What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Book of the Month?
I loved the idea of exploring a bestselling writer who feels like a one-hit wonder, and the extent she decides to go to write another bestseller. I wanted to set it in the Outer Banks and pair her up with a grumpy hero heartbreaker after I took a trip to OBX and did a tour of the wild horses. The book just came to me during the trip!
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Book of the Month, what would they be?
“Eyes on Me” by Michael Bolton – it’s the theme song!
What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love so many genres! I adore thriller and horror books plus erotic and sexy contemporary romance plus romcom. But I love more, lol!
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Sigh. too many. I can never have enough books and have too many fave authors to count.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I have two! One when Aspen and brick are dancing on the beach babysitting the sea turtles. The second is when Aspen is going to a book signing and has some brownies beforehand which are a bit…different. You’ll have to see what happens at the signing – it still makes me laugh out loud!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Actually – no! I just sit butt in chair with coffee or water and write! But my dogs are always with me – they sleep on the beds next to my desk.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I love this one: Trade Expectations for Appreciation and your whole life will change.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Oh, I want them to feel happy! Like they had a short vacation and they’re sighing and remembering how wonderful it was!
