So, I’ve had a bit of a rough patch for the last few months. My father passed away in November last year, and that put a stint into my writing schedule. I can’t even explain how hard it is to lose a parent, let alone all the arrangements, paper work, etc. that have to be dealt with. I was literally in the middle of my NaNo project, the fabulous supernatural romance I’d been speaking about writing. And well, after Daddy was gone, it killed my momentum for the project at the time.

I spent some months going through the grieving process, which I still am. But writing has always been a therapy for me and my Dad did support and love my writing career. So, I found a project that had been put to the side for awhile, the sequel to “Thankful In Vegas” and began to work on it and finished it. It helped to work on another project and get it to the published stage. So, I have dedicated it to my father. He would be so proud I’m soldiering on and still writing.

So, with that behind the scenes story of it becoming published, here is the blurb to get you interested. Plus, you don’t have to read the first story to understand, but it will add to the experience to begin with “Thankful In Vegas”. I’ve added the link to it below.

***Thank you for all of the support over the last few months. Fans, friends and extended family. It’s been a rough winter. -Marilyn

Is dating a gambler in Vegas a good idea?

Fran has fallen hard for a Las Vegas gambler, Dex Luxom. But he’s also her boss. That doesn’t stop the passionate love affair happening between them. What started as a job opportunity has sprung into a full-blown affair. But when Fran finds out she looks like his dead wife, will it put a damper on their relationship? Or will the bullets flying past her when they are taking a romantic day trip make her rethink dating a gambler was a good idea? It all comes down to the New Year’s event that may split them up or bring them closer together.
