It helped me to write across genres--nonfiction, fiction, magazine articles--to hone my skills. Critique groups and professional organizations for romance and mystery writers are also excellent for learning the business and receiving feedback. Finally, if you can't find an agent or publisher, consider self-publishing and create your own success story--my good track record with an indie title gained the attention of an agent and publisher.(less)

Sea Breeze Cocktail Recipe In Seabreeze Library

Sea Breeze Cocktail RecipeOne of my most requested recipes is one that my friend Aly from New Zealand often whips up in honor of blazing sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. In fact, this recipe inspired the name of the Seabreeze Inn novel, and in the series, sisters Ivy and Shelly Bay are often found mixing � virgin or fully loaded, as we say. Whichever your preference, these yummy, colorful juice cocktails
