1)
Did you
set any goals for 2013?
First
off, thanks so much for having me!
2012 for me was really tough, with a tight publishing schedule. For 2013, I realized I couldn’t hold up
the same schedule. So I decided to
scale back a little on my publishing schedule and breathe a little more. J My main goal
for the year is to make extra time to step back and enjoy things a little more.
2)
What is
the best part of the writing process for you?
Reaching
The End on a new story. Even if it's
a story that no one else will ever read, it's a truly amazing thing to have
taken an idea and write it out on paper.
3)
The worst
part?
It
seems to be different for every book almost. With the one I’m working on now, it’s the editing. It’s kicking my but right now. LOL!
4)
Tell me
where you write?
I
have a little built in desk in my closet that was originally meant to be a
vanity, but I use it as an office instead.
5)
Tell us
about your latest release?
Going
After the Heart is the story of Lizzy and Gavin trying to save their
marriage. After a long time of
feeling his marriage is falling apart, Gavin goes back to hometown to visit his
family to try and wrap his head around what he wants to do. It serves as a wakeup call to Lizzy who
follows him to try and make things right.
6)
Tell us
about a new author you’ve recently discovered
Jennifer
Cruise. I might have read a book
of hers years ago, but I recently read Bet Me after seeing it a few different
places and finished it in a day.
Now I have a few other books of hers that I want to read.
7)
Name two
romances you’ve read more than once
The
Rake by Mary Jo Putney and anything by Christina Dodd.
8)
Tell us
about your first car
It
was a 1987 Chevy Sprint that I affectionately called The Skittle after my
friends started calling it that and Boston Baked Bean. It was red. I didn’t care for the BBB name so I went with Skittle and it
stuck. It was a tiny car and I
have fond memories of me and my friends piling into it and having fun on Friday
and Saturday nights our junior and senior years of high school.

Description
Lizzy Bergstrum
thought she finally reached a point in her life when she could honestly say she
had it all. A thriving writing
career. A wonderful daughter. And a marriage to the love of her life. But looks can apparently be deceiving
because her husband just walked out on her and their eight year old daughter
hates her.
Gavin Bergstrum can’t
handle the direction his life has taken. Not only did he get laid off from his job, but his wife seems
to barely remember he exists.
Convinced he’s tried his best to change things, he begins to wrestle with
the possibility of divorce. But he
can’t think straight in the same house as Lizzy. Hating to leave his daughter, but needing time to think and
come to terms with what he feels he needs to do, Gavin decides to return to his
small home town in Oregon and stay at his family ranch with his father and
brothers.
In shock, Lizzy
gives Gavin his space. But as time
passes and he doesn’t say a word about their marriage, Lizzy decides it’s past
time she takes matters into her own hands. Without a word, she follows Gavin to Oregon.
Now facing a
daughter who blames her for everything, an irritated husband, and a small town
that feeds on the drama, Lizzy finds herself trying to figure out how to
convince Gavin to give her another chance, teach her daughter it takes two to
make a successful marriage, and overcome her own insecurities – all without
compromising who she is.
Warning: This title is intended for readers over the
age of 18 as it contains adult sexual situations and/or adult language, and may
be considered offensive to some readers.
About the Author
In between her
to-be-read pile and trying to bring the characters in her head alive, Kristen
spends as much time as she can with family and friends. Much to her husband’s dismay, she
enjoys collecting purses, shoes, and jewelry. During those rare times she’s not working at her day job,
rushing her daughters somewhere, watching movies with her husband, and trying
to meet a deadline, she can usually be found energetically cheering for one of
her favorite New York sports teams.
As
with just about every other writer on the planet, Kristen grew up an avid
reader. She started with young
adult before she technically hit the age range and moved on to sci-fi classics
by Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury.
At fifteen, her best friend gave her a book she just had to read! The
book was Honest Illusions by Nora
Roberts. Always a sucker for a
happy ending, she was a goner and fell in love with the romance genre. Having started writing novel length
stories at the age of eleven, Kristen’s stories all took a romantic turn from
that point on.
He could kill her.
At this exact moment, Gavin Bergstrum could easily
reach out and gladly kill his wife of ten years. Well, almost ten years, in another two months anyway.
If she lived that long.
Gavin watched as the woman—who may or may not survive
the next two months to be his spouse of ten years—pulled her Cadillac Escalade
to a stop a few yards in front of him in the wide open dirt area serving as the
driveway of his father’s ranch.
She climbed out of the driver’s side door of the big vehicle as though
she belonged there, as though there weren’t a wall of issues between them.
Despite the dark trendy shades covering what he knew
were deep violet almond shaped eyes, Gavin felt the heat being aimed his way
and felt a morbid satisfaction in the fact she clearly wished violence on him
at the moment too.
Well, at least they still had something in common.
