The Five W's: Roseanne Dowell's Romance Novel, Time to Love Again

Welcome to the Focused on Story Blog and to the guest author series, The Five W's in Story. 

The 5 W's in Storytelling

The five W's in a story are who, what, where, when, and why. During this event, each author shares the five W's with our readers. The How is often included, but since the how may be a spoiler, I didn't ask authors to tell us that!!

I'm delighted to host my friend and multi-published author Roseanne Dowell today. Roseanne writes romance, mystery, paranormal and all have wit and warmth woven into each book.

Roseanne is sharing her paranormal romance, Time to Love Again.

Time to Love Again by Roseanne Dowell

Who 

The characters are. Rose Asbury, Stephen Daniels, Sarah Daniels, and Emma

What 

The conflict is fifty-eight year old Rose Asbury knows people think she’s a recluse, but she doesn’t care. She just wants to be left alone. She doesn’t need anyone and no one needs her and that’s just fine. At least she didn’t until this year. For some reason this year is different. Suddenly, she’s melancholy and discontent with her life. 

And the man next door doesn’t help matters. He insists on speaking to her. So her stomach tumbles every time she sees him, that doesn’t mean anything. Hunger pangs, nerves, she just wishes he’d leave her alone. Or does she? To top it all off, his granddaughter and her friends insist on playing in her yard, sledding, building snowmen and throwing snowballs at her house.

Then her sister’s ghost shows up and Rose’s life changes drastically.

Where

The story takes place in my hometown in Ohio

When

It's set in the late 90s 

 Why

The idea for this story came to me out of nowhere. I was working on a book about creating stories when this one suddenly entered my head. Parts of it from my childhood are true (maybe a bit embellished) although I grew up with 5 siblings, Emma was my real life sister (not her real name) and I miss her immensely. I can picture her haunting me if I lost my husband and acted like Rose. Emma and I were best friends as well as sisters. 

Time to Love again is available from

Kobo, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books We Love Publishing

Coming Up--

Sunday, April 1--Easter Sunday

The MONTH of April--I'll be participating in the Blogging A-Z April 2018 Challenge-- According to the website, a blogger begins "April 1 with a topic themed on something with the letter A, then on April second another topic with the letter B as the theme, and so on until you finish on April thirtieth with the theme based on the letter Z.  It doesn't even have to be a word--it can be a proper noun, the letter used as a symbol, or the letter itself.  The theme of the day is the letter scheduled for that day."

If you are a Word Nerd, then you'll like my theme for April. Check back on Sunday as I kick off this new and challenging blogging experience.
