Looking Back on 2020 @ConstanceBretes #romancegems

 

This past year was not a good year for me. Most of my problems were medical in nature but nothing to do with Covid19. However, between my medical problems, healing, and the quarantine caused by Covid19, I worked on my hobbies.

What hobbies do I have? Well, Basket weaving is my most favorite hobby, I enjoy creating unique baskets with various handles.

Another hobby I started this year is diamond painting. Here is my current work in progress. If you don’t know what diamond painting is, you use a pen to dip in glue, then pick up a diamond piece, and apply it to the appropriate letter, number or symbol on the sticky canvas. It’s like painting by numbers.

Another hobby that I spend less time doing is playing the piano. As a young adult, I took 6 years of piano lessons and loved it. I like to play jazzy pieces, as well as some classical pieces, contemporary pieces, and what I love to play are the hardest pieces to play, they are hymns from an old hymnal book.

I haven’t spent any time writing during the year 2020, my desire to write has taken a back seat to everything else going on, but I have spent time with my editor editing my military book that will be release soon. What would taken 6 months of editing and preparing a book for publication has taken over a year because of my setbacks, but my publisher is a small business publisher and she has also had her share of medical problems.

Anyway, thought I’d share some of my hobbies and let you know that I do have another book coming out soon, when we decide on a book cover and the tag line I will let everyone know! Here’s a draft of the blurb. It's called: Operation Code Name: Desert Love

Clarissa is caught in the crosshairs of insurgents in Afghanistan with two other people. Held hostage by Taliban wannabes, she can only hope that her father, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, will send in his best men, most specifically, Len Roberts, of the Delta Force, to rescue them.

Returning to the base in Afghanistan after a mission to take out an important Taliban leader, Len received the news and the order, to rescue Clarissa and her friends from the insurgents.

Len knows that when he shows up to rescue Clarissa, she will be angry at him and her father, for choosing him to rescue her. Since the last time he saw her, it did not end on good terms.

Will he rescue her before the insurgents kill her? And if he did rescue her, will they be able to control the passion that stands between them?
