Review: More Than Friends by Denise Hunter

★★★★☆ 🌶 Review: First, I would like to thank the author and Thomas Nelson for providing me with a free advanced listener copy of this audiobook. This is my honest review. Denise Hunter is easily one of my favorite no-spice romance authors. While her books are classified as Christian, they never proselytize, making them a great option for readers of any faith (or lack thereof). Jenna and Tyson are childhood best friends. When Jenna returns to her hometown after turning down an engagement and losing her job, sparks fly between the two. Set against a backdrop of wild horses and kayaking tours, it's impossible not to fall for the small town of Chincoteague Island. I love the chemistry between Jenna and Tyson, as well as the suspense of determining whether Jenna's mom's new beau is as perfect as he portrays himself to be. Denise adds just enough emotional tension to raise the stakes. Once again, she has kept me spellbound; I read the entire book in a single s...

STUFF ABOUT WRITING / READING

I have a very strong relationship with my wife and two boys so it is important not to sacrifice any of that with my work. So, you need the discipline to set out definite times for hard graft and separate occasions for leisure and the essential parts of life that make it tick. I need to be very organized.

I have a study to work in and hang a toy bear on the outside door handle which tells everyone not to disturb me (unless there is a real emergency!). I also switch off all social media and my phone so that I am not distracted.

Music is important to my emotional and creative development and I have a large collection which I have playing in the background while I’m writing. Sometimes this will be specific and relevant to the subject matter and at other times I put the whole lot on random and let my mind tap into small details that help the story along.

Initial plot development and themes are written with a fountain pen and ink as I find this makes me feel more creative. Chapter outlines I do in pencil with lots of rubbing out and changing. Then I use Scrivener to put it all together.

Writing is my main occupation now and I hope to develop it more. This will depend on profit margins. As my books get better known, I’m hopeful sales will increase. I can’t think of a better career!
