#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m a full-time author of sexy contemporary romance. My first book released in August 2014, and I’ve had the pleasure of writing over 70 books in the last 11 years. I write small-town romance and weave in all my favorite sub-tropes, like single parents, surprise pregnancy, second chance, friends to lovers, workplace romance, and best friend’s sister/brother. I live in a small town in central Illinois with my husband, youngest daughter, grumpy cat, rambunctious puppy, and a chicken!

 

How did you hear about this event?  How many years have you attended?

I believe I saw the sign-up form on FB for the very first WOTR. I had only done 1 signing before that one, so I was incredibly nervous. Signings were still way out of my comfort zone, but I immediately felt at ease. WOTR quickly became my favorite signing, and I’ve been fortunate to attend all 11 events!

 

What genres do you write?

Contemporary romance

 

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

Grip. It was originally part of K. Bromberg’s Driven World, and I feel most people thought they had to read all of the World books, but that wasn’t the case. It’s a great second chance, surprise baby book with tons of feels!

 

What is one fun fact about you?  It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….

I love to buy plants and flowers, but have the brownest thumb alive. 🙁

Cowboys, Fake Relationship

#NewRelease #Romance #Cowboy #FakeMarriage #BestFriends – Every Single Vow, Every Single Series book 2 by S.J. Chaynie

Leave a comment

Every Single Vow is a small town, childhood friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, cowboy romance.

I was ten years old when I met Cooper Mayson. Thirteen when he threw his first punch for me. Eighteen when my world crumbled beneath my feet and he promised he’d always take care of me. He was my constant. But with a last name like Sterling, and the tarnished reputation that came along with it, I’ve always kept him at arm’s length. He was the golden boy with a loving family, and a ranch with a polished legacy. I was the girl with an absent mother, a father in prison, and a destination for nowhere. But now I was staring at a stranger. One that looked just like me. A little sister I knew nothing about. A child who had nowhere to go. I couldn’t let her be another face lost in the system. But no judge in this town would give a child to me with my last name. It was hopeless. Until my best friend made me an offer. To give me his. Sounds simple enough. A temporary marriage so I can gain fully custody, then have an amicable divorce. Problem is, I’ve been in love with my best friend since I was ten years old. And after only two weeks of being a Mayson, I realize, this marriage might not be as fake as I thought. Behind closed doors the act doesn’t end. Every kiss pulls me deeper; every whisper heals my heart. It almost makes me believe I’m good enough for him. But if there’s once soul in this world that I refuse to taint, it’s Cooper Mayson’s.

Every Single Vow is book two of the Every Single Series. It can be read as a standalone. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

GIRL!!!!  When I got this book I was hella mad I was in vacation and had to wait a few days.  Needless to say when I got home I sat and devoured this book.

I loved this family when we met them in Ivy and Maddox book but LAWD was  I wanting to know about Cooper and Dakota.  This book did NOT disappoint.  *Fans Self* Cooper is everything you want for a best friend but also a fake or not so fake husband.

This story throws a few plot twists that had me going…oh snap but the main focus is the love Cooper and Birdie have for each other with out ever admitting that love.  When they do admit it, thanks to a little bet between Cooper and Ari, its all ON!!

I was al excited for all this book contained from the love, friendship, family, and shocks that SJ Loves to throw your way in her stories.  But I am so excited to see about Laiken and the bull rider.  Things are going to be WILD!!

 

S.J. Chaynie is a small-town Texas girl who has found a love for writing. She enjoys writing romance, with a sprinkle of suspense, and a little humor. If she is not busy writing her newest ideas, she is spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She believes a good book and a lot of laughs is the best medicine. She brings suspense, love, angst, and sometimes the occasional heartbreak to her stories. Always a HEA, but every character and story she holds close to her heart and hopes they touch yours as well.

#WOTR26 #Audio #Romcom – Text2Lovers by JD Hollyfield and K Webster

Leave a comment

 

It’s the start of nothing good.
I fired off a storm of raunchy text messages…to the wrong number.
And he replied.
Him: Show me a picture.
Him: Tell me your name.
Why does the lure of anonymity have me craving to indulge a stranger?

It’s the start of everything right.
I received a slew of text messages…when everything in my life was wrong.
And she made me laugh again.
Her: You’re probably a creeper.
Her: Possibly a stalker.
Why do I have the overwhelming need to find this stranger who saved me and make her mine?

Him: Take a chance with me.
Her: This is crazy.
Him: I need to see you.
Her: What are we doing?
Him: We’re about to find out.

Her: PHOTO ATTACHED
Him: PHOTO ATTACHED

I purchased this book.

I met JD Hollyfield at a book event and thought she was adorable. I knew she has audio books and I had credits so here we are!! I grabbed this book based solely on the premise of texting the wrong number. I mean brilliant is todays society who hasn’t texted the wrong person once or twice.

Ram is a hilarious stalker….LOL I mean he is pretty in to Dani from jump and when they actually see face to face he was 100 in all the way. Dani texted Ram accidently when she was drunk texting her ex boyfriend. The two start to daily chat but Dani gets in her head about the WHAT IF. Ram is not going to stop from meeting this girl who has become his everything.

I loved the story and how they met was amazing. The chemistry between the two was great but Andi and Roman have them beat hands down. LOL I was so captivated by the story I couldn’t stop and was super sad when it ended until that prologue dropped and I was in a fit of giggles. Another credit gone to see what happens with Andi and Roman.

Creative designer, mother, wife, writer, part-time superhero…

USA Today Bestselling author J.D. Hollyfield is a creative designer by day and superhero by night. When she is not trying to save the world one happy ending at a time, she enjoys the snuggles of her husband, sons, and doxies. With her love for romance, and a head full of book boyfriends, she was inspired to test her creative abilities and bring her own story to life.

J.D. Hollyfield lives in the Midwest and is currently at work on blowing the minds of readers, with the additions of her new books and series, along with her charm, humor, and Happily Ever After’s.

#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Kate Hawthorne and here is my official author bio: Kate Hawthorne (she/her) is an author of character-driven LGBT romance, known for crafting emotionally intense stories with high heat and a kinky twist. Creating worlds where passion and angst collide, Kate’s books bring you complex protagonists in fearless pursuit of self-exploration and happy—if not sometimes unconventional—endings for everyone.
​
The less official side of me would tell you my favorite color was green, I’ve been an avid reader since Kindergarten, I’m obsessed with rocks and the moon, and my favorite kind of karaoke is in the car.

 

How did you hear about this event?  How many years have you attended?

I don’t even remember how I found out about WOTR but I’m so glad I did!! 2021 was supposed to be my first year, but that didn’t happen before of covid, so I’ve been in person since 2022!!

 

What genres do you write?

I write kinky and contemporary LGBT+ romance…primarily MM, almost always angsty and almost always kinky.

 

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

Humbled! It’s the first book in my Trophy Doms Social Club series and it’s an age gap romance, which is one of my favorite tropes! It’s also a great place to start your journey with my backlist because it’s a jumping off point to go forward or backward!

 

What is one fun fact about you?  It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….

I believe in ghosts!

#WOTR26 #EventSponsor – Angie Wade with Novel Nurse Editing

#WOTR26 Sponsor Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Angie Wade, and I’ve been editing for the indie-pub community for ten years. I specialize in fantasy and modern romance but edit all fiction genres outside of poetry, working with both traditionally published authors as well as independently published authors. I got my start working with a small press based out of the UK and as an editor for a small editing company based out of Florida. I am a full member of ACES, the society for editing, earned my copyediting certificate from the University of San Diego, have hosted write-ins in my local community as well as online, particularly during the pandemic, and attend writing workshops and book signings both locally and across the country when I get the opportunity. My weakness is managing social media, though I love to connect.

My favorite genres to read are fantasy, dystopian, and mystery-thriller, and I live in Central Florida with my husband and two young daughters. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, going camping, and going on adventures with my family. I love learning how language has and will continue to evolve, both spoken and written, as well as what inspires us to write. Working with stories and helping writers with the delivery of their passion continues to inspire me, and I look forward to continuing my literary journey for years to come.

 

How did you hear about this event?  How many years have you attended?

I heard about Writers on the River through my client and friend AJ Renee. I have physically attended 5 years, 2018 and 2022-2025, and participated online during 2020.

 

What is your favorite part of sponsoring?

My favorite part of sponsoring WOTR is the support of my brand and name among others in the indie community. Sponsoring and attending gives me the opportunity to connect with the professionals I enjoy working with, as well as giving my products visibility to a niche target market.

 

What is one fun fact about you?  It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….

I decided 40 was the age I wanted to learn to skateboard, and though that year has come and gone, I’m still embracing the sport. After a year and a half, I’ve achieved as much skill as a 10-year-old who’s been learning for two weeks. Hey, progress is progress!

Victoria Danann

#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Victoria Danann. I’m a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. I’ve been #1 on Amazon eighteen times. Have sold 3 1/2 million books. My first series was voted best paranormal romance series five years in a row. Three times Goodreads book of the month. Sixteen times Night Owl Reviews TOP PICK.

Seventh generation Texan. Born in Austin. Grew up in Fort Worth. Live in Houston now.

I have an MA in psychology but walked away after two sessions with clients. Hated it. I also studied comparative religion, myths, and medieval history at the graduate level.

My goal is to outsell Rebecca Yarros. LOL

 

How did you hear about this event?  How many years have you attended?

Teresa Gabelman and I are good friends/collaborators who’ve been comrades in paranormal romance since 2013.

 

What genres do you write?

romantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, midlife paranormal, new adult

 

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

The Witching Hours. It’s a big, juicy collection of short stories that are semi-autobiographical and would be closest aligned with women’s paranormal fantasy. It was a big risk to write and narrate this book because a collection of shorts is outside the ordinary. But people who take the plunge and read it, love it! KINDLE UNLIMITED https://www.amazon.com/Witching-Hours-Victoria-Danann-ebook/dp/B0D9C258KQ

 

What is one fun fact about you?  It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….

I was an evening wear designer in the eighties and had a showroom in New York. You could find my dresses in Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, all over Europe and South America, and on the red carpet. I was flat out copied by very famous designers whose names you’d recognize.
