Author of sexy romantic comedies with a very British sense of humour. Highland Games - first novel in the Kinloch series coming soon

Evie Alexander
I am a people person. I love talking to people, me I am a people person. I love talking to people, meeting new people, finding out what makes them tick and what events have shaped their lives. I have an endless fascination with understanding the experiences and motivations of people that I have absolutely nothing in common with. Two people can come across the same situation, and yet their interpretation of it, and their reactions to it can be vastly different. ⠀ ⠀ Find out how I create my characters in my latest blog: Link in the bio!⠀ ⠀ #characterdevelopment #characters #eviealexander #novelwriting #peoplewatching #romancewriting #romanticcomedies #storydevelopment #writing #amwritingromance #amwriting #romanceauthor #romancewriter #romancewriter #romancewriter #writingtools #writerstools #authorlife #writinglife #writerslife #authorssupportingauthors #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #mydesk⠀ #amplotting #amoutlining #amediting #indieauthor #indieauthors #aboutme

Inspired by @heathergracestewart here's a very rea Inspired by @heathergracestewart here's a very real picture of a very real me. . Shattered, no make-up, no filter, bruise on my shoulder, but my precious little miracle in my arms. . I've never defined myself by my looks, but as I age, it still hasn't been easy to accept being lessened or dismissed just because I'm not in my teens or twenties. . I'm actually so pleased I'm no longer at that stage. Life was hard enough then. Now I feel I'm stronger, healthier and more productive and creative. . The romance community is full of incredible women supporting each other. Let's continue that. No matter what you look like, or what shit is going on in your life, let's keep being there for each other X . . #writingcommunity #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #arisingtidefloatsallboats #nofilter #nomakeup #nomakeupselfie #romancecommunity #romancewriter #romanceauthor
Hot Mess by Lucy Vine⠀ ⠀ Hot Mess is Bridget J Hot Mess by Lucy Vine⠀ ⠀ Hot Mess is Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Fleabag, and is absolutely bloody brilliant. We follow twenty-nine year old Ellie through Tinder dates from hell, navigating single life after the death of her mother, whilst living in a shit tip of a flat with a hot arsehole flatmate, and hating her job. If that wasn’t enough, her sister lives in LA, and her dad not only wants a girlfriend but is writing a version of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ starring himself. ⠀ ⠀ Ellie is stuck, afraid to move on and go for what she wants, and is surrounded by people who think there is something wrong with being single. Her life starts to unravel as she is forced to face up to hard truths, as well as stand up for herself and what’s right for her.⠀ ⠀ I was recommended this book by a friend who said it was so funny, she actually wet herself whilst reading it, then cried so hard at the end, she got a migraine. Hot Mess is a brilliantly written, hilarious book not for the faint hearted. If you are able to talk about bad sex and farting without having an embolism then this book is for you! ⠀ ⠀ #hotromance #romancenovels #hotsexscenes #readingromance #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #nextread #ivereadit #romancereader #romancereaders #romancereadersofinstagram #simpleromancereviews #romcomlover #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #booklover #bookworm⠀ #bookstagrammer #whattoread #hotmess #lucyvine
My alpha reader, Pash, and Chester the puppy a cou My alpha reader, Pash, and Chester the puppy a couple of hours ago... . We've had incredible weather here in the UK this weekend. Pash and I have been teaching outside in the water, and at the end of two very long and challenging days, she still had time to leap in my daughter's paddling pool in her epic turtle swimsuit. . When was the last time you got in a paddling pool?! . . #sunnydays #paddlingpool #alphareader #romancereader
I'm monumentally fucked, but not in a good way 😂😂😂 . Been a very busy weekend in the water and I'm counting the seconds until i can justify going to bed. . I look so old and wrecked that this is as much of my face you're going to see... However the camera angle makes my legs look amazing so you're getting them instead. Plus a dog under the table. . I hope your Sunday has been/is amazing and that you have way more energy than I do right now... . #amshattered #tired #readyforbed #puppies
This week due to other crazy intensive commitments This week due to other crazy intensive commitments, I only wrote for three days and one hour on the fourth which doesn't count as I was pissed and wrote only 170 words... .

I can hardly be trusted to climb the stairs so can I can hardly be trusted to climb the stairs so cannot remember the last time I was up a tree...⠀ ⠀ At one point in Highland Games, Zoe has to climb a tree (much higher than this one), which got me thinking. When was the last time you climbed a tree?

Tropes are everywhere. In Shakespeare, Austen, eve Tropes are everywhere. In Shakespeare, Austen, everyday language and your favourite TV shows. Tropes are common situations in narratives that help structure a story. ‘Enemies to Lovers’ is a very popular trope which can be found in The Taming of the Shrew, Pride and Prejudice, The Hating Game, and You’ve got Mail. Tropes are commonly used story devices that we all recognise on some level.⠀ ⠀ Even though the term trope can be used in a derogatory way to imply that the author is resorting to cliche, they are still to be found at the heart of every story. ⠀ ⠀ Discover 150 Romance Tropes in my latest blog:⠀ Click on the link in my bio⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #austen, #characters, #contemporaryromance, #eviealexander, #eviealexanderauthor, #marketinganovel, #noveloutline, #novelwriting, #romanceauthor, #romancetropes, #romancewriting, #writing, #writingaid, #writingnovels, #writingpdf, #writingromance, #writingskills, #writingtropes
