1. What is the sweetest thing someone has
done for you?
My friend who lives in the next state heard
I was unwell and needed to go to a specialist in the City. I was not well
enough to drive … she ordered and paid for a hire car to pick me up, take me to
the specialist, and bring me back home. Now that was really sweet and special…
2. What kind of music you like?
I like classic country and classic rock as
a general rule. Country seems to sooth me when I write. My very, very favorite
music to listen to is Big Band or Swing but not when I’m writing.
3. Do you like to dance?
I REALLY LOVE to dance. I learned jazz
ballet and then went onto learn ballroom dancing. And having a partner who can
really move too, helps make it a lot of fun.
4. Can you describe your dream home?
My dream home would be built on acres of
land and would overlook a vast swimming pool with a stepped down garden. It
would be a five-bedroom home with a 15-seat movie theater; a wine cellar that
can hold at least 1,000 bottles; an elevator; a state-of-the-art home gym; an
undercover pool at the back of the house, and a library to hold my massive book
collection.
I would love for all the bedrooms to have ensuites and walk
in robes. The ceilings would be higher than the standard measurement.
And I would love a view of the ocean.
5. If you could be any character, from any
literary work, who would you choose to be? Why?
"Are you sure that's a real spell?
Well, it's not very good is it? I've tried a few simple spells myself and
they've all worked for me. Nobody in my family's magic at all, it was ever such
a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, it's the
best school of witchcraft there is I've heard - I've learned all the course
books by heart of course. I just hope it will be enough - I'm Hermione Granger,
by the way, who are you?"
I have a leaning towards being Hermione
Grange from Harry Potter. I loved Hermione’s attitude and all the adventures
she had … and she loved books. Just imagine how much fun one could have being
such a clever witch. I just laugh at all the fun I could have with that wand
THE
EYES OF LOVE
By
Angelina Rose
BLURB:
After
a tragic loss five years ago, Sally Overby becomes an Attorney in Atlanta. She
convinces herself that all she'll ever need again is her young son, David, and
her life as an attorney. Until one day, Colin Dean barges back into her life
and promptly blows her safe world apart, driving her crazy as only a guy she'd
had a "school girl crush" on can.
Sally
is wary to love deeply. Only, with every loving look Colin gives her plus every
sweet kiss, as the attraction between them sparks, she can’t help but wonder if
she’s met the one she should be with. And although Colin didn’t realize his
life was going to change so quickly, amazingly, he isn’t the least bit
interested in fighting that change. Instead, he’s gearing up for a different
fight altogether. The one for Sally’s heart.
Will
Colin be able to convince her that's it safe to love him... and that forever
isn't really out of reach?
The
Eyes of Love is a novella… so you can enjoy it in just one day!
EXCERPT
A
hush fell over the room for a moment as Stephanie appeared with Jazz trailing
behind her. She was wearing a skin tight black dress with stiletto heels which
was typical Stephanie fashion. She wanted nothing more than to be the center of
attention like she always had been.
Without
missing a beat, Stephanie walked straight over to Colin. Sally was shocked.
"Hello,
Colin..." she purred as she ignored Sally completely. "You look sexy
tonight, as always." She smiled seductively as Colin looked away.
"Who's your friend?"
"None
of your business, Steph. Leave me alone."
"Oohhh....
Did I touch a nerve, sweetie?" she asked as she reached out to touch his
chest.
"Don't
touch me, Stephanie. I'm warning you. Why don't you go back to Jazz?"
"Oh.
Jazz. Boring..." she sang. "We're not together anymore, just so you
know..." she whispered in a husky voice. Colin held onto Sally's hand for
dear life. She had to do something.
"Stephanie,
don't you remember me?" she asked grinning from ear to ear as she slid
into Colin's side. He put his arm around her and stared down in shock at what
she was about to say.
"I
don't know you," Stephanie said looking her up and down.
"Wow.
Age is really doing a number on your brain," Sally said.
"Who
are you?" Stephanie snapped. Jazz stood a few feet back obviously trying
to hear the conversation.
"I'm your worst nightmare,"
Sally growled as she came almost nose to nose with Stephanie, her attorney
public speaking skills getting ready to display themselves. She pulled the name
tag from her purse without breaking eye contact and held it up. "You see,
I'm the nerd that you and your cronies bullied through high school."
AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Angelina Rose has wanted
to write ever since she could hold a pencil. The first daughter of immigrant
parents, Angelina had her head buried in books, lost in a world of heroes,
heroines and exotic places.
It was a shocking experience that jump-started Angelina's author career.
"I awoke in the ICU... I had been unconscious for several days," Angelina says.
In 2010, Angelina had a long stint in hospital following her involvement in a motor vehicle accident: the longest time off work (as a Registered Nurse), she'd ever had in her life!
It was then she took up pen and paper and started to write again, just as she had done when she was a child. She wrote four short fiction stories for young adults, entered them in several competitions, and managed to win three first prizes!
After happily dipping her toes into writing those short fiction stories for young adults, Angelina has now authored four books in a new "Mill Creek Crossing Romance" series... contemporary romance intended for adults.
The "Starting Over Series" is another contemporary romance series she wrote about a subject she knows well... nurses and their love life. At a recent reunion of her graduating class, she could not help but notice how the same girls would group together and laugh, chat, and even shed some tears over their lives since graduating. Many of the girls had divorced... so Angelina thought "what if a group of the nurses came up with a plan to meet in two years and have a new love story to share?" Then the first story in the series was born.
There is always a story running around in her head. A man with thick dark hair, gray-blue eyes, with an engaging smile and a quick wit... or a girl crying over a broken relationship. She finds herself talking to these characters during her day: when she's doing dishes, or bathing babies at the hospital. These characters crop up on days at the beach or on walks through the neighborhood. This is how the stories start to grow.
Angelina's mother was an author, so Angelina grew up with a love of words and stories. If she wasn't writing a short story about something that took her fancy, her head was buried in books... reading, reading, reading, as her brother constantly told her...
When she's not spending time with her goodlooking man, or quality time with her laptop, she's working at the hospital, hanging out with her family and friends, or walking her two dogs around the neighborhood. Angelina spends as much time as she can traveling, then coming home and including some of those adventures in her stories.
Angelina really loves to hear from her readers and she invites you to connect with her on Facebook as she interacts daily with her readers there!
