Romanced by the Redneck (A Short Story)

Posted by Amanda Brice Dec 4 , We regret to inform you that your order has been shot out of the sky for coming too close to the Pentagon. You will receive a full refund. Okay, back to our news. We signed on because we thought it was a cool idea, but we had to stay quiet until the program was announced. But the press release just went out, so now we can talk about it! Amazon has had the popular Kindle Singles program for a few years now, but those short pieces definitely skewed towards non-fiction, essay, or literary fiction.

Not much in the way of genre fiction. But with the explosion of ebooks, readers are discovering the joys of short stories and novellas once again! As much as I love a good meaty full-length novel, sometimes your reading time is limited, so having a satisfying story that can be read in one or two sittings is perfect. But it will also offer standalone genre short stories written exclusively for the program. To keep his mind off of Becky and his foundering acting career, Kelly heads to Turtle Island, Georgia to be a contestant in the Yummy Santa contest.

Will these two finally get the closure they need, or will their reunion spark a second chance at first love?

I was able to crank out 20, words in a week. I can never produce 20K words that quickly with my full-length novels.

It was also fun to get to play with some new characters and to set the romantic spark in motion faster. At first, I almost quit this job and started a search for a new one! But once I decided to keep writing, I guess the big difference was that I had to focus on one particular event in their lives.

Almost like a-day-in-the-life for this couple. That was hard for me to narrow the scope down that far, but once I did, I finally figured out how to pull it off. Easier to do when writing a full length novel. Writing Romanced by the Redneck release date December 11 and having to fit it into a shorter length story forced me to sit down and plan out my chapters.

A bit of a change, but not all that bad. Superromances, which come in around 85K, are not selling as well as the shorter books, though they still get much critical acclaim for the lush stories. I wanted to experiment and felt it might net me some new readers. I had several publishers who wanted the story.

It was supremely flattering at a time I really needed to feel flattered to receive multiple offers, but the editors at almost every house wanted me to expand the story and add a few more books to the series. They have the vehicle to put my book in the hands of readers. If all goes well, I hope to write a few more set in several other cities. Everyone else, how did you plan out your short? The same as I do novels. I had to figure out who my characters were, and then I plotted, starting by the main turning points.

But once I figured out the event I wanted to focus on, it became clear that I needed the inciting incident, the point of no return, the black moment, etc. All the normal turning points were there. Novella-length or short stories go full steam ahead with little or no subplots and less development of secondary characters. I just had to think of the main action scenes and turning points, and the planning was done! It sounds like yours is also part of a series, right Lindsey? I love writing about my characters from Possum Hollow. Romanced by the Redneck is a prequel to Jimmie Joe Johnson: The next book in the series a full length novel to be released — hopefully in January — is Reeling in the Redneck.

You can sign up for my Possum Hollow newsletter at www. I hope readers will love the stories, and I hope writers will take a look at the StoryFront program. I think it offers an exciting opportunity for anyone with an interest in the short form. We hope it gets readers into the holiday spirit. And the short form is perfect for this time of year when everyone is rushing around trying to get things done.
