AUTHOR MICHELLE LIBBY SASSY, ROMANTIC ADVENTURES

The month of love and goals

Maybe 2020 will be my year of getting goals done. I'm trying to kick butt to finish all of the writing projects that I've been putting off for YEARS. As I write this I"m at a writer's retreat in Rhode Island.
I hope everyone is well into what you're goals are for the new year. I've set goals and am meeting them. The Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island - an adult coloring book is almost complete. The paperback will be available on Amazon by mid-February. Paperbacks of Two if by Sea and Breaking the Story are available this week.
February is a writing challenge in one of my romance groups. We are supposed to write 30,000 words this month. I'm hoping to get close to that while working on my Life with the Badge book. If you haven't dropped by my blog, www.lifewiththebadge.com yet, check it out. I'm there sharing my insights into being the wife of a cop. Oh, boy. The next post should be controversial. How do you feel about guns?
So the non-fiction book is a collection of stories and challenges from our 25 years as a police family. So my goal is to get that book written or at least have a rough draft before we go on vacation at the end of the month.
February is the month of love. People turn on the romance for their significant other. We usually treat it as another day in the calendar. I never want him to spend money or candy or flower. Roses for over $100....price gouging anyone? Buy me some plants for the summer garden...that would bring joy to my heart.
What do you do for the Valentine's holiday? Do you go for the chocolate covered strawberries? Candy? Jewelry? Flowers?
Until next month, let's focus on our goals and the love in our lives.

Breaking the story

Everyone wants something from the editor of the Serenity Harbor Gazette Erin Ridge. Lucky for her this time it’s the hot firefighters in town. However, they are incredibly busy with a large number of fires in the island. Despite that she finds time to meet with hunky firefighter Seth Greenway for all of the details of the fires and the firefighters.
Seth knows he’s being set up with the darling of Serenity Harbor when he’s asked to be the subject of a story on the fire department. He can’t help but want to get to know Erin as long as they can keep things professional. Hurting her would mean being blackballed from the department, but saving her life becomes a daily habit and he finds himself being drawn to her magnetic personality.
When Erin accuses someone Seth knows of setting all of the fires in town, trouble brews between the couple. She is determined to break the story without Seth’s support, causing a rift between them. Erin wants to do what’s right and Seth has to determine what is more important, the firefighter brotherhood or love.
