Brandon Nave's Copper Lilies

“A beautifully written reminder that draws attention to a chronic disease that still needs to be fought on the front lines as stigma/judgment remain.”

|| COPPER LILIES by Bradon Nave ||
In 1986, twenty-three-year-old country girl Nora Brown decides it’s time for a change…

Complacent and bored with her life in rural Oklahoma, Nora leaves her bigoted father and all she’s ever known to pursue a new life in San Francisco. At the height of the AIDS epidemic, Nora, a registered nurse, believes she can be an asset to the community. Bunking in a tiny apartment with a longtime friend, Nora secures a job within a large hospital and begins volunteer work for an organization that cares for those afflicted with the disease.

She is soon faced with the horrors of AIDS—a reality she wasn’t quite prepared for…

Just as the courageous group of caregivers and volunteers have their emotional strength depleted to the point of no return, the group rallies together and pushes forward, remembering their mission—if they aren’t there for these people, who will be?

Nora wasn’t expecting to find him here, to “fall in love among the ashes…”

Along her journey, she meets a diverse community of lionhearted survivors. And then there’s Donald, another volunteer who fights alongside those with dwindling hope. Nora and Donald grow closer as the war on HIV rages around them.

They watch their friends waste to nothing, yet no answers are being offered. The only comfort is the solace they find in each other. After months of hardships, another crippling loss shakes the foundation of Nora’s faith.

Their struggle is not only about HIV/AIDS—but about how the nation responds, and the humanistic choice to be unsung heroes.

Christine Hartmann On Writing & Wild Within

I'm happy to welcome author Christine Hartmann to the blog today. Her new release, a romantic suspense, Wild Within has an intriguing premise.  She was kind enough to answer a few questions about her writing life.  Her book is now available on Amazon  and Barnes & Noble. What is your process for plotting out your novel? I make a rough outline of the plot. Then I work on the scenes. I love the book Story by Robert McKee. I don’t do it his ideal way, but I have used a lot of the advice in that book. What is your greatest challenge as a writer? Finding the balance between my busy full-time job and my book writing career. I love my job—it’s meaningful and important to me. But so is my book writing. Finding a balance sometimes involves compromises, and it’s usually the book writing that has to compromise. Do you write in one genre or multiple genres? Why? I write in multiple genres. My first book was a memoir, So Far Away: A Daughter’s Memoir of Life, ...

#1lineWed

I've been enjoying the Twitter hashtag #1lineWed for a while now. An RWA romantic suspense chapter asks writers to post one line from a book they are currently writing in the genre. Each week there is a theme. Today's was "action". One week it was "dialogue". I've loved reading the clever tweets written by other writers as well. Here are a few lines I've posted over the weeks from Sarah's Second Chance, my romantic mystery. 1. Looking out the store window, I glimpsed flecks of white confetti-like stuff swirling through the sky.  2. Greyson was standing there in his finery, donning a slick fedora dusted with snow. 3. “How was school?” “Not good.” “What happened?” "This kid tried to cut my finger off with safety scissors.”   4. As the sun set in Siletz Bay, we watched the ships sail in the distance. 5. We bellied up to the buffet. Vats of steak, penne pasta, pineapple cubes, tubs of jello and chocolate...
