Where the idea for Coming Up For Air come from?

Maggie Dawson came to me one night talking about how Kevin Walker did her wrong.

Did you take any aspects from your life and write them into this story?

I’ve been in love and broken hearted so knew what it felt like to feel alone.

Legacy of Eden by Nelle Davy: Guest Post & Giveaway {Book Trib}

The Legacy of Eden
Paperback: 384 Pages
On Sale: January 31, 2012 (Buy Links)
An epic, sweeping tale of a dynasty rotten to the core, driven by ambition, lust – and hatred.

For generations, Aurelia was the crowning glory of more than three thousand acres of Iowa farmland and golden cornfields. The estate was a monument to matriarch Lavinia Hathaway’s dream to elevate the family name—no matter what relative or stranger she had to destroy in the process. It was a desperation that wrought the downfall of the Hathaways—and the once-prosperous farm.

Now the last inhabitant of the decaying old home has died—alone. None of the surviving members of the Hathaway family want anything to do with the farm, the land or the memories.

Especially Meredith Pincetti. Now living in New York City, for seventeen years Lavinia’s youngest grandchild has tried to forget everything about her family and her past. But with the receipt of a pleading letter, Meredith is again thrust into conflict with the legacy that destroyed her family’s -great name.

Back at Aurelia, Meredith must confront the rise and fall of the Hathaway family…and her own part in their mottled history.

Aladdin's Samovar by Lauren Sweet: Interview

Today I have Lauren Sweet, author of Aladdin's Samovar, on the blog for an interview. Enjoy!!

Describe your book in 140 characters. {Twitter Style}

Amber Polaski finds a sexy genie in a brass samovar and wishes to find her long-lost father, only to learn he’s on the run from the Mafia.

Which came first: The plot or the characters?

That’s a tough question! I guess the characters came first, because the novel is based on an unfinished short story I wrote in grad school, where Jasper came out of the samovar and offered Amber one wish—except I couldn’t figure out what she would wish for. Finally, one of my classmates listened to Amber’s backstory and told me that, if she’d never met her father, that would be her wish. I immediately realized he was right (d’oh!) but then it seemed like too big a thing to fit in a short story, so I never finished it.

It wasn’t until a few years later that I started to wonder what would happen if Amber found her father, but he wasn’t what she expected—if he was, say, on the run from the Mob. I realized that could be the jumping-off point for a novel, and that was when Aladdin’s Samovar was born. So in a way, the plot also came first, because the whole novel grew from that one plot idea.
