This was the first of several single titles I wrote Harlequin's "HQN"
imprint. It came out January 2006.
My first baby for HQN was BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE.....You can
likely tell from the title that I'm mighty fond of that food group. !
From the rain forest to the lab, there are lots of fascinating things
going on in the creation of chocolate today.....which is my heroine's
job.....that is, until she tests a little too much of her own product and
accidentally ends up tangling with the boss...

"Greene writes a charming tale of familiar devotion and gives readers
a new, fun-filled spin on romance with the boy next door. While
dialogue from the children's mouths often seem overly precocious,
even for bright kids, the conversations between adults are realistic.
The viewpoints of the main characters are especially well written, and
the plot leads us from a humorous beginning to an emotionally
satisfying ending."

UPCOMING WORKSHOP/CLASS - - - -Online !
I’m teaching an online course on POINT OF VIEW this April for Story Stew University.
If you’ve ever had trouble with viewpoint, I thought it was time to take the ‘nightmare’ out
of this craft issue and have some fun with it.
The traditional, purist writing rule for point of view is older than the Mayflower: USE
ONE VIEWPOINT PER SCENE. No head hopping is allowed, ever, no exceptions.
Contemporary thinking about point of view has evolved to a very different place. The
theory these days seems to be: NO ONE CARES HOW YOU HANDLE VIEWPOINT AS
LONG AS IT WORKS.
I’ve seen fellow writers throw drinks, slam doors, and heave insults in discussions over
viewpoint. (Including me. For a writer, a fight over viewpoint is always invigorating.) )
Unfortunately, the problem with both theories is that they’re just that. Theories. They don’t
SHOW a writer, in a practical way, how to handle viewpoint.
So that’s the goal of the course. I’m not going to defend rules or opinions or theory. I’m
going to do the “SHOW, DON’T TELL’ principle, with a set of 8 classes to show you how,
why, and where to use viewpoint.
Viewpoint is probably the toughest writing craft issue to master, for good reason. It’s the
most powerful tool in your writing arsenal. The more you’re familiar with it, the more
comfortable you become with it—the more power you’ll gain over your writing.
