Hi Tracy! Great to have you here today and to be a part of your ongoing tour with Goddess Fish Promotions. Wishing you lots of sales of sales with your latest instalment of The Alex Chronicles: What My Friends Don't Know...
1)
What
is the strangest talent you have? Okay, let me just
say, that is a great interview ice breaker. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer.
2)
What
is the best Halloween costume you’ve ever worn? I can’t remember the last time I wore a
Halloween costume. So far, I sound
boring.
3)
Are
the titles of your books important? Okay, a
question I have answer for.
Smile. The titles of my
books are very important to me. I
know if the title and cover don’t grab the reader, it’s going to be difficult
to get the reader to even consider reading the book sample.
4)
If
you’re struggling with a scene or difficult character, what methods help you
through it? If I
hit a road block, I either get up and walk away from the the computer, or turn
on the playlist. Sometimes, it’s
just a matter of clearing my thoughts.
Once I do that, I get back to work and the words flow.

5)
Do you
prefer dog, cats or none of the above? Anyone that knows me, knows I want a little dog. I have been experiencing puppy
withdrawal. I’ve narrowed my
choices down to a Yorkie, Chinese Crested, Shih Tzu or Poodle. I have a slight allergy to dogs and
cats are definitely not an option…I can’t breath when I’m around cats. I’ve been researching hypo-allergenic
dogs and the ones I mentioned are options. Maybe this is the year I’ll get one.
6)
Who’s
your favourite author? Why? Oh man, that’s a tough question. There are so many that I admire, that it would be unfair to
single one out.
7)
Do you
have a pet peeve? Do
I have a pet peeve? I’m sure I do,
but I can’t think of it right now.
8)
Do you
remember your dreams when you wake up in the morning? Not all the time, but yes, I remember my
dreams. Trust, me, I’ve had some
really good ones. In fact, the
dreams Kendell has in What My Friends Don't Know, are mine. That's a little tid bit for your
readers. Thanks for hosting me
today.
The Alex Chronicles: What My
Friends Don't Know
by Tracy Reed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Alexandra “Alex” Miller and her best friends are
more like sisters. They live by
the code that a good girlfriend will stick by you and be honest with you not
matter what.
They’ve
been friends over twenty years and have seen each other through marriage,
divorce, broken engagement, death and other minor crisis. But it’s the secrets they’ve failed to
trust each other with. Each of them is holding on to a secret
they believe could destroy not only their reputation, but their friendship as
well.
Alex
and her best friends, Chloe, Taylor, Kendell and Dionne all long for one thing,
a happy ending. As they’ve gotten
older, they’ve discovered, not everyone gets the fairytale happy ending they
want, but the reality life has orchestrated for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
I couldn’t move. That was the
most uncomfortable experience I’ve ever had, much worse than my first pelvic
exam. In fact, right about now,
those stirrups are looking pretty good, because that would distract me from all
the memories that brief encounter resurrected. It’s been over twenty years and he still makes my stomach
jump.
“Who was that man?” Bas asked.
I couldn’t dance around his
question like I did last night. “Uhm...did I ever tell you how I got the money
to start my business?”
“Does it have anything to do with
the couple we just met?”
“It has everything to do with
them.” I took a deep breath and
continued. “My girlfriends know
about Jonathan, but only a handful of people know about Terrence.”
“Come on, let’s sit down.” He guided me back to the club chairs,
we sat down and I stared out the window.
“I spent the summer before my
junior year and my junior year of college working at Motif Magazine in
Paris. The short version, Terrence
and I met at the Louvre. We were
both trying to see the Mona Lisa.
Unfortunately, so was everyone else. Instead, we spent the afternoon exploring the museum and by
closing time, we were in love. He
was in Paris working for his father’s company.”
“That’s your ex?”
“Have you ever wondered if it’s
possible to be married and no one know?”
He looked perplexed. “Let
me answer it for you. Yes.”
“Excuse me?”
“Towards the end of summer we
were hooked at the hip. We spent
all of our free time together.
Instead of going home for the holidays, I stayed in Paris and spent them
with Terrence. Spring came and the
air was filled with love. He
proposed and two weeks after Valentine’s Day we got married. When his parents found out, they came
over and yanked him out of our apartment.
The last time I saw him was that morning.”

AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
I am a single Christian woman who loves God, Fashion and Cute Guys. Not
all women who write Christian fiction will admit to that.
The subjects I write about are considered taboo in Christian fiction. If
you want to read about Christians dealing with unrequited love, apprehension to
give love another chance, arranged marriages, physical attraction, divorce,
annulment, controlling their urges, infidelity, abortion, dating younger men,
being a single mother, slipping up and sleeping with your estranged ex,
standing up for yourself, being honest about not liking your in-laws, still
being attracted to your ex, battling postpartum depression, having challenges
in your walk with Christ or if you aren't too proud to admit you sometimes get
angry and yell at God, then you're in the right place.
The people that read my books have a thing for designer clothes and
accessories and aren't ashamed to admit it. To them a cute Christian guy on
their arm is the finish to the perfect outfit. Sort of like lipstick, you don't
have to have it, but it sure makes you feel prettier when you do.

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting me today.

Go for a Yorkie. They are sweet, smart and non-allergenic. They do not shed. I loved mine. She passed away at 14.
ReplyDeleteHi MomJane,
ReplyDeleteI'm really leaning towards the Yorkie. I like their personality. Thanks for the info. Both of my Cockapoos lived about 14 years as well. Unfortunately, my Samoyed only lived a couple of years. He had parvo. At the time I didn't realize I was allergic to them. I wondered why I kept sneezing. Silly me. Now I know and I think I'm ready to be a pet mom again.
Thanks for following the tour and posting.
Tracy
