MUSE MONDAY
Please welcome Kay Harris to my blog today. In my opinion, scene setting is so important and Kay has a real handle on that!
Thank you so much for having me, Brenda! My muse for many of
my books, but most poignantly for my recent release “Lost on the Road to Love”
is the art of travel and the amazing places it has taken me to. Book 2 of the I Want Morrison series takes place on a
travel show where the hero and heroine take their trek to love across the globe
in a heart-filled adventure.
Rather than go into each of the sites Henry and Chelsea
visit on their journey. I would like to talk about the city that starts it all,
the city our protagonists call home. It is none other than the City by the Bay.
I have a love affair with San Francisco that comes out clearly in the four
books of the series, all of which take place at least partly in that beautiful
Northern California metropolis.
Like the fog that envelops it, San Francisco is blanketed in
an indefinable essence. The city itself has a soul that is both rough and raw
while at the same time regal and refined. For visitors, there are myriad ways
to explore all it has to offer.
First off, there is so much more than the Wharf. Sure,
everyone has to see it. But once you’ve done it, leave that behind and go
exploring. Still near the shore but closer to downtown there’s Coit Tower, the
iconic Ferry building, which houses restaurants and shops and often has a
farmer’s market right out front, and the long stretch of the Embarcadero. Turn
inland and walk down Market street. Check out the venders, and frequently, the
entertainment found there. Follow that or take the streetcar to Chinatown and
the Civic Center area. See the amazing city hall, symphony hall, and opera
house. Don’t forget all the great museums including the Museum of Modern Art,
the Museum of the African Diaspora, and the Contemporary Jewish Museum. Deeper
still into the heart of the city is Golden Gate Park. This gorgeous stretch of
nature and peace features yet more incredible museums as well as the
Conservatory of Flowers and the Botanical Gardens.
Add to the cultural wonders San Francisco has to offer
amazing food, great shopping, and public transportation that can take you
anywhere you want to go, and you have one incredible trip.
If you think I’m in love with the city that Karl the Fog
likes to eat up each morning, you’re right. And my books serve as a love story
to the city itself. San Francisco, she is my Monday Muse!
Blurb:
Take two best friends, add some
benefits, and it may take a map to find their way to love.
On the
road for eight months as part of the crew for a travel show, Chelsea Morrison
expects to work hard, endure long nights, and enjoy some wicked adventures. But
she doesn’t expect to fall head over heels for the show’s star.
Henry
Rush, son of a legendary rock star, is leery of women. He learned early they
only want him for the fame that rightly belongs to his father. But when an
intense friendship with Chelsea leads to so much more, he has to confront the
one thing he’s avoided all his life.
Can
these two friends navigate their way to a happy ending?
Excerpt:
I
rested my hand on my hip. “Are you saying you find me
irresistibly attractive?”
“Yes.” He gave a firm nod. There was no mirth in his eyes or in the set
of his mouth.
I narrowed my gaze and scrutinized him. “I thought it was because we’re
so close, remember.”
“Yes. And you’re insanely hot.”
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
I shook my head.
“Wanna make a bet on it?” he challenged.
“What?”
“You get naked for me. And if I am disappointed, you win the bet. If
you’re as hot as I think you are under those clothes, I win. In fact, I already
know what I want if I win. I want to see one of the films you’ve made.”
I stared at him, my mouth agape.
“What do you want if you win, Chels? Not that it matters. Because you
won’t win.”
I finally found my voice. Because I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.
“If I win, you sing for me.”
“Done.” He settled farther into the couch. “I’m ready when you are.”
