Minuette Sinclair thought her biggest problem was getting out of her aunt’s finishing school as a proper Victorian lady. But now she’s pretending to be engaged and her fake fiancé is in debt up to his neck. What's more, her father is in a Caribbean jail, falsely accused of murder. A legendary lost necklace might be their salvation and Min is determined to find it.

But master thief Bryant Westley is after the necklace too and has every intention of seducing his quirky and beautiful competition. He offers to partner up in the search - even though Min is a distraction he can't afford. Min can’t refuse Bryant’s offer either – even when she realizes she's fallen in love with Bryant. Bryant fears he can't double cross the young lady he's come to love.

Can they find the necklace together and admit their love before it's too late?

So You Have to Write Poetry: a Guide for the Non-Poetic
(Coming Summer 2014)

Poetry is one of the most daunting subjects to learn. Even those who like to read poetry may balk at having to write it. Yet at some point, every student must not only learn about different poetic forms, but try their hand at penning a few.

Students of poetry generally fall into three categories: those who love poetry and want to write it, those who are mildly interested or indifferent about poetry, and those who hate it with a passion but have to pass the class anyway. Let's face it. The vast majority of students out there have no desire to read, let alone write, a poem. They see poetry as a form of sanctioned torture they must endure in order to pass their course. But they have little choice in the matter and to pass they need to know exactly how to recreate and understand the forms they study.

While there are many excellent textbooks and guidebooks on poetry, these tend to be geared toward advanced students or writers with some knowledge of (and passion for) the subject. They focus on the inspiration behind poetry, linguistic tools like imagery, symbolism, and metaphors to implement, and discuss the history and rules of the different poetic forms - all very important issues. But these books often present this information without supplying an actual writing guide for the student.

For poetry-loving students, these books can provide valuable lessons on the finer intricacies of the craft, but may leave them confused as to the actual mechanics behind some of their favorite forms. And for those students a little less poetically inclined? Detailed discussions about inspiration and literary poetic tools will not only go over their heads, they'll be ducking and covering with both hands.

So You Have to Write Poetry is designed to not only help students get through poetry assignments by showing them how to write two dozen different forms of poetry, but also shows poetic skeptics how to enjoy the act of writing poetry. It gives novices an easy-to-read guide with simple step-by-step processes and fun examples to follow and gives more advanced poets a technical guide to the rules behind all their favorite poetic forms.

So You Have to Write Poetry includes information on twenty-four forms of poetry, overviews on poetry basics like meter and rhyme scheme, and a section with detailed examples on how to analyze a poem. This book is a wonderful writing guide because:

•Each chapter is written in a fun, conversational tone with amusing examples.
•Each chapter includes detailed, easy to understand instructions and cheat sheets that outline the rules for each form of poetry.
•It presents tips, steps, and information in a manner simple enough for a junior high student to understand, yet thorough enough to assist a graduate student.
•It allows non-student users, such as freelance writers, bloggers, or the Average Joe who wants to write his sweetheart a poem, to utilize the information in this book even if they have never set foot inside a language arts class.
•It is well-suited for learning disabled students because of the user-friendly format and easy to follow instructions.
•It is written in a format that enables readers to quickly skim for the information they need without bogging them down in unnecessary pages of confusing material.

So You Have to Write Poetry will help those who just want to get through their class by giving them exactly what they need to complete their assignments while also providing a valuable guide to the technical rules behind structured poetic forms for more advanced writers who want to write poetry. No matter which category a student falls into, this book will be an asset in their educational arsenals.
