Writing steamy scenes.⁠ ⁠ I really enjoy reading steamy books. Occasionally, I will stumble upon a "clean" book and I will read through it, but I am disappointed if it doesn't have a lot of heat.⁠ ⁠ However, I dislike the insta love and insta lust stories. I love to make my characters work for sex and eventually HEA. I love to make my characters work for everything. They usually go through hell and high water before they get their HEA. ⁠ ⁠ Here's what one reviewer said about a Deal with the Earl: "The whole story had me on edge wondering what else could go wrong." -- And I love this review because indeed, the poor characters barely got to squeeze in a fresh breath of air before something else went wrong.⁠ ⁠ In my initial draft more things went askew, but I took pity.⁠ ⁠ Having said that, there's a very light hearted story coming out in a few months. If you enjoyed Evie from "A Deal with the Earl" you'd be delighted to find out that her book is coming out in June! (Don't worry, I'll make her work for her HEA too)⁠ ⁠ #sadiebosque #ADealwiththeEarl #AbargainwiththeRake #historicalromance #steamyread #slowburn

One of the first tropes in Historical Romance genre I've read was the Marriage of Convenience. And it was a love at first read.⁠ ⁠ I love marriage of convenience tropes and I enjoy writing them even more. There can never be too many books with this trope, right?⁠ ⁠ I also enjoy angst and slow-burn romance. So.... my book has it all.⁠ ⁠ QOTD: What is your favorite trope?⁠ ⁠ #ADealwiththeEarl #sadiebosque

I think other authors will understand this: After I hit publish on my book I go through a long withdrawal process where I don't want to look at my book or even think of it for a long time. So marketing it is a really tough gig.⁠ ⁠ Anyway, I am an author spotlight in one group on facebook this week, and I got contacted by them and asked to provide them with my advertising materials: excerpts, teasers, graphics and all that. And I realized, to my shame, that I didn't have any of those things lol. ⁠ ⁠ So I went ahead and created some graphics and that is why next week will be "A Deal with the Earl week."⁠ ⁠ Another reason this week will be dedicated to this book, is because today, March 21st is the World Down Syndrome Day. How does it relate? Well, if you've read my book then you know that I have a character with Down Syndrome and it was really important to me to get her right.⁠ ⁠ I volunteer at a center for people with disabilities and special needs and I have a few friends who have Down Syndrome. However, getting it right historically and not offending people was a fine line to walk. I hope I accomplished it, if not, at least I tried my best.⁠ ⁠ I love Mary's character and I had fun writing her, getting into her head.⁠ I think she was one of my most favorite characters to write.⁠ ⁠ Anyway, please, spend this day spreading the word about people with Down Syndrome or donating to a local charity.⁠ ⁠ #ADealwiththeEarl #sadiebosque⁠ #historicalromanceauthor #historicalromance #regencyromance #worlddownsyndromeday

QOTD: How is your weekend progressing? Have you been doing anything fun? I have too much on my plate, but I’ve been taking a break to work on some covers... Some of you may know, I make my my own covers. I enjoy it so much that I already made 5 covers for my upcoming series. Those books haven’t been written yet lol. However, I have a book 3 of my Necessary Arrangements series in the works and that I do not have a cover for. I scoured the stock photos for inspiration but have found none that I liked. And that’s when I came across HER. This model is exactly what I’ve always pictured Evie to look like. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a picture appropriate for my cover. But if I could pick a model, I’d pick her. ? what do you think? If you’ve read A Deal with the Earl, is it how you’ve pictured Evie, or not?

Took a break from working on some last edits before I send my novel off to beta readers, and decided to make a short teaser. I am excited about this novel, as well as nervous and anxious. What can you expect from it? ? A scarred hero ? A feisty heroine ? A supportive family ? A strong female friendship ? A thorny path to an HEA A fun fact. Even though it is a second book of Necessary Arrangement series, I wrote first draft of this novel before I ever started working on A Deal with the Earl. Why? ??‍♀️ Inspiration struck that way lol. An Agreement with the Soldier releases on April 13th. Currently available for pre-order.
