SPOTLIGHT Questions and Answers with the Author

Congratulations on your book: Cruising into Christmas. What do you have on the drawing board next? Can you tell us the timeline for its release and give us a little tease?

I have several recent releases, all Christmas themed, two of which are set in my Small-Town Sweethearts series, and one is a Regency romance. All are available now. Almost Christmas in Connecticut features Tanner Frost and. Lauren wins a chance to watch the filming of Tanner’s cooking vlog, and things don’t quite go as planned. This novella is based on the movie Christmas in Connecticut, included in the boxed set, Love, Christmas 2: Movies You Love.

Cruising into Christmas features Tanner’s brother Nick Frost, and Lauren DiBennadetto. They’re cruising to Hawaii for the wedding of Trevor Frost and Lauren’s best friend, Nicole. An embarrassing video of Lauren is sweeping the Internet with the hashtag #kisscamgirl, and Nick helps Lauren hide from the unwanted attention—while falling in love.

The Regency novella is No Mistletoe Required, featured in The Duke of Danby’s Mistletoe Madness, a multi-author anthology. The Duke of Danby had been matchmaking for three generations, now, with new stories added every year. No Mistletoe Required puts Mr. Theo Jardine and Lady Barbara Graves in the path of the duke and his stack of marriage licenses.

You have a good following on twitter. Since you started before the social media buzz, what impact has social media relationships had on your current success? How did you build your following in your niche? How much has it changed your book launch process?

Social media is the core of marketing now for me. Readers looking for sweet romance have found me through groups of like-minded authors, and they tell their friends about my books. I wouldn’t be anywhere without friends recommending to others. It really helps focus a book launch, as I know where to reach those who like my books.

Do you do any book signings, interviews, speaking and personal appearances? If so, when and where is the next place where your readers can see you? Where can they keep up with your personal contacts online?

I don’t make personal appearances often. In addition to writing, I’m a live-in caregiver to an elderly woman, which limits my travel time. I love looking after her, though, so I hope my readers understand and can wait to meet me in person.

You have great covers. They carry a theme and your brand with them. How does your book cover creation process work? Do you hand over the basic theme or do you have more of a hands-on approach? Do you get your readers involved in its development?

I make most of my covers myself. The ones I haven’t made are multi-author series where we share elements and usually have a single designer make the covers using models we’ve chosen. For my own, the hardest part is finding the right models. My covers can’t look sexy, as it would mislead readers. Guys need to have their shirts on, ladies’ gowns are fully laced. I do enjoy getting feedback from readers on Facebook when I’m torn between two heroes. So many handsome men to choose from!

You have written many short stories and novelettes. Can you tell us if they had an impact on the sales of your novels? Are shorty’s one of your styles of writing or are they created to give readers a sample of your work?

My shorts do help sell the novels, I believe. A reader can buy an inexpensive story and get a sample of my style before spending full price on a novel. It’s the same with anthologies—just a sample to whet readers’ appetites.

I got my start writing short stories for magazines, and I like the challenge of writing a satisfying tale in so few words. I’ve been neglecting my full-length novels, and plan to rectify that in 2019.

What is your primary genre? What has been your best marketing approach to this group?

Regency historical romance is my primary genre. It’s a very specific genre, focused on a short period in the early 19th century, but lovers of historical romance in general enjoy that period, too. To reach that market I cross promote with other authors of historical romance, which lets our readers know of authors they might have missed. Ads centered around historical readers, blog tours focused on the same, have a better result than the broad romance market.

What has been your experience in giving your books away free? Have you been involved in any other type of giveaways and how did that work out? What was your main goal in doing this? Did you run into any obstacles?

I have a few books that are permanently free and find they’re a great starting spot for new readers. I’ve actually had readers comment on one as the perfect introductory book, since they loved it so much.

Giveaways at social media events do well to attract attention, but I find a tendency for attendees only wanting to win prizes and have no intention of buying books. I do see sales numbers rise when I offer books, though, just not as significantly as a sale price. Book giveaways give you advertising without saying “buy my book”, as do other types of prizes. Non-book giveaways are a great way to show my appreciation to my readers, but they don’t appear to have an impact on sales.

Do you maintain a reader list? What are the methods you use to find your readers and create the list and the relationship? Do you use social media, forums, newsletters and/or support groups to build your list?

I have a newsletter, but I don’t use it to its potential. My interaction with readers is mostly on social media. I belong to reader groups where we can discuss books and life and such. I’m also “friends” with a large number, many of whom I can interact with just like my real-life friends. I enjoy knowing these people so well, and letting them into my life.

What is the objective for your newsletter? Do you try to build a list of readers? Do you see a carryover to the sales of your novels?

I use the newsletter to inform my readers of new releases, contests, and releases from authors I enjoy. I probably should share more personal details there, but I figure we’re all there to discuss our main love—books!

I like the idea of Author bundles. You are a part of a novel collection called Love, Christmas 2 with twenty-five other authors. What a great group of outstanding people. (Many have been interviewed on this blog). What was your main objective in bundling your works with other authors? What blogging, newsletter and social media promotions have you done to promote the collection?



I absolutely love being in these bundles! Not only does it give readers a fantastic deal getting so many stories for such a great price, it allows them to discover new authors. In the most successful bundles we’ve put a good deal of money into advertising in new-release newsletters, book blogs and social media ads. We’ll hold a Facebook party to meet with readers, share teasers, and offer giveaways. On Twitter, we might have a short period of sharing focused tweets to become more visible for a bit. The focus is to be visible in as many places as possible in a short period, as you’ll notice in TV commercials when a movie is released. Make the book cover familiar, and when a reader sees it they’re more likely to check it out.
