Being here, I feel a little like Cinderella did when she went to the ball – eyes wide open in awe, totally nervous and terribly excited, and ready for a good time.
Ella (Some versions of the fairy tale
call her that, and her wicked step-sisters called her Cinder Ella for having to
clean the ashes in the fireplace) is experiencing a new world. She’s thrilled
to be there and yet not quite sure of her place in it.
That’s
me!
I’m a debut historical romance author
with Soul Mate Publishing, coming to the party for the very first time, and I’m
learning the way as I go. I’ve launched a website. Start writing a blog. Put up
a Facebook page and have learned the fine art of tweeting. I’ve found there’s
so much more to writing than just being creative. There’s a whole business side
to consider – and I have to watch carefully so that side of things doesn’t suck
the life out of me.
But I’m eager and ready to learn. I’m
here in the GF Party Pavilion to get to know you, dear readers, and let you
learn a little about me and my first published book. I’ll be back throughout
the day telling you bits and pieces about myself and Music for my Soul, a medieval historical romance set in 1346.
Here’s a blurb to start the party off:
As the third wife of an abusive French vineyard owner, Madeleine
Bouchard hasn’t produced the expected heir after three years of marriage.
Fearing he plans to kill her, she flees during a trip to England. Unable to
make her way home, she joins a troupe of traveling mummers and reinvents
herself as the only woman troubadour in the land, captivating audiences with
both song and story.
Nobleman Garrett Montayne’s fascination with Madeleine causes him to pay the troupe to bypass their next stop in order to journey to his estate. Though he suspects Madeleine of being a thief with dark secrets, love blossoms between them under the magical moon of summer solstice.
But Madeleine’s past is about to catch up with her, as her husband is set to arrive to conduct business with Garrett. Madeleine determines to free herself from her loveless marriage and make a new life with Garrett, no matter what the cost.

Thanks, Jennifer! Stick around the party - my next 3 posts all have an excerpt to give you a taste of the novel.
The premise sounds great!
Life was tough on women back then. Sounds like a great story.
I had fun trying to think how a woman on the run would survive. The mummers she falls in with are a fun lot, and she makes great friends! A little boy named Evan just steals her heart.
