Interview with Denise Hunter, Author of The Summer of You and Me

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Summer of You and Me?

While I was visiting my small hometown, I ran into someone who looked exactly like an old friend of mine. But my friend had left town years ago—so who was this doppelgänger? I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out who this person could be. Before I knew it, a story began brewing in my mind about a widow who thinks she sees her late husband in a crowd—but before she can speak with him, he disappears into the fray.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Summer of You and Me, what would they be?

Josh’s is definitely “In Case You Didn't Know” by Brett Young. I actually used the song in the story. His unrequited love is quite heartbreaking at times!

Maggie’s is “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. She’s come through a lot and is so deserving of a happy ending.

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Contemporary romance, the same genre I write. It's always my goal to write the book I want to read.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

"The Sands of Sea Blue Beach" by Rachel Hauck and "Great Big Beautiful Life" by Emily Henry.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The first kiss scene is actually a flashback. Yowza. And all the scenes in which the Reynolds family is together. I loved writing the family dynamics—the humor and drama that happen when so many personalities are gathered.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

My favorite way to write is with a Baja Blast Zero at my fingertips.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Treat others just as you want to be treated.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I think there's a lot to be said in the story about what it means to be family. Much of it has nothing to do with genetics.

This is the continuing mission of Agent Slade, a spy fighting evil in a dangerous future world.

I enjoy reading and writing romantic suspense, thrillers, and mysteries because I like twists and turns that surprise me.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden is my next read.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The ending was both difficult and exciting to write because the danger level was flipped up to EXTREME...

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I can write almost anywhere, but my special quirky spot is to sit in the window seat at the local coffee shop on Saturday mornings to write.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Love will conquer hate... eventually.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I hope readers are swept up in the mission and adventure with Heather and her team while also getting a taste of how hard it would be to live under a dictator.

Interview with Prabha Karan, Author of Cherish or Perish

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Cherish or Perish?

I wrote Cherish or Perish after witnessing how easily people lose control of their lives, not from lack of knowledge, but from failing to master their Intellect. I felt called to reveal how this inner force shapes everything, and to help others reclaim their clarity, power, and purpose before it’s too late!

What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Non-fiction; Self-Help.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

At this moment, none.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The last section of Chapter 04, section "It’s Not Too Late to Save Yourself."

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

"The way to gain anything is to lose it! (Lose the Craving Mentally!)

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

Strengthen Your Intellect; Save the World!
