Tell me a little about you and your book.Me? Okay. Since I recently had an amazing one, I love my girls nights out and can rock a pair of stilettos hard but am a true geek at heart. I’ll make an ass out of myself in public if it means getting friends to laugh to tears. I’m a stay home mom of the two cutest kids ever, a middle child of five strong girls, and sometimes still feel like the awkward teen I used to be. I’ve wanted to be an author my whole life so right now I’m living that dream. And it rocks!
Fierce Dawn was my most challenging book to date to write and to get right. Particularly, it took time and patience and lots of very generous beta readers for me to introduce this new world through Sadie’s eyes. Thankfully the work is proving well worth it. The comment I most often get is that it keeps readers up all night, it’s un-put-downable. I’m not sure there is a higher compliment for an author.
Now get me to pick up Fierce Dawn in five words or less!
Get left breathless and hooked.
Under the Spotlight:
Coffee or tea?
Coffee, all day long until it’s time for wine!
Early riser or night owl?
A little bit of both. Before kids, I used to stay up late and sleep in late. Now, I stay up late and get up early. They got me trained.
Audi sedan, Toyota Prius, Honda minivan, or Ford 4x4?
Ford 4x4. I’m a truck girl. I love the look on faces when little me steps out of my beast of a truck.
Laptop or desktop?
Laptop on a lapdesk.
Dog person or cat cuddler?
I adore cats. They’re prissy and independent. I love dogs, too, but can’t imagine having one while my kids are so young. Puppies are like new babies.

Stolen Dreams by Stacey KennedyTess Jennings has the ability to see and talk to spirits. On a daily basis, they harass and annoy her to save their souls. Sometimes she helps, other times she ignores them, but one ghost will give her no choice. Kipp McGowan, a cop with the Memphis Police Department, uses his ghostly charms to gain her attention and forces her to expose herself to his partner.
As she’s pulled into the five year old cold case of Hannah Reid she wants no part of, she finds herself in more than one precarious situation. But that’s the least of her worries―Tess begins to have a serious problem on her hands. Kipp might be dead, but he’s drop-dead gorgeous and she’s beginning to forget that he’s a ghost.
Murder and corruption has brought Tess and Kipp together. But as her feelings for Kipp deepen, she suspects she just signed herself up for a one-way ticket to the nut house, and can only hope, straitjackets come in a size four.
Cattitude by Edie RamerIt's all in the Cattitude...

But she doesn't count on falling in love with her former owner. Or that a CEO and a beauty queen want to use up her nine lives. Now is her chance to prove anything a human can do, a cat can do better.
Lovers torn apart by history
Bound for eternity
I enjoyed the interview with Amber Scott. I have to be a fan if nothing more than she like one of my favorite songs by Justin Timberlake, Until the End of Time. :-) Great interview and I love your blog layout.
