Top 10 Random Acts of Crazy I've Done in My Lifeby Julia Kent10. Lied about my age at 15 and got a job as a haunted house monster.9. Started writing romance novels. Seriously – I'd have never predicted I'd be doing this (and loving it)!8. Lived in a foreign country by myself in my early 20s, barely knowing the language. The best thing I could have done, but it was definitely risky.7. Hosted a sex toy party as research for an upcoming novel. Everyone had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. What happens at Julia's house stays at Julia's house. But wait until you read the novel...6. Went on a cruise. Now, the average person wouldn't consider that crazy, but I have horrid seasickness, and while everyone was enjoying the midnight chocolate and lobster buffet, I was praying to be thrown over the side of the boat so the nausea would end. I knew I had sea sickness, but booked a cruise anyhow. Never again.5. Married the wrong guy the first time.4. Ignored the voice in my head on my wedding day, as my dad walked me down the aisle, telling me I was marrying the wrong guy.3. Took the LSAT (law school admission test) for fun. Just curious to see how I did. It's kind of like pulling out your fingernails to know what it feels like. Um...not fun.2. Met a guy online and moved in with him six weeks later.1. Married the same guy – it took two tries to get this husband thing right. And he is soooo Mr. Right. <3 div="">
Random Acts of Crazy
I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar. A guitar. Really. I don't collect guys like that (don't ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop – you stop.And I definitely never thought I'd be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year, isn't supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in Boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed.But he did.When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove eleven hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It's one thing to like two different guys and be torn.What do you do, though, when maybe – just maybe – you don't have to choose?As my Aunt Josie says sometimes, "It's always complicated."Random Acts of Crazy is a standalone, full-length novel (300+ pages, 85,000 words) featuring Darla Jo(sephine) Jennings, the 22-year-old niece of Josie Mendham from the Her Two Billionaires series. It has, like many New Adult novels, an exploration of sexuality for the three main characters, doesn't shy away from mature content, and Darla has a sailor's mouth.
About the Author
Julia Kent turned to writing romance novels after learning that she could not work as a fighter pilot because her fear of flying disqualified her. Turning to her second love, she became a dog groomer, but had to abandon that job after adopting too many strays. Writing about very real, very flawed people is a natural extension of her life and, well, her. She lives on the east coast with her partner, two small children, seventeen dogs that weigh less than fifteen pounds each, and a monthly consumption of Nutella, brie and french bread that makes cardiologists cringe.
Great guest post. Thanks for participating :)
