WELCOME TO BEHIND THE SCENES

Excerpt from 

From Here To There

By 

Jae Henderson & Mario D.King

“PUSH!! BREATHE! We’re almost there!” said the doctor. My OBGYN, Dr. Sales, couldn’t get here in time, so there’s some man I have never met, all in my twat guiding me and my little one. He sounded like a drill sergeant as he forcefully instructed me on how to bring life into the world at a time when all I wanted to do was die.

I was in no shape to be delivering a baby, and the love of my life was in another part of the hospital fighting for his life. And now I’m here pushing and breathing for dear life without him. I didn’t mean to upset Marcus. I just wanted to see my man, my baby daddy, the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It didn’t help that as they rolled me out, I saw Chanel, his other baby momma, standing outside the door. I wanted to roll that wheelchair right over her foot and kick her in the shin. I knew the only person that could have told her was Jackson; that man is so conniving. He had the nerve to offer to be in the delivery room with me. No way!

I silently prayed while I pushed. Father God, please let Marcus be okay. Neither one of us has been perfect, but we are just starting to get it right. Have mercy on him. Have mercy on me.

“You’re doing just fine, Natalie . . . NOW, PUSH!!” the doctor instructed.

I bore down as hard as I could and gave a thrust to the lower half of my abdomen. I couldn’t really feel the lower half of my body thanks to the epidural, but sweat was continuously rolling off the upper half.

“Now, one more big one should do it! PUUUUUUUUUSH!” the doctor shouted.

I let out a sound that was a mixture of a grunt and a scream as I did as I was instructed. A few seconds later, he said, “Here—” then the doctor cut his sentence short.

I knew immediately that something was wrong, and I didn’t hear any crying. There should be crying . . . Shouldn’t there? I looked up at Mrs. Colbert. She hadn’t said much. I knew she was mad at me for upsetting Marcus, but at least she was there. Even in her anger, she hadn’t abandoned me in my time of need. She used her warm hands to give me reassuring touches the entire time, and now she gave me a forced smile as she wiped the sweat from my brow with a damp cloth. 

I opened my mouth to ask her what was wrong, but I suddenly felt tightness in my chest, as if someone had their fist wrapped around my heart. She looked in the direction of the doctor and stopped. Her stoic smile disappeared, and her face now held great concern.

“Code Blue. She’s going into cardiac arrest!” I heard the doctor say.

“Stay with me, Natalie,” said Mrs. Colbert. She said something else after that, but it was low and garbled. The kind, old woman was standing right next to me, but she sounded far away.

Out of nowhere came a blinding bright light. Then, in the glow appeared the glorious figure of a man. I couldn’t quite recognize him, but the silhouette appeared to be that of . . . Marcus? It can’t be.

Did I just die?

Is he dead?

Lord, help!

#SCRIPTINGEXPRESSIONS #VIRTUALBOOKTOUR Two Steps Past The Altar by Patricia A. Bridewell #NEWBOOKALERT @wnlbooktours

Write Now Literary is pleased to be coordinating a blog tour for Patricia A. Bridewell. This tour will run July 23-Aug 3, 2018.  Book your own tour here.

Title: Two Steps Past the Altar

Genre: Genre: Inspirational Romance/Fiction
  

ISBN: 978-1732130913

ASIN:B07DCC5XFT

          Meet Patricia 

Reading and daily journal entries were the catalyst to Patricia’s first novel, Reflections of a Quiet Storm, published by an independent publisher in 2009. An avid reader, her previous published work includes two books, multiple short stories, monthly health care columns for an online magazine, and several health care articles for a local newspaper. She also enjoys reading Women’s Fiction and Romance novels, which occupy many seats on her bookshelves.

Patricia is a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she holds Adjunct Nursing Faculty positions at two universities. She is a member of the National Black Nurses Association/Council of Black Nurses – L.A., Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, Black Nurses Rock, California Association of Nurse Practitioners, and International Black Writers & Artists.

Patricia’s church home is Greater Zion Church Family in Compton, CA. She considers music, reading, and prayer as the keys to relaxation and creativity, and she loves spending time with her family.

Patricia’s short story appears in the Brown Girls Books Anthology Single Mama Dating Drama, an AALBC two-time best-selling book. Two Steps Past the Altar is her third and latest novel. She is currently working on her fourth novel.

                                                About The Book

Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, Sasha Edmonds, is a motivated high-flyer with a stellar track record. Being the top sales representative and having a fiancé who loves her is more than she could ever imagine. Her life spins in another direction when she discovers that her mom requires a life-saving medication and her fiancé, Damien, may be cheating. Devastated, she breaks off their engagement. 

Amid healing, she becomes captivated by Wesley, a wealthy pharmaceutical businessman who may hold the cure for her mom, career, and wounded heart. Romance transforms into a love triangle, surfeit of lies, blackmail, and deception. A story of love, trust, restoration, and forgiveness.

Where did you get the inspiration to write Two Steps Past the Altar?

 Honestly, the idea for my novel came to mind while I was working on another one. My ideas are normally inspired from real life situations, mostly from what I’ve heard or seen in the world. Other ideas pop into my head, and I start jotting down notes. I write a few chapters and come back to them periodically until I am ready to work on the project.

What sets Two Steps Past the Altar apart from other books in the same genre?

 I think the book is an interesting story that will appeal to many readers. The novel is an edgy Inspirational Romance book that exposes real-life imperfections. Sasha Edmonds is the main character, and readers will get to know her strengths and weaknesses as she struggles to deal with her mother’s illness, career, love life, and the relationship with her father.

As an author, how do you get your work out to the public?

 Work, and more work. I promote on social media and I use multiple forms of  promotional resources. I also attend conferences and literary conferences where I can meet other authors and readers. I think it is important to connect and network. I try to do book signings when the opportunities are available, and I have a blog that has been useful in promoting my books, website, and where my books are sold. I also promote other guest authors on my blog site.

How much planning goes into writing a book? How long does it take to

complete your books?

 Planning for me starts with writing a synopsis of the novel. From there I develop character sketches, plus I find photographs of them online. I search for the perfect photos that match my characters’ personalities and appearances, then I add them to a file and save until I start writing. I must know names and information about the main characters at the beginning of the book. 

In the past, my full novels were completed within five to six months. Short stories within approximately two to three weeks. Several years ago, I participated in the NaNoWrimo writing contest that required writers to complete a book within 30 days. The contest takes place every year in November. I wrote the first draft of Two Steps Past the Altarin 30 days, and I was so excited after I finished. The positive side – I completed the book with a little over 50,000 words in thirty days, and this process helped me focus on strictly writing. The negative side – Afterward, I had an extraordinary amount of revisions and rewriting to do because I could not edit during the contest. But, this was a great experience and I have no regrets. However, I will stick to the 5-6 month timeframe.

What advice would you give aspiring writers that would help them finish a

project?

 Write every day, even if you do not meet your word quota. I stopped using

word quotas. I write whatever I write, whether it’s one thousand words, two thousand,

or five hundred. Research what you do not know, and be sure to hire a professional

editor to read your book. Developmental editors are very useful, and a copyeditor

after you complete your book is, too. I use editors that are referred to me by other

authors.

What’s next for Patricia A. Bridewell

 I am working on my next book, and my goal is to write books more frequently. I have a deep passion for helping other people and lifting spirits. I believe writers are so powerful. I thank God for the gift of penning genuine stories that readers can relate to.

Ten years ago, James Miller walked out of prison vowing to leave the past behind. That past included his sons and their mothers and though he told himself that he would return, he never did. Now, he has a new name, a new family, a new career and a best-selling memoir. Meanwhile, the sons he left behind navigated their way to manhood while dealing with the questionable choices of their mothers.

Prince is awkward and highly intelligent. His hard-working mother is thrilled beyond measure upon receiving the news that her son has been given the opportunity of a lifetime.

The sons do not know they are brothers but when find out, they are determined to make James pay the price for leaving them behind.

Excerpt from Chapter 6

“Hi, I just came over to introduce myself. My name is King” He said as he held out his tone and muscular arm in her direction to shake her hand. Still under his allure, she did manage to reach out her hand to shake his and stated “Nice to meet you, I’m Lauren” she stated. “Thank you again for the drink” she said politely while looking intensely at his eyes. “You are welcomed, Beautiful” He said with a deep voice that resounded in her soul and made her tingle inside although she tried all she could not to show it. He followed up with the sexiest smile she had ever seen. This is one tall glass of chocolate milk better yet Kahlua, she thought.

         About the Book

The Grim Reaper has visited Echo Charles so often he might as well have his mail forwarded to her address.
Echo never quite recovered from the loss of her parents to a tragic accident on her twenty-first birthday. Now fourteen years later, she mourns their death of her career, her social life, and if the reaper has his way, the death of her best friend’s lover. The only ray of light in all this darkness is Dr. Brandon Hall, who has had run-ins with the reaper himself—especially when his ex-wife put a choke hold on his bank account along with his belief in love.

Dr. Daniel Ellington’s touch provided the electricity that pumped Telia Arthur’s heart, and a life without his smile was unthinkable. However, an unfortunate accident spared the lives of their children and left his hanging in the balance. Now Telia must deal with a challenge only a few people know about, in addition to Dan’s mother who has descended on Telia intent on securing control of Daniel’s wealth as well as his heirs, all while her son is fighting for his life. Telia and Echo began a friendship in elementary school that has blossomed into sisterhood. But their emotions are being dragged over concrete. Will love conquer all or become another victim of the reaper?
