Writer's Cave

Remember how I am a part of The Forgiven Duke blog tour?  Well, I have a special post from Jamie Carie herself about her Writer's Cave.  But First, a little about Jamie.

Jamie Carie

Jamie Carie writes novels about fierce, passionate women; their dreams; their fears; their triumphs. Her deepest desire is to see her readers find that same passion as they follow their destiny and discover deeper intimacy with Jesus.

She lives in Indianapolis with her husband and three sons.

Writer’s Cave –

I have a laptop and tend to move around but I’ve attached two photos of my “work spaces.”

 Kitchen Table Office

Sometimes, when I can see the screen well enough, I work outside in my backyard.

My Writer’s Cave – I do love working at night so the word “cave” is very apt. I usually write in my corner office (a corner of my bedroom – lol), in my kitchen at the table, in my living room on the reclining sofa or, when the weather and lighting is right, outside on my deck.

When I’m on a tight deadline, I tend to write off and on all day and in the evenings, but when I have the choice, I am most creative at night. I hope you enjoy the photos of some of my writing spots!

Thanks so much Jamie for allowing us to see your writing spots!  I love getting to know Jamie and interacting with her on her facebook page.  Be sure to check it out right now :)

The Forgiven Duke Review & Giveaway

Remember my review of The Guardian Duke?  Well, I am again excited to tell you about the next book in the series, The Forgiven Duke.  I am reposting this review as part of The Forgiven Duke blog tour!  Check out the complete tour here.

About The Book:  The Forgiven Duke
Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon - the path of least resistance - Alexandria Featherstone sets off toward Iceland in search of her parents with a leaden heart.  A glimpse of her guardian, the Duke of St. Easton - the path less traveled by - on Dublin's shore still haunts her.  Will he come after her?  Will her drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: "Faith for Duty," the St. Easton motto.  The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens "Willing and Able," beats in her heart and thrums through her veins.  She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the cost.  The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge that has become his life since hearing his ward's name.  Alexandria Featherstone will be the life or the death of him.  Only time and God's plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the prize of love.

As with the first book in the series, The Guardian Duke, I really enjoyed this book!  The Forgiven Duke picks up right where we left Alex and Gabriel.  I was excited to get back to the story and see how unfolds.  Alexandria and her "Duke" have only glimpsed each other, yet their feelings run strong from the letters they have communicated back and forth.  I love the idea of falling in love over letters.  I remember when David and I were in college and one summer we were in different cities.  I cannot tell you how much I treasured his letters to me.  I truly love the way that Carrie creates and sustains their romance.

Alexandria's first goal is to find her parents at whatever the cost may be, she just cannot bring herself to think that they are dead.  And that is how Alex finds herself engaged to Lord John Lemon.  I love the twists and turns that Carrie weaves into this book.  I hesitate to say too much because I am not one for "spoiling" books.  Carrie's character development continues to amaze me as I care for many of them and not so much for a few!  I cannot wait to finish the series out...
