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!
