Guest Post! Celia K. Nott
Hi there, I’m Celia K Nott, a romance author who can’t decide if she wants to write sweet or sexy, so I write a little bit of both! I grew up in a very small town in Colorado where I learned the difference between a bear and cougar attack and how to control a spin-out on icy roads. I write what I know best: small mountain towns and quirky characters with adoption/foster-care themes woven into sweet and sexy romance stories.
A big thank you to Ashley for letting me do this guest post today.
When I was five years old, I had two goals for my life: to be a published author and to be a mama. Well, as happens with most childhood dreams, both of my dreams didn’t quite go to plan.
It turns out my husband and I are infertile. As in zero-percent chance of conceiving, ever. And that writing thing? Ha! I couldn’t finish a darn book to save my life. So I did the “adult” thing and tried to forget those dreams and move on with life. I became a church receptionist and wrote devotions for the bulletin while earning a certificate in Biblical Leadership. Life wasn’t what I expected, but it was good and I was publishing something even if it wasn’t what I’d always dreamed.
But this year, everything changed.
In January, my husband and I adopted our first son from China. Seven months later, after leaving my job at the church to support kiddo at home, my first book went live on Amazon. The Reunion at Halfpoint is a sweet with heat novella that will always occupy a special spot in my heart because it proved I could actually finish a book. Considering my record of 27-years of failed, half-finished novels, the moment I pushed “publish” on TRAH was monumental.
Now, just a couple months later, I have four books on Amazon (2 are preorders) and feel like I’ve come back to myself. Just a few days ago I released my second book, A Suite Christmas and so far it is exceeding my expectations. And while TRAH has a special place in my heart, this book is the one that owns me. A Suite Christmas may not have been published first, but it is the story that woke me up in the middle of the night six months ago. The story that inspired me to reach for my dreams and become an indie author. It’s also the book that forced me to rebrand both my covers and my platform because Bear and Jada went and had sex all over my sweet with heat romance!
Now I know Christmas is a couple months away still, but let’s be real about how rough this year has been. A sexy Christmas romance novel won’t fix the world, but it might just bring a little cheer to your week.
So, if you’re looking for some cheer, check out the blurb for A Suite Christmas below. The link to buy or read for free with Kindle Unlimited is included!
A Suite Christmas
A Sexy BWWM Holiday Romance
Bear Matterson was just looking to get away. Jada Cooper was trying to make up for past mistakes. When these two polar opposites found out they'd be sharing a suite for the week, their Christmas plans went up in smoke.
But if this pair would just look beyond their differences, they may discover the greatest gift of all.
