How Season of Us Came to Be Written, Part 1

I wrote Season of Us at the challenge of a friend.

I had been (and still am) working on something I refer to as: The Project of Forever. I also had a separate shorter piece I was working on that became the Project of Forever #2. I was banging my head against the wall with both projects.

So when the challenge came, I was ready to try something new. I’ve always wanted to write contemporary romance. The first novel I ever attempted was romance. Actually, that’s not completely true. I tried to write a book when I was a kid. It was about a girl with horses. (Of course.)

November was coming. I had a vague idea. I knew Zach would be a professional soccer player and Shelly would be someone older and a little more stable. I had a couple of ideas for scenes and I mapped out a couple of key moments.

When November 1st came, I went for it.

The goal for NaNoWriMo is 50K words. My goal was 40K because I decided, “I’m not crazy.” I managed to do 44K and had a beginning, middle and end.

I considered this a success.

Then I put it away and went back to flogging on The Project of Forever.

The October Update

This action cat is Noah. He lives next door.

I’ve been *this* close to an update for weeks now. I don’t understand how a person with such a dull life could be so busy during such a short time. Family. Friends. Fun events. I have posts half-written and photos to share.

We’re getting close. The manuscript is done. I’m in the process of turning it into a book and getting everything else rolling.

I think next weekend it will all come together.

Debut Novel Coming Out SOON!

Because my technical skills match my wine expertise (I know enough to sound like I know what I’m doing, without really knowing what I’m doing) it has taken me all morning to get this far and now I need to be off and doing other things.

This will all be updated soon. Meanwhile, what you need to know is this: my first romance novel: Season of Us will be coming out probably at the beginning of November 2015. I have free copies for review.

If you managed to find me here (yeah, how did you find me?),  contact me at pam at pamelasanderson.com for a review copy. I have sticker/bookmarks, too, if don’t mind sending me a snail mail address. Don’t worry, I will not collect that for any purpose. Once the sticker/bookmark is gone, I will erase your snail mail from all memory.

The book is a contemporary with humor. There’s a dog. The dude is professional soccer player. The heroine is a terrific and talented lady with a tragic past.
