For single mom Tristan Maddox, moving to the small town of Broward, Georgia is the opportunity she needs to provide her daughter with a better life. A bigger house where they can each have their own bedroom, a backyard to play in, a place where they can put down roots and be part of a community, are all part of the reason she chose Broward as their new home. Nowhere on that list was her sexy next door neighbor, Owen, his adorably affable dog, Huck, or his crazy family.

Owen has to fight to protect the woman he loves, and their future together, or
risk losing everything.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Do you use a pen name? And why?
I do use a pen name. I am probably one of the most socially
awkward people you’ll ever meet in your life. Writing gives me a chance to be
someone else, and using a pen name adds to that sense of freedom for me.
Are you a self-published / Indie author / Mainstream Published?
I am a self-published author, and
this is my debut novel. I love how self-publishing has become so popular over
the last few years. It’s given us so many amazing authors that I don’t
otherwise think we would have been introduced to.
Do you listen to music or have something else that you use
whilst writing?
It
really depends on my mood. Sometimes I’ll listen to classical, but if I listen
to any other type of music, I’ll catch myself singing along. My children will
be the first ones to tell me that I shouldn’t be singing out loud! Sometimes I
put on reality TV, because it provides me background noise but I don’t really
get caught up in what’s going on. I definitely can’t write in silence; I have
to have some sort of noise going on around me at all times, even when I’m going
to sleep.
What or Who inspired you to start writing? And how long have you
been writing?
I can’t
think of any one person or thing that inspired me to start writing. I’ve just
always had these stories in my head and decided to put them down on paper one
day. I learned, years after I first started writing, that my own mother had
written stories when she was growing up. She passed away a few years ago, but I
like to think she knows that I took the leap to self-publish, and that she’s
proud of me.
Do you prefer e-books, paperbacks, hardcovers or audiobooks?
Oh, this is a tough one! I love the
feel of a good book in my hands. The way it smells, the texture of the paper,
the weight of it, but I love the convenience of an e-book and the way it allows
me to carry hundreds of books around with me all the time. It especially makes
it easier when I’m traveling. My suitcases are much lighter since I invested in
an e-reader.
Have you ever read a book more than once? And if so, what was
it? I tend to read all of my books I’ve
bought multiple times. It’s like sitting down to catch up with an old friend,
or coming home to be with family. I think I’ve read every book by Nora Roberts
at least five times each, and then there’s Lucy Score, Meghan March, Kristen
Proby, Jennifer Armentrout, Aurora Rose Reynolds, the list could literally go
on for days. I’ve read, and re-read, and re-read them all.
Do you have just one book you would recommend others to read?
I’m currently obsessed with any and
all things Lucy Score. I just discovered her, and I’m pretty sure I read all of
her books in less than two weeks while working a full time job, and slugging my
way through Algebra and Spanish assignments with my oldest child.
Do you enjoy reading?
There
is nothing better than a good book. My Kindle App on my phone added this handy
tracker that tells me I’ve read for a solid 456 days in a row! I make time to
read every day, even if it’s only a chapter. I love getting to live in these
amazing worlds created by other people.
What’s the best advice that you have been given when it comes to
writing?
To write for myself
above everything else.
Do you have any hobbies that aren’t related to reading & writing?
I
have two incredibly active, nature loving boys, so my hobbies include things
like camping, fishing, and hiking. None of which I particularly enjoyed before
I had my kids. As cliché as it sounds, seeing it all through their eyes, and
sharing the experiences with them, makes putting up with the spiders all worth
it.
