To celebrate the upcoming release of Lupine: Wanted by Wolves on the 24th August, I am giving away a set of Lupine playing cards.
Head on over to my Facebook Page *✷ＴＯ ＥＮＴＥＲ✷*
This giveaway will close when I hit the ５０ ＰＲＥＯＲＤＥＲＳ milestone! At which point, I will create a new giveaway for the next milestone. At the time of posting this, I have 35 pre-orders, so there's a bit of a way to go before I close this giveaway.
The winner will be chosen at random.
If you haven't already preordered your copy, you can grab yours now on Amazon.
I'd definitely recommend reading LUPINE first. It's currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

Lupine: Wanted by Wolves
My birth started a war that my daughter's birth will end...
Does that even make sense to you?
There is no such thing as a 'normal day' at the Silver Springs Orphanage. In fact, most days are utter chaos between the Creepy Twins giving away all of Lupine's secrets and Edmond constantly running away.
But when Lupine's wolf mafia mates decide to throw her a baby shower she'll never forget, the normally well-managed chaos suddenly erupts and disaster strikes.
The spell protecting Lupine and her unborn pup suddenly stops working and all hell lets loose when the Rossi mafia come looking for her in the small town of Silver Springs.
Lupine: Wanted by Wolves is the sequel to Lupine (Book 3 in the Spell Library Series) and is a paranormal reverse harem romance within the Silver Springs shared universe.
(If you've not read Lupine yet, don't worry it's never too late. It's available on KU - https://amzn.to/3ea8VZN)

They say I'm their princess! Who are they kidding? I'm just Silver Springs Resident Orphan.
Even in Silver Springs, a town full of paranormal abnormalities, Lupine, the town's resident orphan has never felt like she belonged.
Overworked, stressed, hair flying everywhere, Lupine is constantly on the move working with the unique children in the Silver Spring's Orphanage. The Silver Springs human population regularly grumble to her about their parenting challenges.
They have no idea! They should try being responsible for twenty or so paranormal children. The orphanage is pure mayhem. The witches are hiding Lupine's keys, the half-angels keep levitating up to the roof and the shifters are running rogue.
When the mafia come to town, will she finally find her home among the wolves?

In 2018, I started #writing the Kumari's Kitsune #Series, with #book one, Cursed by the Crown and then in February this year, I released #book two, Tainted by Prophecy. The #series is a #Reverse #Harem #Fantasy #Romance. Although if I'm honest, it's kind of hard to define this series with just one #subgenre because there are definite #paranormal themes - #shifter lions - and there are some serious #Asian #language and #folklore #influences. If you haven't already read any of the series, you can find book one on Amazon and other retailers, including the Radish App.
Today, I'd like to #introduce you to one of the key #characters in the #series. Armel is the Kumari's first #mate (she will eventually have seven) and Bae first meets him in the very first few chapters of Cursed by the Crown.
Armel is a Cankurian Prince. He comes from Canku, a tribeland in the south east of the realm, Mahō. Canku is on the edge of the Ocean Kaiyo. The Cankurians live in caves carved into the cliff's front.
As a Cankurian, Armel is a warrior, a protector. Canku is actually a #Chinese #word for Brutality and so it seems a fitting name for the tribeland where the Warrior Ren (#Chinese #Word for People) come from. Find out which tribeland best suits you by completing a quick quiz. Armel is very protective of Bae and just a little bit possessive. When Bae first meets him, she thinks he is very arrogant.
Armel is hot as sin and I can honestly say 'I wouldn't say no." He is definitely one of my favourite #characters and he's a definite #book #boyfriend. He's possessive and powerful and sometimes downright naughty. He's always making a sarcastic joke and he loves making Bae blush.

I wrote the #Fate #Series because I thought it would be super fun to write something a little bit #darker, a little bit #scarier. The Fate Series is about a twenty-something #detective #sergeant at#Fate #Series because I thought it would be super fun to write something a little bit #darker, a little bit #scarier. The Fate Series is about a twenty-something #detective #sergeant at #New #Scotland #Yard.
She's one of those amazingly #strong #independent #female #protagonists that I just love to write about. Georgia has been through the wringer. She's experienced some of the #darkest things imaginable and now in #Inexplicable #Fate she is once more in the hands of a kidnapper. Her life is on the line but she's hell bent on saving herself. She doesn't want to be #rescued.
Detective Sergeant Georgia Kentley is walking right into a trap and she knows it.
That won't stop her. Not when she knows there's a life on the line.
Walker Trent, boyfriend and boss, doesn't understand why she can't just do as she's damn well told and stay put.
With Georgia's life on the line, DCI Trent is coming after her.
Whether she wants rescuing or not, he's on a mission to save her life and destroy anyone trying to hurt her.
She's convinced she doesn't need saving and he's scared that this time he'll be too late.
The #second #book in The Fate #Series, a four book series, Inexplicable Fate follows DS Georgia Kentley as she tries to escape her kidnapper and Walker Trent as he fights to rescue her.
If you love your #romance #dark and filled with #suspense, then this book is definitely for you. Inexplicable Fate is currently available on #Amazon for $2.99 and is enrolled in #Kindle #Unlimited. However, it will soon be available elsewhere including on the #Radish #App.
Inexplicable Fate is part of a #complete #series so you don't have to be patient and wait to find out what happens next. You can either purchase each book individually or soon you will be able to buy them all together in one #boxset.

Flip A Coin
(Organised Crime #1)
Author - Hanleigh Bradley
Release Date - 24th November 2019
Pre-Order Price - $1.99
"IF FATE WAS A TWO-SIDED COIN, I CHOSE TAILS SO EMILY COULD WIN HEADS."
When Mob Boss, Olivia Dixon's twin sister Emily suddenly goes missing, Olivia is hellbent on not just rescuing her but destroying the people responsible, no matter who that ends up being.
A guilt-ridden Olivia is convinced that they've got the wrong sister. After all, Emily's life is pretty tame by comparison. Instead of working with knives and guns, she teaches five-year-old kids how to spell.
In a last ditch attempt to find her, Olivia takes her sister's place; at work, with friends and perhaps more importantly even in Emily's husband's bed.
Fancy Reading Some?
“Don’t think it,” Jack mutters from where he’s sat opposite me at the breakfast bar, drinking a cup of tea.
The house is quieter now, most of the guys having been sent off on various errands, mostly just so that I can have a second’s peace to right my thoughts.
I glance up at my Uncle, opening my mouth to tell him to mind his own business. I want to lose my temper with someone and he’s right here. I want to tell him that he has no fucking idea what I’m thinking.
The clear and precise logic that has gotten me through the last few hours is now gone and my temper is definitely frayed.
“You’re thinking that if she’s not pressed the panic button by now,” he begins.
“That’s not what I’m thinking at all,” I retort angrily.
“You’re also thinking that if we haven’t received a ransom yet…” He says it so matter-of-factly, far easier than I’d be able to.
“What do you mean?” Todd asks.
Glancing across the room to where he had until a moment ago been pacing back and forth, I grimace.
“Jack is just talking shit,” I say, lying as easily as I always do. “It means nothing. He’s reading into stuff without any fucking evidence.”
“Like you’re not doing the same bloody thing,” Jack says testily.
“Good job you’re my Uncle,” I say, holding his eye for longer than he’d like. As family, Uncle Jack has always gotten away with more than my other subordinates, but that doesn’t mean he can be disrespectful.
He bows his head slightly, his tone immediately changing. “Sorry, boss.”
It doesn’t matter how long I’ve had the job; I still hate that word. Like I’m some big, bad mob boss out for blood. I shake my head. The last thing I want is to argue with Jack. I like the fact he calls me on my shit. It’s not something I want to discourage. I just don’t want to deal with the real possibility that my sister might be dead.
I reach over the breakfast bar and pat his elbow, before pointedly looking at Todd, giving him the silent message that I don’t know how much we should be telling Emily’s husband.
His eyes soften with new understanding. He forgets that I have a soft heart sometimes. They all do. They’ve seen me kill people so I guess it’s understandable.
Sighing, I decide to bite the bullet. I take a breath before turning to Todd.
“Remember how I told you about the panic button?” I don’t know why I’m asking such an obvious question. He’s not stupid. Although in fairness I don’t actually know that. I know next to nothing about him, except that his name is Todd.
He nods his head, his impatience showing on his face.
“The fear is that if she hasn’t pressed it yet, that either she’s somewhere where the GPS won’t get a signal or they’ve taken it from her.”
“Okay,” he replies. “Those options don’t sound great but they’re not dreadful.
“The other option is that she’s already dead,” I say bluntly and his eyes all but pop out of their sockets.
“What?” he splutters.
Deliver good news leisurely and bad news hurriedly, that’s what my mum always said. She said it was akin to pulling off a plaster and giving a kiss. You don’t peel off a plaster teasingly any more than you’d ever rush a kiss.
“That’s the fear,” I say. “It doesn’t make it any more or less likely than it was two hours ago.”
His expression tells me he would have preferred I told him two hours ago.
“We should call the police.”
“They won’t be able to do anything that we’re not already doing,” I tell him. “In fact, there are things I can do that they can’t.”
“Like what?” he demands heatedly, slamming his fist on the breakfast bar.
“Illegal things. Hacking. Paying for information. Hitting people for information. Murder, if necessary.” I say it all as if I do those sort of things every day, which of course, I don’t. I mean I deal in illegal arms and I’ve occasionally gotten into the drug trade and okay, yes, I’ve killed a few people over the years, but I’m not… I’m not really sure how I’d like to finish that thought. I’m not a monster? A bad person?
I don’t like the look in his eyes. He’s judging me and usually, that wouldn’t bother me, but strangely I really don’t want my sister’s husband to hate me.
“Off point much?” Jack barks irritably. “More important than all that is the fact we’ve still not had a ransom.”
“So?” Todd asks, his eyes still on me.
I don’t want to tell him. I don’t want to say the words.
“It’s highly likely,” I grit my teeth, “that whoever took Emily mistook her for me.”
“And?” He’s glaring at me. If he hates me now, it will be twice as bad in a second.
“If that’s the case, they most likely won’t be after money,” I tell him. “It’ll be revenge.”
“You’re saying they’re going to kill her?”
“I’m saying that it’s highly probable that she may already be dead,” I say, my voice catching. Or being tortured to within an inch of her life, I finish in my head.
“However,” Jack chimes in, in what can only be described as false bravado, “the fact that we’ve not received a bragging photo of Emily’s corpse is very reassuring.”
“What the fuck?” Todd practically shouts at the same time I lung for my Uncle Jack.
I mean he’s right, but did he really have to say it like that.
“What the hell is wrong with you people?” Todd is now on a full-on rant and I don’t have the energy to try and calm him down.

I have a book I'm absolutely dying to share with you. It would be great if you'd check it out and even better if you hit one click so you can read it for yourself.
ƩΩ🖤 The Selection 🖤ƩΩ
Kate Reid is dead or at least one of them is. Inside these pages weaves a tale of college #Rush, crazy house Presidents, romantic complications, and missing pledges that only scratches the surface of a sinister undertone to this year's festivities. But this is college. That means parties, hazing, and potential hook-up's with frat boys; what's not to love? You only live once, right?
For SBP's Vice President, Kate Reid, things are not always as they seem. Her dreams have begun to haunt her while flashbacks of memories she can't place chill her to the bone. She feels like a part of her is missing and the name Andi is on the tip of her tongue for reasons she can't begin to understand much less explain. Despite this, she's looking forward to banter, much needed laughter, and adding new members to their sorority sisterhood. She's not opposed to enjoying a little hazing that comes with #Rush territory.
Instead of surviving the challenges of keg stands, beer pong, & Jello shots, Kate finds herself at the center of a deadly game leaving everyone with more questions than answers. If her life being in jeopardy wasn't hair-raising enough, her pledges are going missing and no one knows if they are dead or alive. Surviving college #Rush this year will surpass any of the House challenges.
At the end of the day, two questions remain.... Are you ready to #Rush and will you survive?
Only the Elite will be Selected & Only the Strong will Survive..... Are you ready to #RUSH
All that glitters is not gold & things are not always as they appear....

If you're anything like me, it's completely impossible to settle for just one #favourite #book. I've been thinking about this a lot recently. It doesn't matter how much #time I try to lay aside to #read, it never seems to be enough.
I thought I'd #share with you some of my all time #favourite #book. Some are super #old, others are #children #books (because even at the age of twenty-nine they still mean a lot to me), others are #naughty #romance #books...
Although I'm listing #ten, it's important to say they are not in any particular order...
Harry Potter!
I have always been a big fat Harry Potter #geek! As a teenager I wrote Harry Potter #fanfiction... Yes, I was that cool. You can probably still find me on FanFiction.Net LOL! I still get reviews now... even after all these years and requests to finish my longest #series.
Persuasion
As a teenager I was #obsessed with Jane #Austen but where everyone else seems to always think P&P when they think about Jane Austen, my heart automatically goes to #Persuasion. I don't know if it's because even back then I was in love with the idea of #SecondChanceRomance or what... but I flipping love this #book!
The Crossfire Series
To risk offending people, I have to say that the #Crossfire #series really didn't get enough attention. It is 100 times, if not more, better than Fifty Shades and yet it isn't a household name. Gideon Cross is insanely hot and I really love Eva. She's way better than Anna. Just saying. Go Sylvia Day! You're my idol.
Pretty Much Everything By Deborah Bladon
I've read pretty much everything Bladon has written. She's awesome. If you think I write a lot of Cliffhangers, you have no idea! Deborah Bladon's cliffies are insane.
One Day
I might be the only one that loves to cry... If a book makes me cry, I'm pretty much guaranteed to love it. Of course, I watched the film too... but the book was a thousand times better. Just saying.
North & South
I love #old stuff... in case you haven't realised. I'm totally infatuated with Mr #Thornton from North & South. Elizabeth #Gaskell is probably my all time #favourite #author. I mean who doesn't swoon over a broody, arrogant man in a cravat?
MC Beaton's Books
I don't know if you know MC #Beaton. She #writes everything from #historical #romance to #murder #mysteries. And I'm #obsessed with her #books. If you watch #British tv, you might have seen the #series Agatha #Raisin...
The Time Traveller's Wife
I love this book! I can't tell you how much I wish it was true. A love that transcends time? How amazing is that???
Lauren Kate's Fallen
I read this #series first when I was in my teens and it inspired a lot of crazy ideas in my mind. One day I will #write my own #Angel #romance... just give me time. I already have the bones.
Lexi C. Foss' Blood Alliance Series
I read the first two #books in this series earlier this year and am currently waiting for the next one. If you love #PNR and #Vampires, #Demons and #Angels and all that stuff, you'll love Lexi's #books. Also, it's worth saying she's a complete gem.

Hello Lovelies! Today I thought I'd take a second to answer some of the #questions that I often get asked about The #History #Series. I started #writing the #series all the way back in 2016 and finished it last year with the #release of A History in Paris. I am also really excited to announce that in the next few months I will be looking to add this series to #Radish.
What inspired you to write the History series?
I don't often talk about why I wrote the history #series for a very simple reason. It's actually very #personal. At the time of #writing the #series, I was trying to grapple with some pretty hard stuff. My #mum, who has a brain injury, wasn't doing very well and was often #depressed. Then in the new year of 2016 she attempted #suicide. It was whilst my mum spent a few weeks in the psychiatric hospital that I actually began #writing Repeating History, #book one in the series.
If you've not read the series yet then you won't know, but Andrew, our leading man, his mum suffers from #depression and has tried to kill herself on two separate occasions, both around the #holidays. As I was #writing, how I felt about my mum was put into Andrew's #character. All my #anger, #pain, #sadness. My #fear. All of it.
Who is your favourite character in the series?
It's difficult to answer that to be honest. I love Andrew, perhaps because I relate to his #pain so much. I love how he hides behind jokes and #humour. Even in his worst moments, I find it so easy to #love him. But I also have a soft spot for Maya, Andrew's sister. I love how completely #random and #whimsical she is. And I love how much her two big brothers want to protect her.
#Bullying is a key #theme in this series. How do you try to deal with that in a healthy way?
Andrew #bullied Clara in #school. That's the horrid #history that they have to face as #adults. Most kids at some point in their school #experience will face #bullying. It's horrible and can have an awful effect on mental health and self esteem. I was bullied as a kid, so I could totally relate to Clara. I can't imagine anything worse than finding out that the boy who bullied me at school is now my #work #colleague. No matter how old you get, the past is still there. But I didn't want that pain to be something that was just one sided. As awful as bullying is for the victim, I also wanted to show that not everything is as clear cut as we often think. Andrew, like every bully, had reasons for his behaviour. It didn't excuse it. Didn't make it right or okay. But that's reality. All the shitty things we do and all the hurtful words we use, they're all caused by something, usually our own pain.
I also wanted to show that there are #consequences. Andrew has to face the consequences of his childhood bullying, when the girl he bullied ends up being the woman he falls in love with. Fate likes to fuck with us, lol.
When did you realise you wanted to be an author?
I've always loved writing but I never thought it would be my life's ambition or anything. I thought it was a hobby. That is until I started publishing. I still don't really make anywhere near enough to live off my royalties alone and don't see that changing any time soon. I'm happy having a day job or whatever, so long as I get to keep time for my books.
What time of day do you find it easiest to write?
I'm a total night owl. I could stay up all night and sleep all day, but then my routine goes all out of sync. So as much as my writing flows better later at night. It's better if I can write in the afternoon.
The History Series is a Second Chance Romance but what other genres do you write?
A huge chunk of my #books are #British #Contemporary #Romances but I also have some #Reverse #Harems, #Fantasy, #Paranormal and #Organised #Crime, #Dark #Romances. There's something for everyone.
Do you have a tag line?
"British author with a world inside her head that insists on being put to paper."
What do you plan to write next?
I'm currently working on two #stories, Flip A Coin and INSTINCT. Flip A Coin is the first of my #Organised #Crime #series and can be read as a #serial on #Radish. INSTINCT is a #dark #pnr #romance about #Vampires. After that I will be returning to my #Contemporary #Reverse #Harem #Rock #Star #series, Lust & Lyrics with All Mine.
What are you currently reading?
I'm actually doing a little market #research right now. I've been #reading on #Radish to try and get a grapple with what the #readers on there like to #read and how best to go about publishing on this new to me platform.
Do your books carry a message to your readers?
I try to write something that will not only entertain but inspire and hopefully help my readers. I want them to take something from what I write. I write a little note to my readers at the beginning of most of my books, telling them what I hope they will gain from the book. So, the rules series was all about realising that you should set your own rules and expectations and not live by someone else's. But it was also about realising that those rules should be fluid and amendable, and sometimes even breakable.
With the History series I wanted my readers to realise that although you can't change the past, you can't delete it or hide from it, you can learn and grow from it. That fucked up past that we all have is what makes us us.
The Intimacy Series was about understanding that love and intimacy comes at a price. There's a risk involved but if you find the right person, they'll be worth the risk. The Fate Series was a bit of a wish or a hope. My hope that my readers would find a love that is so good it must be fated. That might be wishful thinking, but I'm a dreamer.
Book four, A History in Paris, is a little different to the rest of the series. Tell us about it.
A History In Paris isn't a Happy Ever After sort of story. It's reality. Too often love isn't built to last but the failed loves of the past lead us to the true love that's waiting for us. This book follows Clara's parents as they fall in love and have children before divorcing. It doesn't end happily as anyone who has read the rest of the series already knows, but that doesn't make their love any less beautiful.
The History Series is a complete series so if you hate waiting for the next book in a series, this is a great series for you. It would be great if you'd one click it today!
You can either purchase each book individually or purchase them all together in a box set for slightly less money.
This series is perfect for you if you enjoy second chance office romances and if you love your sex scenes hot, and your love mixed with heartache and humour.
The History Series will be available on Radish from September onward.
Flip A Coin
Organised Crime (#1)
I have started writing a new #British #contemporary #series called Organised Crime. The first #book, Flip A Coin, is currently only available on the Radish App.
"If fate was a two-sided coin, I chose tails so Emily could win heads."
When Mob Boss, Olivia Dixon's twin sister Emily suddenly goes missing, Olivia is hellbent on not just rescuing her but destroying the people responsible, no matter who that ends up being.
A guilt-ridden Olivia is convinced that they've got the wrong sister. After all, Emily's life is pretty tame by comparison. Instead of working with knives and guns, she teaches five-year-olds kids how to spell.
In a last ditch attempt to find her, Olivia takes her sister's place; at work, with friends and perhaps more importantly even in Emily's husband's bed.

I wrote the #History #Series during a particularly difficult time in my #life. My #mum is quite sick. She suffered a brain injury about six years ago and sometimes she gets very #depressed. In 2016, when I was writing the #History #Series, my #mum was actually in the #hospital after having tried to commit #suicide. This #series was this #author's way of trying to come to terms with what was happening. You could say it was #cathartic.
You can’t delete the past. You can’t avoid it either. If you do, eventually it will slap you right across the face.
Clara’s been avoiding her past for years, but when it’s exposed what will she do?
More than that, how can she keep the people she loves safe from scandal?
Will she sacrifice her own happiness to keep everyone’s history buried?
The second book in a four part series, Deleting #History is the story of two Londoners, Andrew and Clara as they overcome their past and the secrets and pains of their parents.
If you love your #romance accompanied with a little #heartache and a heck of a lot of laughter, this series is for you.
Currently available on #Amazon and #Kindle Unlimited, although Hanleigh has plans to take this book wider in the near future.
The best bit is that Deleting History is part of a #complete #series, so you don't have to wait for the next #book in the #series, it's already #available. You can also save some pennies when you #buy the box set instead of buying the books individually, just enough money to buy another #book.

It's Easy To Get Lost In Your Own Thoughts
An #author's mind is a mixing pot of ideas and interwoven #plot points. There are more voices than can possibly be healthy. We're always inclined to write down what we're thinking too, because those words, that feeling, that brokenness is exactly what our next #book needs. Just as much as a #reader will lose themselves in a #book, #authors lose themselves in the world of #imagination that creates those books.
Your Back Hurts
#Authors spend a ridiculous amount of time hunched over a notebook or laptop. There is just no avoiding the inevitable bad back. And neck. By the time a #book is finished, I can hardly walk and I just want to curl up in a ball and forget everything, unless someone is willing to walk on my back.
Authors Are Naturally #Depressive
Throughout history most of the saddest people were #writers. Health.com even says that #writing is one of the top ten professions most likely to lead to depression. I don't know if its because that unhappiness leads to genius or that the genius leads to unhappiness, but its fair to say, we writers are a temperamental, emotional bunch.
It's #Lonely
We spend all day #writing, sat alone at our desk or in a coffee shop. We watch the world go by and #write, all the while forgetting what it actually is to interact with other human beings.
The Financial Uncertainty
Most of the time we ignore the fact that there are absolutely no guarantees. We say it doesn't matter that we have no idea how much #money we'll make from our next #release. It doesn't matter if it's enough to live or cover #expenses. That's just the price of #art. But god, in the dark at night, when I'm lying in bed thinking about it... yeah, it matters then.
Feeling Exposed
With every new book, we show a little more of our #soul to the world outside. We uncover some #secret we'd vowed never to share or we sob as we #write our own #feelings onto the paper. It's scary as hell and we get through it by telling ourselves that it's just the character's feelings, not ours.
Writer's Block
More often than I care to admit, I hit a wall. My #writing stagnates and anything that I actually put to paper is pure SHIT! But for the most part, I can't even get the words onto the paper.
Selling Yourself
#Authors have to work hard to #promote their work but at the same time it's super awkward and we really don't want to be #spammy asshats. So we try to build #relationship instead. We try to introduce you to us the person and hope that you might actually like us.
Comparing Yourself
There's always another #author who is doing better, making more #money, #writing better #books. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that we've all got different #stories to tell. It's important to #learn from others, compare yourselves just enough to improve but never enough to get downhearted.
Family Expectations & Pressure
When I first started #writing, I was terrified what my #family might think. So scared in fact, that I kept it a #secret for over a year. Now, I'm more willing to open up about it, although I still get #nervous. My gran tells everyone about my #books and is always asking me for the next one. Seriously, she finishes one and expects the next one to be on the way. I'm quick but I'm not that quick.

INSTINCT
Series: The Elite (#1)
Release Date: 27.07.19
Price: 99c (early bird pre-order price),
$1.99 (later pre-order price) and $4.00 (thereafter).
I'm not like the vampires in your books, little girl. I'm not agonising over my own soul or the ethics of drinking your blood. I don't want saving or to find some great love that will alter my very existence.
I'm not a monster. I'm the devil himself and I have no problem playing that role.
I take what I want and right now, what I want is you...
And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

In real life things go wrong. They don't always go to plan. We fall out of #love as quickly as we fall into it. Love can be lost in so many ways and without fail its loss almost always destroys us. But in our #books, everything is a little bit better, a little bit more eternal and 100% less painful.
The reason I write is probably the same reason you #read. When you read a #book your #imagination introduces you to a new world, a world that may be completely different to the one you live in. When you read a book the #author's words bring that world to life. How many times have you read a book or watched a film and found yourself #dreaming about it afterwards? Your imagination making it a reality, at least for a moment. The world the words create is #captivating, it catches your attention and works hard to keep it, your mind living out the character's Happy Ever After. There is only one thing more tantalising than entering someone else's imaginings: CREATING YOUR OWN. When you put pen to paper and create a world it is exhilarating. Every word has meaning. You know every character intimately. You know every #secret, every whisper, every smell, every hidden look; and more so than even the most avid of readers you can get lost inside your creation.
If I'm right and those worlds that fill our books are just a little bit better than this one, the only question left is why. I put it down to the #HEA. Even the books that lack a #conventional Happy Ever After, you know the ones - The Time Traveler's Wife... One Day... - they still have an #eternal happy ending. Our characters might not be together at the end but their #love remains eternal, their love surpasses even their lives, and in a way that too is a happy #ending.
As a #romance #writer, I've thought about this A LOT. Here are a few of my reasons why books are better than reality and why we're all so completely #hooked on #HEAs:
Book #Boyfriends Never Break Your Heart
Our book #boyfriends might disappoint us frequently while we’re #reading, every time they hurt our #heroine or do something that can only be described as downright stupid, but that disappointment is always short lived. In the long run, we still love them. Real people hurt you, it’s a given, but book boyfriends don’t. They can’t or they wouldn’t be our #perfect #heroes.
My #bookshelves are full of #book #boyfriends and even the ones that I’ve not met between the #pages in years, still hold a special place in my #heart. As crazy as it sounds, I still love them and all it takes is a few pages to reacquaint myself with them.
Love Lasts #Forever
In #romance #books love never ends. When the book ends, you know that they will still be together even when they are grey and old. Even when their lives come to an early end, we’re still left knowing that their love continues on. The love written into every #touch, every #word spoken, goes on long beyond the lives of the characters.
Too often in reality, love is cut short but not when it’s #written into the #pages of a #romance #book.
She's The You You Wish You Were
So often I find #characteristics in the female #protagonists I read that are exactly who I want to be. They are a combination of the characteristics I #wish I had. Even though they are #faulted, #imperfect, #human, their #strengths are always clear to see and in a way, it’s easy to feel a little bit #jealous. Except that jealousy is short lived, because within the #folds of a book you are able to forget that you are you and at least for a little while you can become them.
You Get To Design Their #Happiness
There's nothing better than guaranteeing that someone else, even if it's someone #fictional, has an amazing life with the person they love. That’s one of the things I love most about being an #author. In the words of Jane #Austen, “my characters shall have, after a little trouble, all that they desire.”
It’s a bit of a shame that each of us doesn’t have our own #writer, sat there, #pen in hand, waiting to help us along towards our own #happiness.
Happily Ever Afters Always Look #Different
Every character has a different happily ever after, like no two people are the same, neither is their two happily ever afters the same. Unlike in real life, where you only get one #HEA if you are lucky, in the #fictional #world you can have a whole #library full, all vibrantly different.
Obviously, I’m completely #hooked on #HEAs but what about you? Do you have a #book #boyfriend you’ll never forget?
