Hello, everyone, and welcome to Hope Harbor! Book #9 in the series, WINDSWEPT WAY, is about to release – but no worries if you’ve never visited my idyllic little Oregon seaside town. Every book can be read as a standalone. In this story, you’ll meet Ashley Scott, who’s come to Hope Harbor in a leap of faith to bring new life to a historic seaside home. Her visit to the secluded estate gets off to a shaky start, though, thanks to an encounter with a masked, chainsaw wielding man and an unusual reception from the older, reclusive owner. But as she joins forces with wounded warrior Jonathan Gray to give a house that has known too much sadness a happy ending, might they also find one themselves? Warning: Have a few tissues on hand for the oh-so-romantic ending.   W is for Windswept Way. This secluded byway ends in a clifftop setting worthy of Victoria Holt—without the dark undercurrents! I is for intrigued. How Ashley feels about Jon almost from the get-go—but he’s a hard nut to crack. N is for never. The attitude of Rose Fitzgerald, the owner of the historic home, when Ashley tries to coax her to…

1–What is the title of your latest release? Darkstorm, which is currently featured in Monsters in Love volume 3: Lost in the Forest. I also have a story included in Monsters in Love: Wicked Tales and Monstrous Ever Afters, which is a charity anthology that benefits Best Friends Animal Society, a no-kill shelter (100% of the proceeds go to the charity). My story in that is called Tempted: The Fallen, and it’s the introduction to Monstrocity, a new world I’m writing. Tempted is a reimagining of the Adam and Eve story, in which Adam is the bad guy and the tempting serpent is actually the hero.   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? I’m terrible at condensing a plot into an elevator pitch! But basically Darkstorm is about an amateur cryptozoologist who gets bride-napped by a troll and has to figure out if their relationship has even the slightest chance of working, all while navigating troll raids and bad weather.   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? This was easy. Darkstorm is the third book in my Monsters of Haven’s Hollow series. All the books in the series are set in and…

1–What is the title of your latest release? MAGIC CORRUPTS, MAGIC CONQUERS   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?  Pennrae stopped the event that removed magic from the world from ever happening and returns to a new timeline where she’s lauded as a hero. But her actions have also awakened an eldritch entity who has a specific purpose to fulfill…one that will put Penn and everyone she loves in mortal danger if she doesn’t stop it.   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?  Magic Dark, Magic Divine is set in NYC, but after the events of that book, the timeline is reset and Magic Corrupts, Magic Conquers takes place in a more unique setting that still has echoes of the past. It was a lot of fun to essentially start from the ground up and rebuild the world the story takes place in.   4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life?  Absolutely, I think hanging with Penn would be fun. She can teach me how to fight.   5–What are three words that describe your hero? Strong, witty, perceptive   6–What’s something you learned while writing this book?  I…

1–What is the title of your latest release? BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? If you thought you knew the iconic vampire, Bones, think again! THIS is Bones, in his own words this time. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? The setting was pre-determined since it covers the locales from a prior book, so it takes place in Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and New York. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? I’d love to, but vampires, ghouls, or evil ghosts are always trying to kill her, so I probably wouldn’t survive! Lol. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Badass. Devoted. Vampire. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That there really are two sides to every story, and you don’t have the complete picture until you’ve read both of them. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I edit while I draft, to my detriment. Sometimes, I will fiddle with a chapter to the point that it really slows down my progress before I force myself to move on. 8–What’s your favorite foodie indulgence? Anything…

1–What is the title of your latest release? HOME TO RIVER’S EDGE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? High school sweethearts Jasmine Weaver, and Elias Walker, have lived half their lives apart. Can they reinvent themselves back in the town where it all began? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? The setting is the same little town on the Ohio River that the other River’s Edge series are set in, so this book is sort of a continuation of all my Tule Publishing books. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Maybe… now that she’s back home. We probably wouldn’t have had the same circle of friends when she lived in Washington, DC, where she hung out with some pretty powerful types. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? A little lost, but determined, and good-hearted 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I researched a lot about what chiefs of staff do for political figures and political scandals.

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 India Holton!     Writes: I see we’re starting with the tricky question first. My books tend to take genre categories and shoot them out of a canon. They’re historical fantasy adventure romcoms – with a couple of more sub-genres squished in there as well, such as light academia and satire. My upcoming novel, THE SECRET SERVICE OF TEA AND TREASON, is a screwball comedy about rival autistic spies who fake marriage to infiltrate a pirate’s house party so they can foil an assassination plot against the Queen. Shenanigans don’t only ensue but erupt all over the place, and our heroes quickly discover that “’til death do us part” might be very literal indeed.   About: Snarky author seeking interested reader for long walks through the pages of romcom novels. Loves tea, books, and making characters frustrated by thwarting their desires. Can usually be found with a handkerchief, a Jane Austen quote, and a chocolate biscuit (whose existence will be denied if queried), but…
