THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
TRACEY: Every time I write an intensely emotional scene, I find myself getting lost in the plot. Sometimes when I take a break from writing, I look up from my computer screen and realize I’m in my house! LOL! That’s a good day!

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
TRACEY: I love that Paul never once gives up on Lizzie. He loves her no matter what and stands by her even when she doubts her own ability to fall in love.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
TRACEY: Ohhhh I so love the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I know it’s non-fiction but it totally plays like a fictional event.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
TRACEY: Right now, my perfect day would be one with sunshine in it!

ANGI: Salad or soup?
TRACEY: Soup.

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 
TRACEY: Big Bang Theory

ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home? 
TRACEY: fancy

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
TRACEY: Champagne

ANGI: The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?
TRACEY: Okay here goes; As a dare made by my then boyfriend and now husband, I once sat on the edge of a bridge on a train trestle while the train whizzed by me inches away. Not my brightest move by the way, but I guess we’d do anything for love! And children don’t try this at home!

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  SHOW ME YOUR SHOES…


TRACEY’S GOTTA ANSWER:  Flip Flops

A SURPRISE FOR ABIGAIL
Women of Surprise, #1

Cole Stanton was a man on the move. On his own since the death of his family, he drifted from place to place, guarding his heart from attachment to anything or anyone.

Meanwhile, Abigail Monroe was busy planning her wedding until she was jilted by her intended, Edward Quinn. Her heart broken and her hopes dashed, Abigail vowed to never fall in love again, fleeing to the town of Surprise to visit her sick Aunt Margaret.
However, when Abigail arrived, she found that her Aunt Margaret had an unorthodox request of her: become the town's first woman sheriff!

When Abigail agrees, her life quickly turns upside down. Her first arrest is none other than Cole Stanton, for drunken and disorderly conduct. After his arrest, it becomes clear to Abigail that Mr. Stanton could be much more than he seems. He may very well be a wanted man: wanted both by the law and by Abigail.

A CHANGED AGENT
The Andirondack Pinkertons #1

When schoolteacher Elsie Mitchell meets rugged William Benton on a train platform in Albany, it appears they have nothing in common. He isn’t the sort of fellow a proper young woman of the 1890s would ever speak to, much less become involved with. But when she arrives at her small town in the Adirondack Mountains, Elsie is offered a job as caregiver for this mysterious out-of-towner’s niece and nephew, who’ve been tragically orphaned. Heartbroken for them, she accepts.
Unknown to her, William is an undercover Pinkerton agent posing as a lumber-company foreman. He’s never wanted family—his work is too dangerous. Yet as Elsie transforms his house into a home and he spends time with the children, he feels drawn to family life—and to Elsie.
As a good Christian, Elsie is troubled by William’s secrets…though she does find him intriguing. And when a sinister figure from her past arrives, Elsie and William will have to trust in faith and newfound love to protect their unlikely family from danger.

Donna Gartshore loves reading and writing. She also writes short stories, poetry and devotions. She often veers off to the book section in the grocery store when she should be buying food. Besides talking about books and writing, Donna loves spending time with her daughter, Sunday family suppers , and engaging online with the writing community.

THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
DONNA:  A bit ironically, now that I’m writing more, I have less time to read. But I have a constant TBR pile on the go and often will be reading at least two books at the same time. It just takes me longer to finish a book than it used to.

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
DONNA:  I love Paul’s vulnerability and the fact that he is so protective of Tyson and  ultimately willing to put his pride on the line so that he can be a better guardian.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
DONNA:  Ooh, that’s a tough one – movie I don’t know, but I will say that my all-time favorite TV series is Gilmore Girls.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
DONNA:  A perfect day to me is one that’s unstructured, unscheduled. I’m such a homebody at heart and I love having time to read, write, spend time with family, do Bible study, watch a good cozy mystery etc.

ANGI: Salad or soup?
DONNA:  Soup!

ANGI: Would you put yourself in a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
DONNA:  Probably a fairy tale

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 
DONNA:  Gilmore Girls, as mentioned above. I also tend to re-watch many of the Hallmark mysteries.

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
DONNA: Both are great depending on the occasion.

ANGI: Geek or Jock?
DONNA:  Oh I love a cute geek – even though I guess my hero would fit more into the jock category. But I considered him a geek – in the best way – at heart.

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  SHOW ME YOUR FAVORITE SHOES… and tell us why they’re important.
DONNA’S GOTTA ANSWER:   I love my Sketchers because they are comfy and I do a lot of walking

THE Q&A
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
VIRGINIA: As often as I can! I’ve always been that girl with her nose stuck in a book.

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
VIRGINIA: I love my hero, Noah. He’s fighting for justice for his missing and presumed dead sister.

VIRGINIA: Nothing beats the original Star Wars movie.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
VIRGINIA: Curled up on the couch with a book and blanket. Ah, Heaven.

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
VIRGINIA:  All. The. Time. I am a self-professed bookaholic and I’m not even sorry. I was always that kid with her nose stuck in a book and adulthood hasn’t changed that. Reading has always been my favorite pastime.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
VIRGINIA:  A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….Star Wars was the first movie that ever really transported me to a different time and place and because of that it will always be my favorite, but Terminator really sparked my love for time travel stories so it is definitely a close second.
ANGI: YES !! Two of my favorites. Terminator is such a great love story. "I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have."

ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
VIRGINIA:  My hero, Quinn, has really bucked his family’s tradition of law enforcement and taken his own path to become a covert operative. He feels like no one in his family really understands him. I can relate to those feelings as sometimes, being a writer, I feel like my family looks at me as if I have a third eye, lol.

ANGI: What’s your perfect day?
VIRGINIA:  Curled up in a chair reading and getting so lost in a story that the real world—even the fun stuff—seems like an imposition. I once got so pulled into a story world that I nearly cancelled a trip to the beach with my friends because I didn’t think I was going to finish the book in time. If that doesn’t make me a book lover, I don’t know what was does, lol.

ANGI: Salad or soup?
VIRGINIA: Let’s skip them both and go straight to the pasta, hehe.

ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf? 
VIRGINIA: I’m an HGTV junkie and I’ll watch Flea Market Flip every time its on.

ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home? 
VIRGINIA:  I’m a homebody. My favorite date night would be ordering in and staying home to watch a movie.

ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
VIRGINIA:  Diet Coke is my drink of choice all day long.

ANGI: Geek or Jock?
VIRGINIA:  I always loved playing softball, but I have to confess I was never the best player. Maybe if I’d put down the books and practiced more that would have changed, but I regret nothing. Definitely a geek girl. 😊
ANGI: I was a catcher. My knees prove it. I coached for 20 years and umpired Girls Fast-Pitch for 15. But...hahaha...I do NOT consider myself a Jock. LO

ANGI’s GOTTA ASK:  Where is your favorite writing place & why?
VIRGINIA’S GOTTA ANSWER:  My favorite place to write is on the balcony of my apartment overlooking the lake. I love the water and the balcony gives me the illusion of being outside without actually having to go. 😊
  
UP NEXT for VIRGINIA:
I’m currently working on book #3 of my Covert Operatives series. I’m still in the writing phase so no cover or release date yet, but here’s a juicy tidbit—it involves a baby selling ring and a secret husband!

VIRGINIA WANTS TO KNOW: A few years ago, I bought a great overstuffed chair at a yard sale. It was the perfect place to curl up to read which I did often. Unfortunately, when we moved, I had to downsize and give it away. I still miss that chair, especially because I haven’t yet found another as good comfy spot for reading. So my question today is what’s your favorite place to read?
