So, what's the book about? Here's the info:

For fans of Tessa Bailey and Hannah Grace, Cinematic Destinies is a feel-good, contemporary romance about a trio of adult children searching for love and beauty in the shadow of their parents’ legendary Hollywood fairy-tale romance.

Legendary actor Finn Forrester and his wife philosopher Ella Sinclair Forrester met on the location shoot for Jean Mercier’s film Celebration. The world has been captivated by their fairy-tale romance since Finn famously proposed on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. As the couple now prepares to celebrate their thirtieth wedding anniversary, they wonder if their children will ever find love.

Eldest daughter Betty is excelling in a medical residency program in New York City—and has convinced herself that distancing herself from emotions is the path to success. Youngest son Albert, a recent college graduate, is trying to find his footing in Boston as he struggles with his identity. Free-spirited Georgia, her mother’s spitting image and an actress following in her father’s footsteps, has been cast in Jean Mercier’s final film, mysteriously titled Beauty. When she arrives on set in Iceland and meets her costar, sparks fly. Is history repeating itself? How has growing up in the shadow of the world’s most iconic love story affected each of the Forrester children?

So, What's Up?

So, what's up with me? I'm writing a second-chance romance tentatively titled The Second Time Around. My couple in this one were married, with a pre-teen son. (Oh, and I just realized his mother was the only person who wanted them divorced.). Angie was never good enough for her son. I'm at the halfway point now. I have a few scenes foreshadowed, so I have enough things happening for the next couple of chapters. This is usually the place where I get writer's block. Here is the last thing I wrote yesterday. (Of course, this is a first draft and I'm still working on this scene. So beware!) “Not as loud as mine and Matt’s.” Gail glanced over at the desk. “It only got worse when he started playing in college.” “Oh, I remember that.” Drew laughed, grinning like the boy he used to be. “And I can’t wait to do the same to Jeff and Kelly.” Laughter rang out, bringing back the past.
