Arranged by Trisha Grace

  Arranged : A Clean Billionaire Romance by Trisha Grace From the first chapter, this story engrossed me. I love Hayley and her spirit. She realizes her "dream" husband is just a dream, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she must press into her faith to take care of a man that doesn't want her around. Julian doesn't see Hayley as his wife, but her kindness towards him has him questioning her intentions. I love Trisha's depiction of both faith and love in this story. Hayley and Julian are both relatable, but Hayley is definitely my favorite in this story. I love her strength, her faith in God, and how she depends on Him to help with her rocky marriage. I look forward to reading more by Trisha Grace. Beautiful story, with even more twists and turns to keep us readers guessing.

Head-Hopping

What is head-hopping? It's not the same a omniscient point of view, but head-hopping is when you're reading the story through the eyes of one character. Then from there you shift to another POV in the same paragraph or scene with no indication of a change. I've been advised to keep the POV consistent with one character for an entire chapter, but I have been know to bounce back and forth between my main characters. There will either be a parapgraph break in spacing, or I'll change the POV in the next scene with a symbols, such as hashtags or four asterisks. The bottom line is the less you confuse a reader, the better. Not only do you want your story to be polished, you want it to be clear. There's a difference between raising questions for your plot and posing questions because your readers are lost. Until the next tip!😃

Recently I saw a post on Twitter referring to the use of scenes. So, it had me wondering, how do you know what scenes work best for your book? At the end of the day, you want the scenes that move your story along. Is it essential to your character's personal growth (character arc) in the story? Are you just padding your book with words to meet a word count? For example, if my character (heroine) is sitting the in the park, my reader will want to know why? Is she reflecting on her life? Why is this scene important to her story? If she meets her love interest (hero) while at the park, then yes keep it in the book. If she has a conversation about the guy with a friend while at the park, then yes save it. So, as you can see if it moves the story along to where it's changing and challenging your characters (provoking change, building tension/conflict), then include the necessary scenes in your book. On the other hand, how do you know when a scene's over? Whether you're w...
