The
real thing, or just rented for the summer?
Cressida Avery wants to spend the months before her junior year in college healing the wounds from her last disastrous relationship.
Everything changes when Garrison Light comes to town and buys a house. He’s handsome, wealthy and a “weekender” from the city. Weekenders look down on the locals and the resentment is mutual.
Something in him calls out to her. Garrison is not like the others, not by a long shot and, even knowing he’ll be gone by Labor Day, Cress still can’t fight her desire to be with him. But nothing about Garrison is what it appears to be on the surface.
Can Garrison help Cress get over Aaron? And will Cress need to get over Garrison?

I was teaching horseback riding and the
owner of the farm wanted to return to dairy farming. I had always planned on being a writer at
some point in the future but that was the push that made me start years
earlier. It was a blessing in disguise.
What is your preferred genre?
I like to write whatever interests
me. Fiction, nonfiction, humor. It’s just something I need to say.
How many books have you written? I’ve had a long career. 30?
If more than one,
are any a series…or trilogy?
The series I’m working on now is
Bittersweet Farms. It’s YA/NA/Crossover
about two sisters, their horses and their romances.
My series Bad Apple is about a young
man and a young woman who embark on a career in music.
My two-book series, Flash, is about a
teenage girl who becomes a celebrity photographer.
Tell us a little about your book.
RENTED is a New Adult book. Definitely for 18+ due to content.
Cressida is a
young woman who grew up in the country, Garrison Light’s lived a privileged
life in the city. They’ve been hurt in
different ways, experienced difficult losses and are able to heal each other
during the summer. Sometimes the past
just won’t stay in the past and that’s an unfortunate truth they come to learn.
Do you have plans for a new book?
I’m working on a Bittersweet Farm book
right now. What happens after that, I’m
not sure. Maybe a novella.
Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or hardcover?
I love ebooks. I didn’t think I would but it’s fantastic for
me. So convenient, so portable.
Are you a self- published (Indie) Author?
I started my career being traditionally
published. Now I’m an Indie and I love
it.
Who designed the cover of your book?
I design my covers. This is a DIY operation.
Do you have any advice for other writers starting out?
Read the classics. Read books that have stood the test of time,
not just what’s popular now.
Anything nonfiction by John Gardner on
the craft of writing would help.
Just writing isn’t enough if you’re not
learning and growing, too.
Pick one - Wine, Chocolate or shoes?
Chocolate!
Cats or dogs?
Cats or dogs?
Horses.
What is your favorite food and beverage?
Pasta, hands down. I enjoy peach-mango coconut water.
How many hours per day do you try to devote to research
and writing?
At least 6. Writing isn’t for wimps!
Laptop or desktop for writing?
Desktop. I like that and a large monitor for creating
cover art.
Your thoughts on receiving book reviews - the good and
the bad -
The good reviews are pleasant, the
others are sometimes incomprehensible. You wonder “Did this person read MY
book?”
Do you have a bucket list?
Yes and getting a horse is on it and
she’s arriving next weekend.
I hope that doesn’t predict my
longevity!
One of your favorite quotes –
To escape criticism - say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Elbert Hubbard
List 3 of your favorite movies?
Singin’ In the Rain

Where can your readers stalk you?
Is your book in Print, ebook or both?

Do you give free ebooks away in exchange for honest
reviews?
I love to!
