Game On! #8Sunday #wewriwra

weekend_writing_warriorsveteransbadge_4Game on! is my new short story I’m serving up on Weekend Writers Warriors #8Sunday.

A semi-pro football player meets a teacher who intrigues him with an offer of a different type of game.

Rivulets of sweat coursed down Heath Lancaster’s face as he drove the sled another five yards. Heat, ninety percent humidity, sweat, pain… None of it mattered, the game fueled his blood. Six weeks in Virginia Beach and he’d made the cuts to play on the area’s new professional football team.

Over the grunts and groans of the offensive line, a loud whistle pierced the air. “Break,” shouted their coach.

He yanked off the suffocating helmet and grabbed one of the water lines. The cooling H2O squirted over his head and face before he gunned a stream down his parched throat.

“Are we hitting the beach later?” his teammate, Dugan asked, reaching for another hose.

He nodded, imagining cool waves and a sea of curves in bikinis.

Romance Weekly – April 8 #LoveWriteChat #Blog

This week:  Pitching for a movie and actors playing my hero and heroine…

RomanceWeekly Scenario: A Hollywood producer is interested in your book. Can you come up with an enticing logline (plot summary of 25 words or less) I’m pitching for my pre-published novel, Hot as Blazes. A disgraced surfer turned firefighter falls in love with one of her bigstockimage46781775brethren but her past transgressions levy a hefty toll.

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Jessica Biel as she looked in action rolls like Stealth and Blade II is the closest resemblance to my heroine’s body type. She has a similar facial structure, but my heroine, Jo, has amber eyes and lighter hair color.

My hero is a tall and built like an NFL tight end. Former Raider, Howie Long would have fit the bill when he was in his early thirties. Currently, fitness model, Jase Dean closely resembles Ray and has enamoring blue eyes. Check out my Pinterest board Hot as Blazes for visuals on my hero and heroine.

Does the storyline of your novel compare with any films out there? There are many movies about a protagonist with a lurking past, but I’ve never seen a film about a female surfer turned firefighter who falls for her brother’s best friend and tends bar for a mysterious SEAL who is somehow linked to her past.
