Today we have Jane Ainslie with us and are asking her, What's your
motivation to write & what's next on the writing block?
Hi Krista, thanks so much for having me on your
blog.
I’ve always loved telling stories, so it seemed
natural to want to be a writer. Finding the motivation to write was easy at
first, and writing was very exciting. Then came the downside of rejection
letters, self doubt, and after eventual publication, the realisation of how
much work is involved in writing. Getting
your writing noticed is hard. To get back to the original question, for me motivation
comes from a love of writing, and the joy of storytelling (not the thought of a
million dollar book deal!) And as everyone says, you have to be motivated to
learn your craft and make each book you write, better than your last.
I had so much fun writing Her Sister’s Wedding, I’m
going to write another romance for my next project. Typing away at your computer
while creating a world where people falling in love, now there’s some
motivation to write!

Her
Sister’s Wedding
By
Jane Ainslie
A
Sweet Contemporary Foodie Romance (Chicklit)
BLURB FOR HER SISTER’S WEDDING:
What happens when you meet the
right person at the wrong time?
Melbourne-based food journalist
Mandy Evans has Paris firmly in her sights. She’s got a chance at her life-long
dream of studying art in the City of Love, but not before she has to be a
ring-in bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding.
After setting up his latest
restaurant in Melbourne, renowned American chef Jake Pearson is leaving for his
next project in Miami. He’s the hottest ticket in anyone’s town, with a burning
ambition to conquer the world, but not before he’s best man at his friend’s
wedding.
When
Mandy and Jake meet, the attraction is instant. He loves her sassy, natural
style, and her appetite for great food. She thinks he’s the best thing since
sliced bread, or even martinis. Fate gives them a chance at love when they are
partners at the same wedding, but can either of them compromise their ambitions
to let love grow?

Excerpt:
“You have a bit
of sauce on your mouth.” He reached out with his finger and traced it along her
top lip, removing the imaginary sauce. Mandy shuddered as Jake took her face in
his hands, turned it towards him, and kissed her. This time, the intensity of
the kiss sent every nerve in her body into overdrive as the longing and desire
fired throughout her. Jake moved his hand down her back, pulling her closer
along the length of his body. She could feel his desire for her pressing
against her, and she moaned as his tongue slid between her lips. Reaching up,
she grabbed his hair, pulling him closer to her, while the intensity of the
kiss stopped time in its tracks, but unfortunately, not the burner on the
stove.
“Oh no, the sauce!” Jake broke away as they both turned to look at the
saucepan. The sauce had black, burnt bits floating in it.
“That looks like something I would cook.” Mandy leaned against Jake,
laughing. He reached over and switched off the burner.
“This is where a sieve and a kitchen out of view of your dining public
comes in handy. Where were we?”
“I think you were going to lift me up onto the kitchen bench.” Mandy
hopped up onto the bench top. “Then I was going to wrap my arms and legs around
you and we were going to…”
Jake didn’t need any further instruction as he pulled Mandy to him once
again, this time more gently. His tongue parted her lips, as they slowly,
sensually explored each other. Jake’s hand slid to her breast, as she ran her
hands down his back.
“This is giving me an appetite, and I’m not just talking about a
semi-burnt sauce.”
“Maybe we should pace ourselves a little.” Mandy put her head on his
chest. She could hear his heart hammering against his ribs “I’m just a little
scared I’m going to end up like the sauce otherwise.”
“What, lumpy?”
“No, burnt around the edges. We are playing with fire.”
