Today I would like to welcome author K E Osborn, who is joining us with the debut book in her contemporary romance series, The Trust Me?!
My love of writing started when I was quite young in high school where I enjoyed writing about most things. As time passed, my writing stopped and I decided on a career in graphic design. Bubbling away in the background my writing was still there and then the bubbles came to the surface when I had a very vivid dream about Jeni and Aiden meeting through a three car pile up. I jotted my thoughts down and paper and decided to resume my writing and as such my writing career was born. I sat myself down and started writing solidly until The Trust Me? Trilogy was on paper. About half way through writing the first book in the Trilogy my mother stumbled upon my work, and started reading it. It was then, after she told me honestly what she thought, that I realized I wanted to publish it. The first book took of the Trilogy took me about three months to completely get down on paper. The other two books (still to be released) took approximately one month each. Of course, that was the first draft; it has taken many hundreds of hours of rewriting and editing to make each book perfect for publishing. I have some fantastic Beta readers and editors who painstakingly help me to make the books the best I can.
Since writing the Trust Me? Trilogy I have written, or are in the process of writing two more books. Every day I love to sit and write, but editing, rewriting and promoting do take up a considerable amount of time.
I have had some fantastic feedback and reviews, regarding my debut book Trust Me? One of the most amazing things that happened to me was when I logged into facebook one day and saw a comment from a fan that went along the lines of “I absolutely loved this book and I must have the second book, when is it due out? Please tell me it’s soon.” This comment made me feel like I have really accomplished something great. Interaction with my fans is very important to me, and I make myself available on as many social media websites as possible, so readers can always contact me. I love interacting with my readers, and will always answer all written posts or messages.
I really hope you all enjoy my debut book Trust Me? The Trust Me? Trilogy.

Excerpt from Trust Me? The Trust Me? Trilogy:
I turn to face him; he puts his other arm around me. We are in the same position as before when the last kiss attempt failed. My arms are tight around his neck, his arms around my waist. I look down. He lifts up my chin so I’m lost in his gaze. His hand goes back to my waist. He swallows; I think he’s as nervous as I am. He tilts his head and leans in … I back away quickly.
“What’s wrong?” he asks, looking hurt.
“Oh, no, it’s not you. I think … I might have garlic breath.”
He laughs and pulls me back to him. “So do I.” He pulls me in tighter, and before I know what’s happening, his lips are on mine. I give in and surrender to him completely.
This feels like one of my fantasies, only way, way better. He holds me tight as one hand moves from my waist to caress my cheek, kissing me softly but sensually. My hands move to the back of his head, and I grab a lock of hair in each hand. He moves our bodies so that I’m against the railing at the edge of the deck. He moves his hand from my waist to hold the rail as I still grasp his hair. The kissing becomes feverishly passionate; his tongue against mine as they intertwine with each other. Our breathing becomes faster and erratic. Our kissing becomes more intimate. We are in perfect sync with each other. I pull him closer to me, our whole bodies touching. My heart is pounding fast and hard. His hand moves from my face to the back of my head, pulling me tight. He moves my hair from the side of my neck, breaks our kiss and kisses my neck slowly and seductively. I sigh and breathe in a stuttering motion. I open my eyes to see the waitress standing there, gawking at us. I stiffen as I see her. He pulls back and looks at me. With my eyes, I gesture toward the waitress. He turns, looks, and lets out a little huff. He leans in towards me.
“Now that’s a first kiss,” he whispers as he grabs my hand and leads me over to the table. I can’t help but smile.
