First Love @Natalieann121 #mgtab

Do you remember your first love?

I do. I married him! That’s right, I married my first love, who I met when I was 13 and he was 16. We started dating and have been together ever since. We’ll be married 25 years this May and it’s been the best 25 years of my life!

But not everyone has their first love so young. Or do they marry them. That’s the case in my newest book from the Love Collection, First Love.

Lauren Towne has had a tough life. A good work ethic and a lot of determination are the keys to changing her lot in life. The last thing she needs to focus on or worry about is her new sexy boss that might just end up making all her hard work vanish in the air when he realizes how attracted she is to him.

Jace Stratton always knew he’d be the heir to his father’s grocery store empire. But before that happened, he was determined to make a name for himself. When his “rule with an iron fist” father falls ill, he finds his timeline pushed up faster than he’d hoped for. Now he’s out to prove that even though he’s falling for an employee, he’s nothing at all like his father and never will be.

You can purchase First Love for just 99 cents or read for free on Kindle Unlimited.

First Love is also part of the Sweet & Sassy Cinderella collection which will be up for pre-order soon! Keep an eye out for it!

2018 Equals 16 New Releases! #mgtab @Natalieann121

Yes, you read that right. I released sixteen new books in 2018!! Talk about shocking myself!

I set a goal for myself to release twelve. One book a month. Most were going to be novellas. What I forgot was I had several series going and I couldn’t put them on the backburner either. Like most authors, we get attached to the families we write about and they were screaming in my head to let them out.

My sixteenth book will be released on December 18th. Winter Love.

Most of the books for the year were novellas that were part of the Love Collection. Nine of them to be exact. Each book is only 99 cents or can be read for free on Kindle Unlimited. And each book is a stand alone story of love, romance, and happy ever after. You can read them in any order that you want.

Five of the books that were released were part of my Fierce Five Series. I’ve really come to love this family! So much so, in 2019, I decided to expand it to the Fierce Family with all their cousins. It’s a big family and will take some time, but I’m thrilled to get it started.

I also released one book from my All Series and one from my Lake Placid Series. I can’t seem to let these families go either, so in 2019, I’m going to revisit them and put a book or two out for them too.

Will I release sixteen books in 2019 again? My guess is no. Most of the books I’m going to focus on will be novels for my series, which take longer to write. That being said, I’d still like to release a book a month next year and once I set a goal for myself… I almost always achieve it!!

My Favorite Time of Year! #mgtab @NatalieAnn121

My Favorite Time Of Year!

What is your favorite time of year? Do you even have one?

In Upstate NY most people are begging for spring after a cold winter. But oftentimes we don’t get a spring and it jumps right into summer. That is how it seemed to happen this year.

There was a record number of days over 90 and we even hit 100 a few times. We had 4 days over 90 just last week and frankly, I’m sick of it.

But now it’s September and I’m looking forward to my favorite time of year.  Fall!!

Nice days and cool nights. Sleeping with the windows opened. Football Sundays and best of all apple picking!

It’s a tradition I’ve had with my son since he was a toddler. We’d go once in September, pick a big bag of apples and I’d come home and make apple sauce and his favorite apple cake. I only make it once a year since it’s such a rich decadent dessert.

I love Fall so much, I just released a new book this week, Autumn Love. It’s based around a beloved community’s apple orchard. When the orchard got to be too much for Ali Rogers’ mom to handle she decided to sell it. Liam Sullivan is a contractor that wanted to bring the orchard back to life and found that it’s more than a business venture when he falls for Ali. Add in Ali’s meddling grandfather’s ghost and it’s a great book to curl up with!

This story has so many things in it that I love personally and I hope that you will too. It’s just 99 cents, or FREE to read on Kindle Unlimited.

And if you want to try out my famous Apple Cake, here is the recipe for you!

3 cups of flour

4 teaspoons of cinnamon

2 teaspoons of nutmeg

1 teaspoon of baking soda

½ teaspoon of baking powder

3 eggs

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of oil

1 teaspoon of vanilla

4 cups of diced apples (no skin)

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside
  • Beat eggs, then add sugar and oil
  • Add vanilla and then the dry ingredients
  • Once all is mixed well, add the apples. Mix until blended, but not until the apples are broken up. Using the mixer will bring some of the juices of the apples out and make the cake extremely moist, but you still want to leaves some small chunks in it.
  • Pour into a greased 13 x 9 cake pan
  • Bake at 350 for an hour (test by sticking a toothpick in the center. If batter comes away, continue to cook until the toothpick is clean)
  • Frost with vanilla or cream cheese frosting
  • Cover and keep at room temperature for about a week

Enjoy!

Summer Reading by Natalie Ann #mgtab

Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

Now that summer has officially hit most of the US and school is out, people tend to have vacation plans.

Are you looking for a quick book to read while you’re sunbathing by the pool? How about in the hot tub with a glass of wine next to you? By a campfire at night while roasting marshmallows?

I used to love reading longer novels, but lately, I find I enjoy the shorter novellas. Some can take less than an hour to read, others just two to three hours.

It’s a great way to pass a little bit of time and read a book from start to finish all at once…while sitting on the beach under an umbrella.

It finally hit me. If I enjoyed reading them so much, why not try to write some?

So that is what I did. In April I published the first of my Love Collection and have released one a month since. All my novellas are stand-alone stories that are a collection rather than a series. They can be read in any order and usually within two to three hours. The best part is, they are only 99 cents each! And if you’re part of Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program you can read them for free.

Check them out and enjoy!
