Romance Author

Author Resources

I’ve compiled a list of resources I think are helpful to newbies and long-time authors alike.

INFORMATION RESOURCES

THE COURTNEY PROJECT

Courtney writes under the names Lyra Parish and is one half of the Kennedy Fox writing duo (a USA TODAY bestselling duo at that!).

Courtney’s videos are informative, real, and inspiring. She has so many great videos up with lots of helpful info. Plus she hosts Live Writing Sprints that have helped MANY authors crank out all the words.

I highly recommend joining her Facebook Group, Write 10k in a Day – Challenge Group, where you’ll find loads of author buddies who will helpe challenge each other to write.

ALESSANDRA TORRE INK

Alessandra Torre is a New York Times bestselling author, has had a book made into a movie, and hosts a yearly conference (Inkers Con) to help authors of any status. (I attended this event online last year, and will be attending again this year.)

Alessandra’s website is an easy to use, informative website that has valuable links and posts for new and established authors.

Make sure to join the Facebook Group Alessandra Torre Inkers, where you’ll find even more useful informationโ€”and maybe make a few author friends!

EDITING/FORMATTING/COVERS/PROMO

EDITING & PROOFREADING

I’ve worked with a few editors & proofreaders over the years, and I ADORE all of these editors and trust them explicitly.

Editing by C. Marie
Judy’s Proofreading
Deaton Author Services
Julia Griffis

MARKETING & PROMO

Working with Valentine PR has been a game-changer for me. I feel seen, heard, and I feel like that even though I am a little fish in a big pond, I matter to them.

If full-time PR isn’t in your budget (totally understandable), Valentine partners with Grey’s Promotions.

Another affordable option is Wildfire Marketing Solutions.

COVER DESIGNERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS

Before I began writing I was a cover artist, so I’m fortunate enough to make my own covers most of the time. However, I have worked with some designers & photographers over the years that I recommend.

Najla Qamber Designs
Regina Wamba
The Image Apothecary
Lindee Robinson Photography
Emily Wittig Designs

FOCUS TOOLS

BLOCKSITE

This easy to use extension allows you to block websites so you don’t get distracted. My favorite feature is “Work Mode”, where I can use it to do my sprints and stay focused.

NOISES ONLINE

I LOVE using this site to block out the world! It has such a fun variety of sounds you can play with and mix, and the Coffee Shop noise is especially helpful when I can’t make it to my beloved Starbucks.

COLD TURKEY WRITER

This program is a game-changer! It blocks your computer except for the program, allowing you to ONLY focus on writing. My productivity has sky-rocketed with this. I have no idea how I got stuff done before.

(There is an option to NOT lock your computer too for those who research as they write.)

DESIGN & SWAG

DEPOSITPHOTOS

This website offers stock images that are affordable and fresh. They have a wide variety (sometimes stuff you can never unsee) and regularly have some great sales. I use this for teasers and promo images for every release.

CREATIVE MARKET

Need a graphic? A font? A template? A stock photo?

Creative Market has EVERYTHING. Plus, they offer 6 FREE goodies every week. It’s affordable and you can find so many hidden gems on this site.

STICKERMULE

This website offers stock images that are affordable and fresh. They have a wide variety (sometimes stuff you can never unsee) and regularly have some great sales. I use this for teasers and promo images for every release.This is one of my absolute favorite places to get stickers, coasters, and labels from.

The quality is amazing, the proofing/shipping is FAST, and they have soooo many amazing sales that make their products incredibly affordable. If you’d like a $10 store credit, clickย hereย (you won’t regret it!).

CANVA

This drag and drop graphics creator is a life-saver!

Before I started writing, I was a cover designer for many years and designed nearly 500 covers. I am very efficient in Photoshop, so when I say this tool is amazing, I mean it!

Don’t walk…RUN to this tool!

It’s free, but I personally believe that paying a subscription is 100% worth the price and then some.

Hollis: Umโ€ฆsir? Lowell: Okay, first, I didnโ€™t Hollis: Umโ€ฆsir?
Lowell: Okay, first, I didnโ€™t realize that would be hot.
Hollis: Itโ€™s not happening, so move on.
Lowell: *grumbles* Fine. Moving on.
Lowell: How may I help you, maโ€™am?
Hollis: Did you have a pizza delivered to my apartment? Specifically a heart-shaped one?
Lowell: Oh. That.
Lowell: Yeah, it was me.
Hollis: Why????
Lowell: Because itโ€™s Valentineโ€™s Day.
Lowell: Our baby might not be here yet, but I wanted to make sure Momma was taken care of.
Hollis: Thatโ€™sโ€ฆreally sweet. Like really, really sweet.
Hollis: I kind of want to kiss you right now.
Lowell: Iโ€™d let you.
Hollis: Iโ€™m sure you would.
Lowell: I wish we werenโ€™t on the road AGAIN.
Lowell: Fuck, I hate road games.
Lowell: Especially because Iโ€™m always stuck on the bus next to Miller and he never wants to shut the hell up.
Hollis: Miller shuts up?
Lowell: No. Literally never.
Lowell: Right now, heโ€™s telling me the same story he started telling me ON THE PLANE.
Lowell: That was HOURS ago.
Lowell: And itโ€™s not even a good story. I guessed the ending two minutes into it.
Hollis: Tell him to pipe down.
Lowell: I have. I do.
Lowell: Next time, Iโ€™m bringing duct tape.
Hollis: Heโ€™ll probably just lick it off.
Lowell: Probably.
Lowell: Howโ€™s work going? Getting ahead like you wanted to?
Hollis: Yes, though I think Iโ€™m going to call it a night. Iโ€™m tired. Baby is sucking up all my energy today.
Lowell: Go rest, then. Take your pizza to bed and spoon with it and pretend itโ€™s me.
Hollis: Thatโ€™s not weird at all.
Lowell: Hey, I know some people who take their pizza very seriously and wouldnโ€™t bat an eye.
Hollis: I am really scared to know if youโ€™re โ€œsome people.โ€
Lowell: Guess youโ€™ll never know.
Hollis: See you tomorrow?
Lowell: Yes.
Lowell: Oh, and happy Valentineโ€™s Day.
Lowell: Iโ€™ll give you your present tomorrow. ๐Ÿ‘…

โ€œThatโ€™s a bad idea.โ€ โ€œI know.โ€ โ€œItโ€™s โ€œThatโ€™s a bad idea.โ€
โ€œI know.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s a really, really bad idea.โ€
โ€œI know.โ€
โ€œThis is exactly like one of those bad ideas I was talking about earlier.โ€
โ€œI know, Hollis.โ€ I squeeze her ass cheeks, dropping my forehead to hers. โ€œI know.โ€
Sheโ€™s right. Itโ€™s a really bad idea. Like the worst possible one ever.
Sheโ€™s my teammateโ€™s sister-in-law. Collin would kill me. Not to mention sheโ€™s freshly divorced and sleeping with her right now would probably fall into a morally gray area. Sheโ€™s too emotionally vulnerable.
Sheโ€™s tooโ€”
She moves her hips, rubbing herself against my c*ck, which is still dying to get out of these dress pants. I grip her hips, tugging her closer because oh god does she feel good. I run my nose along her jaw, loving the smell of fresh flowers that seems to be radiating off her. 
โ€œWhat are you doing, Hollis?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t know.โ€
โ€œI thought this was a bad decision.โ€
โ€œIt is. Such a bad one.โ€
โ€œThe worst,โ€ I agree, peppering kisses along her neck.
She nods. โ€œLowell?โ€
โ€œHmm?โ€
She pulls back, our eyes colliding, the moon reflecting off her dark blue gaze.
If this is the moment she walks away, I want to commit it to memory. Sheโ€™s gorgeous, her skin slightly sticky from the heat in the air, cheeks flushed from my kisses, hair a mess from my hands.
Her mouth opens, and she says something I didnโ€™t know I needed to hear so badly.
โ€œI want to make a one-time bad decision with you.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m pregnant.โ€

Thatโ€™s what my teammateโ€™s sister-in-law tells me after our one-night stand.

I didnโ€™t expect to see Hollis again, let alone end up raising a child with her.

We set some ground rulesโ€”weโ€™ll raise the baby together, but thatโ€™s it.
No relationship, no future, and definitely no kissing.

But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep track of where the lines were once drawn.

Iโ€™m known for my one-timer on and off the ice, but this game with Hollis just got a lot more complicatedโ€ฆ
