It's finally Friday!! Wah-Hoo!
If the week has given you a Smack-Down, well, you've come to the "write" place!!
If the week has given you a Smack-Down, well, you've come to the "write" place!!
Sit back and let the charming Rebecca Rose revamp your battery!
Go snag a snack and slip into a comfy seat. It's time to let TLN take your cares away . . .
1) If you were a book, what would your blurb be?
Rebecca Rose needs a day off, but will she get one? Her first novel, Divine Turmoil hit the eBook world in November of 2009. Now her follow up, Divine Redemption is coming out at the end of the summer and she can’t be more ecstatic. She’s blurb editing for Lyrical Press Inc., she’s guest blogging for author friends, and reviews books in between car pools, orthodontist appointments, and class trips for her three children.
But what about that bath she wanted to take last night? Will she get it in? Will she be able to do the ten loads of laundry that sits in waiting for her at the bottom of the shoot? And will she ever feel the satisfaction of getting the third book in her series, Divine Valor, finished?
There’s one thing standing in Rebecca Rose’s way, the knowledge that her well obtained balance of work and life has been disrupted by the continuous chatter of characters begging for attention. Will she be able to ignore them and stay on her path of stability or will she have to stop in mid-editing to pacify the nagging needs of the voices?
LOL I’m such a blurb snot! I even made sure to keep this under 200 words!!
2) Using three words, describe your voice.
Soft, sensual, and caring.
3) What's the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome in your writing?
My fear of success. Yes, you read that right. I was afraid after I achieved what I set out to do I wouldn’t keep doing what I loved. I’ll try anything once and I didn’t want this to be one of those things that drifted away with a passing breeze. Of course, this would be up to me in the end, but “then what?” I would ask my self. “What do I do after I’ve accomplished my goal?” I answered this by saying, “Well Becc, lets see if you can do it again!” And I have, multiple times.
4) What's your secret to staying motivated and productive?
A lot of caffeine! Just joking. LOL I’m a self motivator; always have been. When I find myself slacking that’s when I know I need to take a day off. Then I don’t give myself an option, I get right back to work. If you’re out in a work atmosphere you can’t be wishy-washy about working, so you can’t do it working at home either. That and a timer. Without a timer I tend to spend too much time promoting or editing. I allow so much time for certain things. It works well for me.
5) Do you have any tips for the newbies out there on how to build a platform for their writing?
Don’t be overly shy like I was in the beginning. Speak LOUD AND CLEAR. Authors love helping other authors. If you need something ask. Advice, guest spots, direction, whatever it is your voice is one of your greatest assets, use it! Get out there and make a lot of noise.
6) What can Rebecca Rose fans look forward to this year?
*giddy with excitement* Divine Redemption is coming out later this year and I can’t wait. I wrote this novel in two and half weeks and it was so much fun. I think my readers are going to love it. There’s action, suspense, and of course those wonderful love scenes!

Blurb:
Sometimes Redemption Is The Only Salvation Needed To Forgive Yourself.
In his first ever selfless act Donald Write takes a bullet for a man he just met, Daniel Allen. Now he's changed his name and moved across the country to live with Daniel’s family whose welcoming home reception wasn't very warm.
Jacqueline is Daniel’s daughter. This soft spoken, well dressed lady soon teaches Donald that looks can be deceiving and her heart can be his if he’s willing to open up and except her gift of love.
Donald hadn't counted on the intense and immediate attraction to Jacqueline. She’s the boss’s daughter and off limits; that is until he finds himself with an irresistible primal need to be with her. She shows him love in away he's never felt before and gives him the strength to become the better man he's always wanted to be. But how can Donald touch and care for someone so pure of heart when their future can be destroyed by his past? A future built on redemption and second chances.
Well, now! Doesn't that just whet your appetite?! I'd like to thank Rebecca for letting me interview her. Don't ya just love her book cover? Talk about a divine color scheme!
