Romance

Today, I’ve invited one of my favorite authors, Jemi Fraser, to tell us about her first love and how it inspired her writing?

Jemi is about to release a series of romances called Bloo Moose Romances.
Reaching For Normal
Reaching For Risks
Reaching For Everything

As a Beta Reader, I had the pleasure of a first look and I was blown away by how her books captured my heart. I just had to know what her inspiration was. Here is Jemi's story!

Thanks for having me on your blog today, Renee!

My first love?

Way back when, my sister started playing tennis. Being the tag-along sister I was, I decided to play too. We jumped on our bikes and found different courts around the city.
Back in those days, there were always lots of people at the tennis courts. In our city we had a system. Everyone sat on the benches lining the courts and waited their turn. People played for about a half-hour then took their seats at the end of the line. We all played doubles so that more people got to play.
At one set of courts, we played a few times against a boy and a girl we didn’t know.
Sigh.
He was a cutie and he played really well. We were well-matched teams so we often arranged to play against each other. It was a really fun summer.
Me being me, I was way too shy to ask the cutie for his name. In fact, we rarely spoke except about the game.
But my twelve-year-old self was in love.
Fast forward to Reaching For Everything and you’ll find that Kami and Rayce spent a lot of time in their youth on the tennis courts of Bloo Moose. Those memories, that love of the game translated easily onto the page.
As did the memories of that first love. That first burst of emotion that you remember a long time afterward.
As for the cutie?
I married him.

Folks, if that doesn't make you swoon...nothing will!

تتم عمليات شد البطن عن طريق عمل شق جراحي في أسفل البطن وغالباً ما يكون ممتداً من عظمة الحوض إلى عظمة الحوض الأخرى يقوم الطبيب بسحب الجلد فوق البطن للأسفل لاستئصال الزائد منه بسهولة، ويتم بعد ذلك تحديد موقع جديد للسرة بشق فتحة في الجلد المشدود وتثبيتها فيه في حين يستخدم أنبوب طبي في تصريف أي سوائل زائدة من أسفل الجرح بعد عملية شد البطن إلا أنه لا يشكل ألم للمريض تتعدد المراكز الطبية التي تجرى بها اسعار شد ترهلات الجسم والبطن بالليزر في مصر وكذلك المستشفيات التي تضم قسما خاصا لشفط الدهون وتنسيق القوام فيكفي القول بأن أغلب المراكز الطبية التي توفر خدمات شفط الدهون ونحت القوام في مصر فإنها بالتبعية تُجرى بها عملية شد البطن وهو ما يضمن لك العثور على خيارات أماكن متعددة لإجراء عمليتك
