1–What is the title of your latest release? MOOREWOOD FAMILY RULES 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A woman who went to prison for her messy con artist family makes them promise to go legit, but when she gets out she realizes they’ve kept scamming and now it’s up her to make them give up their grifter ways…but they have other ideas. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I needed somewhere with stunning vistas that made people think of money. Water and yachting said “money” to me. I watched a house-buying show set in Rhode Island and decided it had the perfect mix of wealth and ocean views to work. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? I would! She comes from a dysfunctional, uncontrollable, emotionally stunted family of people who lie and deceive for a living. Think about the stories she’d have. It would be so entertaining. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Practical. Determined. Unmoored. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? The book is lighter in tone, but it does touch on the idea of family roles like “the dependable one” or “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 Meryl Ain!   Writes: If there’s one thing JoJo Lubinski wants, it’s to become a famous actress. Her fraternal twin sister, Bronka, wants a career in journalism as well as a home and family. Complicating these dreams is their knotty family background. Their mother saved their father during the Holocaust and the family came to New York after World War II. But their father still suffers from the trauma of the Holocaust as well as losing his first family. Both sisters are constrained by the times in which they live. JoJo faces an unplanned pregnancy in the years before Roe v. Wade became the law of the land. Bronka is faced with quotas for female students when she applies to journalism school and later discrimination in her professional life. Her friend and colleague, Brian, discovers that his father was a guard at Auschwitz. The twins, Brian, and other characters in Shadows We Carry, grapple with their family’s ancestry, family secrets and bloodlines. Meanwhile, both young women…

1–What is the title of your latest release? BEGUILED BY THE BEASTLY BARON 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Bridgerton meets Monsters. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? It was a part of a shared world that all took place in the same time and location. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes! I definitely would. Antonia’s friendship with her chaperone is the best example of the kind of person she is with those she’s close with. I can see us having loads of fun and laughing over our mistakes in life. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Broody, pushy and protective. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned that sometimes being raw and incorporating a little of my own relationship in the storytelling can make for a more relatable experience despite the fantastical world it’s in. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I’m the kind of writer who starts from the very beginning and writes all the way through to the end. Once I’m done, I do a quick look over but quickly hand it…

I’ve always loved cooking and baking. For me, there’s something very satisfying in taking a set of instructions and a list of ingredients and turning them into something delicious and sustaining. In fact, if you look at it the right way, cooking is a little like magic (though the magic in A SLEIGHT OF SHADOWS is much more murdery and less delicious and there’s even a bit where cooking by magic is dismissed as less tasty than cooking by mundane means… sorry, tangent.). So perhaps it’s not surprising that when I started writing seriously, cooking and baking – and baking in particular – became part of my writing process. I started writing seriously during my final year of grad school, the same year that I was finishing and preparing to defend my dissertation. So, basically, I was working on two book-length projects simultaneously. It was a lot. And I’m a writer who works best when I have constant momentum – so, a few words a day every day works much better for me than large chunks of words one day, and then a few days off. There are a lot of things I like about working that way, and I’m good…

1–What is the title of your latest release? BOOK OF DEATH AND MADNESS. Scheduled for release on April 25, 2023 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Second installment in the Book of Ancient Evil trilogy. We find Shaw and Singh after their return to England, in pursuit of the cult leader Ananya, and her ancient tome which could very well spell doom for all of humanity. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? It progressed naturally. The first book took place in India. When Ananya (the antagonist) escaped with the book it seemed only natural that she would head for London. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Oh no, there are far too many horrible things that happen to people in the vicinity of Doctor Shaw. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Loyal. Determined. Cursed. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned that I have a recurring theme of loyalty among friends. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? A little of both. When I have something happen later in the book that creates a discrepancy earlier, I…

Writing COURAGE IN THE STORM took lots of…well…courage. This book fell way outside my author comfort zone. The story centers around an Amish woman, paralyzed by anxiety after witnessing a terrifying tragedy. Unwilling to set foot off her brother’s farm, Miriam Hochstedler bonds with an injured and traumatized horse. The unmanageable animal is about to be put down, when Miriam’s brother calls in Reuben Brenneman, a formerly Amish farrier known for his skill with dangerous horses. A troubled childhood among the Plain left Reuben with scars of his own, and he wants this job finished fast. Sensing the bond between Breeze and Miriam, he enlists her help. He soon finds himself helping Miriam battle her own fears—but as their friendship deepens, Reuben and Miriam reach a crossroads. She can’t leave the Amish world—and he can’t stay. I loved the story, especially the idea of a horse whisperer hero. But to write it, I’d need to understand Breeze and the skills Reuben used to help him.  And unfortunately, all I knew about horses was that they made me nervous. The one time I’d tried to ride, the horse galloped straight to a tree and scraped me off under a branch. Flat…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE OTHER SIDE OF INFINITY 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? They Both Die at the End meets The Butterfly Effect in this YA novel by Joan F. Smith, where a teen uses her gift of foreknowledge to help a lifeguard save a drowning man—only to discover that her actions have suddenly put his life at risk. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? It takes place at a fictionalized version of the condo complex where I grew up. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Both of them, yes! 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? December is curious, impulsive, and interesting. Nick is eager, smart, and insecure. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I learned a ton about neuroscience that never made it into the book—I was knee-deep in medical journals for a side character for a while. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? Unlike a lot of writers: Both. I think there’s nothing better than editing something if I’m stuck, and it gives me less to do on the back end. 8–What’s…

1–What is the title of your latest release? HOW NOT TO MARRY A DUKE   What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? An antisocial duke and an earl’s spirited half-sister attempt to put differences aside long enough to fake a courtship in a fun, sexy romp.   How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I love the Regency England time period—the history, the dresses, the carriages, and the manners all intrigue me.   Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Yes, Adeline is half Arabic and half English. She’s the daughter of a Middle Eastern healer and an English nobleman. I would enjoy spending an afternoon with her drinking tea, touring London, and learning about healing methods.   What are three words that describe your hero? Intelligent inventor, honorable, and sexy!   What’s something you learned while writing this book? I researched and learned about herbs and medicine in the Middle East during the early 1800’s since my heroine is a healer. I also researched early inventions during the Regency period since my hero is an inventor.   Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I edit as I…
