The whole point of BookShots is to give people lightning-fast reads that completely capture them for a couple hours in their day—so publishing romance felt right.</p> <p class="l-rw" id="p865">I have a lot of respect for romance authors. I took a stab at the genre when I wrote <i>Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas</i> and <i>Sundays at Tiffany’s. </i>While I was happy with the results, I learned that the process of writing those stories required hard work and dedication.</p> <p class="l-rw" id="p866">That’s why I wanted to pair up with the best romance authors for BookShots. I work with writers who know how to draw emotions out of their characters, all while catapulting their plots forward at breakneck speeds.</p> <p class="l-rw" id="p867">Erin Knightley is one of those authors and <i>Learning to Ride</i> is one of those stories. Here you’ll meet Tanner and Madeline, two people from entirely different walks of life who find themselves taking an unlikely chance at love. Their path seems impossible, especially since Madeline is so determined to make a name for herself at her new job. I hope you enjoy their journey.</p> <p class="signature-rw" id="signature1">James Patterson</p> </div> </section> </div> </body> </html>
