Her heart
never forgot him…
Genny Ridgeway left Laurel Cove
with a broken heart. Returning awakens old feelings, old longings, and the
desire for long kisses beneath the mistletoe with the man who broke her heart.
The only
thing missing is her…
Connor O’Rourke and his son finally
have the home they’ve always wanted. Now, he’ll do anything for a second chance
at love with the woman he let get away.
It’s
Christmas time in Laurel Cove…
Surrounded by the spirit of the
season and with a little posthumous help from her gypsy grandmother, can Connor
prove he is the man Genny has always wanted to grant her wish before Christmas?
Whether
she’s writing contemporary or paranormal romance, Kimberly Quinton is a
romantic at heart who strives to tell stories about the power of true love.
Since a
teen, she’s loved romances and believes we can all live our happily-ever-after.
Always a people watcher, it wasn’t until Kimberly shucked her Accounting major
for Anthropology that her interest in people and cultures was
nurtured. Kimberly has combined her natural curiosity (nosiness) with her love
of romance for the sake of bringing the movies in her head to life on the page.
A wife
and mother of two, Kimberly spends her days chasing chores, wrangling
active kids, and writing. She also enjoys traveling, cooking, great wine and
sharing a laugh with friends and family.
CLOVER: How often do you get lost in a
story?
KIM: Well.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to get lost in a story as often as I used to—I
think I spent most of my teens lost in books. I did just spend two days buried
in Stephen King's Doctor Sleep and
I've filled my Kindle with holiday romances that have been stealing snippets of
my day here and there.
CLOVER: What is one of your favorite
Christmas traditions?
KIM: I love
putting up the Christmas tree. Once it's up and decorated, I feel like the
holiday has finally started.
CLOVER: What’s your favorite movie of all
time?
KIM: Oh man,
that's a hard one. I don't have just one. For Christmas movies, my top three
are Love Actually, It's a Wonderful Life and The Sound Of Music. I have to watch
these every year. My family also has several we watch as tradition—Christmas Vacation, Tremors and Die Hard.
Have to watch those during the holidays too!
CLOVER: What do you like best about the
winter?
KIM: Snuggly,
layered clothes and the desire to cook. I love cooking in general (almost tried
to make a career of it) but there's something about cooking when it's cold
outside that makes me want to pull out my more complicated recipes and go
crazy.
CLOVER: What was the first thing you did
when you finished this book?
KIM: Have a
glass or two of wine and stare at the walls in a daze. It's still not quite
real to me even though I've written the second one in the series, Cupid's
Promise, and it will be out early 2014!
CLOVER’S GOTTA ASK: What dreams have been realized as a result of
your writing?
KIM’S GOTTA
ANSWER: My deepest, most closely held dream was to be
a writer and it's one I didn't really think was possible for a long time. I'm
proud that I can show my kids that if you work long enough at a dream, it can
happen. It's not easy, or always exciting or the stuff of fantasy—but it is
worth it.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING TODAY. WE WANNA KNOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE COMING OUT NEXT?
Coming soon is Cupid's Promise,
the second in my Holiday Hearts
series from Decadent Publishing.
KIM WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:
I would love to hear about your
favorite Christmas tradition. I'm always looking for ideas to start with my
boys while they're young. Thanks for hosting me today! Happy Holidays everyone!
