Thanks for inviting me to blog, Libby, it’s
great to be here.
Before I start writing a book, I must have
the perfect title. Even though I know a publisher may change it, the words
won’t flow for me unless the title I devise sums up the book perfectly.
Yesterday I had a similar experience with a
song.
I know some authors use playlists while
writing (me? I prefer silence) but with NOT THE MARRYING KIND, my new book just
released, I knew the song for the book trailer had to be perfect too.
The song needed to encapsulate the fun,
flirty feel of the book. I wanted fast and boppy and Vegas!
Must say, I discovered googling songs can
become as addictive as googling hot heroes (purely for inspiration purposes, of
course!)
I had a ball checking out Vegas songs on
YouTube and like finding the perfect book title, I knew I’d found the perfect
song within hearing the first few bars.
Johnny Ray’s ‘I’m Going to Vegas’ is
everything I want NOT THE MARRYING KIND to be. Fast-paced. Fun. Racy.
So what do you think?

NOT THE MARRYING KIND BLURB:
Who
said marriage had to be convenient?
LA
party planner Poppy Collins has kept her side business—planning divorce parties
as the Divorce Diva—under wraps, but keeping her sister's company afloat is
proving tougher by the day. When a new divorce party prospect gives Poppy the
opportunity to save the day and boost her bottom line, she can't pass it up.
But this time, she's about to get way more than she bargained for…
Vegas
golden boy Beck Blackwood knows Poppy's secret, and he's not afraid to use it
to get exactly what he wants—a wife. With his reputation and corporate
expansion plans on the line, the only way he can repair the damage is by
getting hitched, and fast. And if blackmail is the only way to get Poppy to the
altar, then so be it…
But they're in the city of high stakes, and Poppy has a few aces up
her sleeve. Now it's time to find out if they're playing to win…or if they're
playing for keeps.
