Canadian Indie Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Upcoming Release Of New Romantic Fiction Novel, 'Willow's Walk'

Blackwood's latest 5 star romance novel follows 'Passions In Paris', a romantic fiction novel written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'
Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood, author of 'Passions In Paris', has announced the upcoming release of her new romantic fiction novel, 'Willow's Walk'.

'Willow's Walk' follows the release of Blackwood's romantic fiction novel, 'Passions in Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. Her first romantic fiction book is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'.

'Willow's Walk' is a gripping new tale, certain to hold readers captive from the very first page. Set in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Canada in 2003, this touching story centers on the life and times of a woman determined to prevail at all costs, regardless of what is set before her, the result of which is certain to leave the reader reeling in its wake.

The path each person walks is entirely their own. The pitfalls along that path, as well as the way in which they are dealt with are entirely up to the individual. But Willow Sutherland Crosby walks a far-different path, and with her own agenda.

Abuse, deception, intrigue, and a never ending quest for happiness and love - will she find these, or will her blind determination be her downfall?

"As the time grows increasingly near for Willow's release, I grow more excited with each day that moves that celebration closer," states Miss Blackwood. "The novel has encountered a number of setbacks from the first projected publication date, but I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, and in doing so, am thoroughly convinced that the result of such will result in nothing short of a most anticipated Release by my readers, as well as a successful one."

While in pre-release, the book has received a number of 5 star reviews from professional reviewers. Maria Beltran stated, "I highly recommend this book." Gisela Dixon said, ". . . I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the life of a person presented in such a wonderful manner."

'Passions In Paris' has also received rave reviews. Linkk Kula Kane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands its ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

Reader Fred Pifer stated that 'Passions', " . . .is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Other reviewers have praised 'Passions In Paris'. Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . . " Another Reader's Favorite reviewer stated, "Enjoyable and exciting, this is a book for people who have romance flowing in their veins." 'Passions In Paris' has a 4 star rating on Amazon.

'Willow's Walk' will be available in November, 2015.Information on the new romantic fiction release, including a new book trailer, is available at Blackwood's site on the 'Willow' page.

Rusty Blackwood, Author Of Romantic Fiction Novel 'Passions In Paris', Announces Upcoming Release Of 'Willow's Walk'

Blackwood's latest romance novel follows 'Passions In Paris', a romantic fiction novel written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood, author of 'Passions In Paris', has announced the upcoming release of her latest romantic fiction novel, 'Willow's Walk'. The new romantic fiction novel is scheduled for release in late summer or early fall of 2015.

The path each person walks is entirely their own. The pitfalls along that path, as well as the way in which they are dealt with are entirely up to the individual. Most use common sense, and are successful in their plight.

But Willow Sutherland Crosby walks a far-different path, and with her own agenda.

'Willow's Walk' is a gripping new tale, certain to hold readers captive from the very first page. Set in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Canada in 2003, this touching story centers on the life and times of a woman determined to prevail at all costs, regardless of what is set before her, the result of which is certain to leave the reader reeling in its wake.

Abuse, deception, intrigue, and a never ending quest for happiness and love. Will she find it, or will her blind determination finally take her down? This is what awaits the eye within the pages of this inspiring romance drama by romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood.

"I'm both excited and pleased to be able to discuss my upcoming romantic fiction drama, 'Willow's Walk'," stated Miss Blackwood, "for like 'Passions/Revelations' it comes straight from my heart, and through its writing, has brought me countless enjoyment, and sometimes heartache. But being the hopeless romantic that I am, it is my wish that it will encompass the reader within the story being told, and possibly the message within its telling. I truly believe that when one is young the world seems an endless array of opportunity and fun, never once do you think of  the possible pitfalls lying in wait because of a choice you've made; even if you do you often turn a blind eye all the while convincing yourself it won't happen to you. Very often the choices made in youth travel with you throughout your life. This is what 'Willow's Walk' is about, and I hope the message it delivers will help the reader with their own choices, and along their own chosen path."

'Willow's Walk' follows the release of Blackwood's romantic fiction novel, 'Passions in Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. Her first romantic fiction book is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from reviewers.

'Passions In Paris' has received rave reviews. Linkk Kula Kane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

The New Definition Of 'Romantic Fiction' - Author Rusty Blackwood Issues Statement

Romantic fiction' and 'erotica' are both well established genres in the literary world. Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood believes there is a marked difference between 'romantic fiction' and 'erotica'

The dictionary defines romance as " . . .a novel or other prose narrative depicting heroic or marvelous deeds, pageantry, romantic exploits, etc." Romantic fiction novels often present 'heroic' or 'marvelous' themes. But in today's marketplace it seems that the bar has been lowered, diving deeply into the realm of erotica, as evidenced by the success of novels such as '50 Shades Of Grey' and others.

Rusty Blackwood, author of the romantic fiction novel 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary', believes that this trend will ultimately blur the lines between romantic fiction and erotica, and that movement will result in lowered standards for romantic fiction authors and lowered expectations for romantic fiction readers.

"Speaking from the standpoint of a romantic fiction writer, I really feel the need to take a stand on this issue and voice my opinion," stated Miss Blackwood. "The very comparison of these two genres makes about as much sense as comparing apples to onions in flavor.  I find the idea absurd. Furthermore it is totally misleading, especially when a title that is nothing more than pure erotica in genre is marketed and touted to be that of a good old fashioned love story, when in literary fact, is as far from a good old fashioned love story as one can get. Readers are always free to choose as they like, of course, but the damaging factor in this scenario is that the reading public has bought into this misconception, and have made the mistake of believing the likes of '50 Shades of Grey', as well as other titles written in the same vein, now the standard for romantic fiction. This is totally wrong, and it has done nothing but hurt the genre of romantic fiction, and those who write it."

In a review of '50 Shades Of Grey' by Frank Santo on the Daily News website, Santo stated that "the experience of reading E. L. James' '50 Shades of Grey' on the subway was enough to make me feel like a complete psychopath." While a review is but one person's opinion, this nevertheless begs the question - "What is romantic fiction really?"

"Romantic fiction is," continued Blackwood, "the creation of a world in print that sweeps the reader to a place that touches their heart, their soul, and totally absorbs them into the story they are reading. Real love is gentle, caring, passionate beyond the limit of imagination. It allows the reader to feel what the writer is hoping to share, and throughout the story allow them to experience whatever road they imagine they themselves and the one they love to travel. Love can also be hurtful, deceiving and heartbreaking, but it is not a place where a man plots to defile a woman, demeans her beyond all limit, and sends a message to all young women that this conduct and misuse is acceptable, and this is what real love is. This is why the comparison between these two genres is so unbelievably wrong, and needs to be clarified. The reading public should not be manipulated into believing otherwise, regardless of how much a title is hyped, and I hope for the sake of romantic fiction writers everywhere this will soon materialize."

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel, 'Passions In Paris', is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers and has a 4-star rating on Amazon. The book was chosen as a finalist in Indie Author Land’s “50 Self Published Books Worth Reading”. Rusty was also a finalist in The Authors Show “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” Awards.

"Passions In Paris" has received rave reviews from readers. Reader Fred Pifer stated the new romance book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout." Another said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks."

Readers can download the epub version of the book at Smashwords. 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary' is also available at Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions, Barnes and Noble in paperback and Nook editions, and Create Space.

Blackwood will appear at Seaway Mall Coles in Welland on on September 20th for a book signing event.

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Readers Favorite International Book Awards Entry, June 2014 Events

Blackwood is the author of "Passions In Paris" a romantic fiction novel that has been compared to "Love Story" and "The Notebook"

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has announced that "Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary" has been entered in Readers Favorite International Book Awards. She has also announced the upcoming schedule of events for June 2014.

"Over the course of my writing career thus far," Blackwood stated, "I have pounded the proverbial internet pavement, done interviews and submitted review queries with an assortment of internet sites that were designed with the independent author in mind. Some were extremely good, and some badly lacking in the required areas needed for success in the self-publishing world, but I have never encountered one so diligent, well constructed, and in tune with a writer's plight than Readers' Favorite, with their supportive staff, excellent services, and competent reviewers."

"Competitive contests come and go, regardless of the popularity of the site that is sponsoring them, or what they may be offering by entering. For the indie author, contests are both an interesting way in which to promote one's work, and bring attention to a title that is competing against others in its genre which in turn can bring it to the literary forefront over-all. Readers' Favorite sponsors one of the largest annual book award contests on the Net, offering some of the best, sought-after rewards hoping to be obtained by those throwing their title into the ring. This is my first year competing in this audacious contest, but the accolades that 'Passions in Paris' hopes to reap in its field are well worth the pedantic run toward the finish line."

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers and has a 4-star rating on Amazon. The book was chosen as a finalist in Indie Author Land’s “50 Self Published Books Worth Reading”. Rusty was also a finalist in The Authors Show “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” Awards.

"Passions In Paris" will celebrate a one year anniversary in June, having been released on June 19, 2013. This coincides with June being Literary Month throughout the Niagara area. Blackwood will be reading from "Passions In Paris" at the Pelham Festival Book Fair on June 21st at the Pelham Public Library, a part of the Grey Borders Niagara Literary Arts Festival. She will also be reading three selections of poetry at Cafe on Main on June 11th in Fonthill, Ontario and an excerpt from "Passions" at William's Fresh Cafe in Niagara Falls on June13th.

"Passions In Paris" has received rave reviews from readers. Reader Fred Pifer stated the new romance book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout." Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks."

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Releases Part Three Of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood', Announces May Events

In her new interview, Blackwood discusses ‘Passions In Paris’, her latest romance novel, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ and ‘What Dreams May Come’. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal’s ‘Love Story’

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has announced the release of Part Three of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood'. In the video interview she discusses her unique experiences in writing, producing and marketing 'Passions In Paris' and her experiences as an independent author.

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers and has a 4-star rating on Amazon. The book was chosen as a finalist in Indie Author Land’s “50 Self Published Books Worth Reading”. Rusty was also a finalist in The Authors Show “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” Awards.

"I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I have enjoyed the chance to sit down in a comfortable setting, and express my values in ways that I'm not always afforded when discussing my work," stated Rusty when commenting on her recent audio/video series, An Evening with Rusty Blackwood.  Miss Blackwood went on to add, "And I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. It's a nice feeling to be able to discuss, in depth, how I perceive what I do, as well as what I receive in return. Writing is a very important part of my life, and I hope to be allowed the chance to continue to do it. It's important to me to be able to connect with those who kindly read my work, and be allowed to share my thoughts and views not only in the world of writing, but in a personal way as well, so this series has been a wonderful experience for me, and I hope it has helped to broaden the public's scope with regard to me as an Indie author."

In the new novel the city of Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what some believe could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

Reader Fred Pifer stated the new romance book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout." Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks."

Ms. Blackwood has announced a number of upcoming book events. She will hold a booksigning on May 24, 2014 at Seaway Mall Coles in Welland, Ontario. Blackwood will be reading from 'Passions In Paris' at the Pelham Festival Book Fair at the Pelham Library, Fonthill, Ontario on June 21, 2014. The Pelham Festival Book Fair is sponsored by Grey Borders, Barefoot Books, The Book Band and Elbow Island Publishers.

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Releases Part Two Of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood'

In her new interview, Blackwood discusses ‘Passions In Paris’, her latest romance novel, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ and ‘What Dreams May Come’. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal’s ‘Love Story’

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has announced the release of Part Two of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood'. In the video interview she discusses her unique experiences in writing, producing and marketing 'Passions In Paris' and her experiences as an independent author. Both Parts 1 and 2 are available now. Part 3 of the interview will be released soon.

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers.

"I find an audio video is very much like turning the pages of a book," stated Rusty when discussing her three-part audio video series. "By this I mean it provides and allows the recipient an insightful look into the contents being discussed, as opposed to simply listening to an audio broadcast where the visual aspect is entirely left to the listener. This was one of the main reasons I chose to present this series in the way in which I have. We live in a technological world where most everything is acquired through computers of some form, where the screen of such provides visual access for entertainment and information, and in this regard it is very much the same when it comes to books and supplying a window inside of them, as well as inside those who write them."  

In the new novel the city of Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what some believe could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks."

Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . . " Another Reader's Favorite reviewer stated, "Enjoyable and exciting, this is a book for people who have romance flowing in their veins."

Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Announces Release Of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood - Part 1'

In her new 3-part interview, Blackwood discusses 'Passions In Paris', her latest romance novel, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel presents an intense story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has announced the release of 'An Evening With Rusty Blackwood - Part 1'. In the video interview she discusses her unique experiences in writing, producing and marketing 'Passions In Paris' and her overall experiences as an independent author. Part 1 is available now. Parts 2 and 3 of the interview will be released soon.

Blackwood's romantic fiction novel is a sweeping saga written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. It has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received extremely positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers.

“I very much welcomed the chance to sit down and do these audio videos,” stated Rusty, “for they allow me the chance to discuss areas of my work in a laid-back atmosphere, as opposed to a more rigorous venue where allotted airtime is of the essence, and one cannot always express themselves to the length in which they might like.”

Blackwood went on to add, “Most readers of books, whether they choose novels or simply a condensed short, often know very little about the author of what they are reading other than what revolves around the titles they write, and I think it is important to learn different sides of an author, for it shines a totally new light on the name that is located on the cover of a book. I believe it also brings a reader closer to a story's creator if they are allowed insights, such as these videos provide.”

In the new novel the city of Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what some believe could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

Other reviewers have praised the new romance book. Reviewer Cat Howard said, "Eternal love, finding your true soul mate, and how echoes from past lives can influence the present, this story has it all . . .

Canadian Indie Romantic Fiction Author Rusty Blackwood Releases New Romance Novel "Passions In Paris" To Enthusiastic Reviews

Canadian romantic fiction author Rusty Blackwood's new romance novel is written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come'. Recent reviewers have compared it to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel presents an intense story of soul mates whose love spans lifetimes

Canadian Indie author Rusty Blackwood has released 'Passions In Paris: Revelations Of A Lost Diary'. The new romantic fiction novel, written in the tradition of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and 'What Dreams May Come' has been compared to Erich Segal's 'Love Story' and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook'. The novel has also received positive reviews from Reader's Favorite reviewers.

"To have my 'Passions in Paris: Revelations of a Lost Diary' compared to the brilliance of Erich Segal's 'Love Story', and Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook', is both a humbling experience, and an exhilarating honor," said Blackwood, in acknowledgement of garnering recent comparison of her newest title to these two literary masterpieces in romantic fiction.

In the new novel the city of Paris, one of the most romantic places in the world, sets the scene for what could be one of the best romance novels to come along in ages. The book is peppered with drama, intrigue, deception, adultery and jealousy alike. The fictional romance centers on star-crossed lovers Joy Wychmere and Cullen Malone. A diary, lost for almost half a century, opens a door to the past and one fateful evening changes two lives forever.

Reader Fred Pifer stated the book, "is a fascinating book of a love story that seemed to be written with me in mind. In the book 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, he told of a deep abiding love story that reminds me of Cullen and Joy’s in Ms. Blackwood’s book, but the twists of intrigue and mystery that she adds keeps the reader on edge throughout."

Linkk Kulakane said, "Passions in Paris I think stands it ground with these other powerful romantic stories like 'The Notebook' by Nicolas Sparks. A long kindled love, which finds its place from a romantic spark in the mind of one, to a mounting real life experience between two different worlds, brought together by an on going weave of circumstances, doubts, mystery, and intrigue, that sets ablaze forbidden emotions on a roller coaster ride of endless desire, and surmounting obstacles, that test the strength of their determination to prevail. Miss Blackwood has a rare talent to bring this and more into the minds and hearts of those who have had the privilege to be transported into her wonderful world of story telling."

"Those two wonderful writers," continues Ms. Blackwood, "are hopeless romantics, as am I, and to express the feelings of the heart through stories such as these, are as full-filling as experiencing the topic of that we are writing about.
