USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart

"Jennifer L. Hart gives readers a contemporary love story constructed by two achingly real main characters. I personally love Drue's snide comments as I have a fondness for men who are sarcastically witty and I love the fact that Dakota can definitely hold her own and even dish back some superb one-liners. Watching Drue discover aspects of his own personality, while helping Dakota and her family, was very rewarding and enjoyable for me. He reminds us that you need to look beyond appearances and get to the heart of someone before you can truly understand or judge them. The setting adds to the reader's understanding of the characters and the subtlety of it is well done. I usually enjoy my romances a little more on the fairy tale side of things but I was definitely entertained by this realistic love story, instead of glossing over the fact that we all come with baggage, it focuses on the fact that it can be overcome, that we all can have love and happiness.

Some stellar news on the stellarverse! Seems Brennigan and Ellie have stormed the gate over at the RWA's FF&P contest and firmly entrenched themselves in the finals! From here the first twenty pages of the manuscript goes to an editor at Pocket Books, who will then decide the winner for the futuristic category. Frankly, I'm hoping for more, as in a request by said editor to see the full manuscript. I love this multiversal world, love the characters and next to Maggie and Neil, don't think I've ever created a better set-up for a series. In other news, I'm still planning to Nano, even if my alter ego, Lusha Lovelace, is whining that we can do another short in the next week. I learned my lesson last year, and this time I'm setting up a rough outline and world building before tackling the project. And yes, this is going to b a full length Lusha novel because if anyone can get into thirty days and nights of literary abandon, she sure can! Now if only I could come

I have so many ideas they are leaking out my ears. But ideas do not make for interesting reading. Here are my choices for my National Novel Writing Month (Nov,) Help me pick! 1)Drue and Dakota's WIP --Currently untitled This started off as a dream which I could turn into a sexy 50 K book. Basically, the future earth where sex for sale is the hot new homeopathic treatment. The evil Illustra corporation has enslaved alien empaths, draining their natural gifts for profit. Pro: This one has Lucia Lovelace (My new erotic persona) all over it. When in doubt, someone get's naked. Con: It's barely more than a wisp of an idea. I don't have fully fleshed out characters or setinng so I need to do plenty of research and planning ahead of time. 2) For A Reason Another contemporary, started the same time as Redeeming Characters. It's rich boy, blue collar girl, banter, bicker kiss and make up stuff. Originally I thought to set it in Upstate New York, but I've been toying wit
