After bumping into the same cute guy three times in Cape Town, Tia's reminded she still has desires. Before long, they’re hiking over Table Mountain together, and getting to know each other.

But when trouble brews in the African sky, a wild storm leaves them stranded on the mountain as night falls. Levi's survival skills provide them with quick shelter as the storm rages above. But for Tia, another storm rages between her and her sexy saviour. Will he teach her to trust again? Or is there more to the hot American than meets the eye?

A NEW NAME IN WRITING, Meet Joseph Y Roberts.

When I first came across Joseph, it was in a writer's group that we are both members of. I was intrigued with this bearded guy, he said little I thought, yet, what he did share always kept me interested. So when he announced the release of his latest title, BRIGHT LIGHT DARK HEART, I saw it as an opportunity to bribe him to come along here and answer a few questions. Turns out he is a real gem and I hope you go check out his books. 

Mary Bradford: Can you tell us a little about yourself? 

Joseph Y Roberts: I'm afraid not. I have a congenital defect that won't allow me to use personal pronouns. But I could tell you a lot. I was born and raised in a suburb of Los Angeles in the late fifties. It had a small town feel despite being a part of the L.A. metropolis. Because of that, I like to call myself a “small town boy from a big city.” I spent many years working as a newspaper graphic artist building display ads. When you work at a newspaper, you learn the ins and outs of human behavior. My hobby of tabletop role-playing games honed my understanding and drafting of character backstory and portrayal. I feel all my experiences and interests have paved the way to my being a writer, a feeling I suspect may be common among wirters. In short, I have arrived where I need to be.  

MB: What genres do you like to write in? 

JYR: Historic and military fiction, which combine well together. Though I have been told by writer colleagues that my stories always have a literary flavor, no matter what genre is intended.

MB:What is the title of your latest book, (tell us a bit about it)? 

JYR: Bright Light, Dark Heart is my current release. It's the first story of the Jacob Vanderhoek cycle of tales that will ultimately be compiled into the mosaic novel “Echo Four.” It tells of Jacob's first major mission to guard a farmer's family from Communist insurgents seeking to kill them as collaborators. His life and prejudices are on the line.   

MB: What are you currently working on? 

JYR:Well, mostly on my first novel of historic fiction about the Second Boer War at the turn of the 20^th century. I also work on short stories my muse insists be written.  

MB: When and where do you like to write? Have you a favourite place? 

JYR: Oh yes. It's at a TV table at my living room couch during the day. At night, I shift to my desk in my room, the first bedroom I've had in five years (long story). Of those two, the second is my favorite, because of the joy of having my own private space once more. 

MB: Has there been a defining moment in your career that made you think, ‘Yes, I am a writer’? 

JYR: What a great question. Let's see if I have a great answer. Okay, for me it was the moment I almost gave up writing altogether. I had received harsh, but ultimately honest, feedback on a story rejected by an anthology. It was a hard rejection. I was devastated. I thought the story good ((I was wrong by the way) and felt if my best was so wretched, I had no business calling myself a writer. After sulking a few days, I got angry and took it out on the story, ripping it down to its bare bones. I resubmitted the quivering remains. It was rejected, but the feedback was more positive, the bare skeleton now seen as a good staring point. Encouraged, I rewrote, giving it useful meat. That version was accepted. I had been baptized by fire and emerged stronger and war-hardened. When I looked back on that experience, I did think, “What do you know? I AM a writer.”

            Since then, when anyone asks me what I do, I say with a smile, “I'm a writer.” 

MB: What is next for you?

JYR: Release the next stories in Jacob's saga, build a readership for them, finish the first draft of the Boer War novel (or BWN as I call it). The next Jacob Vanderhoek story is a novelette called “Scars.” I also have several short stories I plan to submit to magazines. I haven't entirely abandoned traditional publishing. 

MB: Many thanks for taking part in this interview. 

JYR: You're welcome. It was my pleasure. 

Book blurb to whet your appetite:

 

Rhodesia 1977. A grassfire war rages as Communist insurgents fight to overthrow the white minority government. Into this fray stalks the Selous Scouts, a shadowy Special Ops regiment of the Rhodesian military, waging counter-insurgency tactics bent on terrorizing the terrorists. Pvt. Jacob, their newest member, is assigned a Bright Light duty protecting an isolated farming family from terrorist assault. Facing the enemies without, Jacob must fight his prejudices and flaws within.

JUST A THOUGHT

It is eleven minutes past twelve midnight. I am here alone sitting on my couch. I am not alone in the sense that I live alone. I have family. I am probably the lone wolf, the one not talked about.  I understand this. They do not mean me harm but it is all because they do not understand me.  

Yes. It is as simple as that.  I work differently to others. What strikes others may not have an effect on me, yet something such as a word or a thought might send me into a spiral. I will not ever explain to those close to me how I work. Do not get me wrong, I have tried. They are all amazing to me and for me.

I need outlets that others do not. I can drink some wine or other alcohol beverage and I see stories, fantasies that others want to share yet unless we are in the same stratosphere, all is lost.

Do not get me wrong. I am on no account saying that alcohol is needed for what I am endorsing. I am saying that your opinion is so different from others that you must take a step back and read. Read what is put in front of you and think.  

Think what is being said, it may not be what you want to hear, but it may be the thing you wanted to read, or as they say, it may be the RIGHT thing you needed to hear.But you cannot be seen to agrree with.  Is it an alien being or a washed up remains on a local strand? 

Whatever, be safe and be that friend that others need.

                 

Meet Romance Author, Charlotte Howard.

I have the honour of hosting a really lovely writer on my blog today. Her name is Charlotte Howard and below is a quick question & answer session we shared recently. Read on and learn more about Charlotte and her writing. Links to connect with her and to buy her books are at the end of the interview. 

Mary Bradford: Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Charlotte Howard: Hi! I’m Charlotte, I live in Somerset with my husband, two children, and growing menagerie of animals, and I spend my days writing and drinking tea. I currently have 5 published books (4 novels and a novella), with 1 more coming out soon.

MB: What genres do you like to write in?

CH: Erotic and Contemporary Romance. Although I’d like to write something within the genres of paranormal / fantasy.

MB: What is the title of your latest book, (tell us a bit about it)?

CH: The Final Straight is a hot contemporary romance that tells the story of April and Max, best-friends who are madly in love, but won’t admit it. Until AJ, April’s ex comes back onto the scene that is. It’s a classic love triangle, with steamy sex scenes, all set in the equestrian industry.

MB: What are you currently working on?

CH: I have a new book – Taking Care of Leah – coming out in June, and Four Letter Words (part two of the Words Duet) is also being released in the same month, so I’ve been taking a bit of a break from writing. However, I always have at least one work-in-progress, and the one I’m working on at the moment is a typical billionaire erotic romance.

MB: When and where do you like to write? Have you a favourite place?

CH: I tend to write on my laptop in the front room with the TV on. I can’t work in complete silence; I need background noise. I also have to have a cup of tea next to me.

MB: Has there been a defining moment in your career that made you think, ‘Yes, I am a writer’?

CH: Not yet! I still don’t think of myself as a writer, even though I’ve been self-employed as one since 2008 when I started freelancing. Every now and then I have a brief moment, like when I was on BBC Radio Somerset after Seven Dirty Words was first released, or when I was featured in Writing Magazine and the local paper. However, I don’t think I’ll truly feel like I’ve made it until I’ve been on the Sunday Times best sellers list. (Soon hopefully!) 

MB: What is next for you?

CH: At the moment, actually starting my latest WIP. I’d like to create a pen name and write a fantasy series – I have something in mind, but just can’t get it written.

MB: Many thanks Charlotte for joining me and sharing with us all about your books.
