Kathy: What book do you recommend everyone should read? Do you have a comfort read?
I pull out The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss. When I read it for the first time, I was absolutely enchanted. It’s over-long, over-written, many would say passé, but it’s a wonderful fairy tale. Brandon and Heather are captivating characters. I finished it and thought, “I want to do this!” (The Flame and the Flower is one of my all time favorite romances and I still re-read it every once in a while!)
Kathy: What is your guilty pleasure?
Besides books? I’m into so many TV series right now, I can’t keep up! My DVR is about to implode! I love the costume dramas like HELL ON WHEELS and THE VIKINGS. Also love contemporaries like HOMELAND and HOUSE OF CARDS. Just tell me a good story, and I’m hooked! ( I LOVE Hell on Wheels too 🙂 )
I also like Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic.
Kathy: Favorite meal?
TexMex (corn tortillas only).
Kathy: If you weren’t a writer, what would you be?
A floral designer! Next to books and the above mentioned potables and edibles, I love flowers.
Kathy: If you could time travel, what time period would you visit?
Just about any decade in 19th century England.
Kathy: Thank you so much for chatting with us today!

In one reckless night, Camille Jameson’s life was changed forever: a tall, handsome stranger, an evening of romance — and enough regrets to last a lifetime.

She arrives excited and eager to face her greatest professional challenge to date — until Zack Prescott saunters through the mansion’s front door and back into her life.
