16 Apr 2018
What can you tell us about your new release, Come As You Are?
Come As You Are is a sexy romantic comedy about a brilliant and charming sexy nerd hero who’s an (almost) billionaire, the clever and loyal woman he falls for, and they way their worlds collide at a masquerade party in a smoldering secret rendez-vous…
What’s on your top 5 list for the best books you’ve ever read?
Harry Potter of course!
I also love A River Runs Through It by Norm Maclean
Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren
Who is your favorite couple from literature?
That’s a brutal question! The answer changes depending on the year and what I’m reading. I do love Hannah and Will from Beautiful Player though!
What is a typical day like for you?
Mostly it consists of feeding and walking dogs, hunting for chocolate, and answering text messages from my kids about where they left their homework. In between them, I endeavor to bang out a few thousand words 🙂
Where is your happy place? Why does it bring you joy?
Dogs are my happy place. I have four dogs and I regularly foster dogs too for a local rescue. The love of a dog is so pure and honest, and they bring me complete delight and true happiness.
What scene in Come As You Are was your favorite to write?
The scene at the masquerade ball!! Swoon. The moment when Flynn and
Sabrina first meet in their costumes and feel that electric chemistry!
