I think there are different reasons for every author, but if you'll take a quick jog with me over to Originality by Design, you can read the story that made me sit up and decide it was time to start pushing toward living my dream of becoming a published author.<br />

That story was a Christian Fiction Challenge Editor's Choice winner called <i>Unwanted </i>and you can read it on the ObD blog by clicking the cover below or following this link: <a href="https://originalitybydesign.blogspot.com/2019/12/unwanted-by-linda-boulanger.html">https://originalitybydesign.blogspot.com/2019/12/unwanted-by-linda-boulanger.html</a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm pleased to announce that my little short story, <em>A Future Full of Love </em>has been included in the <em>Kaleidoscope Hearts</em> multi-author anthology. Take a chance and fall in love with these eight stories. <em>A Future Full of Love</em> opens the door to my <em>Wings and Whispers Love Stories</em> and begins the journey to find out if the love of an ice dragon will be enough to warm the heart of a summer fairy who loathes the cold. The entire book is FREE for a limited time in all venues except Amazon. We're trying to get that changed, so be sure to check there or just grab it from one of the others. </div>

In some ways, book covers are like clothing for the story. They wrap the words in a way that, hopefully, gives the reader a glimpse of what they will find inside. After a recent model scandal, I chose to rework the covers for two of my novels: <i>Dance with the Enemy</i>, and <i>Beyond the Shadows</i>. Both from my Land of Riandus series. I was truly saddened to have to change the covers. I felt the originals were perfect, reflecting my characters. Thanks to <a href="https://www.periodimages.com/" target="_blank">Period Images</a>, I was able to find replacement images that, to my surprise, I believe I love even more. Now I'm anxious to see what everyone else thinks!</div>

And my Members Page, with links to my posts there and also my books, is: <a href="https://originalitybydesign.blogspot.com/p/linda.html">https://originalitybydesign.blogspot.com/p/linda.html.</a> I will be alternating between posting as an author and as a cover designer. I think it will be a lot of fun. So far, I've written posts about the cover design process, a story vignette from one of my dragon families, and asked the question: why do we love dragons? Hope you'll check it out!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The company was created from the passion and desire of its owner, Tami Adams, because of her experiences as an author. From her struggles to have her books viewed and appreciated she knew there had to be another way.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

Three years later Tami no longer writes but is determined to show the world the magic that lies within the pages of all books.<br />

<i>The last three years have been an incredible journey. I've made so many friends who began as bloggers, readers, and authors. I have been privileged to present and showcase new and old books from seasoned and new authors. I've learned so much I didn't even realize I should know prior to getting into this business. And after three years I can honestly say I'm still learning, I'm still growing, and I'm still making friends. I love and appreciate all of you who have supported my little slice of heaven.

Lady Louissa Adair was raised by her uncle to be anything but a lady, spending hours scrubbing the decks of his ill begotten ships. Now, he has tasked her with a more deadly task. If she refuses, any hope of finding her long-lost and possibly dead brother will be lost while her uncle moves up his timeline to marry her off to a most dastardly man. While doing her uncle’s bidding, a blasted Englishman running around Scotland sets upon being her champion – not that Louissa has ever needed one. If he doesn’t get them both killed, and she might just kill the fool herself, she faces an even bigger danger – losing her heart.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lord Clive Colcord, Earl of Breakerton, had escaped to Scotland in an attempt to avoid scrutiny by his late father’s solicitors. It had been a quiet, if not boring rustication until he finds himself tasked by the local magistrate with apprehending the highwayman menacing the North Road. He doesn’t expect to discover a beguiling dark-haired beauty with more dangerous men in her life than Clive has sisters. Yet he finds himself offering aid in an attempt to protect this damsel in distress. He must help Louissa find the proof of her uncle’s crimes and find her brother before she is forced into marriage all the while not losing his own heart in the process.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After making a wager of marriage to settle her father's gambling debts, Ella Bowen-Thorn Renwick escaped the husband she foolishly began to fall for and disappeared into the Scottish countryside carrying a secret. Four years later, and the owner of her own bakery, she is still not free of the demands of men when a violent and anonymous blackmailer threatens her, her livelihood...and her daughter. And then, there is him...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viscount Renwick still mourns the wife he began to love before her untimely death--that is until he discovers her alive and well living in Scotland. Now, Devon's face to face with the wife he thought he'd buried and the daughter he never knew existed. He'd like nothing more than to welcome Ella back into his arms, but mysterious and troubling incidents and a history with an unloving father have Ella trusting no one.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, if Renwick convinces his wife he's the husband she always dreamed of and the father their daughter deserves, will the scandalous secret the blackmailer is holding threaten their future together once more?<br />

Amileigh McCollum isn’t your typical Medieval Lady. She's always known there's something special about her. She just isn't sure what. The day she rides beyond her father's gates alongside a man who isn't her husband, she’ll learn that destiny is about to find her.<br />

I'm feeling a bit like Professor Hinkle in <i>Frosty the Snowman</i> these days when he says "I've got to get busy writing - busy, busy, busy!" Actually, I <i>have </i>been busy writing and am getting ready to start releasing those books, which sets the stage for equally busy times.</div>

On <i>Wings of Time</i> will be released as an eBook on its own for the first time on Oct. 12, 2017. The <i>short </i>on the book is: Take one modern-day dragon shifter who has no idea he’s anything but a mere
man, add an innocent maiden from 600 years in the past, spin the hands of time,
and watch the sparks fly! The book is receiving great response from those who read the ARC or were able to pick it up as part of the Stoking the Flames box set.</div>

I am honored to be included with Darlene Kuncytes, Andi Lawrencovna, Virginia McKevitt, Lisa K. Miller, Julia Mills, and C.b. Roberts in an extraordinary writing project titled <i>The Fountain</i>. It's an anthology and the premise behind it is that seven different people make a wish at the same dragon fountain.
Other than the opening sentence, the stories can be about anything,
anytime, anywhere. Inside this anthology, you’ll find fantasy,
historical, contemporary, paranormal, romance, time travel... seven
different stories, all starting at the same fountain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

You can go ahead and join in the fun and giveaways as we begin to
introduce the world to the seven of us at The Release Event for The

These books are also a bit steamier than what I've written in the past, and yet, beyond the time travel, beyond the love scenes, even beyond the dragon shifter elements, it's 100% about "the story" ... it's their story -- In the case of On Wings of Fire, it's Will Tavish and Brinna Bouchanan's story, and they crossed 200 years to be together. Hopefully, it won't take me 200 years to take them to their happily ever after. It won't. I have a new deadline for On Wings of Fire, and another 15,000-20,000 word story with a firm deadline of July 1 to finish. Yes, I'm hearing the crack of the whip, so I have to run!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since my birthday is in February, I wanted to add to my monthly giveaway that I do for new and current subscribers of my New Releases and Promo Information Only newsletter. I'll admit, writing on a new dragon shifter story has made me way more aware of all the amazing dragon goodies around, so when I saw this adorable sparkly pink dragon, I just couldn't resist. I decided he (she?) was the perfect giveaway prize. And to make it even more special, I'm also including a beautiful snowflake ornament, a double
dragon metal bookmark, a truly unique pink dragon key ring (also has a
purse/belt clip on it), a <em>Beyond the Shadows </em>chocolate
spoon and pink strawberry lip gloss made by Kelli's Kollectibles, a $20 Amazon Gift Card, and ebook
copies of five of my books.</span></span></div>

extra bonus entries, there are other things you can do, and you'll find those on the page that you are linked to either once you sign up for my newsletter (new subscribers) or in the current newsletter that went out on the 1st (current subscribers).</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Six hundred years lay between the man with a dragon’s
soul and the only woman who could unlock his powers. When an impossible
encounter hurls them through time, he has six days to not only prepare
for the battle on the horizon, but to win her heart. Fate’s carefully
woven web is about to be tested by will, a kiss, and the flip of a coin.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">On Wings of Time is the first book to be released in my new series: The Lochlainn Guardians. Who are these guardians? They are men of valor infused with the essence of the noble dragons of Kedan. Their one goal: </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">to protect the people from a fate worse than death – their enslavement by the Dubhagan</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">–</span></span>the dark dragons who wanted to rule and were determined to stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Unfortunately, the Dubhagan had driven the Kedan Dragons to the point of extinction and now Fate was having to step in to bring together the last of the Guardians and their mates</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">–</span></span></span></span>the women who could unlock their powers</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">–</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
otherwise the Kedan Dragons would be lost, leaving the world at the
mercy of the Dubhagan. The only problem… they were scattered throughout
time.</span> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I hope you like that premise. Each book will be a complete story with the hero and heroine getting their Happily Ever After, though there will be an unanswered thread that weaves through the entire series, being answered bit by bit as we go along, until the very end. So, no cliff hangers, but a single tidbit to hopefully pull you into the next story. </span></span></div>

At my "day job" I get to create book covers, and one of the authors I work with is <a href="http://www.juliamillsauthor.com/" target="_blank">Julia Mills</a>.

You'll definitely want to check her out and I can't think of a better way than to join her on Sept. 20 over on Facebook for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/528270190710534/" target="_blank">Release Party of <i>Roman: Fury of Her King</i></a>. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
My novel, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Enemy-Riandus-Linda-Boulanger-ebook/dp/B00DK3AN5G" target="_blank"><i>Dance with the Enemy</i></a>, is currently $0.99 over on Amazon. <b>But that's not what this post is about</b>. Today, when I logged in on Facebook, it had a memory at the top like it often does. This particular memory had to do with a certain short story I'd written for a writer's blog called <b><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.cleverfiction.com/writing-challenge" target="_blank">Clever Fiction</a></span></b>. What is that, you ask? It's <b>a blog that offers a prompt-based challenge</b>. Currently, you post the story on your own blog and let them know. They then put up a link to your story on their blog to help push traffic your way. It's a great idea and, <b>without them, I may never have written that first story </b>that has now led to 2.3 novels (Book 3 is in the works), a couple of novelettes, and more understanding about positioning myself as an author. Has it allowed me to quit my day job? No, but <b>it may just inspire you and give you that little push</b>, like it did for me. Participating in the challenges helped me to not only "create product", but to also get into the habit of setting aside writing time. It also increased my exposure as more people saw and read my work. </div>

So, whether you're a reader looking for something new to read, or a writer looking for inspiration, be sure to check out <b><a href="http://www.cleverfiction.com/writing-challenge" target="_blank">Clever Fiction</a></b>. <b>The current challenge -- Sailboat - Cove - Goldmine</b> -- should be completed by Friday, Sept. 30. A new challenge will be posted sometime after that. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
An amazing journey begins with a first step, just like a single word on a page can be the beginnings of a whole, new fictional world. Read. Write. Enjoy!</div>

This is the story of Redahn, the brother of Tahruk from Dance With the Enemy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In a time when men fought for their king, protected him and their families with might and sword, Redahn Sharanis questions his self-worth after losing strength in his arm due to a battle injury and botched surgery. He grows hard, maintaining a facade of bitterness and cynicism that only begins to chip away after he meets a woman at the annual gathering of the maidens who is smothered by her own shadows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Eighteen year old Mahryn's innocence is tarnished by the baggage of her past and now she's been thrown into the pool of beautiful maidens, whose sole purpose is to provide pleasure to the King's warriors. Knowing she was sent by her father when he could have made a good match for her opens a floodgate of questionable memories from her past. And if that wasn't enough, she manages to attract the attention of a man fighting his own battles-- a warrior who had been second only to his older brother, the King's finest, before he was wounded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But there's more to both of them. Lord Redahn is fiercely loyal and bound by his own code of honor... traits that Mahryn's presence brings out. She's stronger than any woman Redahn has ever known, which comes to light when her true past is exposed. Together they begin to help one another fit the puzzle pieces of their lives back into their right places, though the picture that results isn't something everyone wants to see.</span></div>

I am pleased to announce that the <i>Dance With The Enemy</i> kindle version has been revamped inside and out with a slightly changed cover and a bit of additional editing. The story remains the same, though the writing is more concise. If you have already purchased this story, please note that I have requested an update for you from Amazon, though it's at their discretion as to whether they will provide the update.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More good news... <i>Beyond The Shadows</i>, the story of the rather rebellious brother from <i>Dance With The Enemy</i> is fully written. I'm on my third pass through before I send it off to my beta readers. Everyone who writes to me after reading <i>Enemy</i> tells me they can't wait for Redahn's story. There's a bit of Tahruk and Elenya in the new book as well, however, the story is definitely about Redahn and Mahryn. It's been rather fun writing him meeting his match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My website address has also changed due to an unfortunate debacle, though I rather like the new name. It fits: <b>LindaBoulangerBooks.com</b>. I hope to share some of my cover design information there as well, so I find that more encompassing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Arms of an Angel</i> is being re-released with a new cover and revamped interior as well, so be on the lookout for that. And FINALLY, <i>Marriage of Necessity</i> is well under way to finalization (basically, it's getting tweaked), and not only is <i>Temptation's Whisper</i> partially written (the 3rd book in the Land of Riandus Series -- about Tahruk and Redahn's cousin, King Garrick, and the lovely Christiana), but I have several more in various stages. I may finally be getting the hang of this writing stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll leave you today with a couple of teasers from <i>Dance With The Enemy</i> and <i>Beyond The Shadows</i>. Enjoy!</div>

I was invited by my bestie to participate in a blog tour
that has authors answering four simple questions to give others a glimpse into
our writerly world. Before I answer the questions though, I want to introduce
you to my bestie who writes under the pen name of <a href="http://www.jaimeygrant.com/" target="_blank">Jaimey Grant</a>. Jaimey, aka
Laura J. Miller – cover designer extraordinaire -- writes absolutely fantastic
Regency Romances with a darker edge. I wasn’t 100% sold on stepping back into
reading the Historical Romance genre after moving on to more Contemporary work, until I read one of her books. Now I
can’t wait for her to release another one (and I get to read them before anyone
else!!!). You can find out more about Jaimey and her writing at <a href="http://www.jaimeygrant.com/">www.JaimeyGrant.com</a>. And be sure to visit
her cover design site as well: <a href="http://www.anauthorsart.com/">http://www.anauthorsart.com/</a>.
If I didn’t design my own covers, she’d be doing them. Wait! She did design my
<i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Arms-Angel-Linda-Boulanger-ebook/dp/B004J4VW78" target="_blank">Arms of an Angel</a></i> cover! She and our mutual friend, <a href="http://rachel-rossano.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rachel Rossano</a>, are my go-to
gals to help me fine-tune everything I do, whether it’s a book cover or my
words.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And now, on we go to answering those four questions that
will give you some insight into the work behind the words…</div>

Series</i>. Every book in this series will stand alone, even though they’ll be
enjoyed best by reading them all. <span style="background: white;">In <i>Beyond the Shadows</i>, the daughter of the
King’s right hand man finds herself falling for a roguish "broken"

enough, I wanted to kill the hero of <i>Beyond

was one of those hate-to-love characters that needed his own story. He’s a mega
pushy, hot jerk with a single soft spot: Mahryn.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I enjoy reading stories that are steamy without being graphic to the point I almost blush. They're not always easy to find, but that's what I like and that's what I write. Tension is a must, and I get
somewhat descriptive, but if you want “pink”, you’re not going to find it in
what I’ve written so far. I call it Love With the Lights Off … you know exactly
what’s going on, but you just don’t get every gritty detail. Hopefully, that
explains it. Another way my work differs is that the story comes first, with the romance happening as part of the story. They're 100% romance stories, because I'm hopelessly in love with the idea of love, but you're going to get a story that pulls you in and gets you involved in their lives first and foremost. </div>

<b><i><u><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">3. Why do I write what I write?</span></u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I write what I write because the characters in my head are
outrageously demanding and want their stories told. lol. Actually, I write what
I love to read. I adore happy endings but want a story that pulls at my
heartstrings and provides emotional highs and lows along the way.</div>

<u><i><b><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">4. How does my writing process work?</span></b></i></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ideas first. I’m always getting these ideas and scene bursts
in my head. They can come from anywhere … a song on the radio, something
someone says, an image on a billboard … anywhere. That will usually lead to
characters beginning to form, at which point I will try to pin them with a name
that fits their emerging personalities, as well as ironing out the details of
how they look (long, red hair that curls vs shoulder length, straight blond.
Blue eyes vs green, etc.). Since I’m also a cover designer, I may head out to
the stock image sites to see if I can find an image to go along with the
character in my head. On occasion, that will change my character’s description
(like in <i>Dance With The Enemy </i>–
Elenya started with straight, black hair and Tahruk had sun-bleached blond.
Then I stumbled across an image of models Jimmy Thomas and Virginia Petrucci.
When I saw it, I KNEW they were my characters. They were perfect!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
While all that is going on, the story is forming in my head.
I almost always get the beginning and the end and then connect them. There’s
usually some major “crisis” that tries to hide from me and I have to figure
that out. I’m not overly into outlines, but do know somewhat where I’m going as
I write. However, I have had the characters take over a story before, and it
ends up surprising me (like Tahruk’s brother!). I kind of like when that
happens. It’s like reading someone else’s book.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I probably write slower than most. That’s partly the fault
of other authors, which I say with a huge smile on my face because I get to be
part of the team of so many authors through <a href="http://telltalebookcovers.weebly.com/" target="_blank">cover designing</a> and occasional
interior layout of their books. It’s a rewarding profession that goes well beyond
the paycheck.</div>

Now it’s my turn to tag additional authors to keep the tour
going. Their articles will be posted on April 14, so be sure to save the dates
and visit them to hear about their writing process. I’ll tag…</div>

Shawn is another writer friend I met when he entered the
publishing scene and decided to make me a part of his team. Three novels, a couple of novelettes, and numerous short stories later, he’s still pumping out absolutely awesome
stories that grab you by the heart whether they’re love stories or not. I’d say
that’s because Shawn writes from the heart.
