This book was the friends-to-lovers story done right. This was my first Scottish/Cornish (And Amy Daws) Romance novel and if they are all like this – I’m hooked. I loved it from the beginning to the end. Now they’re both about to learn the biggest lesson of all: Don't fall in love with your best friend.īlindsided is a full length (97,000 words) contemporary rom-com standalone with a sports theme. What neither of them see coming are the feelings that develop when the clothes come off. However, after one innocent game of Never Have I Ever, Mac offers to play Love Coach for Freya. She's plus-sized in body and spirit, and other than her friendship with Mac, talking to the opposite sex is one skill she never mastered. But when an adorable, freckled seamstress comes barreling into his life, he finds Netflix-And-Bickering with her to be his new favorite pastime.įreya Cook is used to being the invisible woman with a needle and thread, offering cheeky punchlines as she helps dress London's finest. Midfielder Maclay "Mac" Logan is a loud-mouthed, tattooed ginger content with focusing on football. Lots of banter, awkwardness, jealousy, and heat. What happens when an almost 30-year-old virgin agrees to let her Scottish footballer best friend give her some lessons in seduction? The extended Q-range and low statistical noise of these measurements has significantly reduced truncation effects and related errors in the g(r) functions obtained. The oxygen-hydrogen contribution to the measured x-ray scattering pattern was subtracted using literature data to yield an experimental determination, with error bars, of the oxygen-oxygen pair-distribution function, g(r), which essentially describes the distribution of molecular centers. Sources of uncertainty from statistical noise, Q-range, Compton scattering, and self-scattering are discussed. Each of these measurements represents a significant development of the x-ray diffraction technique applied to the study of liquid water. Four recent x-ray diffraction measurements of ambient liquid water are reviewed here. I started Summerlong in 2000 - or maybe it was 2001 it’s hard to be certain with that one. I’m glad of that book, for a lot of reasons.īut Summerlong. That’s the one I still reread - not The Last Unicorn - during the bad days, when I’m convinced that I’ll never again write a sentence that can possibly mean anything to any human being. And my favorite, The Innkeeper’s Song, was plotted in India, during siestas, and seems to have flown to completion back in the States. The Folk of the Air took 18 years, and four complete rewrites, on and off. It only seemed to take forever - I still think of it as an endless nightmare of revision, and would never have imagined it becoming the book known by people who don’t know I ever wrote anything else. I started The Last Unicorn in the summer of 1962, and published it in 1968. I See by My Outfit- an account of a 1963 motorscooter voyage from New York City to Palo Alto with my lifelong painter friend Phil Sigunick - took five or six months, and was probably the most fun I’ve ever had writing a book. My first novel, A Fine and Private Place, took me a year, starting in the summer when I was a music counselor at a children’s camp and ending the following September, when I left for the requisite young-writer-wandering-Europe year. I never know how long a book or a story is going to take me to write. |
