Do you remember how fun it was to play truth or dare? Sitting in my best friend's basement with all of our friends, girls and guys, drinking beer for the first time, playing games like spin the bottle, telephone, and the most dangerous of all—𝒯𝓇𝓊𝓉𝒽 𝑜𝓇 𝒟𝒶𝓇𝑒?
I always picked DARE, because TRUTH was too hard. What if someone asked me something I didn't want to share? Something that hit too close to home? Something I couldn't lie about? I'm not a good liar, but I would do anything for a dare.

Do you think I should have Try Easy made into an audiobook? I've been hesitant because it is set in Hawaii, and I wanted to find the right narrator. And also because it is my first book, and it might take some revisions to get to audiobook level.
What do you think? I'm scared, but should I do it anyway?

I used to run a lot. 5ks, 10ks, half marathons, marathons—I've tried all of these distances. I never went for one of those ultras. I'm not that dedicated. But any distance you commit to requires training.
This quote got me through a lot of training runs. It reminded me to focus on each step I took, not the finish line.
Spring always brings back the urge to "pound the pavement," is how I so affectionately thought of running.
The misty mornings and blossoming cherry trees invite me to pick up my running journey again.
Should I heed the call?

The final manuscript of Try Right has gone off to the proofreader. My eyes are bleeding from staring at my screen and making all the corrections. If you need me, I'll be taking a nap.

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 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.
