A book!

In June I was reading a post on Writer's Alley, at the end of the post they asked the reader's what their favourite books were. So I looked at all the comments to see what books the other readers liked ( to get a good idea what to read ;D ) and typed in one of my favs, Mara daughter of the Nile.

A week later I was scanning through Writers Alley again and I saw my name it fairly big print. I stopped, and scrolled up a little and there was: Tiffany Jane won the favourite book competition. The prize being one of the Writer's favourite books. I was in complete shock. I didn't even know it was a competition!!! (If you go and have a look at the comments here you will see my remark of complete and utter shock)

 A few days and got a reply from one of the writers, saying yes I won it. But I had a small problem, I'm no from the States. So after a few days of emails going back and forth, the writer said she could still mail it. And today the book came!! I'm so excited, I haven't even read the back cover. I hope it's really good book!  It's called Wish you were here by Beth K Vogt. And it sounds very adventurous/thriller and romantic, a mix that I love!!

I am starting again

I am starting writing again. I haven't written for my story in nearly a month. My story is in a mess (more or less) and will need heavy re-writing. I don't know how to end it. And I may have to change my characters. -If you know anything about writing that is really hard. Honestly I don't really want to write another word but I want to continue discovering their story+ I'm pretty much at my "heroine's" lowest point I love her to much to leave her there in short. Prayer for inspiration p.l.e.a.s.e -also for how to weave God into this.
So after asking for so much I guess I must give you some idea of what you are praying for. Warning it (hopefully) will contain romance.

(don't have a title yet), a Summary:

Beatrice is from East-End London 1885. One night she is attacked, in a battle of self defense an important person is accidently killed, Beatrice flees to New Zealand, she is pursued by the dead man's hired killer, Martin.

Her life gets no better when tragedy after tragedy hits Beatrice begins to break down, suicide becoming her only hope. But it all seems as if something stronger is pulling, pulling her to Jesus.
But behind all of this her killer is still seeking, ready to work his revenge. 

Excerpt from (don't have a title yet):

Last updated on 11/27/2012

He began to undo her top buttons, clearing her neck. She knew then that he would kill her... Her fears were confirmed when he wrapped his fingers around her wind pipe, at first gently pushing as though to test her vulnerability, then he dug in his fingers, and she had the odd sensation that he'd done this before... And was certainly not afraid to do it again.

(haha that's pretty much the best scene -thought that is going to change)

Anyway thanks very much

Idea, help too!

Name HELP!!!Please see end of post

Why?

I'm brewing up a story.I'm gonna try Romance, I probably won't get that far.
What is the idea that is the water to my story soup?
Mail order Bride.
Why? I like the idea, but I'd like to add some flavour, some stock, the guy who 'ordered her' has died and the farm has been sold.
It'll be set in the 1800s.South Dakota.
Herbs she's an optimist he's a pessimist.He tolerates people, she couldn't be without them.
Spice: she's terrified of angry people, scared of the dark and scary dreams  [similar to someone I know]
He has an explosive temper, hates himself, he's a choleric type.
She's 4#, 7# 3#.
He's 8# 6# 5#.
The last thing he wants right now is a wife, and when he wants one, she'll be quite, demure, shy a 2#, but God had other ideas.So when a small bubbly red head [well it's auburn, funny how most of my females end up with red hair] with big violet-grey eyes, turns up on his door step saying she's his bride, things go funny.
If I used one word to describe her, it'd be alive
him, grumpy
So I have to now go and figure out the rest.

Your part:
 I have though of names but I would like your opinion
what names do you think would suit?
Can't wait for comments!!

Something else

I thought you readers-not-writers might like something different.
We have not a lake, much to my sisters utter disappointment, they have been praying this week and staring at the computer weather forecast and praying for rain again, and telling the sun to shoo, while every one else would quite welcome the change.Ah dear I just hope it either pours or shines, and if we get a lake that we will have food for our sheep.We don't have lambs, won't til Christmas
