| romantic short stories for adults: Romancing the Beat Gwen Hayes, 2016 What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a beat check when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books. |

Magic Flirts! features five short, fun romances laced with enchanted elements. The stories stand alone but are connected when read together. Each story is between 9,000 and 13,000 words—perfect for lunch breaks or kids’ sports practices. But don’t be surprised if you read them in one sitting! The collection is 50,000 words total. If you get hooked on these fun reads—good news! There are nine other Flirts! volumes and more to come. As Flirts! fans say: “Simply wonderful.” “… a fun mix of sexy and romantic.” “Lisa Scott somehow packs a big story into less pages.” “I couldn't put it down for anything in the world.” “I hate short stories but I loved these.” “I found a new addiction. FLIRTS!!!!” Stories in this volume include: “Hex Addict” Short story #1: 9000 words Vicky is a witch who enjoys that special feeling she gets when casting love spells on humans. Handsome Drake is an enforcer in the witching world who opposes her work. When he accuses her of being a hex addict, her love spell backfires and hits the two of them. Now that these enemies are smitten, Vicky wonders whether she wants the spell reversed. “The Ghost’s Guide to Dating” Short story #2: 9000 words Julie can see ghosts, including her grandmother, who insists she play matchmaker for her friends in the afterworld. When these golden ghouls aren’t haunting strip clubs, they’re busy meddling in their families’ love lives. But when one ghost asks Julie to set up her granddaughter with a handsome guy at a wedding, Julie decides she wants him for herself. Now Julie must either face the wrath of an angry spirit, or give up a guy she’s fallen for. “Cupid School Dropout” Short story #3: 10,000 words In order to obtain immortality, Val is training to become one of Cupid’s agents, and his final exam is a doozy. He has to help jaded Jacey find love, even though she’s convinced she doesn’t want it. But when he falls for her, there’s a big price for Val to pay if he wants to be with her forever. “Charmed” Short story #4: 9,000 words Alana makes a wish on a love charm that she buys at an antique store: she wants to find a redheaded Scotsman like the character in a favorite book. The next day, her wish seems to have come true when she meets Doug—he’s tall, has red hair, and a killer Scottish accent. Unfortunately, Doug has a secret that threatens to ruin everything. Is there any way to save their charmed romance? “Dream Guy” Short story #5: 13,000 words Occasionally, Kim has “shiny” dreams that come true. And she’s been having one about her future groom—a guy she’s never met—for years. But when she bumps into him one day, he runs away from her. In fact, he runs every time he sees her. Which is often, since she keeps bumping into him in the strangest places. What’s this guy got against Kim anyway, and how is she going to marry a man who won’t even speak to her?
