What I'm Reading

Well, I have done it. I have finally caught up to Marie Force and read the latest McCarthy book to hit the downloads. Falling for Love has Grant McCarthy stranded on the island with an unexpected love interest thanks to a raging tropical storm. And the storm isn't the only thing that's raging. In Falling we meet a few new characters and get to know a few recurring folks a little bit more. Definitely more fodder for future books! I think Evan's book is next, and I can't wait. Oh, the withdrawal!

Back to Gansett I go for book 3 in the series: Ready for Love. I love this island series by Marie Force. I have been so inspired by Marie's hard work and the stories she tells. This was another cant-put-down book, and it is hard to fight to urge to want to rush through to the end to see what happens!

Marie Force knows romance! I just finished book 2 in her McCarthys of Gansett Island series, Fool for Love, which is Joe and Janey's story. I just loved it. Marie has such a great talent for introducing secondary characters, and weaving all the story threads in such a way that you not only get the happy, satisfying ending for the hero and heroine, but the ending leaves you wanting more and seeing what's next. Can't wait for book 3 - Luke and Sydney's story. Her books make me wish Gansett wasn't a fictional place!

In keeping with my new Kindle love, I have also been keeping with reading books by my successful self-published friend, Marie Force. We have talked so often of the McCarthys of Gansett Island that I was very eager to get started on the first in the series, Maid for Love. And yes, I was hooked, and yes I have read them all much more quickly than I would have liked. As with any great series of books readers can make their way through them much faster than the author can write them. The McCarthys are no exception. You'll see in my next few entries that I have all the released McCarthy books read and archived in my Kindle. Hooray for Mac and Maddie. Up next: Janey and Joe.

My Kindle has me thinking all things Marie Force these days, so my next ebook was none other than The Fall. Loved it! The excerpt at the back of True North hooked me right away, and it seemed like the right next book in my Marie progression. Marie makes the writing look so easy, and as I try to start my next new book in this new year, I am reminded how good writing is anything but easy. Marie has worked so hard to create these books and I am so glad I now have the right apparatus on which to read them.

What I'm Reading

The boyfriend got me a Kindle for Christmas and I admit that I have been very slow to come around to this kind of reading experience. But, as more of my friends as well as other authors are opting for the independent publishing route, I am more open to giving the Kindle a try. Needless to say, I was so excited when the boyfriend showed up with a Kindle for me this holiday season. My first Kindle read was written by my friend, Marie Force entitled, True North. And it's funny that around Christmas time a year ago she and I had met for lunch and she mentioned that she had started seriously thinking about putting her work out there on her own. As she has said many times, rejection has been her friend. Without it, she would not have opted to publish her books herself, she would not have amassed as much success, and she would not have gotten so many good books into the hands of her readers . . . who constantly clamor for more. I loved True North (yes, there are readers who want to read about a supermodel looking for love) and am so happy she took the chance and put her work out there in what was, a year ago, a very unconventional distribution method. Now she is one of the leaders on this new frontier and I wish her continued success!
