Senior year.

Three girls. Three guys.

Hockey and rivalry.

Mean girls and friendships.

Old loves and new chances.

One more year of being invisible.

One more year to win it all.

The countdown begins.

Senior year can’t come or end fast enough for Amelia Campbell. For the shy, nerdy girl-next-door that she is, high school is torture and all she wants is for it to be over. Having her heart broken by a popular, womanizing boy all those years ago doesn’t help the matters. Nor does his best friend who still has a habit of mercilessly teasing her. Now, she only has one year left, one year to be invisible before she can move on with her life.

Derek King doesn’t do drama, but his life is all about drama once Maximillian Sanders steps foot into his town, his school, and into Amelia’s life. Max is always around, and he is making her smile again. But the boy who once broke her heart isn’t ready to let her go. Older and wiser, Derek isn’t about to let someone take away what he wants, and he wants Amelia.

She's set on not believing in him and on not getting her heart broken once again. He is set on showing her wrong.

She says she hates him, but maybe the line between past and present, love and hate is thinner than she ever realized.

Anna B. Doe is a young adult and new adult contemporary romance author. She writes real-life romance that is equal parts sweet and sexy. She’s a coffee and chocolate addict. Like her characters, she loves those two things dark, sweet and with little extra spice.

Beyond the Book: The Captain and the Cheerleader

Welcome to Beyond the Book. I've introduced you to my hero Kurt and my heroine Susan, so today I'd like to introduce you to Susan's father whose name is Bill English.

Bill came from a working class background, but his dream was to teach and coach high school football. He had to take out some student loans, but his dreams came true. He also fell in love with a beautiful girl he met at college. Her name was Marjorie, and her father disapproved of the marriage because teachers don't make a lot of money.

After Bill retired he took a job at a local discount store because his pension wasn't enough to pay the bills. As the book progresses, we see all of Bill's insecurities and perceived failures as he tries to protect his daughter from making the biggest mistake of her life.

Excerpt:

So she wanted to know, did she? “Okay, I meant Susan’s stuck now. No more remodeling her house, no more new clothes, or trips. She can’t afford it.”

Marjorie passed him another bowl. “Be careful of that bowl. It belonged to my grandmother. As far as remodeling goes, Susan doesn’t need anything more done to her house. She may miss her trip to Paris next summer, but there’ll be other years to take vacations.”

“If they can afford it."

She squeezed out the dishcloth and draped it across a rack under the sink. “They’ll work it out. You know they will.”

Bill scowled. “Like we did, you mean? Look at this stuff,” he cried as he brandished a serving fork. “Where’d you get this? Super Mart, right? You’ve never had any nice silver or china either. What do you call those plates?

“Stoneware, but...”

“But nothing. I’m a failure, and I guess I might as well face it. I wanted to coach football for a living! What were you thinking to marry me anyway? Why didn’t you listen to your father? Coach football!”

He slammed the fork and drying cloth onto the cabinet and stalked away. Man, he hated Kurt Deveraux!

Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors: It's Release Day

Welome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors, you chance to sample the work of a talented group of authors. Today just happens to be release day for The Captain and the Cheerleader so I know you can guess where today's excerpt will come from. When you finish here you can find more excerpts at Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors.

Here's a blurb and then an excerpt.

Blurb:

Susan English can’t stand Robin Lanford!  She’s so full of herself she irritates everyone on the faculty of Fairfield High.  When Robin bets Susan fifty dollars that she can’t get a date with Kurt Deveraux, the head football coach, Susan jumps at the chance to put the little heifer in her place.  She had no idea that teaching Robin a lesson would irrevocably change her life, strain treasured friendships, and throw two families into chaos.

Excerpt:

One

Robin Landford swept into the room and plopped down into an orange plastic chair beside Susan English. “I think Kurt Deveraux is gay.”

It was Friday afternoon, but Robin’s statement halted the teacher exodus from the faculty lounge.

“Why do you say that, Robin?” Susan asked. Yeah, her voice sounded chilly and a bit snooty, but she couldn’t help herself. Robin was fresh out of college and seemed to think she was God’s gift to men; she flirted with anything in pants. This annoying little creature had probably made a play for Kurt’s attention and been rejected. Of course, in Robin’s defense, she’d have to say that not many women could ignore Kurt Deveraux. There might be a man somewhere who had more sex appeal than the blond, blue- eyed coach, but Susan doubted it. 


The book will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and at http://www.wingsepress.com.  I don't know if all of the buy links are up or not, but I'd think so. It's available in both print and as an ebook. If you'd  be interested in me coming to your blog to talk about the book, just let me know. I'd love to come.

Meet Susan English

Susan English is the heroine of my soon to be released novel The Captain and the Cheerleader. I've having a cover reveal next Tuesday on Facebook. I'll be giving away some nice prizes, and so I hope everyone will be able to stop by. I'll remind you next week.

For today's post, I'd like to tell you a little bit about Susan. First, Susan's a teacher at Fairfield High. Coincidently, she teaches English. Susan grew up in Arizona where her father was a high school football coach, but she moved to Fairfield when she accepted her dream job. Her family followed shortly afterward. Her best friend Melissa grew up in Fairfield. Susan and my hero Kurt both work at the same school.

Here's how Kurt described Susan.

Susan smiled again and made his heart beat a little faster. Man, she was pretty! Her honey blonde hair gleamed under the overhead lights. She wore it short, and it looked so cute with the ends turned under. Was she wearing contacts? If not, she had the most vivid blue eyes he’d ever seen. What word would describe her skin? Maybe velvet would do. Yeah, velvet the color of the palest pink in a seashell. She was tall too, maybe five nine, with great legs and a bottom that had the sexiest curve he had seen in a long time.
