Maggie  Adams

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Maggie Adams, Maggie Adams is an internationally bestselling romance author. Her first book in the Tempered Steel Series, the romantic comedy-Whistlin’ Dixie, debuted in Top 100 for Women’s Fiction, Humor, on November 2014. Since then, she has consistently made the various best seller 5-star list with her Tempered Steel Series.

She also writes paranormal romance, women’s erotica, and women’s fiction. Maggie’s books can be found on eBook and paperback on her website www.maggieadamsbooks.com and all major book sites.
When she’s not writing, she can be found dancing, singing and cooking (usually all at the same time), and spending time with her family and friends.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

popcorn is my favorite snack anytime, but don’t place a cheesecake in front of me – it’ll be gone before you hand me the napkin! Yum! When writing, I usually don’t snack, but have lemon water with plenty of ice next to me. As for noise level, I like to have on soothing instrumental music to write, but developing characters and plotlines, I plug in the headphones and hit Pandora for a variety of songs until one sparks an idea, then I’m off and dancing until I figure out the whole story or my knees say ‘enough!’ Place to sit? I have an office upstairs, but I hardly use it. Attractive Over Forty Man, aka, the hubs, likes me to be close during the evenings, so I write in the dining room or bring the laptop to the sofa.
It works pretty well, as I read passages out loud and he tells me whether a guy would actually say or do that. I have learned that no guy is going to talk about anything if a girl is naked, so those long romantic conversations happen AFTER the, well, you know.
I also run an in-home daycare, so I have to be careful what’s popping up on the laptop during the day. It makes for a limited time to write as I’m also very family oriented, but I manage to churn out three or four novellas and a couple of novels a year.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I LOVE meeting the folks on Facebook in real life! And being able to talk to other authors about our craft is so helpful. I always come away from book signings with renewed enthusiasm and ideas. But what I noticed from the first time I signed there and what continues to this day, is the Writers on the River is my Favorite Book Event. It’s like a great big family reunion of folks you really like! lol

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Jayne Ann Krentz. I started reading her historicals under Amanda Quick and fell in love with her style. I try to emulate her style within my own writing – humor, suspense, and smart, sassy women who aren’t wilting wallflowers.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

With the daycare and my own family obligations, it’s a hit and miss most days, but I do manage to write everyday. I can’t NOT write. Even if I write stuff at midnight after an exhausting day, I have to get it out. Now, it may be jibberish when I look at it the next day, but I can usually figure it out. I also use the dictation option on Word which helps when I don’t have a lot of time. I’ve found it’s the only program that can actually understand my fast paced Southern with some degree of accuracy.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

My first St. Louis book signing was PennedCon and I walked into the lobby wondering where in the world to go. I noticed a lady with a lanyard with the logo and asked her. She stood up from the sofa, looked at me and shouted, “Holy F***! It’s Maggie Adams!” She hugged me, told me all about my books, and I stood there stunned that someone actually knew who I was. Whenever I feel lost or a little depressed about my writing future, I remind myself that even if it all goes away tomorrow, I’ll have those wonderful memories and the fabulous people I’ve me through the years.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

Yes, I do. It’s a little notebook that my children gave to me. It has Winnie the Pooh on it and inside the cover they wrote how proud they were of me for trying to go after my dream and that one day everyone would know I was a great writer. I believe they were about 12 and 7 at the time. Its in a safe with our birth certificates, marriage license, and other sweet treasures.

My Review: Josie was enjoying her bachelorette party 3 days before her wedding with her closest friends drinking and have a blast when the doorbell rings and surprise her friends got her a stripper. The music and lap dance started and for some reason Josie had felt a spark between the stripper and herself, she shouldn’t be feeling things like that she getting ready to get married for Christ sakes. The next night her future husband went out with his friends and it was during a terrible storm, well one thing lead to another and something terrible had occurred. A few days later Josie was putting books away and one flew off the shelf into the middle of the room she knows she wasn’t going crazy but this book was amazing and i just loved it. Hilarious, heartwarming, heartbreak, and swooning this books has it all, and a little spook factor that your going to love as well.

Unexpected Surrender By JM  Walker

I am Luther Knight.

Powerful. Businessman. I own everything and everyone around me.

Until her.

Lexi Adams challenges me in ways I never knew I needed.

She’s defiant and stubborn, unwilling to show me her true submission.

She turns my whole world upside down and no matter how much I ignore it, I can’t help but

crave her.

When she becomes desperate, The Club is all that she has, and I watch as she falls for her

Master.

She’s confused, conflicted, and unable to decide who she wants more. Me or Him.

But the difference between her and I? I know what I want. Her.

And I won’t stop until I have her at my side.

Forever.

My Review: Omg where should i even begin this book was amazing. Lexi is struggling to keep her life together and keep her late mom’s deli above water and with her brother being sketchy as hell she has to over work her elf just to make it. One night Lexi hers a knock on her door and its her brother Charlie beaten to a pulp and once she got him pulled into the apartment a huge figured followed behind threatening his life. Luther was a powerful business man who didn’t like to be played with, he wasn’t afraid to kill someone who crossed him or went back on their word. With wanting to fix her brothers debt to Luther Lexi was pretty much going to sell her body to fix his dumb mistake. Well at this point I don’t want to give away to much but you definitely are going to want to read this book the twist and turns are amazing and your are going to fall in love with these characters.

Unlucky in Love by Cary Hart

‘Getting lucky’ is a phrase I could barely say without blushing…

Yep! I’m that girl. The one my friends call goody two shoes…

But…good girls don’t finish first. THEY—GET—DUMPED. Even after investing—no, wasting—six years of their life on the guy who was supposed to be the one.

So…I traded in my halo for a pair of horns!

Hello, world…Clover Kelly is single and ready to mingle!

Then it happened, I suddenly found myself starring in the dating game to beat all dating games.

While pouring out my heart to my best friend, my new quest for lust is accidentally broadcast live…ON THE RADIO! Yay, me!

Did I mention my best friend is an uber famous radio personality…and a guy? A really hot guy? Yeah, his face isn’t plastered all over town simply for his name…

When the requests to win my heart came pouring in and became date after horribly bad date – I couldn’t help but wonder…

Could he? Could we? I mean I’m already breaking all the rules.

What’s a girl gotta do to get lucky?

When Clover had her entire life planned out down to the wire every detail well the night she thinks she getting engaged to her boyfriend of 6 years well lets just say her life got flipped upside down and her perfect life plan got thrown out the window.

When Clover take Austin lunch at work she ends up sitting on the on air button at his radio show and ends up letting all of New York City know she’s single ready to mingle and is looking for that perfect man and that perfect O. With the help of her best gal pals and Austin will Clover be able to find the one, or has he always been right in front of her. This book is down right hilarious I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. If the conversations don’t have your rolling on the floor Kramer definitely will. You are not going to want to miss this one at all.

She is fierce.

She is loyal.

First Comes Love by Clara Stone

Some loves are undeniable. Some burn with the heat of summer.

When Homer Lovelly pulled over to help a stranded damsel in distress, he never expected he’d meet his soul mate. But from the moment Claire clocked him in the head with her boot—and then kissed him—he knew she was it.

She’d be his undoing.

Wild, sexy, and fearless, Claire is intoxicating. She’s also leaving at the end of summer, a few short weeks away. Homer knows he shouldn’t fall for her. He also knows he doesn’t have a choice. And with September rising fast on the horizon, he’s almost out of time.

The question is, can he convince Claire that what he feels is more than a summer fling, or will he watch as the woman he’s meant to marry walk out of his life forever?

My Review: All Clarie wanted was a few weeks of harmless summer fun, and a possible hook up here and there. when on her way to a party her uncle’s truck broke down and when a hot as hell cowboy stops to help her she thinks why not start the night off right. Homer was just trying to help a pretty lady out little did he know that he could catch feelings and one thing that Clarie doesn’t do is catch feeling. Will her mind get changed, or will they just be a hot summer fling and go their own ways once she leaves. this is once again another amazing story that follows another member of the Lovelly family. i love these books and this family

#WOTR20 #authorspotlight – Tabetha Waite

Tabetha Waite

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Tabetha Waite – I wanted to write since I was nine years old, but it wasn’t until I discovered the romance genre and happy endings that I decided I wanted to write historicals. I got my first publishing contract in 2016 and released “Why the Earl is After the Girl,” the first book in my Ways of Love series. Since then, I’ve won several awards for my novels. After transitioning to Indie, I’ve been involved in numerous anthologies with other authors. However, I did sign with Soul Mate Publishing for a historical paranormal that is set to come out in April.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I usually sit on my couch and I HAVE to listen to music! Different songs help to set the tone for certain scenes.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

The opportunity to meet people!

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Probably Lisa Kleypas or JR Ward

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I work part time as a lunch lady, so I generally write during the week before and after work. I’m off in the summer so I get a lot done then. I try to save my weekends for my family.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Honestly, any time a reader messages me and says how much they liked my book is pretty memorable. It gives me the motivation to keep writing, that I’m not doing this just for my personal enjoyment.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I have two actually. Midnight Bride by Kathleen Drymon was my bridge story from American to English history, and A Rose in Winter by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, just because it is so fascinating!

#WOTR20 #authorspotlight – Samantha Lind

Samantha Lind

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Samantha Lind! I’m a contemporary / sports romance author. I’m originally from Alaska, but call Iowa home now where I live with my two boys and my husband. If I’m not writing, I can usually be found with either my kindle in my hand or an earbud in listening to an audio book! By day, I’m an accountant and work from home. My kids (and husband!) all keep me busy as they all play hockey! Our love of hockey runs deep in our house, so much so that my largest series is based on a fictional hockey team!

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I have four go-to writing spots. 1) my couch! I’ll sit down after my kids are in bed and write for a few hours while watching TV. 2) My desk in my office. 3)Starbucks! I tend to get the most writing done when I pack it up and head to Starbucks for the day. I take my earbuds, get my Strawberry Refresher drink and let the words flow! 4) Last, if we’re on vacation, my husband will drive while I write in the car! I wrote about 80% of Marry Me while we rolled on down the road!

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting readers! Seriously you guys are the best!

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Kate Canterbary

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

Due to our busy family schedule, I don’t write everyday. I sometimes go a few weeks without writing. I try and give myself a few weeks off between books so I don’t burn out. I’m also very motivated by deadlines, so once I pick a release date and book my PR/editor/proofreader etc. all in, I do my best to stick to it! Having those dates in mind keeps me focused and on track for the most part.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

So many come to mind! Seeing feedback on my very first book baby! Attending my first signing and having a reader come up to me excited to meet me! Getting my first “orange tag” on amazon…. so many exciting moments I’ve had in the last couple of years!

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I’m not a paperback reader anymore, so I have very few.

#WOTR20 #AttendingAuthor #SeriesStarter Heat (Heat #1) by Jade C. Jamison


Rachel is about to get the happy ending she wasn’t expecting…

When Rachel Donahue arrives at the spa for her weekly massage, she is dismayed to discover her regular guy is gone but delighted to find he’s been replaced by a hotter-than-hell guy with magic hands. When her rubdown turns intimate, does she stay for the royal treatment or bolt when things get steamy?

All Rachel wanted was to relax at her weekly message with her massage therapist Mark and have him work the stress of work away. Well after finding out Mark had hurt himself in a skiing accident Rachel wasn’t sure she could let anyone else rub her troubles away, until she caught a glimpse of the sexy replacement and she didn’t mind it for one appointment. Spike started working his magic and well it was getting Rachel all hot and bothered, she was never going to see him again so why not let him take a little extra stress away from her. This is one book that you won’t be able to put down, it’s so good.

Review by Twinsie Dee

Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of Dirty Dancing, she—like Baby—won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance—and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?

#WOTR20 #authorspotlight – Ellis Leigh

Ellis Leigh

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Ellis Leigh, writer of words, drinker of coffee, mother of daughters, and manger of projects.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I’ve become addicted to Smart Sweets sour gummy bears and peach rings. They’re made of prebiotic fiber and only contain 3g of sugar per bag–so they’re healthy! At least that’s what I like to tell myself. If I’m not eating low carb, I’ll have some Smart Pop popcorn around. And coffee (during the day) or flavored water (at night). I write on my couch with my feet up and my laptop in my lap (it’s not just a clever name after all) and require quiet–no music, no television.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I LOVE getting to interact with other authors. Plus just being around books! But my favorite–the absolute bestest thing in the world about being at a signing–is interacting with my readers. They are the sweetest, and I adore meeting them and sharing our love of the worlds I’ve built. Definitely come see me, give me a hug, and talk books with me. I’ll love you forever.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I got to meet mine! It’s Kelley Armstrong, and I walked up to her during a convention and fangirled all over the place. It was terrifying and awkward and perfect all at once.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I’m a woman who prefers structure, so I get up early and write for an hour before I have to get ready for work. Every weekday, I do this. Evenings and weekends I’ll work on admin things if I need to, but usually I just knit and hang out with my daughters. That first hour of the day is mine, though. Totally.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I was at a huge reader convention in Dallas a few years back–totally in line for coffee in my pajamas, mind you–and a reader screamed my name from across the lobby. I love that memory and pull it up whenever I’m feeling a little not-so-great. Whoever she was, she totally made my year!

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I own paperback copies and a few of the graphic novels from Kelley Armstrong’s Women Of The Otherworld series. Those sit on a top shelf right along with my Harry Potter and Twilight collections. They’re sacred to me.

#RELEASEBLITZ – NEVER KISS A ROCKSTAR by Sarah Darlington


Title: NEVER KISS A ROCKSTAR

Author: Sarah Darlington

Release Date: December 5th

Series: The NEVER TRUST Series, Book 2
Themes: Rockstar, No-Rules, Steamy Contemporary Romance


ONE NIGHT WITH THE DRUMMER OF SUNSET REVIVAL?

Yes, I’m game.


Dani Mills, drummer of the world-famous band, Sunset Revival, doesn’t have time for romance. Touring with her bandmates across the country, she’s content with meaningless sex: one-night-stands, no kissing, no personal details. These are her rules…and there are never exceptions.


John Michaels lives a life of seclusion in Corolla, North Carolina. He works, eats, and sleeps—and is perfectly content with his lifestyle. He doesn’t have the time, or energy, to deal with people. Or relationships. Especially women relationships.


When Sunset Revival gets stranded on the beach, it’s John who is asked for shelter. With his sexy-as-sin good looks—covered in ink with blue eyes so deep they shine—Dani finds herself desperate for one night in his bed. That’s all either of them wants, really…one night, no-strings, no promise of tomorrow.


Yet, when one night turns into two, both find themselves breaking their own rules. Thrust into a whirlwind of passion and desire, the pair struggle to maintain the upper hand, with John learning the hardest lesson of all…never kiss a Rockstar.

#WOTR20 #5YearFamily #AuthorSpotlight – Jenna Jacob

Jenna Jacob

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hey gang! My name is Jenna Jacob and I’m super excited to be here with the sexy, sultry ladies of Twinsie TalkI If you haven’t made it to Writers On The River yet – you NEED to go. It’s an amazing event and I’m honored to be a part of ALL the fun!! Okay, about me – well…I’ve been writing for almost seven years and have a couple of hot and steamy BDSM series out: The Doms Of Genesis and another that I co-author with Shayla Black and Isabella LaPearl called, The Doms Of Her Life. I also have a sizzling hot contemporary series: The Hotties Of Haven as well as a new smoking hot contemporary series to be announced soon. Please feel free to follow me on any or all social media platforms.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

Okay – So I work out of my office which was converted from my old dining room. So I’ve got space (which never fails to fill up) for books, books, and more books. My go to’s are: Coffee, Diet Coke, and chocolate. (Always around 3:00 pm when I’m crashing from all the morning coffee LOL) I like quite when I edit, but when I’m writing I gotta have ALL the music. I listen to a lot of different stations either on Pandora, Amazon music, or any number of playlists I’ve got stashed away.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

The READERS!! OMG – ya’ll are AMAZING! I love meeting new people, catching up with friends from the year before, and hugging the stuffing out of everybody!! I wouldn’t be even be at a signing if it weren’t for you guys!!

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I’m a lucky lady! I’ve already met my Unicorn Author: Dean Koontz!

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I’m a Virgo so I am a schedule FREAK! I usually set a word count for 3,000 words for the day. I don’t always achieve that number depending on L-I-F-E, but it helps me formulate release dates and helps me stay on track. Oh, look….a squirrel. (Yeah, I do that a LOT!! LOL)

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I have a LOT of favorite memories so far. Getting the chance to meet – in person – people I talk to on social media is always a thrill. But one I’ll never forget is the first time a reader came up to me, and asked for my autograph. I’m sure I had that preverbal Deer-In-The-Headlights look on my face. LOL

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

OMG if you could see my bookshelves you’d be asking: How in the world is she going to answer that one? LOL Actually, the book that I most treasure isn’t in my office. It’s in the family room. It’s a cookbook from 1847 that my husband Sean’s grandmother gave to me before she died. And I found the best Bread Pudding recipe in that sucker… OMG it’s to die for!! LOL
