Imaginary Lines
by Allison Parr
April 14, 2014 | Carina Press
Tamar Rosenfeld has been in love with New York Leopards linebacker Abraham Krasner since they were twelve years old. She’d always considered it destiny that they’d end up together…until Abe was drafted and she professed her feelings in a moment of blind excitement. The sting of his rejection was like nothing she’d ever felt before, and it’s nothing she’ll ever forget.
Older and wiser, Tamar has landed a dream job as a reporter for one of New York’s premier athletic websites. Determined to stop being the safe, boring girl she’s felt like for most of her life, Tamar makes a list of all the things she wants to do and see in her new city, and Getting Over Abraham is priority number one.
But destiny has finally chosen to interfere. Just as Tamar’s decided to move on, Abe’s realized she’s the only woman for him. When he confides the truth, Tamar has to decide if she can put her crush behind her, or take a chance on the very man who’s been holding her back all these years.
How to Pants
by Allison Parr
I’m a pantser, not a plotter.
Some writers plot out every aspect of their writing. It turns out I’m horrible at that. My favorite part of writing? Flying by the seat of my pants and making it up as I go along.
Sometimes I start a novel with a single sentence. More often, though, I have a central idea – for Imaginary Lines, I knew I wanted to tell the story of a flipped romance; the heroine had pined for the hero throughout their teenage years, but by the time they reconnect in the beginning of the novel, it’s his turn to try to win her over.
I find this allows me a ton of freedom; I don’t know who the characters will meet at their first day of work until they walk into the staff room, or what fight will boil up until the characters start yelling at each other. Of course, this means a ton of work when I go back for revisions and edits, but it’s all worth it. I get to go to whatever crazy places I feel like – maybe an exclusive VIP show, or a rooftop party with friends or friends.
Of course, not everything is left up to chance. I can assure you that there’s always going to be lots of strong female friendships, uncertainty about how to be a proper adult, and hot football players. It’s how they come together that’s up in the air!
