What is the title of your latest release? WALK OF SHAME is my latest and it is just a good time in book form.   What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Walk of Shame is a hot hockey RomCom that will have you giggling and fanning yourself as Astrid and Cal fall for each other despite their best attempts that this time will be the last  time. Spoilers: It never is.   How did you decide where your book was going to take place? So Harbor City is my fake New York and I absolutely love setting my books here because like the real New York, it has just about everything.   Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely! Astrid and I would kick ass at bingo night – and since I’m a coffee drinker instead of a Diet Coke addict like her we wouldn’t have any problem keeping our drinks straight.   What are three words that describe your hero? Cal is a sweet and yet spicy cinnamon roll.   What’s something you learned while writing this book? I definitely learned a lot about career ruining hockey injuries.   Do you edit as…

1–What is the title of your latest release? ANGER BANG   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?  Thea is at her sister’s over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now when her sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted Thea at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn’t fully express how much it hurts.So for the first time Thea don’t think. She just does. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, she probably should have taken a moment. Instead, she asks the best man, who her sister absolutely loathes and who can’t stand her right back, if he’s up for a little naked revenge. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?  I came across a place called Coulter’s Hell. There is no way I could not use that in a book.   4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life?  Absolutely! She’s smart, funny and a great friend.   5–What are three words that describe your hero? Snarly cinnamon roll   6–What’s something you learned while writing this book?  All sorts of dinosaur facts. So many!   7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I usually tweak…

Welcome to Fresh Fiction, Avery! We are happy to have you here. Please tell us about yourself and your new book, MAMA’S BOY.  Thank you so much for having me! Love getting to hang out with fellow Fresh Fiction book nerds. I have the absolute best memories of FF get-togethers and how nice everyone was and how fun it was to get to talk books with everyone. So. Much. Fun. Speaking of fun, that’s pretty much what you get with MAMA’S BOY. It’s the first book in the Last Man Standing series all coming out together on August 30 (my birthday!). It has Dixon (a billionaire mama’s boy control freak determined to win a bet), Fiona (a Hartigan and a woman on a mission to put this billionaire in his place), attack geese, a hidden room in a library scene that is HOT, and a ghost dog that isn’t a ghost but is most definitely a dog. Basically, it’s a good time in book form.  MAMA’S BOY is the first book in the Last Man Standing series, with NEANDERTHAL and MANSPLAINER are coming soon. I have to admit, the titles are very intriguing, but perhaps more than what they seem on…

I don’t know about you but it’s been a long, hot summer in the Flynn household with three kids running around like banshees. I love the little monsters, but boy do they keep me running! 🙂 They’re all excited for the first day of school—the soon-to-be sixth grader already has her first-day outfit picked out—and we recently made the traditional run to Target to buy all of the school supplies. We stuck to the list (plastic folders with brads in red, yellow and blue = check!) and our cart filled up faster than a jaguar on espresso. By the time all was said and done, we walked out of the store with a bazillion bags and a big hole in my wallet where there used to be money. I know all of you parents out there know exactly what I’m talking about. That got me thinking. I grew up with a single mom and without a money tree spouting dollar bills. So I broke out my Google Fu skills and found several charities that help kids who can’t afford school supplies. One of them, the Kids in Need Foundation, has a four star ranking from Charity Navigator and gives nearly…

Who here knows a man like this? There were men Ryder had slept with and never thought much about again. Then, there was a handful whose memory always put her in a good mood, like a cool beer on a warm night. Standing before her was the one man who’d bypassed the pleasant-buzz setting and had zoomed straight into the hardcore, make-your-panties-wet, two-shots-of-Tequila-too-many danger zone. Oh my God, we should all know a guy like that. Seriously. Luckily—or unluckily depending on your viewpoint—Allegra “Ryder” Flacon knows just that guy and she’s done everything she can to ditch him. But where’s the fun in that? For a romance reader (and writer) there’s no fun at all. So of course, the one guy to get past her mile-high defenses is the one man she can’t avoid. And as for Devin Harris? Well, there’s nothing more he loves than a challenge and Ryder Falcon is “a walking stop sign.” I love writing the alpha vs alpha love stories. The kind where the hero falls in love despite the heroines curves, edges and perfect imperfections (to steal a killer line from John Legend). And the heroine falls for him right back. It’s the pledge…
