The Perfect Lap

GENRE:  Contemporary Romance

INTERVIEW:

Do you ever wish you were someone else?

No. I believe we’re all here for a purpose and we have unique skills and talents to share with the world.

What did you do on your last birthday?

My mom came to Tennessee to visit and I spent a lovely day hanging out with her. We didn’t do anything wild and crazy, but just having her with me made the day-to-day things we did feel extra special.

What part of the writing process do you dread?

Marketing. I love every aspect of the actual writing process—characterization, planning, plotting, writing, and editing. I would love to spend all of my time on writing and leave the marketing to someone else. I suppose in some ways I do just that. My husband handles most of the marketing process and I’ve hired GoddessFish to host tours. With that said, I enjoy interacting on social media with both readers and authors. I’m most active on Twitter.

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?

Yes. I imagine most writers suffer from writer’s block at one time or another. It happens to me most often when I’m super busy or super tired. Depending on when my writer’s block occurs, I either put my manuscript away and try again later when I’m fresh, or I take a pause and try to find inspiration. Some of the things I do to find inspiration are listen to music, meditate, or go outside. When I walk in the fields with my dog, I almost always find my muse.

The Perfect Lapis the second standalone novel in my Racing Hearts in Serenity series. A brief description follows.

AJ Ryan is a publicity nightmare. After a questionable photo surfaces and his biggest sponsor threatens topull out, the NASCAR champion admits it might be time to hit the brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just where to start… too bad she revs his engine so loudly he can barely think straight.

Ella Fisher’s career is a welcome distraction from her poor taste in men. Fresh off another easily avoidable heartbreak, rehabbing AJ’s career is just the diversion she needs. But when the pulse-pounding client actually listens to her advice, Ella wonders if there’s more to the man behind the hot mess.

When Ella is granted guardianship of three boisterous children under the misconception that she and AJ are a couple, AJ surprises her by going along with the charade. Before long they find themselves in a make-shift family that feels more real than pretend.

As their professional relationship takes a hard turn for the personal, a single overheard conversation could make it all go up in flames. Will Ella and AJ’s romance hit the wall, or will love take the checkered flag?

As with all of my novels, there are new age, spiritual themes imbedded in the story. In The Perfect Lap, these include gratitude, positive energy, and the idea that everyone is doing the best they can from where they are.

BLURB:

His job is to drive fast. Hers is to put the brakes on him. When sparks fly, will love cross the finish line?

EXCERPT:

“I bet you have a beautiful smile,” he drawled, then lowered his mouth to hers.

She should have pulled away—she didn’t know this man from Adam. But everything inside her protested. After gazing into each other’s eyes, she felt like she knew him intimately.

His lips were warm and tingly, his kiss pure perfection…and he drew back way too quickly. He blinked those deep blue eyes and gave her a lazy grin. “I knew it.” He rubbed the pad of his thumb over her lower lip. “Beautiful.”

That’s when she realized she was smiling.

He rose, and she gave him a quick once over, taking in the sexy stubble on his face, the taut muscles of his chest, his lean physique. As good old-fashioned lust rolled through her like a quick-moving thunderstorm, she silently bemoaned her situation. This was a hell of a time to have a newly implemented man-ban.

“Keep smiling.” Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he winked at her. “It suits you,” he added in that low, sexy drawl. Then he sauntered off.

Her breath caught as she spun around to gape at him. He’d just kissed her and now he was leaving? She contemplated calling him back, then reconsidered. She had other fish to fry.

Even so, she couldn’t stop herself from tracking his every move as he swaggered toward the party, his backside looking every bit as fine as the rest of him. Pressing a hand to her chest, she let out a slow exhale. Even though she was one-hundred percent committed to her man-ban, she could admit—at least to herself—that the sexy, charming stranger had intrigued her.
