Author Interview

Hello and welcome, readers! We have Vicki Green here with us today. Vicki, Thanks for visiting us.
Thank you for having me.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I published my first book in 2013. I’d been having a dream for about a year and came home one day after work and decided to write it down on a Word document. I kept adding to it and showed it to a Blogger friend. She told me to keep writing. She wanted to know what was going to happen next. So, I did. That became my first book! While I was writing, an idea came to me for the next book in the series. I published the second book that same year.


Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
Dancing with the Enemy. The song that inspired my story is Dancing with a Stranger, but I couldn’t use that due to it being the songs title. As the story progressed, Dancing with the Enemy became more suited. 

How did you come up with the storyline?
As I said earlier, I’d been hearing Dancing with a Stranger on the radio a lot. Visions became more and more clear as I wrote the story. Mysterious. Intriguing. The song really helped guide me. 

What inspires you to write?
Pictures. A song. It’s really odd sometimes when an idea will hit me. Once, I was brushing my teeth, listening to the radio. A song came on and a story idea came right away. 

What is your favorite genre to read?
Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense, and Romantic Comedy. I guess that’s why I love to write those genres.

What would you say is the one thing are you most passionate about outside of writing?
My family. My husband and my two sons. Oh! And, our 3 dogs. Also, we have friends in a band, and I LOVE to dance! We go see them almost every month, when we can. I am very passionate about dancing.

When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
Dancing with my husband and hanging out with our friends. Spending time with our boys, as much as I can. Our youngest son moved out over a year ago so I don’t get to see him as often. Our oldest son just got a new job where he works nights so our time with him has become more limited as well. 

Tell us about your other books.
Well, I have 26 books published. Country Romance, Romance, Romance Suspense and Romantic Comedy. Four series and a few standalones.

Blurb:
Four years ago, Lachlan Begay moved to London and broke my heart.
Despite my best efforts, I never truly moved on. 
Every time Lach visits Scotland, we fall back into old patterns that result in new hurts.
My hurts.
Now, my heart is breaking for a different reason.
Preparing my nanna’s final Valentine’s Day gala at our family farm, the last person I need twisting my emotions is Lachlan.
But here he is, setting me on fire with a single glance. 
This time, he swears he’s mine.
This time, he promises me a future.
This time, he says all the words I’ve been waiting years to hear.
The only problem? 
I don’t believe him.

Author Interview

Hello and welcome, readers! We have Gina Azzi here with us today. Gina, Thanks for visiting us.
Hi there! Thanks for having me.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
 I’ve been writing since I was a little kid, making up short stories and plays for my friends to act out. In 2011, I started taking writing classes in New York City for fun and to meet other writers. When I moved abroad in 2012, I continued the courses online and began expanding a piece of flash fiction into my first novel, Corner of Ocean and Bay. In 2015, I moved to Dubai and learned I was pregnant with my first daughter. That’s when I began self-publishing and never looked back!

Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
One Great Love is a sweet and spicy second chance romance set in Scotland. It’s a novella focused on acceptance and forgiveness between Lachlan and Keira, college sweethearts with a complicated past. 

How did you come up with the storyline?
One Great Love is a novella spinoff from the Finding Love in Scotland Series! So the second chance romance aspect was quite natural and part of Lachlan’s story from One Last Chance and This Time Around!

What inspires you to write?
Everything! My family, my friends, articles I read and movies I watch. So many different ideas and storylines fill my head, especially when a particular issue interests me, and then I can’t not write. 

What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance! I love the marriage of convenience trope and military romance. 

What would you say is the one thing are you most passionate about outside of writing?
Traveling! I love the adventure of going to new places, trying new things, and meeting new people. I search the internet for destinations and flights the way my friends check out home décor! 

When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
Be with my family. My kids are at super fun ages where I get to enjoy all their imagined games and act like a kid myself. We love Friday night pizza parties, Sunday brunch, and all the spontaneous dance parties. 

Tell us about your other books.

I have three interconnected series out with a new, super angsty duet releasing in Spring.
The Kane Brothers, starting with Rescuing Broken, is a second-chance military romance that will introduce you to the hot and charming Kane boys. 

The College Pact series has four sports romances featuring resilient heroines. Start with The Last First Game for an unexpected love between a sexy, football God and the medical intern he falls for!

Finding Love in Scotland is all about second chances set in Edinburgh. Begin with One Last Chance (and meet Daisy Kane from The Kane Brothers!)

Corner of Ocean and Bay — my first novel — is a YA romance about first loves and friendship. 

Keep an eye out for The Regret Duet, kicking off with Broken Lies, in March 2020!

Love & G-Spots by J.A.

Blurb:

A proper Southern girl never uses the F-bomb, considers sex toys in the bedroom, or taking erotic pictures for her fiancé. But I’m no longer a proper Southern girl. I’ve moved beyond my religious upbringing and my violent past. I’m ready to try new things with Hendrix, to prove to myself that I’m strong and sexy.
With the nudge of my best friend, I come up with a special Valentine’s Day gift for the love of my life. But being a famous singer quickly puts me in an unwanted spotlight and unleashes a media frenzy.
Now the people I love the most are reaping the consequences. Did I make a huge mistake?
Or is this the push I needed to create the life I’ve always wanted in the bedroom?

Author Interview

Hello and welcome, readers! We have J.A. Owenby here with us today. Jennifer, Thanks for visiting us.
Thank you. I’m happy to be here today.

How long have you been a writer, and how did you come to writing?
When I was five years old, my mom sold her first short story to a magazine. She read it to me, and I fell in love with her characters and plot. Even at that age, I began to write.

Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine’s Day Anthology.
Love & G-Spots is a novella based on characters from the Love & Ruin series. Gemma has slowly healed over a dark past and is still struggling to overcome her strict religious background concerning her intimate relationship with her fiancée. In this novella, she dips her toes into new territory to find the perfect sexy gift for Hendrix.

How did you come up with the storyline?
Since Hendrix and Gemma were existing characters, I wanted to expand on their story in a fun way that still dealt with issues women might face.

What inspires you to write?
Music. When I hear the right song, I see my characters and listen to them speak to each other. When they become that clear to me, it’s time to start writing.

What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance. I like a fast-paced book with a plot I can’t figure out.

What would you say is the one thing you are most passionate about outside of writing?
My family, traveling, and having fun.

When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
I watch a lot of movies and TV. I’m always looking for good characters and plot. I also love spending time on the lake with my husband and friends.

Tell us about your other books.
The Love & Ruin series is an ongoing series that includes romance, suspense, and real-life issues.

Where can readers find you?
Readers can find all of my books on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited

Satisfy My Craving by Sheri Lynn ~Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology Author Spotlight Interview @sherilynnauthor #sexyread #oppositesattract #steamyread #mustreadin2020 #romance #contemporaryromance #valentinesbooks #valentineromance #countrygirlcityboy #sexyromance #contemporary #romancereads #anthology #collection #holidayromance #spicyromreads


Blurb:

Luckee, Lucille Aiken, didn’t hide away from life in her uncomplicated, somewhat isolated existence; she simply didn’t desire exposing herself to certain behaviors. And Preston Ingram incorporated too many that tested her boundaries.
Rich. Hot. Smokin’ hot. Super sexy. Confident. Popular. Luckee didn’t want any part of it. But attraction is a beast not easily confined. And the more he pursues her, the weaker she becomes.
Some habits are hard to break, especially the ones we use as defense mechanisms. Preston is linked to the tragic event that altered Luckee’s perception of herself. Will she allow it tear them apart or join them together? Will he?

Author Interview

Hello and welcome, readers! We have Sheri Lynn here with us today. Sheri Lynn, Thanks for visiting us.
Thanks for having me.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I wrote my first novel in the early 1990’s after the birth of my second son.  It’s saved on a floppy disk somewhere.  I do have multiple paper copies stashed in a drawer.  I submitted it by snail mail a few times and received some great feedback but working full-time and raising a family put it on the back burner.  I always loved creating stories.  I was the fifteen-year-old secretly playing with her Barbie dolls and hiding it from everyone.

Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
My story, Satisfy My Craving, is about Luckee (Lucille) encountering Preston in one of a girl’s worst nightmare scenarios.  He’s the guy she met years earlier and crushed on hard.  As astounding as she finds it, he seems genuinely interested in her, but she can’t see the two of them ever lasting.  They have very little in common from her perspective.  

Luckee, Lucille Aiken, didn’t hide away from life in her uncomplicated, somewhat isolated existence; she simply didn’t desire exposing herself to certain behaviors.  And Preston Ingram incorporated too many that tested her boundaries.
Rich.  Hot.  Smokin’ hot.  Super sexy.  Confident.  Popular.  Luckee didn’t want any part of it.  But attraction is a beast not easily confined.  And the more he pursues her, the weaker she becomes.
Some habits are hard to break, especially the ones we use as defense mechanisms.  Preston is linked to the tragic event that altered Luckee’s perception of herself.  Will she allow it to tear them apart or join them together?  Will he?
    
How did you come up with the storyline?
I wrote a two-book series, The Heart Facts.  Preston is the brother of Jessica from those stories.  He was so good to his sister in The Heart Will Lead that I wanted him to find his great love.  I always wanted to write a story for him, and this anthology gave me the perfect opportunity.

What inspires you to write?
Stories that embed themselves in my mind until I have to give them life.  I hear it often from other authors, but there are characters and storylines that we eat, sleep, live, and breathe.  They are with us every second of the day and it’s exciting and fulfilling to be their voice and to share them.  

What is your favorite genre to read?
I bounce around.  Anything that is thought-provoking and well written.  I love romance, of course.  I enjoy mysteries, suspense, and horror on occasion.

What would you say is the one thing are you most passionate about outside of writing?
Oh gee.  My family and my pets.  I live a pretty simple life.  If and when I’m not writing, even when I am, I enjoy laughing and loving with and on my children, spouse, and all the critters I either own or find their way to my home.  I raised tadpoles last spring up until they became frogs and kept jumping out of their container.  A baby opossum lived in my garage for months.

When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
I enjoy traveling.  I love going to the beach and searching for unique shells.  I dabble with crafts.

Tell us about your other books.
I have written several Christmas romance stories.  The majority of my books are contemporary, but I have written a vampire romance, a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic series as Sheridan Knight, and a few historical suspense novellas.  They all have a HEA and the books in the series can be read as standalones though I would suggest reading them in order.

About the Author: 

Sheri Lynn also writes as Sheridan Knight.  She writes romance across several genres-contemporary, vampire, futuristic/post-apocalyptic, and a few novellas included in anthologies she categorizes as historical suspense.  She’s a hopeless romantic and can find a happily ever after in most situations and settings.  First published in 2014, she has followed with thirteen additional single or anthology titles with many more coming in 2020.
Sheri believes in writing romance ‘real.’  From the initial boundless promise of a new relationship, to the doubts and uncertain realities, and onto achieving the sought after happy-endings, including all the struggles in between, that’s ‘real’ romance to her.
She grew up an Army brat, so her childhood involved moving every three years. However, truly a southern gal, she currently splits her time in Alabama and Florida with her husband, two Chihuahuas, two Golden Retrievers, a mean cat, and a turtle. She has two sons, who live on their own, a daughter in college, and a stepson and stepdaughter.
