THE TROUBLE WITH FAKING is now available!

My newest book baby is here!

 
Yaaaaaaay!!! I'm so happy to have this book out in the world. Andi was a super fun character to write. She has a wacky dress sense, she's a book tuber, and she designs stuff for Etsy. (I also got to write about several hot guys, and, you know, that's always fun ;-) ). 


THE TROUBLE WITH FAKING
Contemporary Romance
Upper YA / Sweet NA



After a stupid miscommunication, everyone in Andi’s new res thinks she’s secretly dating Damien, boyfriend of resident queen bee Charlotte. Since the rumour’s already out there and refuses to be squashed, Andi and Damien decide to keep up the facade in the hopes of snagging the attention of the people they really want to be with. Brilliant plan, right? Especially since Damien is the guy Andi’s always wanted. But now there’s Mike, the guy Andi’s pretending to be interested in for the sake of the fake relationship plan, and Noah, Damien’s annoying best friend—who is so not Andi’s type—and suddenly the plan isn’t looking so brilliant anymore.

The Difference Between Writing Fantasy and Writing Contemporary Romance



{Google Search Terms}


CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
"airplane seating plane"
"most embarrassing situations"
"most romantic date ideas"
"university orientation"

FANTASY
"mythological creatures"
"list of supernatural abilities"
"types of weapons"
"traditional fae lore"

__________________________




CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Main character's love life / friendships / career.

FANTASY
The fate of the world.




_________________________


Writing fantasy and writing contemporary romance have been quite different experiences.
I thought contemporary would be easier, but honestly, it hasn't been.
They both have different challenges. And I've enjoyed them both :-)
It's good to have a break from one genre and try out another.
What do you think? Are you a writer who hops between genres?
A reader who hops between genres?

A New FREE Release from Author Rachel Morgan: FORGIVEN (A TROUBLE NOVELLA)

I've been wanting to publish some contemporary fiction for a while, and that time has finally arrived! The stories that make up the Trouble Series have been floating around inside my head for almost three years now, and I'm so excited for people to start reading them soon! To give you a taste of what's coming, the series kicks off today with the release of a prequel novella, FORGIVEN. It's slightly more serious than the novels to come, but there are some humorous moments :-) And because I am SO, SO appreciative of all the readers who've supported me since I first began publishing, I'm making this novella FREE as a way of saying THANK YOU!


So THANK YOU, dear readers,
and here it is!


Heartache, humour, and first love collide in this sweet romance novella ...

Three hundred and six days ago, Julia ran away from home. Abandoning her family, friends, boyfriend, and university plans, she fled with no explanation. She can't hide forever, though, and now it's time to face the mess she left behind.

(NA romance free of sexual content and explicit language.)




The covers for the four novels in The Trouble Series are being revealed on May 6th, and if you want to help out, you can sign up here at Xpresso Book Tours!

Here comes TROUBLE ...

It's been a while since I published something. About five months, actually (which to some writers isn't long at all, while others could have published two or three books in that time!). So you're probably wondering what's coming next from me, especially now that the Creepy Hollow series is over. Sort of. (Whaaat? And all the Creepy Hollow fans sit up and take note. Did she just say 'sort of'??? I did. But that's an announcement for another day.)

So ....... Today I'd like to introduce my next series to you:




FORGIVEN (A Trouble Novella) - April 24th
THE TROUBLE WITH FLYING (Trouble #1) - June 26th
THE TROUBLE WITH FLIRTING (Trouble #2) - Aug
THE TROUBLE WITH FAKING (Trouble #3) - Oct
THE TROUBLE WITH FALLING (Trouble #4) - Dec


These are standalone novels (no cliffhangers!) featuring related characters. You could pick up any individual book and get a complete story (although it would contain mild spoilers for any prior books). They are contemporary romance/romantic comedy in the upper YA/NA category. And I'm having a whole lot of fun writing them!

The grand cover reveal for books 1 to 4 is happening on May 6th (and if you want to take part, you can sign up here at Xpresso Book Tours), BUT I'm excited today to reveal the cover for the prequel novella, FORGIVEN!




Three hundred and six days ago, Julia ran away from home.

And you know what's even MORE exciting about this novella (other than its gorgeous cover!)?
It's going to be FREE!

If you're feeling generous with your spare time (ha! Spare time? That's a joke, right?!), it would be super, duper awesome if you could share a tweet about the series or post the cover of FORGIVEN on Facebook or Twitter.
