1–What is the title of your latest release? A THOUSAND MILES 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Dee and Ben, estranged best friends who haven’t spoken in a decade, reunite for the ten-year reunion road trip they promised each other back in high school that they’d take. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? The story opens in Chicago. I’m from Oak Forest, which is a southwest suburb of Chicago, and I went to college in the city. This is my fourth novel. Up until now I’ve never officially set a book in Chicago. So it felt like time! As for the road trip element, the particular journey Dee and Ben take—Illinois to Colorado—is one I have driven dozens of times in my life. That certainly helped when it came to the research aspect of this book. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely. She is bold and entertaining, and I know she’d be a blast. But I wouldn’t go on her podcast. My secrets are for me and me alone! Sorry Dee! 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Charming, sensitive, sweet 6–What’s something you learned while…

1–What is the title of your latest release? ONE UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When a busy executive takes a last-minute trip to Iceland, she discovers a new life path and love interest as she helps a handsome search and rescue pilot uncover what’s threatening his town’s fishing trade. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I love to travel, so my trips often inspire book ideas. I was lucky enough to travel to Iceland in 2018 and found it absolutely magical. Between the breathtaking landscapes and the dancing Northern Lights, I thought it could be a perfect backdrop for a romance (even despite the frigid temperatures!). Even better, the way of life in a small Icelandic town seemed like a perfect “fish out of water” experience for a busy big city executive like Ava Espinosa. It forces her to pause long enough to take stock of her life and consider what she really wants. If you want to learn more about the inspiration for my setting, check out this blog I wrote about it on my author site here. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life?…

1–What is the title of your latest release? WITCH SHIELD is my newest release coming June 30th. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? This is book 5 in my Guardians of Chaos series. It features a male Witch whose job is to basically protect all magic. But can he do when his fated mate is a curvy human hellbent on proving its existence? Adventure, humor, and true love abound in this paranormal urban fantasy romance. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Actually, I love answering this question because I set almost 95% of my books in my home state of New Jersey. And the ones that do not take place here, probably have a main character from the Garden State. There is simply so much understated beauty from the mountains, farms, and suburbs to its cities and beaches. In New Jersey, there is something for everyone. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Well, at first Egros is a bot volatile and uptight for a Witch with so much power. But he mellows out after he meets his true love in Margo, the kickass heroine of Witch Shield. Her,…

1–What is the title of your latest release? ONE SWEET SUMMER 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Two strangers team up to build a tiny house for a televised competition, trying their best not to kill each other en route…or fall in love. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted to write a small-town series and have always loved beautiful forests, lakes…and ice cream. My sister went on her honeymoon to Vermont, visited the Ben & Jerry’s factory and ever since I’ve been intrigued to go see both for myself. In One Sweet Summer the hero’s brother owns an ice cream factory. We moved to Canada in 2019, unfortunately, due to Covid and border closures, a visit hasn’t been possible, but I hope for one this fall for some leave peeping. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely – she is feisty, full of grit, and is very creative. She is a hard-working go-getter and can do anything she sets her mind to. I love that her outgoing personality is such a perfect match for the hero, who is very much an introvert. 5–What are three words…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE SHOPGIRL’S FORBIDDEN LOVE .2—What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Shopgirl Nancy MacQueen has ignored her attraction to shop-owner Jem Redbourne for years, insecure about her appearance and believing they’re too far apart socially. At long last she can no longer deny her feelings, only to find out he’s engaged to somebody else! 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? It’s the fourth (and final) book in a series and they all start in the same place – Belle’s biscuit shop in Bath. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely!

I like good guys. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? How severe the penal system was in the nineteenth century. The story starts with the attempted theft of an orange, which doesn’t sound like much, but the penalties were draconian. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? Both. I write, edit, write, edit, write, edit etc. Then I edit the…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE LORD PRETENDER   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?  Emma and Simon have an undeniable mutual attraction. One problem, though – they are sworn adversaries devoted to each other’s ruin. A lightning strike thwarts their missions when each wakes up in the other’s body. Reluctantly joining forces to undo the switch, they slowly fall for the real person beneath the facade. Uncertain of their ability to reverse the change, they can only hope to overcome misguided preconceptions of the opposite gender while walking a mile in each other’s shoes – and perhaps aspire for a love they have never imagined.   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?  Many years ago, I fell in love with Regency era England and the romances set in that time and place. It didn’t take me long to decide to write in that sub-genre – one featuring few male writers. Through stubborn diligence and plenty of good luck, I’ve been given the opportunity to contribute to that space. The story takes place in London, which was the center of the Regency era universe.   4–Would you hang out with…

This is my first rom com with Entangled and is the first in a series. Tinkering With Love is about a woman, Dawson Shay, who gives up the life she knows to move across the country for a job that isn’t hers any longer when she gets there. Determined to hate the man who took it from her, she finds out it’s not that easy. Tully Faulkner is going to pull out all the stops to get Dawson to like him and what better place to do it than their teambuilding event where she can’t avoid him.
