Do you like YA contemporary novels with second chance romances, soap stars, college basketball players, strong female friendships, cinnamon roll heroes, and cute banter? Plus. there’s the added high stakes of a soap opera star up for an award and her first love, Davis, playing in a college basketball tournament. If this sound like your kind of book, then pick up Stars in the City for free from December 27th-29th on Amazon. Check out the blurb here: Valeria Joseph seems to have it all: career as actress on the soap opera, Charmed Lives, and everyone wants to be her. Her so-star, Cecily Taylor, fixes her up with a rising pop star named Dex Doyle and suddenly Valeria has a bigger spotlight on her. Then, on the busy streets of New York City, she runs into her first love, Davis, who she never got over. Davis is a college basketball player who is dealing with high pressure stressors of his own and they find themselves supporting one another and falling back in love. But, just like being on a daytime soap is full of drama—so is the publicity that surrounds Valeria. Throw in a pop star who’s crazy about her, an award show event that trends on social media for all the wrong reasons, and tons of swoony moments. Can Valeria find true love in the big city? Read an excerpt here: Davis was sweating and not having his best game, but he managed to put up twenty points . “The other team is not letting up.” Paige clutched one of my throw pillows. "I'm sweating.” Cecily pulled her shirt away from her body. “I don't even follow the sport much, but I’m dripping like I'm on the court right now.” I nodded. “I have so much adrenaline going through my body that I think I could play. Put me in, coach." They cracked up. "Yeah, I feel I could go in right now and take the game-winning shot. Somebody stop me before I try out for basketball down at the university." Paige shook her head as she reached for the popcorn. I put my hand up. "Do not put popcorn in your mouth right now because you keep shrieking each time somebody does something. You're going to choke on that popcorn, and I'm sorry, but I need to watch this game, so I can't be calling for help or performing CPR or the Heimlich maneuver, which I don't even know how to do. I’d probably end up breaking all your ribs anyways because I'm so pent-up with adrenaline and nervous energy." She put the popcorn bowl down as we continued to watch. Cecily bounced up and down on the coach. “Why am I more nervous for this than I was my first audition?” Paige started yelling then. "That guy pushed Rashad.” She stood up and yelled at the screen. “Get in there and rip his head off and bring me his skull to use as a ladle." I laughed and threw a pillow at her. "Didn’t Walker write a song about you called, ‘The Sweetest Whispers?’" She laughed. “Shh, no talking about Walker in front of Rashad. I don’t want to distract him.” The rest of the game flew by. “You guys, this is it. We’re almost out of time.” Paige jumped up from the couch. She put her hands over her mouth. “Oh my goodness, Rashad, you can do this. You can do this, baby. I love you so much right now, Rashad. I know I've never met you, but right now you're my very best friend in the whole wide world, and I think you might be my boyfriend." Time was running out, and it all came down to one time-out. Davis got ready for the tip-off. He took a big, deep breath in and exhaled slowly, and I knew he was doing the breathing exercise I showed him. I watched as he slowed down his breathing and focused. I clasped my hands together and continued praying. I prayed that he’d know he did his best no matter what happened. That he’d have the strength to carry on feeling good about what he did and how he supported his teammates. Then I prayed he wouldn't get hurt, and that he’d come out of this a stronger person who was able to be more compassionate to his teammates. The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball up. I saw Rashad go up in the air and come down hard. He started to fall, but he tossed the ball to Davis. Davis tore down the court, and I saw him pass the ball. It went whizzing so fast I didn't know how the other guy even saw it, but he caught it. The next thing I knew it went sailing toward the basket just as the buzzer went off. Paige sucked in her breath as we watched the ball like it was going in slow motion toward the basket.

I’ve been writing YA pop star romances for a while, and this time I have a pop star romance with a fake dating trope! When Stars Collide in the City is my latest book that’s a standalone in an interconnected series. Join these teens as they take on the entertainment world. From the outside, Olivia Macomb looks like she leads a charmed life. She’s an up-and-coming influencer who is an heir to the Macomb family fortune, and about to start a lifestyle brand with her childhood sweetheart, Jeff. Then her world gets blown apart by her longtime boyfriend leaving her the morning of their website launch. Not only has he left, but the business she created is all in his name and she’s been left with nothing to show for all her hard work. Now she has to pick up the pieces and find out who she is on her own. Enter Walker Vinton, the indie pop star who used to date Olivia’s close friend, Paige. When their school throws a big event, Paige asks Walker to be Olivia’s date to give to the gossip bloggers something else to talk about other than Olivia’s broken dreams. Walker ends up coming to Olivia’s rescue in more ways than one at the party, and a twist of events leads to the two embarking on a fake relationship. Walker and Olivia wind up becoming best friends and she realizes he’s the boyfriend of her dreams. He helps her build both her brand and her self-esteem back up. Walker even helps her start a new business. However, the lines begin to blur as Olivia’s feelings for Walker are very real. The two share intimate conversations and dreams, but what’s real and what’s fake in this starry world? ***FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED*** Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/When-Stars-Collide-City-Book-ebook/dp/B0D8BR4H2L Amazon CAN: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0D8BR4H2L Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D8BR4H2L Amazon AUS: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0D8BR4H2L I’m excited to share my new release, Falling for a Star in the City. It’s a standalone book that’s part of the Stars in the City interconnected series. Each book can be read on its own, but the characters all exist in the same world in New York City. Check out the blurb: Paige thought she had it all: a job on the soap opera Charmed Lives and a boyfriend who was trying to get discovered as a singer/songwriter. Then her part on the show is reduced to reoccurring status and her family pushes her to leave her acting dreams behind to major in journalism—what they call a “real job.” Her relationship with her wannabe pop star boyfriend, Walker, ends only for her to find out he signed a recording contract right after their breakup. Then she reads online that his new album is about their relationship. She gets an internship in the sports department at the TV station where she meets a college hockey player named Viktor who has trust issues from a past relationship. Now with Walker’s pop star dreams taking off, it leaves her questioning her own play-it-safe tendencies, her acting career aspirations, self-worth, and relationships. Everyone else seems to have it together but her. Paige and Viktor begin to confide in each other, which soon leaves them falling for each other, but Paige worries their worlds are too different for them to work as a couple. Plus, there’s the issue of Walker trying to back together with her, but has fame changed him? Meanwhile, Paige has a minor accident which leaves her questioning if she ever really wanted a flashy lifestyle or if it was what she felt she was supposed to want. Now she must figure out what she really needs to be happy and fulfilled in life. Can Paige find both her purpose & true love?

Paige is driven by her dreams of acting success and haunted by a recent breakup with Walker. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she starts an internship at a TV station, initially performing menial tasks but eventually impressing the sports department. Paige faces professional and emotional challenges, encountering Viktor, a hockey player, and seeing her ex, Walker, whose music career was inspired by their split. The story captures Paige's inner conflicts and resilience as she navigates her evolving relationships with Walker and Viktor, culminating in moments of personal growth and professional achievements. Falling for a Star in the City is rich with themes of love, career ambitions, and personal discovery. Krysten Lindsay Hager carefully shows the ups and downs of Paige's feelings and choices, helping readers understand her successes and failures. The writing is both engaging and straightforward and the use of humor and introspection maintains intrigue and emotional resonance. The descriptive language and relatable dialogue enhance the characters and their experiences. The setting is the vibrant backdrop of the city, and the tone is a blend of lightheartedness and emotional depth; both capture the protagonist's optimistic yet sometimes uncertain outlook on her future. Paige is a well-rounded character. Her interactions with Walker and Viktor are key to the story, revealing different sides of her personality and helping her grow emotionally. The other characters, like her friends and coworkers, enrich the story by showing the importance of friendship and support. The title itself aptly captures the essence of the story. The word "star" hints at Paige's acting career and her romantic interests, giving the title an intriguing double meaning. This sets the stage for the themes of love, ambition, and self-discovery that unfold. The book also gives a clear message of resilience and being true to yourself. It highlights the importance of real connections and having the courage to chase your dreams, no matter the obstacles. Falling for a Star in the City is a compelling narrative that resonates with its authentic portrayal of personal growth and relationships. Today we welcome Sharon J. Burton to the blog to talk about her new book. I have a copy and it's a wonderful indepth guide with everything from advice on dealing with the inner critic, how to create the perfect creative environment down to the lighting, along with ways to spark your creativity. She has great info on journaling as well as journaling prompts for every section covered in the book. If you're someone looking to add more creativity in your life or, as part of an already established creative practice, then this book is a must have. Tell us about your new book. What inspired you to write it? Creative Sparks: 21 Affirmations and Inspiration at Midlife is a book that provides support for emerging creatives at midlife who encounter circumstances that may derail their creative goals or affect their creative potential. By the use of affirmations, tips and testimonies by their peers, it is my hope that people will gain the confidence to move forward with pursuing a creative life that fuels their passion, no matter what age they are. It is a book I needed some years ago when I was thinking about re-engaging my creative life after graduate school and working professionally in a non-creative world for a number of years. I wanted to revisit my passion for creating art, but doubted myself thinking I was too old or that I really wasn’t the artist I thought I was in high school. After being introduced to the concept of affirmations in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, I found writing them to be helpful for me to release negative thoughts and feelings about my creativity and move forward towards engaging in a vibrant creative life. Since starting my creativity coaching practice, I have encountered beautifully talented creative people who want to engage in a creative life after the kids have left home, a divorce, or retirement. They are often entering a new role without the benefit of having years of experience in navigating a creative life. This is where the book steps in to help move you forward, no matter whether or not you were creative as a kid or younger person or if you are pursuing a creative life for the first time. I love the idea of reaching readers/artists/creatives at midlife pursuing creativity. Why did you decide to focus on midlife? All of my clients are over the age of 40. As a person at midlife myself, as a Gen Xer, many of us were not encouraged as other generations after us to pursue a creative life. Some of us were discouraged from going to art school or pursuing creative endeavors by well meaning family members who felt that it would lead to a life of poverty. For example, when I was coming out of high school in the late 80s, there was a heavy emphasis on pursuing academic degrees such as business, health care, engineering, law, etc. I didn’t experience a climate of celebrating art, artists and creativity. A lot of us who were trying to engage in creative activity also encountered criticism about our work as youth or young adults that haunts us regarding the ability to create to this day.. As a result, many of us entered careers that were considered stable and financially rewarding. It helped us to buy homes, raise our own families and take care of our obligations. Quite a few of us thrived in these careers but many of us didn’t feel aligned with what we were doing. Some of us who were lucky to pursue creative passions beyond high school had to abandon them to raise families and pursue these careers, but secretly long to return to it. My own physician shared recently that she was a singer in a band before she finished medical school. Today she is a wife, mom, and juggling her own health care practice with her husband. Her face told me all I needed to know about how much she missed that creative part of her life. A lot of us learned to hide that we have these creative passions. I was sharing with an attorney in my age group the other day about my book and her eyes got big and she stated she has been in the process of writing a mystery novel, almost in a hushed tone. It reflected how I feel about many people who may not have felt comfortable owning and sharing that side of themselves as a result of an era that didn’t appear to value their creative interests. I see this book as a love letter to them. That it is never too late to engage into your creative passions. Can you share a little about how and why you use affirmations to help with creativity? I share in the book about what affirmations are, which I define as statements that are in the present tense that are designed to “re-wire” or challenge negative thought patterns. I also highlight a few research studies that examine the role and benefits of positive self-affirmations, which provides some level of scientific evidence that in the proper context, affirmations can work. As someone who didn’t feel confident re-engaging into my creative passion, which was art, my doubts and insecurities kept me from moving forward for a time. After learning about affirmations and how to use them in a way that helped me, I was able to coach and motivate myself in pursuing my art practice and eventually to exhibit my work. That was over 15 years ago and I continue to use affirmations as part of my daily morning journaling practice to focus on intentions every day. What are some of the creative blocks/issues you help creatives work through and how? Many people are encountering the more common blocks such as dealing with the inner critic, imposter syndrome and creative anxiety. A common one is time management…people are juggling more than ever in their lives and time for their creative life is often hard to schedule. I am also finding that grief is becoming more of an issue than it once was, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grieving a lot right now, whether it’s the death of a loved one, a life circumstance (ex: divorce, a move to another city, our personal health issues that affect how we navigate the world, witnessing the mental or physical decline of our parents, loss of income) or collective humanitarian issues. Grief affects our ability to enjoy the things we are passionate about and can block us from pursuing them. I use everything from affirmations to mindful exercises to help people achieve a sense of balance to achieve their creative goals. It looks different for everyone based on their needs and their commitment to the process. Much of how I assist blocked creatives in many circumstances is provided in Creative Sparks. Could you share one of the affirmations that’s helped you during a period of imposter’s syndrome? I am an author of a book that positively impacts the lives of artists and creatives.

Tell us about your new book. A Diamond Bright and Broken is a YA epic fantasy and my debut novel, releasing November 5, 2024 with Inimitable Books. It’s a Tangled retelling with a genderbent Flynn Rider and includes disability rep, sapphic romance, mages with unique magic, and a ride or die sister relationship. Here’s the book blurb: Sixteen-year-old Cadence was born with the ability to cry tears of diamonds–a secret talent her parents have abused to climb the royal ranks thanks to the infinite source of wealth. At their command, she cries diamonds to pay for the pricey treatments for her sister’s neuromuscular disorder. Regardless of the pain, she’ll do anything for her sister, who weakens by the day. When the prince heckles Cadence at the King’s Summer Solstice Ball about her sister’s disability while dancing in the ballroom, she’s left on the verge of tears, threatening to expose her power. She is saved by a mysteriously charming girl who sweeps in to take the next dance—and the single diamond Cadence cried. The stranger reveals the Magi Queen sent her to tell Cadence that she’s a mage, and that her power is a curse. Yearning to discover the secrets behind her powers, Cadence sets off for the City of Magi. To claim the life she wants, Cadence must embrace her power—before she loses the bright spots in her otherwise sad existence. After all, even diamonds can shatter. What inspired you to write it? I’d written and queried a few manuscripts before writing A Diamond Bright and Broken. When I came up with the concept, I’d seen a beautiful YouTube thumbnail of an illustrated girl crying. For some reason I thought, what if she was crying diamonds? And the story grew from there! Cadence is most like me out of all the characters I’ve written, so I think I was finally ready to write someone who really represented me. Can you share a little about your writing process? I’m a plotter who likes to know where my story is going and how it will end before I write it. I follow the Save the Cat beat sheet to plot out my story and save everything to story bible in Microsoft Word. I usually take 1-2 months to finish a 1st draft and try to write during live writing sprints or with writer friends for accountability. I let it rest for a few weeks before doing some developmental edits before handing it to beta readers and critique partners. Then I go through maaany rounds of edits before I feel it’s ready enough to query. And I usually pay for a professional to critique/edit the first few chapters, my query letter, and synopsis to ensure my whole query package is as strong as possible. What inspires your creativity/writing (music, movies, art, etc. Feel free to share links to playlists or Pinterest boards)? I love listening to instrumental music, and also hearing other people talk about their stories gets me hype about mine! That’s why I love connecting with the writing community. I have a writing music playlist of songs I listen to when I write which you can find here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRAw-sOu1AE0yPD2-lQrTvW_UeN2oVGVD&si=1otXORXyvGxDd8VC Anything else you’d like to share about your book? Diamond is the first book in a duology, so you’ll get to be in this world a bit longer (I’m writing the sequel right now!). Also, if you submit your preorder receipt, you’ll receive 3 full body character art cards which are gorgeous! https://www.inimitablebooksllc.com/a-diamond-bright-and-broken Favorites: Favorite book in your preteen years? I actually read a lot of Robert Cormier books in 6th and 7th grade before I found my fantasy groove in high school. A lot of Cormier’s books were about troubled teens and had a lot of swearing in it, which was definitely the opposite of me, but maybe that’s why I was drawn to reading about it? Favorite book now? The Shades of Magic series by VE Schwab. A Darker Shade of Magic was the first book to completely draw me in by the prose that felt like a poetic story, made me stop and admire Schwab’s writing craft, and bring such intrigue. Favorite actor/actress? I don’t really have any faves, but I loved Tom Holland in Spiderman. Movie and/or TV show? I love all things cooking shows like MasterChef and MasterChef Junior. I don’t cook much so their skills are super impressive and their stories and journeys are inspiring! Singer? I’m definitely a Swiftie! Ha ha. I love the poetic lines she creates and both her upbeat and somber songs. I also really like female Kpop groups like BLACKPINK, VCHA, ITZY, and TWICE.

Tell us about your new book. My latest release is called FAN SERVICE. It is a steamy novella about a Korean Pop idol and a fan who took a chance during a fan event. And all my books offer a fun little bonus of learning Korean as you read. But if that isn’t for you, the Korean doesn’t take away from the story. What inspired you to write it? Funnily enough a personal experience at a K-pop concert. No, I did not hook up with an idol (lol) but I had chosen to something a little different at a hi-touch event and my fav member of the group took notice of it. That caused my writer brain to question “what would happen if this were to play out in a romance novel?” Can you share a little about your writing process? I tend to write most novels in journals first. Then transfer over to the computer. I know it is an extra step but for me I am better at putting paper to pen then fingers to keyboard. I also don’t write in order. If a scene comes to me that is what I write first. I then tab all the scenes into order for when I am typing it up. What inspires your creativity/writing (music, movies, art, etc. Feel free to share links to playlists or Pinterest boards)? I would have to say K-dramas are my biggest inspiration. The romantic ones always hit me right in the feels and I hope that my books can do that as well. While I don’t listen to music while I write, I do listen while I read. I create playlists for all my books you can find them here: https://open.spotify.com/user/zkv0r49bhw5x9n93j4ngxkjmf Anything else you’d like to share about your book? FAN SERVICE is the second book in The Idolized Series. The plan is to have one book per member, totaling six. I really hope you enjoy reading and also possibly learning. Thank you! Favorites: Favorite book in your preteen years? The books that made me really fall in love with reading was a series Avon Teen did of historical romances. I still have all of them on my bookshelf today. Favorite book now? Any series by Ana Huang. The Dirty Air Series by Lauren Asher. The Pit Stop Series but Bridget L. Rose. (I have become an avid F1 romance reader to the point I am working on my own F1 book.) Favorite actor/actress? Oh man I don’t know if I can pick just one! My current fav is Byun Woo Seok Movie and/or TV show? All time fav movie is Stand By Me. Current favorite TV show is Lovely Runner. Singer? Stray Kids Where can we find more about you and your books online?

Blurb: Cecily has always had a huge crush on singer Andrew Holiday and she wants to be an actress, so she tags along when her friend auditions for his new video. However, the director isn’t looking for an actress, but rather the girl next door—and so is Andrew. Cecily gets a part in the video and all of Andrew’s attention on the set. Her friend begins to see red and Cecily’s boyfriend is seeing green—as in major jealousy. A misunderstanding leaves Cecily and her boyfriend on the outs and Andrew hopes to pick up the pieces as he’s looking for someone more stable in his life than the models he’s dated. Soon Cecily begins to realize Andrew understands her more than her small-town boyfriend—but can her perfect love match really be her favorite rock star? Excerpt: Andrew sat back and nodded. “Well, the music video director just got the song, you know? He understood what I was looking for—a relationship where two people understand each other on a spiritual level. You know, where their souls connect. Make sense?” “Yeah, is that what you have with your girlfriend?” I asked hoping it didn’t look like I as phishing for info on who he was dating. He shook his head. “Nah, I’ve never had anything like that before. But it’s the ultimate idea though, you know? How about you?” “No, never,” I said and then I felt guilt wash over me. “I mean, I’ve had deep connections with people—just not what you’re talking about or what Dimitri said—the whole deep mystical thing.” Andrew stared at me and I felt like he was looking into my soul. “Sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to get that connection with anybody. Or you think you’re halfway there and they say they get you, but then something happens and you know they weren’t as deep into it as you were—or at least as deep as you were hoping. That’s the inspiration for next song I’m working on. It’s about when you want to believe so badly that you have a soul connection, then something happens and you realize it was just another superficial relationship. That’s the title: Just Another Superficial Relationship.” “Wow, I can’t wait to hear it.” “I can sing you the chorus if you want,” he said. Holding my breath, I tried to be cool and not squeal with delight that my favorite singer was about to not only sing for me, but let me hear an unreleased song. This was like a dream come true and it made me question if I hadn’t indeed fallen into the water and hit my head on some rocks, and was now either dreaming this in a coma somewhere or this was my own personal version of heaven. I felt guilty for inwardly gushing over Andrew when I had a boyfriend. But this wasn’t about me being interested in going out with Andrew. It would never happen anyway. This was just me meeting my crush who happened to be a singer, who I felt understood my feelings more than anyone else. Andrew sang the chorus and a warmth washed over me. The song was perfect—the yearning, the longing—I had experienced all of it myself. It was like he had taken all my innermost thoughts and somehow put them into words. “Amazing,” I said. My whole body was warm as my mind raced. Was I actually sitting here with him and having him trust me enough to share a new song? This was beyond anything I had dreamt of happening today. What people are saying about Can Dreams Come True: "Can Dreams Really Come True?” is a wonderful novel for those who love cute, adorable romances. With elements of romantic comedy and teen drama, it’s a well-balanced story that will leave listeners feeling good throughout!" -InD'tale Magazine “Heart Warming, Fun, Sweet Contemporary Romance!
