Happy 1st Birthday to “The Right Design” by Isabella Louise Anderson

The_Right_Design_Cover_for_Kindle**Blurb:

In the author’s debut novel comes a story about picking up the pieces, letting go of the past, and finding love along the way–even if morals are tested!

Interior designer Carrie Newman could not have envisioned a more perfect life for herself. She had a great job doing what she loved, wonderful friends, and a close relationship with her sister and brother-in-law. Add in an amazing man who she’d hoped would soon become her husband, and her life was perfect. Until one devastating decision ruins her relationship and changes the course of her life.

Determined to make a new start, Carrie leaves Texas and heads to Palm Beach to pick up the pieces of her shattered and broken life. The last thing she expects is to find herself attracted to her first client at her new job–Brad Larson, who has proven himself time and time again to be caddish.

But there’s something beneath the surface of Brad’s arrogant exterior that keeps her craving more of him–something almost sweet that Carrie can’t seem to resist.

Is Carrie ready to take another chance on romance? And will this new design of her life prove to be the right one?

Happy Friday, y’all!!

My 31st birthday was on Sunday, and what a great day it was.  I’m told that I’m the “girl who has everything,” but I disagree.  I’ve had the same responses for the past couple of years — books, gift cards, and picture frames.  While I do have a lot of books and frames, is there wrong with wanting more?  There’s just no such thing!  Below are my top four favorite birthday gifts!  Take a look and see how awesome they are!

Barnes & Noble Gift Card!

Gift cards from B & N are the perfect gift for anyone!  Who can do wrong with a gift card from the world’s greatest bookstore?  (My hubby might disagree because of the amount of books we have in our house, but I just can’t help myself!)  Having a gift card is the best gift to give a writer because not only do they get to pick out what they want, if gives you the opportunity to pick out something you don’t already have.

Crystalline USB Pen!

I was shopping with my mom one day when I saw this, and I loved it!  All writers need pens and a USB, which is also known as a universal serial bus, (thanks, babe – ha, ha, ha!), so this is a necessary item.  If you’re on the go a lot and work with a laptop during the week, but want to stay home and write on your desk top, then why not have a pen with a USB?  I know I’ll be using this a lot more when my office is ready!  Now, if I could only not misplace this pen.  (Wish me luck on that one).

Leather iPad Pillow!

What would I do without my iPad?  Really, I don’t know how I lived without it!  I read a lot, especially when I’m reading for a review.  When I’m home I read on the couch, and I before I go to sleep I read in bed.  Many of you know how reading on the iPad can be difficult.  Well, this is the perfect solution!  It’s an amazing difference at how comfortable it makes using the iPad!  Try it, and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Customized iPhone Case!

You might remember what my husband gave me last year for my 30th birthday.  (HERE is that blog post).  Well, for the second year in a row, my husband gave me something that I love, love, love — LOVE!  Here’s a picture of it, but trust me, the picture doesn’t do it justice!  (The picture doesn’t show that the phone case is my signature purple!)  It’s simply perfect!

 Well, as you can see, I had a great birthday!  Here’s to being 31, and so far, it’s not too shabby!

If you’re a writer, what are some of your favorite gifts you’ve received for your birthday?

It’s Fun Friday

Many people in their 30’s have issues with growing older, but I don’t.  The year that I’ve been 30 has been amazing!  Yes, truly amazing!  I’ve worked, I’ve learned, and I’ve become someone who I didn’t think I could be — somebody named Isabella Louise Anderson!

When I was younger I always wanted to be in my 30’s, as it seemed like a great round number – not too old, nor too young, but just right.  I, like most children, thought that I’d be this and/or that, but I really never thought that I had the guts to try to become a writer, but I’m so glad I did!

Here are some of my goals that I want to achieve for the next 10 years:

  • Dedicate my life to my work
  • Get a book deal
  • Get my books published (either through publishing companies or self-publishing)
  • Write as much as I can, each and every single day

I ask you, what are you goals for your decade?
