I used to imagine what it would be like to live on a deserted island. How would I survive? This is a product of those daydreams.
I originally won a contest for a book cover and a contract to have my book published. I felt wonderful. Like I was finally getting somewhere with my writing. Getting that first contract is the greatest feeling in the world.
The ending of this book was inspired by my comments to a friend that modern pirates aren't romantic or sexy and are probably mean, dirty, and nasty.
Windswept Shores (Book One)
Blurb: The sole survivor of a plane crash, Megan is alone on a deserted island in the Bahamas. Then she finds a nearly-drowned man. Another survivor, this time from a boat wreck.
With only meager survival skills between them, will they survive these windswept shores and can they find love?

Two years later I published the second and last book in this series. We find out if my couple ever makes it off the island, and met some of Megan's and then Seth's family.
I had a problem writing the second book. I didn't have writer block then...It kept disappearing off my harddrive.
Just ~poof~ vanished.
My sweet husband bought me an external hard drive to keep this from happening again. I wish I could say that worked ... but I ended up rewriting this same book at least one more time with a total of three times from scratch.
Thankfully I have a good memory.
It's published now so that shouldn't happen again. *fingers crossed*
