In honor of a great boxed set releasing this week, my first 8 authors featured for 2014 are the ones who have written about Unforgettable Heroes. You are going to love them!
Please welcome and get to know Bobbye Terry in this Q&A:
1. Choose one: Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice or Mr. Knightly from Emma?
Mr. Knightley because he is intuitive and follows his moral conscience. His love for Emma, however, is something which he has trouble governing, because he is encountering something he’s never felt. I find that to be a very romantic picture of a hero. Still, my favorite hero in this genre would be Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre, a man plagued by his past who still believes just maybe he can have the dream.
2. Choose one: Ranger or Morelli from Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series?
Probablly Morelli, but Stephanie’s heroes aren’t my type. I go more for the polished brooding male with a major character flaw he has to overcome.
3. Favorite book you WISH you had written?
Gone with the Wind.
4. Favorite movie you would star in…if you were a movie star?
Probably something Kathryn Hepburn did, like Philadelphia Story, later made into the musical High Society. Of course, being opposite Cary Grant back then wouldn’t have been a terrible hardship.
5. Favorite escape: (i.e., wine, travel, book)?
I love warm beachy locations. My favorite travel retreats are the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Lake Tahoe, one for each coast.
6. What is your favorite kind of cake? (I must ask…I’m a cake aficionado!)
I’m really a pie girl and love Lemon Icebox Pie. Let me see, I’d have to say Lemon Pound Cake, from scratch of course, with plenty of real butter.
7. What is your creative outlet (aside from writing)?
I’m a cook and a baker. I won a city award once in my hometown for my Cream of Broccoli soup. I do bake a killer cream cheese pecan pie. I also like photography and concentrate on landscapes and lots of sunsets and sunrises.
8. Tell me about your next book release.
Part of the upcoming blockbuster boxed set, Unforgettable Heroes, This Magic Moment is the tale of two workaholic executives who have a hard time relinquishing control to fall in love. Here is the blurb:
Zack Graham, CEO of Scrumbles Snack Cakes, is energetic, magnetic and forget it—no women for him, except to relive an occasional sexual itch. He’s a workaholic who refuses to let a woman make a fool out of him again. But what about Crandall Drake, the CEO of Pretzelicious Pretzels? He tells himself all he wants is sex. His heart is telling him it wants more. Is he about to change his mind?
9. Who would play your leading man if/when your next book gets picked up by Hollywood?
Oh, I think Channing Tatum would do.
10. Best advice you’ve gotten as a writer?
BICHOK, Butt in Chair Hands on Keyboard. That’s the only way you finish a book.
