Synopsis
Maggie Walker yearns for the one thing she’s never truly felt: love. After years of rejection and abandonment, the shy and timid Nurse found that running felt right and provided her with the solitude she needed to avoid the haunting memories of her past.

Keeping to her routines and having complete control of her life, made things easier, but not more exciting. When chance steps in, it throws the unexpected in her path in the form of a handsome stranger named Charlie. Charlie Hennings lives under the pressure of expectation. When forced to follow in his father’s footsteps as an FBI Agent, he left behind part of himself and the chance to embrace his dreams, which included settling down and starting a family. When his latest endeavor lands him in an undercover position in Brown County, he never expects to find the one person he couldn’t live without, who also ironically ends up being directly connected to his current assignment. Throughout their journey, Charlie makes it his personal mission to help Maggie break out of her shell and convince her that she deserves all the love in the world. But when Charlie’s lies are brought to light regarding his job, will it destroy everything they’ve been working toward? Can Maggie overlook his deceit and let herself experience these new feelings of love or will she just runaway from it all?

**This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for readers under the age of 18.**


Excerpt
Charlie trailed his fingertips lightly down my neck and over my exposed breasts all the way to my waist. He took a puckered nipple into his mouth, the warmth of his breath caused my back to arch and a groan to release from deep within the back of my throat from the heavenly sensation.

My breathing picked up, coming out in audible pants as he began alternating kissing and nipping his way down to my aching core. He ended his descent on the inside of my outstretched thighs, closely hovering over the one place I longed for him the most. The one place I so desperately needed him and would beg him relentlessly until he settled himself there.

He took a deep breath inhaling my scent, which would normally make me shy away with embarrassment but, I was so completely aroused that he could be doing this in public and I wouldn’t mutter a single solitary word against it. He licked his lips and stared at me like he was salivating over his next meal.

Finally, he inched his face closer towards my core and I was so heavy with lust from the anticipation that I was involuntarily thrashing around knowing what ultimately came next.

Somewhere in the distance, I heard a constant beeping followed by forceful nudging while someone called out, “Mag Pie.”

Jolting myself upright, I opened my eyes only to realize that I was in my room, alone in my bed, with a dressed and chipper Gio walking around my bed to shut off my alarm clock.

I had to grab my head with both hands because the sound was so excruciating leading me to believe that I was severely hung over. My heart was still racing a mile a minute and my chest was rapidly rising and falling due to my being out of breath.

Oh my wow! It was only a dream or maybe I should classify that as a nightmare because it got me all worked up and now there wasn’t a single thing I could do about it since Gio was here.
Damn.

I am a wife, mother of two beautiful girlies, an avid reader, and a new Romance and New Adult author.
I was born and raised in Southern Indiana, but resided in Texas for five years while my husband was in the US Army. It was definitely a journey, but I am so glad to be back in my home state.
Whenever I'm not doing my motherly duties or at the soccer field I absolutely love to read whenever I have a moment to spare. My kindle is never far from my side.
My love of reading increased about a year ago and due to my love of books I decided to try my hand at writing. Already having a set of characters screaming to get out, my story took over and came to life.

Cover Reveal: Just About Healing by Victoria Escobar!



Expected Publication: January 14th, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Book Synopsis:
My sister was my lifeline, my beacon, my North Star. I could rely on her, depend on her, turn to her when the world was just too hard to face. She could depend on me for the same.

I laughed with her; cried with her; rejoiced her success; and part of me died with her too. I lived for her, loved no one greater than her. Without Savannah, I had no one to turn to, no one to share my soul with. My other half, closer than twins we were, was just gone.

Grief broke my soul and crushed my heart to dust. I didn’t know how to put the pieces back together. I wasn’t sure I even want to without her. How could I live knowing she would never share anything with me again?

Time, supposedly, heals all wounds. I don't believe that. But I do know there are other ways to heal. I just had to find them.

About the Author:
Once upon a time, long, long ago, Victoria was born in sunny Florida, except it wasn’t sunny; it was the middle of the night. Midnight actually, well, two minutes past, but she tried really hard for midnight.


Victoria has been to twenty one schools in her lifetime. With all the continual switching around, she’s relied on her imagination for friends and books for close companions. In high school she remained apart from the whole and spent most of her time in the library either reading or writing.


Currently, Victoria has set down roots in New York with her family. She still reads and writes every day. She finished her debut novel Of Gaea in the Spring 2013 and its sequel in Winter 2014. She has several other ideas and projects in the works and hopes to continue writing for a long time to come.

Reviews... I'm "licking" my wounds.

As a blogger, I normally don't read reviews. Why you might ask? Because I want to make sure the opinion I form about the book is completely mine. With that said, I had to read some of the reviews of one the books I'm credited as an editor. I completely loved the book and I wanted to see what the readers thought! Now I completely understand why some authors don't read reviews of their own work. According to this review, I guess the book needs to edited.

I sat here thinking oh  my. Maybe I shouldn't be editing, maybe I don't know what I am doing, I'm going to quit editing... But then I would be letting that one review rule my dreams, and that is not happening! I was thinking why would this person say that and I believe it all comes back to the -ME-...

As an editor, you have the choice to accept cringe worthy grammatical mistakes, to make the story life like. Or fix it, making the sentence some what cold. I know that Me vs I is something we are taught in grade school, but there is just something comforting in a Me statement vs an I statement. No one speaks perfect English 24/7, so why write a story about an imperfect life, in perfect English? That is the beauty of being a writer and an author. Most people get that it was purposely left that way. Obviously there are a few people that like to complain about the smallest detail.

Before you complain about the writing and editing, take a moment to think was it purposely done that way to make the story three dimensional or was it an overlooked error.
