You’ll want to devour each one!
MOONLIGHT MATCH
Aster Harrington believes in love but love doesn’t seem to believe in her. She’s hoping Goldie and Ginny, the matchmakers who’ve matched on two generations of Harringtons, can work a little love magic for her…
Some call Ethan Talbot rigid, but he prefers to think of himself as prepared.
Unfortunately, when he’s matched with Aster Harrington at Joy Island’s Matchmaking Week, all those carefully prepared plans go out the window. He can get back to finding a suitable wife once he’s home in New York. After all, how much damage can one week in the Bahamas do to his plans?

THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
KRISTINA: Once a day? Ha! Whether I’m reading for fun or writing my next book, I’m forever losing track of time. I sit down and it’s mid-morning and look up and my daughter is coming in the door from school. It’s crazy!
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
KRISTINA: The Princess Bride, definitely. My siblings and I have watched it eleventy-seven times. We quote it to each other constantly. There are few situations in which a clever Inigo or Man in Black or Vizzini quote doesn’t fit. This past Thanksgiving we all sat down with our kiddos and watched, quoting and laughing…they enjoyed it, too. So I think it’ll be our family movie mascot for another generation!
ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
KRISTINA: It depends: am I on vacation or a perfect working day? For vacation, I’m somewhere warm with a beach. RadioMan and bebe are nearby and maybe we’re snorkeling or just playing around in the water. We’ll eat barbecued chicken and drink lemonade (or maybe Margarita’s if it’s just RadioMan and me) and spend the day in the sun. A perfect writing day starts with a leisurely breakfast/getting the kiddo off to school. I’m writing by 9:30. Break for lunch and an email/social media check around 11. Start writing again by 12:30 and go until 2:30 or so. Take another break, and maybe do some business stuff. Once bebe is home, we’ll play or read together and then it’s homework time with both of us at the table. I’ll read through what I’ve written while she knocks out some math. Then it’s dinner around 5:30 and maybe one more little stretch of writing between 6:30 and 8. Then a little TV time to decompress and in bed by 10.
ANGI: Salad or soup?
KRISTINA: Soup – it’s a mainstay for me, especially during the winter. Although I do make a couple of soups year-round. Our favorites are Chicken Tortilla, Loaded Baked Potato, and Broccoli Cheese.
ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf?
KRISTINA: Anything from The Big Bang Theory – I know most of the episodes and I just love them!
ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home?
KRISTINA: At home. RadioMan will grill. We’ll have some soft music playing and maybe watch a movie after we eat.
ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
KRISTINA: Soda!
ANGI: The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?
KRISTINA: Moved to Nebraska! My boyfriend had been offered a job as a sports director in a small town and I had a decision to make: stay in Kansas City, in a job I didn’t especially like, or take a chance on a different state and a job I’d always wanted (TV reporting). I decided to follow him, despite the fact that we weren’t engaged or married. I got the job, we got married a year later, and 20 years later we’re still together! He’s still working in radio (though now we live in Ohio), but I did leave TV news a few years back in favor of writing books.
ANGI’s GOTTA ASK: SHOW ME YOUR SHOES…
KRISTINA’S GOTTA ANSWER: I adore shoes! Tennies, heels, flippers, ballet flats, boots. RadioMan will tell you I have too many shoes, but since he has (no joke!) 10 pairs of Skechers, he doesn’t give me too hard of a time when I find yet another pair that I just have to have. These are three of my favorites – my new Asics (for running), a pair of flippers (because I’m dreaming of spring), and these heels because POLKADOTS!!

WHAT A TEXAS GIRL WANTS
Texas Girls, book 1
Kathleen Witte is a down-to-earth girl. She has to be, with the family ranch on the verge of success. After seven months of keeping it all together by swearing off men, however, Kathleen needs a bit of fun in the sun. Waking up with a husband she can’t remember isn’t how she planned to blow off steam.
The last thing Jackson Taylor wants in his life is a down-to-earth girl. He has four weeks of freedom in which to find his birth mother. He’s done well avoiding commitment until now, so when he wakes up on a Mexican beach with Kathleen his first reaction is curiosity. When he spies the matching wedding rings on their left hands curiosity turns to concern.
Neither Jackson nor Kathleen want to stay married, but when her family shows up, they have no choice. Once back in Texas, however, can they keep this all-business marriage from turning into an all-consuming love?
