Welcome to the beach, Cathy! I’ve heard how chilly it is in
New Jersey, so I’m glad I can share some of our sunshine. Take off your jacket
and relax.
Thanks, Sandy. I think I will. I
love the warm weather :)
If you’d like to have a beach party of your own I’d be glad
to share my beach. The first people on your guest list should be the three
people who’ve inspired you most, (dead or alive). Who would they be?- Nora
Ephron. I love her movies and think
she was a talented writer.
- Kathy Bates,
who started acting much later in life. Look how far she’s come. I didn’t
start writing until I was forty and didn’t publish until twelve years
later. Perseverance pays off :)
- Nora
Roberts, so I can pick her brain as to how she writes so many books so
fast :)
They sound interesting. What would be the three most
delicious items on your menu?
BBQ Spareribs, baked beans, and
lobster tails.
That sounds delicious! If I were to meet your characters, Travis
and Rebecca, at this party, what celebrities would they remind me of?
Bill Pullman/or Tom Hanks and
Julianne Moore.
Great couple! Everyone is dying to hear what advice you’d
give about writing. Give us your biggest DO and biggest DON’T.
DO: Learn to write fast. Content
is king. DON’T: Edit while writing.
Wastes too much time. Write the first draft and then go back.
Great advice. The natives seem to be getting restless. They
want to hear about TRAINING TRAVIS.
Two
professionals with a past they thought forgotten--can they keep their
relationship strictly business when the passion reignites?
After the death of his ex-wife, Travis McGill becomes sole parent to his fifteen-year-old daughter. Determined to do what's best for her--even if it means reopening old wounds--Travis moves back to his Pennsylvania hometown.
Rebecca Evans never forgave Travis for the way he dumped her. Not only did he break her heart sixteen years ago, but he and his daughter are a reminder of the family she lost. But when Travis asks her to redecorate his Victorian house, she can't turn her back on him or his angry, grieving daughter.
Getting Rebecca back in his life might not be the easiest task, but Travis is determined to try. Can he earn the trust of the two most important women in his life? Or will he need on-the-job training?

I love a reunion romance! We’ll need a taste of what we can
expect.
Winning
Rebecca back isn’t going to be as easy as Travis thinks. She isn’t the same
naïve eighteen year old.
It sounds like a great read in any season. Where can our
guests get a copy?
Our guests are enthralled. Everyone wants to get to know you
better.
