It’s our great pleasure to present SYLVIA KANE! What I Write About: Contemporary romance that’s heavy on the steam, with a lot of emotion and character growth. My heroes and heroines aren’t cookie-cutter…they’re real, but lovable people who have to find a way to be together. My latest release is Back For More, a brother’s best friend romance set in Manhattan about a Wall Street attorney who can turn anyone’s head and his best bud’s little sister, for whom he’s always carried a torch. About Me: Thirty-something lawyer-turned-author who’s a bit of a cynic but absolutely believes in true love. I’ve always had a bit of a perfectionist streak, and am naturally high-strung, but writing helps me relax. I’m an avid volleyball player, and just starting out with gardening. My six and three-year-old girls keep me busy, and insane! My husband of ten years is amazingly supportive of my writing career.

Lauren Helms | Top 5 Things to Nerd Out to in Boyfriend Maintenance
Author Guest / April 30, 2019

Hello, hello! My new release, Boyfriend Maintenance, might not be about hot gamer boys, but it stays true to my tagline, Nerdy and Flirty. I wanted to highlight a few things I totally nerded out to in the book. There are few definitions for the word nerd, but I like “a single-minded expert in a particular technical field” the best. With that being said, the following topics that are absolutely nerd-worthy from Boyfriend Maintenance… 1) Skee-Ball The popular arcade game is so much fun I have to play it whenever I’m someplace that has it. The carnival, any arcade, the bowling ally (yeah I know, but honestly, I’d rather Skee-Ball than bowl). I don’t remember how my love for Skee-Ball came up in a group chat between myself and the other 425 Madison authors, but somehow I was challenged to write Skee-Ball into my story. Challenge accepted. The whole premise of Boyfriend Maintenance starts and ends with Skee-Ball. 2) Grilled Cheese I love giving my characters a favorite food. The only downfall to this is because I write about the food obsession I end up obsessing about it as well. In this case, Emmy King was utterly in love with…

What I Write About: I love to write contemporary romance that involves strong relationships between not only my main characters but the supporting cast as well. I can always be counted on for taking my characters on a journey- some that hit you right feels- but that just makes their happily ever after even better! About Me: Author is an over-enthusiastic woman looking for someone who can appreciate a good mix of meet-cutes and slow burns, with independent heroines and heroes who aren’t afraid to prove why they’re a good match. Author loves to write in awesome children, modeling after her own sweet kids (who sometimes make her want to pull her hair out!) What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: A reader who knows that sometimes the build-up makes the relationship sweeter. A reader who isn’t afraid of the twists and turns that get us to the HEA. A reader that enjoys imperfect heroines who fall for…

Leigh Lennon | Author-Reader Match
Author Guest / February 6, 2019

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 as a reader you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present LEIGH LENNON! Writes: I write many different types of romances. I’ve never been able to stick to one of anything. I don’t have a favorite color, I have two or three. I don’t own just one comforter for my bed because that would be too much of a commitment. I don’t marry my purse, I date them. Again, the commitment is too much! So, why would I stick to one genre within romance? My books include humor and back and forth banter. It also contains relevant pop fiction. Some may have angst, where others are sweet. But all my romances include swoon-worthy men who would give their lives for their women. If you like to be surprised at the end of the book and love a powerful hero who’d do anything for his gal, I’m the author for you. My most recent release is coming Jan 31, Must Love Coffee, A 425 Madison Avenue Novel. About: Passionate writer and mother of…
