An Awakening
Flowers are blooming, and the sounds of birds fill the air.

This is my favorite time of the year to get outside and enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Funny, but in a number of my books, I start the story in spring. Why?

Spring is a new beginning, a chance to see the world around us in a new light—the perfect way to start a new story.

The bitter days of winter are over and the world around us is coming alive with new birth.

How can we resist the call to cast aside the old and look toward the promise of a new day?

Seeds to plant, beauty to enjoy, more sunlight each day, shed that winter coat, new fashion—so awake and
fly into the new season. Love, adventure, and new thrills await us.

Happy spring,
Tina

Executives’ Wives’ Club series
Four women…
One fatal car wreck…
Everyone’s lives changed…

EWC1 — “The Unwilling Widow”
Jennifer Larson, having lost her husband, friends and the perfect life she’d had plan, now faces the biggest challenge of her life, moving into an unplanned future. While the rest of the Executive Wife Club is still wallowing in the past, Jen is tempted into the future by a sexy chiropractor, Hagan Chaney.

But does he really love her or is he only after her money?

Excerpt –
Jen gathered her strength and followed Hagan through the house. The easy flow of his long limbs showed incredible grace for a big man. So tempting, yet, she couldn’t pursue him. Not now, not with everyone watching her, they expected her to act like a grieving widow. If she didn’t, they’d forever brand her as an unloving wife.
She hated the farce, but she had no choice. No one knew her marriage had turned into a sham long before Craig died.
A few minutes later, she walked outside and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, with the showing done, she could return Hagan to his office. She locked the front door and stored the key in the lockbox. Spinning on her heels, she faced Hagan.
At the end of the porch, one foot already positioned on the first step with a hand out to assist her, he waited. “So, Jen, since we’re done for today, why don’t we meet tomorrow night for dinner?”
Jen edged backward and her butt hit the closed door. The urge to run away from his undeniable magnetism, and the problems he’d cause, sent her mind into a tail spin.
What in the hell should I do now?

About Tina:
Tina Gayle was born in Texas, the place of her heart and where most of her family still lives. The youngest of four daughters, she grew up a dreamer.

She worked for years in the business world doing a variety of accounting jobs. Then when her two sons were little, Tina decided to go back to school to get a degree in MIS. She only used this degree a few years before deciding to follow her passion for writing romance.

Her first book, “Pregnancy Plan” was published by The Wild Rose Press in 2007. Next, she tried her hand at writing a paranormal story. “Mating Rituals” came next and is a farther step away from her other contemporary stories with more off-world fantasy elements. Then she wrote two more contemporary, “Baby Decision” and “Youthful Temptations.”  She is currently working on a series about four executive wives. The ebooks will come out in 2012 and 2013.

Married twenty-five years, she and her husband love to travel and can’t wait for Mike to retire so they can do it more.

    I love spring! After spending years in the Arctic it has been an adjustment to see green grass and flowers blooming in February and March. My nose has yet to adjust to the pollen. I always start my books in the fall. I never thought about that until your post. Kind of interesting and probably says a lot about each of us.

    My fav thing about Spring is just the rebirth of all the trees and flowers. The beautiful colours that start to pop up in all the garden.. The freshness that a good spring air brings…
    And most of allt he feel of the sun on my face… nothing better.
