M.J. Eason | Do Overs
Do you ever wish you could go back in time and simply erase the parts of your
life that suck? I think we all have parts of our past that we wish would go
away. I know I do. Iβd like to wipe away the time when I was a kid and our
little neighborhood gang threw rocks at the ice cream truck. At the time, it
seemed like a good idea. Now, I donβt know what we were thinking. Needless to
say, we got in trouble.
The Oxford Dictionary defines a do over as this: An opportunity to try or
perform something a second time.
Sounds good, doesnβt it?
Suppose you hate your career choice. Poof, push the do over button and youβre
back on track. Your old career path is not even a distant memory. Did you make
the wrong choice in houses? No problem, just hit the do over button and bamβ¦do
over. Bad man choiceβ¦well, you get the idea.
Wouldnβt it be nice to simply erase those bad things from our lives and never
have to go through the heartaches they can bring? I can think of a few things
Iβd like to change. People Iβd like to erase from my life and never miss.
Or maybe your do over would be something about your personality that bugs you.
Just think if you could become a different person, just by erasing those bad
personality traits.
Iβm an introvert, so for me, Iβd love to be more outgoing and not worry so much
about what others think of me. If youβre overly timid, maybe youβd like to be
more daring. Climb that mountain. Make that life move. Live fearless.
There have been many times in the past that Iβve wished that I could have a do
over when I opened my mouth and said something foolish without thinking first.
Well, the do over button is kind of the premise behind THIRTY LESSONS LEARNED, my
latest Totally Bound release.
For my heroine, Paige Wilder, the first big event to happen that has profound
consequences on her life comes when she decides to attend a masquerade ball on
her thirty-ninth birthday and meets the man who will change her life. The only
problem is, heβs her much-younger boss who sheβs heard some nasty rumors about.
When Paige comes face to face with her mystery man and learns heβs her new boss,
well, things get a little sticky. She tries to convince herself she wants only a
superficial relationship with Jude, but the more time they spend together, the
more she finds herself falling for him.
Jude is very open about what he wants. Heβs not in it for a lasting
relationship. So what will happen when their romance ends and they are forced to
see each other every day?
Soon, meeting Jude has Paige wishing she could have a do over and wipe the night
she spent in his arms right out of her memory. That is until she gets to know
the real Jude Martin and realizes he is nothing like the man she believes him to be.
So what about you? If you had the chance to have a do over in your life, what
would it be? A new career? Different home? Better man? Or maybe youβd simply
want to not throw rocks at the ice cream truck.
All the best
MJ Eason
Experience has shown Paige Wilder that relationships end badly, so sheβs
not looking for another. That is, until she meets Jude Martin.
Itβs been said that life is just a series of events with consequences. On
their own, they donβt add up to much. But when you put them together, you never
know where theyβll end up taking you or what the outcome will be.
Paige Wilderβs game changer happens when sheβs dumped by a boring guy who
finds her to be too boring. What?
Paige decides sheβs done with men. She has several good friends, she lives in
one of the most exciting cities in the world and she has a perfect companion to
come home to at nightβher little dog Sammy. Who needs a man? At least thatβs
what Paige thinks, until she attends a masquerade ball and ends up meeting the
man of her dreamsβwho just happens to be her new boss.
MJ Eason grew up in a small Texas town famous for, well not much of anything
really. Being the baby of the family and quite a bit younger than her brothers
and sister, MJ had plenty of time to entertain herself. Making up stories seem
to come natural to her. As a pre-teen, MJ discovered romance novels and knew
instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination.
She wrote her first novel as a teen, (itβs tucked away somewhere never to see
the light of day), but never really pursued her writing career seriously until a
few years later, when she wrote her first romantic comedy and was hooked. Today,
MJ still lives in Texas, and still writes about romance. In fact, she canβt
think of anything else sheβd rather do.
