Q: Welcome to The Writer's Life, Christine Glover.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?
A: I’m a
Dutch/Canadian transplant currently living in Northern Alabama. My favorite
place in the world to visit is Walt Disney World because I love the magical
experience and I love happily-ever-after stories. I’ve been writing
contemporary romances for nine years, but I’ve always been a writer of some
form of fiction or poetry from the time I could hold a pen in my hand.
Q: Can you please tell us about your book and why
you wrote it?
A: The Maverick’s Red Hot Reunion is about
Kennedy Gibson and Zach Tanner. Their love blazed hot and passionate six years
ago, and they were supposed to get married. But after a devastating loss, Kennedy
ended their engagement. They’re reunited by their best friend Michael—the man
who introduced them—after he is diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis: a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in
the brain and spinal cord). Michael asks billionaire Zach Tanner to return to
Sweetbriar Springs to renovate the resort to force these two back together. A
special person in my life was diagnosed with this disease around the time I
began writing the Maverick. I wanted something good to come out of this disease
and so did she. My research confirmed that most ALS patients feel the same way.
Kennedy and Zach will do anything to make Michael happy, even fake that they’re
engaged again. And that leads to some fun situations and forces them to realize
that they never stopped loving each other.
Q: What were some of the biggest challenges you
faced writing it?
A: I’d say
that balancing the romantic and sensual elements with the seriousness of
Michael’s disease was very difficult because I was also processing my own and very
real grief. But in the end the characters gave me a beautiful, emotionally
driven sexy story that’s got laughter and love driving it. So ripping open my
heart and pouring it onto the page was worth all the hard work.
Q: Do you have a press kit and what do you include
in it? Does this press kit appear online
and, if so, can you provide a link to where we can see it?
A:
Currently, I have a website and am building my press kit. You can find my
information at www.christinegloversite.com
if you want to learn more about me and my books.
Q: Have you either spoken to groups of people about
your book or appeared on radio or TV?
What are your upcoming plans for doing so?
A: I’ve
given an interview to my local newspaper, The Redstone Rocket, which will
appear on July 16, 2014.
Q: Do you have an agent and, if so, would you mind
sharing who he/is is? If not, have you ever had an agent or do you even
feel it’s necessary to have one?
A: I don’t
have an agent. Right now I don’t think I need one. I’m very happy with my
publisher, Entangled Publishing, LLC and how they conduct business. Perhaps one
day in the future I might need an agent, but that depends on a lot of variables.
Q: Did you, your agent or publisher prepare a media
blitz before the book came out and would you like to tell us about it?
A: Yes. My
publisher did prepare a media blitz for me by providing me with an online
virtual book blog tour. I’m giving away a Kindle Paper White E-reader to one
lucky person at the end of the tour. You can find out more about my book blog
tour at this web site: http://www.pumpupyourbook.com/2014/06/15/pump-up-your-book-presents-the-mavericks-red-hot-reunion-virtual-book-publicity-tour/
Q: Do you plan subsequent books?
A: I have a
prequel to The Maverick’s Red Hot Reunion
already undergoing editorial revisions at Entangled Publishing. It’s set six
years before The Maverick. This novel
is about Michael’s younger sister Jessie, a former explosives expert in the
Marines, and the only man who is strong enough to be her perfect match: Hollywood
action hero Blake Johnston AKA Quinn Sawyer. I’m currently working on the
sequel to The Maverick that gives the
readers a peek at how Zach and Kennedy are doing while Kennedy’s best friend
Hannah is forced to work up close and personal with her former crush. Caleb
Gibson is a reformed bad boy who has traded his Marine combat boots for a
corporate suit and black tie. The last thing he wants to do is stay in
Sweetbriar Springs, but when he caves to his craving for Hannah he’ll discover
he’s found a home for his heart.
Q: Thank you for your interview, Christine Glover. Would
you like to tell my readers where they can find you on the web and how everyone
can buy your book?
A: You’re welcome. Thank you for hosting me today. You can find me on my
website at www.christinegloversite.com.
