#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Stacey – Author, blogger, traveler, tea-drinker. I also like to take photographs. I like 80s dance parties. I love apocalypse movies. I tend to eat a lot of appetizers. I think Magic 8 balls are a valid way to make decisions. And I think the point of being an adult is the right to have ice cream for dinner if that’s what you want. But I only do that occasionally. I dream of being multi-lingual. I am currently very far from this goal. I’m always on the lookout for new adventures. I think my child-like enthusiasm for life is endearing. Hopefully, my friends and loved ones agree. I yoga on occasion. I feel Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best TV show ever made. Veronica Mars a very close second. I was a closeted romantic for years but recently came out. I frequently watch horror movies alone – and then regret it. I like beautiful oddities. Thundersnow is my favorite weather phenomenon. I consume a lot of wine and conversation.

 

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

This will be my second year. I think I initially discovered WOTR on Facebook

 

What genres do you write?

Spicy romantic suspense and contemporary romance

 

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

Tattoo My Love

 

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

I once met Kurt Vonnegut! And I’ve been to over 50 countries.

BB Swann

#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

BB Swann is my author name. My real name is the name of a perpetually pregnant cartoon character on Family Guy. IYKYK

 

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

I heard about it from a friend who is an author. 2024 was my first year of WOTR and it was fantastic! I came again this year and will be attending in 2026. Always a great showing of readers and it benefits one of the causes near and dear to my heart.

What genres do you write?

I currently have a picture book and young adult romance and fantasy. Hopefully by next year, I’ll add a couple more to the list!

 

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

Flirting With Death’s Grace is probably most representative of who I am as an author. It’s a YA urban fantasy about a young man with a drug and alcohol addiction who meets his death angel and begs her for a second chance. It’s about learning how to love yourself even when you haven’t been all that loveable.

 

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

I have 10 DIFFERENT autoimmune diseases. Yeah. Good times.

#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Amanda Zook. I grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania and started reading romance books in middle school. I cut my teeth on the old historical romance books otherwise known as the bodice rippers and eventually transitioned into romantic suspense, which is what I currently write. I’m closing in on the end of my Nighthawks Search and Rescue series and will be sad to say goodbye to them. This year, I started a new series in Susan Stoker’s Operation Alpha world called Condor’s Overwatch and I hope you’ll give the new team a try.

 

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

2026 will be my 3rd year attending and I can’t wait to see familiar faces and hope to meet a whole gaggle of new ones.

 

What genres do you write?

Romantic suspense, contemporary romance

 

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

Jolene’s Justice. It deals with an issue that is not talked about enough in our society.

 

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

 

In kindergarten, I had to get nine stitches under my eye because I tried to take my cat down a flight of stairs in a baby carriage (think the old British pram style). I made it one step before tumbling down the rest. The cat never let me carry him around steps again.

#WOTR26 #Dark #Stalker – EverGreene by Sara Furlong Burr

Everleigh

I packed up my life, moving halfway across the country for a fresh start. Running away from my past, running away for my future. A year later, I’ve settled into my new home, my new job, my new friends, and my new identity. You could say things have started returning to normal.

Normal, if not for him.

His identity is a mystery to me, but I know he’s there, watching me, leaving tokens outside my door. The gifts he sends are personal and deliberate, proving he has eyes everywhere—even where I least expect it.

For months, he remained hidden in the shadows until a chance encounter with a masked man at a Halloween party led to a one-night stand and a box delivered containing the most personal gift from him yet: A feather from my Halloween costume.

Loche

After years of living with the consequences of my actions, I’ve finally gotten my life together. Well, aside from the occasional illegal activity that may or may not include a little light stalking. But who’s counting?

When I first saw Ever, I was captivated by her until I learned about her past. Then I became obsessed with her. Obsessed with keeping her safe, obsessed with protecting her when and if the past were to come back to haunt her. Everything was going fine, but then one night at her friend’s Halloween party changed everything.

Ever still doesn’t know who I am, despite having spent the night with me, and I have to keep it that way. Because in reality, she already knows exactly who I am.

And she despises me down to my very core.

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

This is the first book I have read from this author but will not be the last.

I grabbed this ARC when I knew this author was going to be at a book signing I was attending.  I didnt know her writing and wanted to take a chance on a new to me author to read.

This book hits all my favorite dark romance wants…stalker and enemy to lovers.  What I didnt expect was the comedy in the book and I was loving it!!  It was amazing to get a good laugh and then think WHUUUT is wrong with me.  LOL

Everleigh and Locke were all I wanted to a dark romance.  They had me laughing and fanning myself.  The character development was very well done and the backstories were done really well.  I sure did fell for Loche and wanna cuddle him as well.

I am excited for the series and cant wait to read more.
