Live life as a date
The two main characters, Dante and Sophie, are dining at his house. “I hope you’ll like our dinner.” “Why wouldn’t I? Are you a bad cook?” “Oh, I’m not much on cooking, but I’d like to learn. Signing up for a cooking class, in fact.” Dante had trouble looking me in the eye. The poor guy was nervous. Jack led the way into the kitchen. Wine glasses and the bottle opener sat waiting on the…
Author Mike Torreano writes about right and wrong, values that characterized the Old West. "Values we could use more of today." He was inspired when a friend approached him a while back and said he had the idea for Mike's next novel. He spun a fascinating story about thousands and thousands of gold bars supposedly hidden under a peak north of Las Cruces. "I had to know more. What I found was a legend that never…
Lucy aimed her phone at Deon’s Patrick Dempsey hair. The young Patrick. “Throw your head back. Run your hand through your––” “No way.” “Come on. Unbutton a few buttons.” He’d been working out more, she could tell by the swell in his arms and chest. The nerd was looking good. “Stop it.” He held his hand up blocking her view. “You’re all gussied up for this eight-minute dating thing. I just wanted to mark…
“So, this is what it’s like being on a date with you.” Dana hesitated—caught herself. “This isn’t a date, is it? Her voice flattened and she took a sip of wine. “Oh, I’m not belittling your gesture, bringing me to this fine establishment. But it isn’t a date because you’re seeing that woman, aren’t you? The one you asked me for advice about.” Alex fidgeted. Idiot. Asking Dana how to recognize the signs a woman was interested––what had he been thinking? What could be more awkward? This.…
It was after six, and in the last fifteen minutes, I’d checked my watch three times, holding my wrist at lap level so Donald, my latest meet, wouldn’t notice. Nope, too busy texting. On my second glass of wine––we’d hit the early bird special, Donald’s suggestion––at a new fish place on the water, The Fin and Tater. The air surrounding us held the briny scent of fresh tuna and their specialty, fifteen potato dishes, from…
Writing a book about ice cream for the One Scoop or Two series by The Wild Rose Press is oh, so tough, but author Darlene Fredette enjoyed the research for Cherry Red. So thrilled she's talking about her new release! What do you write and how did you choose a title? I write contemporary romances. The title was inspired by a Rolling Stones song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want." There is a part…

Julie Howard's time travel mystery takes you back to 1872. What do you write? What's the fun part of writing and why did you write this particular book? I primarily write mystery stories, but love all genres. I find there is some type of mystery in every genre; this is what drives a reader forward to discover what will happen next with the main character. There just happens to be a murder or two in…
