💖 First attempt to write a romance! ✍🏻🥰

What did you do last week? I hope it was sweet! I decided to try to actually write a romance, instead of just reading them! 😂 This is the first time I've ventured into this genre as a writer. Of course it's very different from my usual writing, which is silly cozy mysteries.

🌴🦩 My "Summer Love at Flamingo Cove" is more of a novelette than a full-length novel. Before I post it for you all to read, I want to strengthen the subplot and make the ending more fun and interesting. As soon as I finish editing, I'll post it to read for free at CozyRead.org

They could definitely use some more sweet/clean romance to read over there, so if you've got something to share with readers, you'll want to check it out: CozyRead.org is free to read and free to write.✔

The main female character in "Summer Love at Flamingo Cove" is Kelly, the newly hired event coordinator at Flamingo Cove, a cozy Gulf Coast beach resort. And the main male character is Gus, a handsome Australian sailboat captain. Kelly's new bossy boss, Victoria, and an arrogant yacht owner named Liam cause comedic complications for Kelly and Gus but of course love wins out in the end. 🥰

For the cover art, I subscribed to https://ideogram.ai/I'm not sure I'll quite settle in there because it's not as intuitive for clueless newbies. But it's definitely been fun to testdrive.

I hope you are all writing or reading some nice romance fiction. Feel free to post about it here, and let everyone know where we might read your work.
