Blurb:
Instead of feeding her
late-night appetite, a midnight food run nearly gets 28-year-old Katherine
O’Brian
Scott Mitchell left a broken
engagement behind when he moved to Reno, and the
last thing he needs is more
melodrama. But when he and Katherine are paired for a college project, that’s
what he gets. It can be very distracting when someone is out to kill your lab
partner. Together, they try to figure out what the police haven’t been able
to—the identity of the murderer. Passion flares, but with Katherine’s life in
danger, romance seems like more than a bad idea.
Scott and Katherine will face
jealousy, misunderstandings, lust, and rivals, not to
mention attempted murder—and all
before their first real date.

Interview with MaryAnn:
Meagan - Do you ever ask your husband for advice and/or input for a particular
scene?
MaryAnn - Sometimes
I ask my husband if he thinks a guy would say what I want the male characters
in my book to say. I want the dialogue to ring true.
Meagan - Do you have a particular writing
routine once you start a book?
MaryAnn - I usually write in the morning, after the kids have left for
school, five days a week.
Meagan - What comes first for you? The story?
Characters? Or setting?
MaryAnn - The
characters, then the setting, and story.
Meagan - What would you say are your biggest
influences and/or inspirations in your writing?
MaryAnn - Jane Austen, for her witty dialogue
and Agatha Christie for her fantastic ability to write a good mystery.
Meagan - What do you find is the easiest part
of writing? The hardest?
MaryAnn - I
like writing dialogue. I just have to remember to write, what “they” call
“beats” so that the reader remembers where the characters are when they started
talking.
Meagan - If you weren’t a writer, what other
path might you have followed?
MaryAnn - If I had to choose something that had nothing to do with
writing, I’d choose something that involved a lot of
travel. I love sightseeing.
Meagan - That sounds fun so if you could travel anywhere in the
world, where would it be?
MaryAnn - I’d
visit London. I’ve always wanted to. It’s on my “bucket” list.
Meagan - Eppp....def mine too!!! Okay so if you were stuck on an island and
could only have one type of food and one other “object” what would they be?
MaryAnn - A solar-powered coffee pot and plenty of coffee.
Meagan - Do you have any encouraging words
for aspiring writers?
MaryAnn - Sure,
don’t give up. It took me a long time to finish my first book, but writing gets
easier the more you do it. My second book only took 7 months.
Such awesome answers!!! A huge thank you to MaryAnn for stopping by today and letting us get a little insight into the way she works!!!
