The FOO will do it every time...
Thanks
Mahrie for having me as a guest on your blog! I first met Mahrie at
Alberta Romance Writers’ Association. We’re not all romance writers as
the name would tease, but a group of folks dedicated to the craft of
writing in many different genres. Our group just happens to have a
romance history.
Which
is a nice segue into FOO (Family of Origin). For better or worse, FOO
can continue to impact us well after we have flown the proverbial coop.
And it makes excellent tension in stories.
Characters reacting to their FOO can be as dramatic, comical and emotional as we are when rolling with our own family of origin.
Kiss Me in the Rain is book one of the Tanner Family Series,
which showcases the adult children of messy-divorced parents. I’ll be honest, while
writing I laughed, I cried and thoroughly enjoyed the amazing journey
the characters took me on.
Happy Reading, Happy Writing!

KISS ME IN THE RAIN
Glaciologist
Savannah MacIntyre was happy with her life far away from her family. But
sometimes life has a way of bringing you back home when you least expect it and
most need it. When the opportunity to reconnect with her estranged dad comes
up, she takes it. Then finds herself distracted from her turmoil by ex-CSIS
agent turned archaeologist Gabe Tanner, who would rather get another bullet to
the head than reconcile with his own father. Family betrayal has taught both
Savannah and Gabe not to trust, or love, which makes navigating their mutual
attraction on a remote archaeological survey beyond frustrating. But somewhere
between roaring fathers and dense spruce forests, they let go of the past and
learn that love doesn’t care who the extended family is.
MORE ABOUT SARAH
Sarah Kades loves writing romantic fiction where nature, humor and
love meet. She has a lingering fascination with helicopters from her days as an
archaeologist, but it is great writing inspiration, so she’s not too worried.
Her first publication was the novella Claiming
Love, followed by the short story Duke
Out at the Diner. Kiss Me in the Rain
is her first full-length novel. It is Book One of The Tanner Family Series, a
five book series set in western Canada. When she is not writing, she is
playing, usually outside, with her family or planning their next adventure.
