Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Eileen Dreyer!   Writes: What do I write? Well, everything. I’ve written every kind of contemporary romance (sweet, hot, suspense, fantasy, humorous, topical), medical suspense, and now, what I like to call historical romantic adventure. Nefarious spies in Regency England, which I admit I’m enjoying immensely.   Book description: All Pip Knight wants to do is protect Beau, Viscount Drummond as he fights a cabal of traitors threatening Britain. What she doesn’t want is to be forced into marriage because of it. Pip has known Beau Drummond since childhood and loved him almost as long. But finding herself in a marriage with a man who doesn’t want her is not her idea of a happily ever after, especially when they’re both still in danger from the very angry traitors. It seems Pip really has her work cut out for her if she wants to change any of that.   About: Eileen is a veteran trauma nurse, excellent wife, legendary mom, Queen of Internet Travel…

Book Title: THE FRONT PORCH CLUB Character Name: Annalise Haverford   How would you describe your family or your childhood? Everything about my childhood was perfect, or at least meant to look that way. We might not have had some of the material wealth that our friends and neighbors did, but my mother was an expert at appearances, mine in particular. I was raised to be a perfect Southern belle although mama’s dreams of me making a successful run on the pageant circuit fell apart thanks to my debilitating stage fright. Turns out I could not perform on cue as expected. It wasn’t until I had children of my own that I realized making parents happy wasn’t the responsibility of a child. It was quite an eye-opener I’ll tell you.   What was your greatest talent? I’m not sure I should admit this but bending people to my will has always been a talent for me. And I’m definitely ashamed to admit that I didn’t think much about anyone else’s feelings in the process. I’m working on that. As it turns out, being genuinely nice to people makes me feel good. And although I didn’t expect it, making friends like…

1–What is the title of your latest release? YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? If you like the early seasons of You, you’ll love You Look Beautiful Tonight. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I recently visited Nashville, TN, and it was gorgeous and full of a culture unlike most you see these days. It was an incredibly fun visit, and I thought that vibe would balance well with my main character’s personality. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Probably! She’s meek and keeps to herself, so I think a better question is if she would hang out with me! But I think Mia, once you really get to know her, is a good friend. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Quiet, introvert, reticent. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? This book is a reminder to us all to love ourselves and find confidence in our uniqueness rather than weakness. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? Both. It depends on the book and timeline. There are times that I love to edit as…

1–What is the title of your latest release? AFTER ANNE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? After Anne tells the life story of Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of Anne of Green Gables, who lived 100 years before us but whose story has so much to say to us today. After years of deliberation about whether to prioritize her writing career over marriage and children, Maud eventually chose to marry a minister who was deeply threatened by her success. The stigma around mental illness led her to bury the truth first of his struggles, and later of her own. Maud’s eventual suicide was covered up for 65 years until her granddaughter revealed it in 2008. This novel tells the story of Maud’s hidden pain, and it also tells the story of her courage and her unique mind – of the exuberant spirit that leaps off the pages of her novels and journals, and of all the times she picked herself up in the face of personal tragedy. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Historical fact 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist?…

Q: While browsing Amazon recently for more monster-themed romance, I happened on your new book THE UNSEELIE DUKE. The cover is fab and pulled me in right away, so I snagged it. However, the male protagonist, Izael, captivated me. I normally avoid fae-centric romance, but there’s just something about Izael. He’s as cray cray as some of the other fae characters I’ve read about in the past but a with a bit more charisma. What’s your inspiration? For this character and this series? Will it stop at being a trilogy? Izael definitely came out of left field! I had written my first series set in my dark fantasy fae realm, Maze of Shadows, and figured that’d be it for me. But that insane nope-rope just showed up in my head out of nowhere and demanded to be written. It definitely pulls from Labyrinth, and some of my other favorite old fantasy movies like Legend. I also just tend to love writing insane male leads—they always make me laugh.   Q: I love the artwork for your books. Can you tell me a little about that? Grace Zhu, my cover artist, is just fantastic! She came to me asking to illustrate…

Book Title:   A DEADLY GAME – Angus Brodie and Mikaela Forsythe Murder Mystery Book 3 Character Name:  Lady Antonia Montgomery   How would you describe your family or your childhood?  My family first arrived in England with William the Conqueror, far older than the Queen’s.  He was quite a bounder according to family stories, ruthless, and took over the entire place.  My own childhood was – shall we say somewhat unusual.  I was an only child and allowed a great deal of freedom, raised by my father.   What was your greatest talent?  I speak four languages, quite expert with a saber, but I digress. It would undoubtedly have to be my ability to see through people, their machinations.  I don’t have much time left and I won’t be bothered.   Significant other?  That is rather personal don’t you think?  However, if I were to be honest, there have been a few, but none who would let me live my life as I chose.   Biggest challenge in relationships? I refuse to have them.   Where do you live?  At present I live at Sussex Square in London.  I do spend time in the north of Scotland at Old Lodge…

Jennifer Vido: You’re back with another fabulous beach read! What inspired your new release, THE COMEBACK SUMMER? Ali Brady: We each have a younger sister (coincidentally, both are named Elizabeth!) and one day, we were discussing how in a family, you seem to get slated into a specific role during childhood and it can be difficult to break out of those roles as adults. We wanted to write about the beautiful, complex, and challenging relationship of sisterhood—and how those roles we play in childhood shape us for the rest of our lives. From there, we created the characters of Hannah and Libby, two sisters who are best friends, roommates, and business partners. They love each other, but they’re perhaps a little too codependent and enmeshed in their roles, and in THE COMEBACK SUMMER, they learn to break out of those roles and follow their own paths.   Jen: What’s happening in the sisters’ lives, throwing them into a tailspin? Ali: Hannah and Libby are running their late grandmother’s PR agency, which has been losing clients since she passed away. As the story opens, they’ve just lost their last big client, and are worried that they might have to close the…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present TJ Alexander!   Writes: Hey there! I write queer romcoms that take place in the food world. My second novel, CHEF’S CHOICE, is about Luna and Jean-Pierre, who agree to a fake dating arrangement so that Jean-Pierre can inherit a culinary empire. But first, they both have to learn how to cook haute cuisine–even though Luna can barely make grilled cheese. Globe-trotting adventures and trans joy abounds!   About: I’m originally from Florida and now live in New York City. I’m into birdwatching and houseplants, and I can mix a mean cocktail. If I were a cake, it would be pineapple upside-down. I enjoy picnics and long walks as long as they’re not uphill. When I’m not writing, I’m thinking about what’s for dinner.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: Someone who likes jokes and silliness A fan of cheese, bread, and pickles Loves a queer found family   What to expect if we’re compatible: Only one bed A first-class…
