Buy on Amazon Buy on Apple Buy on Nook Buy on Kobo Buy on Google PlayAs the story of Succession is based directly on the themes and characters of King Lear, it would be a mistake to overlook this Shakespearean classic. With Logan Roy directly linking to the fragility and influence of King Lear himself, it’s easy to see how this tragic play has influenced the writing of Succession.

The decisions of King Lear and his three daughters set off a series of tragic events that lead to a drastic evolution of not only the King’s own family dynamics but also the political dynamics of his kingdom. With freshly edited text based on the early printed version of the play, explanatory notes, and so much more, the Folger Shakespeare Library’s edition of King Lear is known to be trusted and widely used by students and general readers of Shakespear alike.

by Willow Winters
I really needed something sexy and sweet, something easy but addictive. I'm a mood reader AND a mood writer.
The escape that I needed with A Little Bit Dirty was one with hot chemistry, swoony banter, and a rugged blue-collar mechanic with a dirty mouth.
Bri and Asher's second chance in this small town romance is exactly what my friends say they think of when they hear "romance novel". It's flirty and gives all those mushy feels but there's also a gut punch and emotions I'm known for.
Asher broke his high school sweetheart's heart while she was away at college. Bri comes home years later and can't get away from him, or from her feelings that are still very much alive and well.
In a small town that remembers everything and spreads rumors like wildfire, Bri finds herself caught in the heat of the moment and the memories of what they used to be.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Caught Looking?
When I started thinking about this series, the idea for this book came first, but the way the series unfolded, it ended up being the last book in the series. I thought what if a college baseball player went to play summer collegiate ball but fell for the girl who lived at his host house. The idea had merit, but then I increased the tension by making the host be his coach and a strict preacher.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Caught Looking, what would they be?
I don’t usually think of songs for my books, but Don’t Matter by Akon would be the main theme song. It doesn’t matter who or what people say, Dalton will always have Cassie’s back. These two couldn’t be any different and yet are totally made for each other.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Romance, romance, and did I mention romance? I started out writing young adult because I wrote books for my daughter, but she grew up and I switched to writing what my heart likes.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I don’t even want to look at my TBR pile. Working full time outside of writing, I have limited time to read, which is a shame. But it’s also the reason my kindle is loaded with books yearning to be read.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I loved the scene when Dalton helps carry a Victorian Chesterfield chaise. Two things occur in that scene. The old lady flirting with Dalton cracks me up, and this is the first time the walls come down and they can be themselves around each other.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
No. I write when I can steal time. In the morning before work. During lunch. Cafe shops for a work break I shouldn’t take. Any window of time, I’m usually writing.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Years ago, I was at the bookstore looking for stocking stuffers for my children. On a bookmark, a shortened quote, “Never, never, never quit” from Winston Churchill stood out to me. Needless to say, each child received that bookmark, and I have repeatedly reminded them of his words. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t live by that motto myself.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Fight for yourself and for the one you love.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write How to Spot a Psychopath?
I knew I wanted to write a psychological book about a practitioner, and the types of experiences he encounters. At the time there was a bunch of buzz about introverts in the world and the power of choosing not to talk, and it got me thinking about situations where people would be unlikely to be able to remain quiet, such as to clear their name. I really wanted to tell an insidious story about the ways people are isolated. Predators don’t always have sharp teeth, and the reality of what is happening can come down to perception.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of How to Spot a Psychopath, what would they be?
Love this question. I have a Spotify playlist for the changing moods of the book. Oscar – Fix you (Coldplay), Jess – Jungle (Emma Louise), and Holly – Fly Away (Lenny Kravitz).
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
That very much depends. I tend to go through ‘reading seasons’ where I might read a lot of one genre like psychological / domestic thrillers, but then change to fantasy, horror or women’s fiction. I always go back to thrillers and suspense though.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Sooo many. But at the top of the pile, there’s The IT Girl by Ruth Ware. I just finished The Baby Shower by SE Lynes and I just couldn’t put it down it was such a compulsive read.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The scene where Jess decides to talk openly to Oscar. It was a real turning point in their relationship, and it was fun exploring how Jess was dealing with a very difficult situation.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
The place I do my best writing is with my laptop on a sofa pillow on the sofa. I think it’s because it’s such a comfortable place of reading, and it puts me in that writing mood.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I saw a Ted Talk by Jia Jang about feeling fear and taking a risk anyway. It was a catalyst for really taking the plunge with writing and getting the book written and out there. (Jia Jiang: What I learned from 100 days of rejection)
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
We’ve all encountered someone who has tried to manipulate us, get us out of the way, or played games with us, but that shouldn’t shut you down, or stop you from being who you are.
