1–What is the title of your latest release? LAST CALL AT THE LOCAL 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Opposites attract when a free-spirited American singer-songwriter with ADHD teams up with a charming Irishman with OCD to revitalize his family’s pub. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?
