I'm a Risk Taker


You can find my latest Sweet Romance, Her Handyman, on Amazon at: http://amzn.com/B0097EVXBK


As an author, I'm a risk taker. Sure, writing seems pretty tame, sitting at home at my desk, typing at my computer.

The scary part is when I let loose something I've worked so hard on to create.Will readers like it? That's the big question.

So far, I'm happy to say they do. I now have 12 reviews for Her Handyman, my new contemporary romance, and 11 of them are positive. Since not every reader has the same taste as I do, I'm not too concerned about one stray.

Today, I'm sharing some snippets from my reviews, with review links, also reviewer links. These reviewers really have a way with words, and some fun handles!

"the ingredients for a frothy concoction of boy-meets-girl romance,"says Jeep

"Morgan Mandel delivers on the happily ever after!" says Muddy Rose Reviews

"This book conveys the message that being yourself, being honest and not rushing to judgments about people will allow you the happiness you deserve," says Philip Nork

  1. I really liked Her Handyman. I read - a lot and more and more I feel like I'm reading the same book. Her Handyman had some different characters and an unusual plot. Very enjoyable read.

    1. Thanks so much, Carlene. I'm glad you enjoyed Her Handyman. I did try to make it different, because I get very bored with some books also.

  3. We're all risk-takers, aren't we? At least as soon as we put our books out there. I know a couple of authors who write but hoard their ms like they were gold. These people are terrified of allowing other to see, and maybe even to criticize.
    I'm very pleased and proud of you that you don't obsess over one bad rating. The others makes it appear petty and downright silly. If only she knew.

    1. I was so busy when that review came in I didn't have time to obsess over it. I did check her other reviews, and noticed she was not very kind to two other people out of I believe maybe 8 reviews she did.

      Can't please everyone, but hope to please most people!

    1. I found the stock photos at Dreamstime.com and then sent them to my cover designer, Stephen Walker of SR Walker Designs, who also suggested a brick background, which I picked out. He put it all together fantastically. He's very reasonable. I could not have done it myself!
