Kissing Fire
One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life.  So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase.  Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodgeball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head.  Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what lap top out the window.   She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone and hit #4 on her speed dial. Boss:  Hello A.M.:  Boss, is that you? Boss:  Why yes, A. M., who else would be answering my phone? A.M.:  Er... right.  Well, I'm calling to let you know you can pick up my luxury Ford Focus at Starbucks near the interstate. Boss:  Why ever would I want to do that? A.M.:  Because I quit! A.M. hit the end button and speed dialed her husband. A.M.:  Hi hubs, can you pick me up at Starbucks? Hubs:  Sure... Having some car trouble? A.M.:  Not at all.  I don't have a car to have trouble with because I just quit my job. Hubs:  WHAT?! A.M.:  It's time for a new career and I am going to be a very famous novelist. So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer! Her books include Kissing Fire, Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge, the series the Guardians of Vesturon (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, Beginnings and the upcoming reEmergent) and Dark Waltz.
