A Conversation with Archer Kay Leah, Author of FATE IN SUSPENSION (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today, Archer! Thanks so much for having me, Becky! It’s great to be here. What 5 things should readers know about you? I *LOVE* fantasy and science fiction, so all of my stories tend to be on the side of these (sometimes at the same time!), though I love putting the romantic spin on them with a focus on LGBTQA+ characters. I also write poetry. Behaviour, psychology, and ecology are some of my favourite things! That’s probably why I push my characters’ buttons just to see how far they’ll go and…

A Conversation with Ross King and Shari Low, Authors of THE RISE! (plus a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for coming by today, Ross and Shari! What 5 things should readers know about you? Shari: We are a writing duo, who have known each other for over 30 years, since long before we had the lives we have now. We both grew up in Glasgow, Scotland in the 80s, and met when we were in our early twenties. We’ve been friends ever since. Ross moved to LA not long after that, and became a multi-Emmy winning presenter, actor, writer and performer, while I went on to have a twenty-two-year career as a writer, with over 30…

A Conversation with Sophie Stevens, Author of ONE SPRING BREAK (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today! Thanks for having me! I’m excited to be here. What 5 things should readers know about you? I hated English and Lit class in high school and college. To me, the only important subjects were math and science. Now all I want to do is read and write. Life is weird. I come from a very conservative family who doesn’t condone sex in books. Hence, I use a pen name to stay off their radar. I’m a huge Anne Rice fan. She passed away in December and I’m devastated. Cats…

A Conversation with Michelle Gross, Author of HEARTBEAT GIRL (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today, Michelle! Thanks for having me! What 5 things should readers know about you? Hmm. Questions about myself are always the hardest because I feel like I don’t have anything interesting to say about me, but here goes. I’m a mom to twin girls. And autism mom. I write the best at night. Sometimes, I can write a book in weeks while others can take months. The editing process takes months, regardless. I have this irrational fear that I’ll never write all the books I want before dying. So much inspiration…

A Conversation with C.J. Campbell, Author of TEMPEST (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today, C.J.! Thrilled to be here, too. Love any opportunity to get nerdy about stories. What 5 things should readers know about you? Ah! It’s awesome to be hanging with you guys too. Oooh. Straight in with a tough question. Hm. Lemme think . . . Okay; I’m not shy. I’m just quietly trying not be weird. Like, people always assume ‘oh you’re a bookworm you must be shy and introverted.’ NO, Susan, I’m just a nerd with social awkwardness. So, please, if you ever meet me feel free to be…

A Conversation with Alexandrea Weis, Author of HAVE YOU SEEN ME? (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today! What 5 things should readers know about you? I am a vegetarian, run five miles a day, am an animal advocate, love french fries, and live on chocolate when I write. Well, I’m with you on the last 3 items… 😉 Where did the inspiration for this book come from? The inspiration for the story was the cover. My manager sent me a pre-made book cover—yes, the cover is pre-made—by Gabriel De Leon. She said, “This girl has a story to tell, and I want to know what it is.…

A Conversation with Fern Ronay, Author of BETTER BELIEVE IT (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today! Happy to be here! What 5 things should readers know about you?  My first name is Jennifer but my friends call me Fern. I am 100% Italian American and from New Jersey. I love Sarah Jessica Parker, SATC, Golden Girls and historical fiction and history in general. I love old photos and encourage everyone to tag me on photos of their grandparents. I really do love to see them even if I don’t know them! I believe in signs from the other side and have a podcast called Signs from the…

A Conversation with Nicola Davidson, Author of SCANDALOUS PASSIONS (Highland Menage #1)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today, Nicola! What 5 things should readers know about you? Hmmmm. I am an unashamed history geek, I’m from New Zealand, sex scenes are my favorite to write, I spend way too much time online, and I will fight anyone who attempts to come between me and dessert. LOL—I’m with you on numbers 1, 4, and 5. Especially 5. Where did the inspiration for your book come from? Good question! I’m not entirely sure. I felt a bit jaded with Regency and wanted to write something completely different. Era and relationship.…

A Conversation with Zachary Ryan, Author of THIRST TRAP (with a giveaway!)

Thanks so much for agreeing to be with us today! What 5 things should readers know about you? I live in Chicago, I have a twin, I’m originally from Maryland, I believe my characters are real, and I love a good fancy bottle of Jameson. Oooh, a twin—fun! And of course your characters are real…aren’t they? 😉 Where did the inspiration for this book come from? This book’s inspiration came from my friends in Chicago. I wrote a book five to six years ago about me moving to Chicago, coming out, and dealing with heartbreak. I wanted to keep that…
