Women's Fiction
Love is supposed to be the happy ending. Maybe it's only
the beginning.... Fashionable Sophie Mills was a corporate
manager on a fast track to success. Then, in the space of
a heartbeat -- the time it takes for a car to crash -- two
little girls, Bella and Izzy, her best friend's daughters,
change her life forever. Named as guardian in their
father's absence, Sophie discovers that the soft touch of
a little girl's hand can be far more precious than a
closet full of expensive clothes or an exciting job. And
when their father Louis returns, the word "family" takes
on a whole new significance, as Sophie finds herself
deeply attracted to this handsome, mysterious man. Moving
to Cornwall to be with Louis and the girls is a
deliriously, frighteningly adventurous start to a whole
new life for Sophie. When Louis proposes marriage, Bella
and Izzy immediately vault into bridesmaid ecstasy, but
Sophie is besieged by doubt. Is marrying Louis, who left
one wife before, the natural next step...or a scary
mistake? Can she honor her promise to the girls to be
there always, forever, whatever? When startling news from
Louis's past takes them all by surprise, can these
individuals brought together by chance and tragedy make
the commitment that a family is forever? From the
sensational Rowan Coleman, whose witty and deeply moving
novels have won hearts on both sides of the Atlantic,
comes a thought-provoking new tale of love, choices, and
the true meaning of family.

Re: The Accidental Family
Good luck with the new baby, they are worth it though aren't they? Everything will get sorted out between the two of you eventually so that you have some time to write

I can truly sympathize since i experienced the exhausting joy of having a baby so recently. My baby girl is about to become 3 years old in October and is still quite the handful. They are worth it. There is nothing quite like a little girl snuggling up to you and saying she loves you. Just melts my heart.
(Cherie Japp 11:00am September 23, 2009)
Congratulations on the new baby. I've never had one myself but I had young siblings and often babysat babies. Even my heart did a lot of "melting" when I took care of them. When I see babies when I'm shopping, I love to have a closer look at them. I'd dearly have loved to have one of my own.
But yes, life does go on while you have them to take care of. I wish you much joy and blessings.

I thoroughly understand how to squeeze in moments of attention to details in writing a few words in between caring for kids and a household. My hat's off to you.
(Alyson Widen 12:17pm September 23, 2009)
You'll figure it all out when everything falls into a routine. Remember to enjoy every precious moment with your kids because before you know it, they're teenagers, then off to college. The time with my kids was over in the blink of an eye, thank heavens for grandchildren.

Congratulations! I know you must be so tired, please do get some rest when Freddie sleeps.

I never thought about the emotional state of pregnancy having an effect on writing, but it makes perfect sense.
My 20 month old (only) granddaughter & family just moved back home with me & my hubby. I'm having a great time loving her....but I can't get anything done. And boy, am I tired. I'd forgotten how much work babies are.
My hat goes off to you for getting any writing done!!!
But don't work to hard and take the time to enjoy your new bundle...they are only tiny for such a short time.
Congrats!!!

My children made me challenge who I am. I grew in ways I would never have imagined. I continue to evolve & I am loving it. Enjoy!!
(Mary Preston 7:04pm September 23, 2009)
Congratulations on the new addition. When our daughter was born I couldn't get any time off (don't ask!). I found a baby sitter through a very good friend and every day I would leave the house when she arrived. When I got home she left, so I can relate to the "no time". We finally developed a schedule - of sorts. I got most of my work done at night. You'ld be surprised how much weight you can lose when you don't get any sleep :>)
(Karin Tillotson 8:12pm September 23, 2009)
Congratulations on your new baby. It has been many years since my children were small, but the memory of that sleepless period have never left me. Good luck with your new book! I know that you will preserve and it will make sense when you're done.
(Rosemary Krejsa 8:47pm September 23, 2009)
Congratulations on Freddie!
It has been 18 years since my last baby but I remember the sleepless nights, walking into walls because you close your eyes just to rest them on your way to the baby's room. I also remember not sleeping when the baby slept because the housework needed to be done and the stack of laundry was turning into a living breathing thing.
Freddie won't be little very long, so enjoy your precious little bundle while he allows you too.
(Gigi Hicks 8:50pm September 23, 2009)
Oh, the sleepless nights. It has been a
long while, but I had 2 our of three
that didn't believe in sleeping. Freddie
isn't that bad. You'll learn to work
around him and your daughter's
schedule. Enjoy them while you can.
My youngest is 26 and I can't believe it
has been that long since he'd wake up
at 3 AM and be good to go for the
day.
(Patricia Barraclough 10:29pm September 23, 2009)
Congratulations on the birth of your baby
boy! Remember to take the time to record
every little milestone. They only come
once and need to be celebrated and
recorded for the future.

I remember those days..LOL.. No sleep, housework behind, constantly washing clothes, (cloth diapers back then)ironing those little dresses plus the big mans duds..I stayed exhausted and waited 6 yrs before having my son. Then decided that was it. Boys are exact opposites of girls..But you love them just as much. I kept a kind of diary after my marriage and up until my divorce after 23 yrs(24 yrs ago)and have kinda sorta written a few words or lines every so often since then. I even began 4 stories and since I retired in Dec 08 I hope to finished at least one of them next yr (early). I stay busy now reading and gardening and surfing.. Have discovered so many new authors since I found Fresh Fiction site. Just give it time and you will be back on schedule with your book.
I did get 3 articles published in Local News Paper so I am published..LOL...
