I am excited to have Quint Emm Ellis sharing her thoughts about being a writer.
Starting out in the world of writing is such an exciting adventure. As a self-publisher, it’s been quite the learning curve in every arena. It’s also been an amazing opportunity to connect with new friends and fans of stories that I’ve come to love myself.
“For Better & For Worse” is the third installment in my latest series “The Sisterhood of the Tiny House Revolution”. This series peeks into the intertwining love stories of four ladies who’ve become fast-friends and have fallen for the men helping them achieve their dreams. I’ve always appreciated the fact that many of our own tales overlap with that of another, most times in ways in which we are unaware. In this series, I hoped to allude to that reality; that an integral aspect of one person’s love story could show up as a barely noted absence in someone else’s. In the final installment of this series, I intend to continue that, hopefully subtle, trend.
My latest novel, “For Better & For Worse” is a second-chance love story featuring two people who were faced with difficult realizations and difficult choices. This is my second novel boasting a “Second Chance” theme, and I was pleased to have an opportunity to explore this fun dynamic. My favorite part of the book is when the two ex-love birds reminisce about their past; but do so in a manner that was rather fun for me to orchestrate.
We all have a beginning to the many stories that make up our lives. I look forward to looking back, one day, and enjoying the journey that transformed me from a reader to a reader and an author.
For Better & For Worse by Quint Emm Ellis
GENRE: Christian Romance
BLURB
These
ex-lovebirds are busy building a nest for one. But can she be convinced to make
room for him, too?
Despite attending the same congregation and
university, Ashe and Stephen’s circles had never seemed to cross.
One class project changed everything…for the
better; until secrecy and youthful indiscretion pulled them apart.
Will an unexpectant reunion in their adult years
allow Ashe and Stephen to rewrite a history riddled with regret and
heartbreaking choices?
EXCERPT
“It’s open, Dear. Come on in. We’re all in the backyard,” she heard an unfamiliar woman’s voice say over the doorbell’s integrated camera and intercom system.
“Oh,” she responded, bending down a bit to look into the camera as she resettled the pan in both hands. Unsure if the ghost that’d just occupied the device was still there, she decided to err on the side of caution and manners. “Thank you.”
Rebalancing her offering on one hand, she wrapped her free hand around the cool, metal door knob. The scent of bar-b-que, the sound of laughter and an overwhelming sense of home and comfort greeted her as she took her first steps inside the cozy home. Her shoulders relaxed as she continued to follow the sounds of something sizzling on the grill and of voices that felt both familiar and foreign.
“Ashe?”
Though Ashe paused, the hairs on her skin slowly stood on end.
That didn’t sound like Josiah or Liam. And yet, she recognized that man’s voice from somewhere. She tilted her head to one side, blinking through a fog of memory.
“Ashe,” the voice insisted.
Recognition rippled down Ashe’s spine; she knew who was standing just a few feet behind her.
And if she could have just kept walking, she would have; but her body betrayed her— turning of its own volition to meet the source.
The world became dull except for the man who carefully stood from his chair, tossing his book upon the seat’s cushion before striding toward Ashe. He stood in sharp contrast against the scenery that seemed to have become a blur. When he stopped, he was so close she could catch a faint whiff of soap intertwined with a husky, sweet aroma.
He changed colognes, came the wayward thought in Ashe’s mind.
AUTHOR Bio and Links
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
– Toni Morrison
Quint Emm Ellis enjoys penning plots centering around unabashedly nerdy, introverted, cinnamon-roll mantic, passionate, fallible women who happen to be black, who happen to be Christian, and who happen to love an uplifting and, possibly, inspirational story.
She enjoys listening to audio books, watching movies, finding great deals and spoiling her cat and dog rotten. Her dream is to be able to walk around in loose pajama pants all day and geek out while mastering niche crafts like music production, film editing and electro etching.
