything you’ve got. 


Julia, how do you spend your free time? Do you have a favorite place to go and unwind?

I don’t have much free time but when I do, I love to travel, date nights with my husband and sleep.  Lol. 



Thank you Julia for sharing more about you and your book.

#VIRTUALBOOKTOUR But My Soul is Black by Terrell Williams #NEWBOOKALERT #ROMANCE #FICTION @wnlbooktours



Hello. I’m Excited. This is one of my stops during the month tour for But My Soul Is Black by Terrell Williams. This virtual book tour is organized by Write Now Literary Book Tours. This tour runs September 4-29, 2017. Follow the tour here.  Book your own tour here WNL   

ISBN-10: 150069312X

ISBN-13: 978-1500693121

ASIN: B074TCQJDD

Genre: Fiction/Romance



Terrell Williams began life as the 2nd eldest son of 9 children (4 girls and 5 boys) and was reared in less than affluent circumstances. The second in his immediate family to graduate from college, he went on to marry a wonderful woman, and who eventually became the proud parents of 4 children (3 girls and 1 son who is also his namesake).

Mr. Williams enjoys reading and writing poetry, and he has written several plays that have been performed and were well received in Texas. The idea for his debut novel, But my Soul Is Black, lay dormant for many years until Mr. Williams finally finished the novel upon his retirement, fulfilling his dream of becoming a published author. His romantic tale tackles controversial topics such as interracial relationships, generational differences of conceptual thinking about life and love. This novel seeks to remind the readers of the interconnectedness we share as humans, as well as showing that truly, love transcends all!





But My Soul is Black, takes a candid look at interracial romance and the human experience. The book reveals the cultural misperceptions that harm us, and the love that heals us.












How did I come up with the idea for this story? I wanted to write something controversial, something that would provoke serious conversations, and something that was relevant.



What makes me inspired to write? When someone does something inspiring, whether it is a self-less act, a heroic act, if it’s a wrong that needs to be corrected, a problem that needs to be solved. These are inspirational things to write about.


Tell you about my writing process?  Do I outline or am I a seat of the pants writer? I would say I am an “outliner” type writer for consistency and continuity’s sake, but then I rely on inspiration.


What is my favorite scene in the book?  Why? I had several, but I guess the most intense for me, was the tremendous inner conflict Bobby experienced, the moment he had to come to the harsh realization that he had actually, fallen in love with his best friend’s lady.  He had to decide whether to take what could be called the moral high ground, or follow the beat of his heart.  I think the reader will empathize with the inner struggle he has to go through, before finally making his decision.


What is the best piece of advice I would give to anyone that wants to get into writing? I would say, write for yourself, not for fame or fortune.  Let your writing be a true expression of your gift and your feelings, so at the end, regardless of your success or lack thereof, you will be satisfied that you left your personal mark here on earth that represents you and the fruit of your efforts which no one can take from you.


What do I have in store next for my readers? Possibly a sequel if this book reaches a level of mass acceptance.  Also I have in mind a book dealing with social consciousness.

Describe my book in three words? Intriguing, inspiring, and engaging.

Stella Eromonsere-Ajanaku

About The Book


~ When the desire to be with her is so strong ~

Emem is on her way to attend a Christmas speed dating contest in her hometown. This season, she has her mind made up to only date a bachelor who grew up in Barrow-in-Furness. Her reasons are personal and there is no way she would date a man who is a non-local.

Runo has an invitation to a Christmas event that sounds more like a blind date. He is excited at the perfect chance to indulge in a quickie affair with a woman he will not have to see again after this year’s week-long contest.

When Runo is paired up with Emem, their attraction is instant and the urge to kiss her is so strong and undeniable. Then he finds out Emem wants more than a week long affair. And she discovers Runo is a non-local out to have fun. When the desire to be together is so strong, would they reveal their deep emotions or find reasons to opt out of the contest?

~ From the Author of His Ring: A Sweet & Steamy Romance


Teaser

In haste, Emem dropped the mug on her dressing table and fished out her mobile phone. Runo’s name scrolled across the screen and her fingers wobbled as she answered the call.

“Hello,” she whispered, locking her bedroom door.
“Why are you whispering? Are you not home yet?” Runo queried, his tone sharp.

“I’m home. Just don’t want my family listening to my conversation.”

He laughed in her ears and she giggled.

“Sounds like my family. I bet they sat you down to ask about me.”

Emem nodded. Then realised Runo could not see her, so she responded. “Had to reveal the basics to pacify their interest.”

“So did you tell them I massaged your shoulders?”

The reminder of how his strong fingers kneaded her flesh made her grit her teeth as a hot flush boiled her face.

“No I didn’t,” she murmured, pressing the mobile phone to her face as if to bring him closer.

Runo chuckled, the sound tingling her skin.

“Did you tell them you kissed me?” he rasped in her ears.

Emem stared at the ceiling, took in a deep breath and touched her lips with one finger the way Runo had in the restaurant. She could still taste the champagne on his lips and a fresh surge of shivers strolled around her backbone.
