USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart

Who Needs A Hero? took third place in the Hot Prospects Contest , contemporary single title category! Yeah for all you Maggie and Neil fans out there, since this takes place before the Laundry Hag series and is the story of how they met and fell in love. It is one of my all time favorites. Honestly, who wouldn't love Neil? He's NEIL! A Heroine in Distress.... In the span of one afternoon, Maggie Sampson lost everything—her job, her fiancé and her inheritance. The thing she’ll miss most though is her mind. What else could explain her vision of the handsome and enigmatic stranger who retrieved her engagement ring when she hurled the rock into the Atlantic Ocean? Normal people just don’t do things like that. Sometimes fantasy is better than reality. A Hero Who Needed Saving... To the rest of the world, Neil Phillips is a decorated war hero, a Navy SEAL who has what it takes to get the job done. In private he is a walking raw wound w...

I know, I've been quiet this week. Had lots of writing to catch up on after last week's blog tour. First, some big, fat, happy-happy joy-joy news! Stellar Timing took first place in the On The Far Side contest, sci fi futuristic category! Yeah for Brennigan and Ellie! Still searching for the right home for the stellerverse, but I'll be sure to keep you posted! I was thinking about posting the first chapter or two here on the laundry list. I'll paste the blurb below, for anyone who hasn't read it. Next up, I have another interview and a Redeeming Characters book giveaway going on over at Lady Scribes . Last shot at a free Drue this year, so stop by and say hi! Back to work for me, I'm within 5 K of finishing another short and feel the need to hop to it. Stellar Timing When a man wearing blood-soaked armor begs her for sanctuary, Ellie MacIntyre is sure her mind has snapped like a dry twig. In the year 2059, poverty and stress have done much worse. What else ...

And the Winner is... Susan! Here is what Susan said about the perfect hero "I guess I am more down to earth or old fashion but my idea of a hero still is..the man who respects the woman and still opens the door for her. The man who stands up and says..we will get thru this together after the woman hears bad news from her doctor, the man who doesn't feel he is a sissy when he gets up from the dinner table and says" you go rest..I will do the dishes tonight" because he knows the woman is in so much pain but she still wants to do what is expected. I married my hero almost 47 years ago and he is all MAN no matter if he does do things that most housewives feel are their jobs. I can not find anyone more devoted and caring then the hero I have and he is known as my Husband. Not bragging..just stating a fact and giving credit where it is due." Really girls, do we want more than this? (Snarkerella says maybe he could put the seat down sometimes;-) Susan, shoot me your ad...

Gimme an E! Gimme an R! Gimme an O! What's that spell to you ? Part of being a decent writer is power of description. Everyone sees the world through his/her first person POV. Letting others see the world, or in this case, a hero, through yours is the trick here. In honor of St. Valentine, the poor bastard who must wear a diaper and a quiver full of arrows and smite the unwitting for eternity, I want you to describe to me your idea of the perfect hero. What does he look like, sound like, smell like? Use those senses! What does he do for a living? What are his hobbies and interests? Tell me why he's the ultimate hero. I will comment on every entry, because as a feedback junkie I know how important it is to a writer, no matter what stage of the game they are playing. And I won't take off for spelling, because I'm not a total hypocrite! To make things interesting the winner gets an autographed copy of Jackson Corners , or as I like to call it these days, what not to do ...
