Ever wonder how creatives make art out of nothing? It's amazing to think about, isn't it? Authors, painters, musicians, they had an idea and they turned that whisper of a notion into a tangible thing. Something they could touch, or read, or listen to. It makes you wonder what else can be manifested if you let your imagination run a little bit wild.

Have I introduced myself? I am future best-selling author Jill Brashear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've heard manifesting my desires works, so I am giving it a go! Gotta get those hopes and dreams out there front and center for all to see and uplift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I write steamy love stories that will sweep you away on a mini-vacation. I love a good book boyfriend, preferably someone a little on the nerdy side with a six-pack. Sexy settings are my thing! My heroines are smart, ambitious, fully empowered women who can handle any alpha who comes her way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year I will publish two books, a novella in an anthology, and an original serial romance dolled out one chapter at a time to my newsletter subscribers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to read the first chapter of the book I'm working on? Comment below or message me. 😄😄

My best days are still to come as long as I've got Mickey on my side.
He fills our lives with joy and makes us all remember to sleep in as much as possible.

My first bookboyfriend was Todd from Sweet Valley High. He was the star of the basketball team. He was tall, blonde, and had a heart of gold.
When I started writing my first novel, I wanted to create the ideal book boyfriend.
Hawaiian surfer Keoni Makai was the result. He's a hero, a loyal family man, a talented musician, and a charming storyteller. He embodies the Hawaiian spirit of aloha.

Hello? 2021, are you there? Can you hear me?
The word for the year is THRIVE.

I'm welcoming in the new year, but I don't want to sweep 2020 under the table without saying I am grateful for the things I learned.
What did you learn in 2020?

I tried something sort of new. I haven’t been shooting in a few decades. The last time went was on a date with my husband. Now we’ve been together 20 years.
Wow! It seems like yesterday I was nervous to mess up in front of him. I don’t have to impress him anymore. He loves me whether I hit the targets or not.
And I’m happy to say my aim has improved!!

I’ve had a couple of different careers in my life. Waitress, paralegal, mom, exercise instructor, seamstress. I like to reinvent myself on a regular basis. It keeps things fresh.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I’ve always been is a writer. I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a part of me I’ll never give up. What defines you that can’t be taken away?

I have super-exciting news about this little gem of a novel! It's going to be an audiobook! If you love listening to your books in the car, in the kitchen, in the shower (YESS I do that!), then get ready for a treat! Narrator and arrival date coming soon!

I used to think of myself as unorganized. I’m a true 7 on the Enneagram. I’m not much of a planner, and I love to live in the moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two years ago when I started my journey as an author, I was winging it. I didn’t plan. I didn’t structure. But I’m realizing I did organize.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It surprised me to dig up my first manuscript and see the same sticky note with First Draft scrawled in ink. I’ve done that with every book and didn’t realize it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe there is hope for this self-proclaimed scatterbrained woman after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you plan and organize or do you surprise yourself?

This might be Christmas Card worthy. Thankful to be surrounded by my favorite people on this beautiful day.

Tomorrow at this time I will be getting ready to sit down to a feast of no less than seven dishes with my wonderful family. Am I stressed about setting the perfect table or cooking a delectable meal?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe a little. But then again, this is my family. My family doesn't mind if I burn the turkey, or undercook the potatoes. They love me for the terrible cook I am. Plus I will ply them with mimosas and wine. Lots and lots of wine.

My characters call to me. They beg to be written. They want their stories told. In the back of mind, they wait-ready to pounce when my mind wanders.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear you. I’m listening. I can’t wait to share you with the world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Book Three in the Aloha Series coming in April 2021.

I’ve always wanted to travel the world , but sometimes the best views are in our own backyard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so lucky to live in the Carolinas where we have the best of every season. Right now it’s still warm enough for shorts on a sunny day in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These views inspired me to write a series about love set in my beautiful state of North Carolina.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite thing about where you live?
