Hi readers! Thanks for stopping by from the Soul Mate Blog Hop. Answer the question highlighted in yellow below for your chance to win a $15 gift card or a copy of my SoulMate novel, SECRET SISTER!
First, let me introduce myself to you if we haven’t met. I used to write Harlequin Intrigues as M.L. Gamble, and after a decade away from writing, I came back with SECRET SISTER for Soul Mate Publishing! And changed my name to Emelle Gamble, which I get many compliments on for sounding foreign and elegant. Yay name change!
My first Soul Mate novel, SECRET SISTER, is a blended genre women’s romantic fiction novel about Nick and Cathy and Roxanne. HA! No, it’s not one of those kinds of triangles, but it is one of the weirdest ones you’ll come across. It all started with ‘what if everything about me changed, would my husband know it was me?’ I say yes, because I believe in romance. Here’s a link to SECRET SISTER if you’d like to take a look.

What would your hubby or significant other do if everything about you changed, your looks, your voice, your identity…would he still know it was you inside?

Enjoy! And do leave a review at Amazon or Goodreads on any or all of these books. Authors love hearing from readers, and other readers appreciate knowing what you thought! My favorite reader review so far is this one from Bookworm… “I knew absolutely nothing about the book when I began reading it and was hooked from the beginning. It took such an unexpected turn I simply couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next.”
I would hope he would, I have enough quirks about me, I don't think they would go away, and he does know all me tells.

Ahhh, yes, those 'tells'. Cathy Chance has a lot of those too in SECRET SISTER. It's part of what gets things started, and ended! thanks for stopping by Jean MP! and good luck in the contest.
DeleteHe would know it was me whether I came back beautiful or ugly. He says he would know me by what I do and how I do things. How I act and the small things most people don't even observe.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Sharon E, I am officially in love with your hubby! HA! This is exactly my idea behind SECRET SISTER...that true love gives us that inner eye and we know our people, no matter what they look like! Thanks for the post, and good luck in the drawing. Make sure you check out Cheryl Yeko's link too and enter for the Kindle!

We have been happily married so many years that my husband would know me even if I changed. He knows all my little quirks and habits. Sometimes he doesn't even need words to know what I am thinking or how I am feeling.

Sounds like a great marriage, BookLady. And yes, when they know you, they know you with their eyes closed. Thanks for posting!
DeleteMake sure there's nothing wrong with me
ReplyDeletebn100candg at hotmail dot com
Well, I missed Molly but got Duets, thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou've had an intersting history and I am sure I read a few of your books with Harlequin.
My S.O. would be entrigued if I was a change.
If he knew it was still me, but all new - he'd be very excited
Hey DogsMom! Yes, it has been an interesting ride. Love that you may have read some of my Harlequin books...and I'm glad you got Duets. If you like it, let me know and I'll gift you Molly Harper so you get the rest of the story. It was a personal one for me, not because I'm a movie star or adopted - HA - but I really loved the 3 women structure. thanks for posting!
DeleteAs long as it was still me inside with all my mannerisms and quirks (good and bad) he'd still know and love me. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes, Yes Glenda! That's it. I believe they'd listen to their heart, not their head. Thanks for posting!
Deletemine is now my ex- and no I don't think he ever knew the real me, so NO.....
ReplyDeleteWell, Barbara, this is an unexpected twist. And of course, with my writer's mind, I'm not thinking of another book where this very thing happens! Thanks for your candid and thought-provoking post!
DeleteI think I could convince him I'm me. After a couple decades of being married, we both know so much about each other and the way we think, let alone events that we shared over the years. That and even when we were just starting out, people would tell us we were more like a middle-aged married couple already.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you two were meant for each other, Elizabeth! Thanks for confirming what I thought, that they really know us in many ways when they love us.
DeleteI've been married for 25 years and I must be honest and say that my hubby would likely be clueless. I don't think he would be open to the possibility.
ReplyDeleteWell then, you better read Secret Sister, Catherine, and find out how Cathy Chance did it! HA! I mean, just in case this ever happens to you. Good luck in the drawings!
DeleteI don't think he would, he is not very trusting and if everything changed I don't think he would believe it.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have a big job to do then Angel. thanks for posting, and good luck in the contests.
DeleteHe would still know me because he knows my heart.
ReplyDeleteI love this answer as much as I love your name Spring Adams! And I agree, these men we love would know us! Good luck in the drawings.
DeleteI doubt that he would know it was me. He doesn't notice when I get a haircut, have a new outfit on, or when am worried about something.
ReplyDeleteCome on Carol, this would be a bigger deal, right? Have faith (cue MilliVanilli). HA! I think he would know you, and I'm totally convinced Phil-the-fist would know me! good luck in the drawings.
DeleteHe would know. We've lived and shared too many years to not know each other on a level far beyond the outside appearances.
ReplyDeleteKaren, you're my proof in the pudding. Yes, we aren't just the outside to these guys when they love us. Good luck in the drawings and thanks you for posting.
DeleteShe would know me definitely we have been together for three years and she knows me very well. email is josephhawkshaw at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe! Secret Sister is about a woman trying to convince a man...wow, I wonder if it would be the same kind of story. I think it would be way different! Thanks for the good idea and good luck in the drawings.
DeleteOf course he'd know me as I know all his secrets and wouldn't hesitate to remind him. :-) Thanks for participating in this blog tour. jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHey Janice Hougland! You won the FREE copy of SECRET SISTER! I'll send your gift to your email address above. And be sure to check Cheryl Yeko's site for the big winner of the Kindle! Someone named Janice H won! I don't know if its you or not, but please check it out! XX Emelle
DeleteYes Janice Hougland! Use that inside information. Good luck in the drawing, and thanks for the great post.
ReplyDeleteI think he would know it was me!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks for posting Brooke.
DeleteWell I don't have a husband or significant other but if I did, I would rather hope that he would know it was me.

First of all, Pam, let me tell you every author I know would like to use your beautiful Vanilla Orchids as a book title. So prepare to be copied! and yes, I hope a true love would always know another. Thanks for your post.
DeleteThanks. :) That's sweet of you to say.
DeleteYes he'd know it was still me id be the same inside .
ReplyDeleteThank you Raeline

Thanks for posting Raeline. You keep that guy, okay? XXX
DeleteI am afraid mine could care less as long as his cooking, cleaning, laundering, & everything else was all done for him~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteConnie, one of my favorite FB people ever! Hilarious...yes, wouldn't that be a funny book where hubby doesn't notice the woman doing all those things looks completely diffeent. HA! Wish I'd thought of this. Thanks for posting!
DeleteI doubt it.
ReplyDeleteLaughing here, Mary Jo. But hope springs eternal. Thanks for posting.
DeleteYep! One taste of my cooking and anyone would know that it was me lol
ReplyDeleteVery good reply. Laughing out loud here, Elise-Maria! I should have used this in SECRET SISTER. Drat. Thanks for the post.
DeleteHe would know it was me, deep down... He knows me better than I do at times.. He loves me for the person that I am.
ReplyDeleteJodi, I got tears in my eyes reading this. Thanks for sharing, and lucky you for having such a wonderful guy in your life. And lucky him you realize it!
DeleteI sure hope he does.
ReplyDeleteI bet he does. thanks for the post DS...
