Boy teases girl. Girl drives boy crazy. Both are in store for an unforgettable night.

Penelope
Growing up next door to the Ford brothers meant two things were constant in my life: my ever present best friend and his always annoying older brother. It seemed Sebastian was either teasing or ignoring me and over the years I’d grown accustomed to both. But now we’re all in college and everything seems to be changing by the minute. Sam isn’t so present anymore and Sebastian… Well, he definitely isn’t ignoring me.
Sebastian
Penelope Blake. The girl had worked her way under my skin from the first time she skipped into my front yard. She’s the girl who irked me, challenged me, and found new ways to drive me crazy every day since. She is also the girl who could ruin everything between my brother and me.

Happy Wednesday… and Happy September!

I love the way a new month feels. Typically on the first Wednesday of every month, I sit down with a fellow author and dive into their creative process while getting a between the covers look at one of their books. Are you as excited as I am?

Without further ado, let’s get into this month’s chat with author Heidi McLaughlin.

Thanks for taking the time to chat today, Heidi!

Happy Wednesday!

Typically on the first Wednesday of every month, I sit down with a fellow author and dive into the creative process and go behind the scenes of one of their books. Well, today is not the first Wednesday of June, but we’re definitely talking to an author today. 

I recently made the acquaintance of this author and am excited to let her talk about her books and hopefully find some new readers among you. 
Without further ado, let’s get into this month’s chat with author Sedona Rose

Thanks for taking the time to chat today, Sedona!

Can you share something about your current book that isn’t in the blurb?

SR: It’s part two of Sweet & Sour, which is from my Jones Hills Holiday Series. You’ll get more into depth with the main characters while meeting new ones.

Are there any secrets from the book, you can share with readers? 

SR: The title of the new book is Let Me Show You, and it will be a spin-off for the baseball series that I have coming soon! So, make sure you pay attention to the new characters I bring! 

Do you write while listening to music? If so, what music inspired or accompanied this current book?

SR: Yes, the theme song for Let Me Show You is “Show You” by Baby Rose. If you listen to the words of the song, it pretty much sums up the story. Song Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eQuB0U49YU

What is the future of the characters? Will there be a sequel?

SR: Can’t answer the first part without spoiling it lol but the second part, yes there’ll be one more book in Dec/Jan that will wrap up the series. 

If you had to describe the main character in THREE words, what would those three words be?

If your book was going to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it?

SR: I would love to have Mitchell Edwards from All- American: Homecoming and Geffri Hightower also from All-American: Homecoming.

Who is your favorite author and why?

SR: My favorite author of all time is Nic Stone. I love her because she’s unapologetic about herself. She writes books for her, and she believes that what she writes changes the world. She’s what I inspire to be in the black indie romance world.

Who is the author you most admire in your genre?

SR: Alexandra Warren

What famous author do you wish would be your mentor?

SR: I have two lol, Nic Stone or Alexandra Warren.
