Summer Bride

I've known Stacey Joy Netzel for a few years and we've become quite close over the past couple of years.  We have a lot in common, the joy of writing just one.  Our love of our military is another and since we both have children who have served or are serving now, we started Authors4Veterans last year where we gather 30 authors together, who all donate books, swag and comfort items and we bag them up and take them to Fisher House Milwaukee for the families of Veterans who are treating at the VA Hospital.

So, let's get started, shall we? Have you been on Get Lost in a Story before?

Nope, my first time.

How often do you get lost in a story?

Pretty often, but most times it's my own story that I'm currently writing. I don't get time to read as much as I'd like, but I absolutely love it when I do find a book I can read as a reader and not a writer. I stay up to the wee hours of the morning when I find one of those.

What's your favorite thing about your current book hero?

I'm writing Summer Wager right now, the final bonus story to my Romancing Wisconsin series. (TIP: if you want a FREE copy when I'm done, join my newsletter and you'll get a link to download it when it releases) Kevin Cain is cocky and a bit arrogant with the heroine because her confidence and smarts intimidates the hell out of him. But I like that he has a really good heart, he can laugh at himself when dripping wet after falling in a lake, and admit (grudgingly) when he's done something stupid because he's a dumbass. Plus, once he gives himself over to his feelings for Shanna, he's all in. And, of course, he's sexy as all get out, too.

 Do you have a favorite movie of all time? Tell me about it.

The Cutting Edge is my favorite movie. There are a number of others I watch over and over, but that one is at the top for the conflict between the two, and the romance of the whole story as well. Plus, I love ice skating. Close seconds are: One Fine Day, Every After, Music & Lyrics. (couldn't help naming some of my other favorites *grin*)

 The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?

You'd think it would be 2 years ago when I jumped out of a plane with my son who is an Army Airborne soldier, but I'd have to say it was when I got on a train at age 17 to go work in Colorado for a summer. I was shy, had never been out of WI, and didn't know a single person out there. Best thing I ever did. I believe it shaped me for the rest of my life.

Anything you want to share about your favorite shoes?

I love that they're easy to slip on and I like the pretty lace-like straps. I got them in FL when my one pair of flip flops broke in the sand two days into our trip. 

 Do you have a giveaway? If so, tell me about it.

 Let's look at the blurb for Summer Bride.

"He has one month to make his bride fall in love with him before he deploys.

Kyra Sullivan has been left one too many times. If her father can walk out on his wife and children—twice—what’s to keep a man by her side? She doesn’t believe anyone will stay long enough to give her a happily ever after, until one night with Staff Sergeant Dane Owens opens her heart to dream.

But Dane has secrets. Obligations. Orders. Staying isn’t an option, and even worse, he has a feeling he’s not coming back alive this time. An honorable man would leave Kyra alone, but the moment he sees her again, walking away proves impossible. Can he convince her not being able to stay is different than leaving, or is he damned to repeat the past by once again ruining the life of someone he loves?"
