Luca Wolff and Joy Sullivan are competing for
guardianship of their estranged, teenage nephew, Eric, after his parents are
killed in a plane crash. Evidence shows the crash wasn't an accident. Neither
was a recent explosion that destroyed Luca's house. When a fire is
intentionally set in Joy's home, suspicion points to Eric--and that's not the
end of their trouble. Eric has been in his share of mischief, but now he has a
chance to clean up his reputation. That's hard to do when the only people who
believe in you are the ones you're accused of targeting. Just as Luca and Joy
give in to romance, new information comes to light that could tear them apart
along with Eric's dream for a happy family. The three have to set aside their
grief, personal issues, and disagreements to figure out who is out to kill
them…and why.
2. Who is your muse?
Her name is Trixy. When I was six years old I was
devastated to be separated from my twin sister in first grade. Trixy came to
tell me stories and distract me from my loneliness. She got me into plenty of
trouble with all my teachers, but I couldn’t resist her.
3. That is so cute! What does Trixy look like?
Trixy is a pixy. She’s very small and dresses in gold and
green. She flits around with pretty wings. She could be mistaken for a fairy,
but she’s not.
4. My muse has wings, too, but she's not a fairy or a pixie. Describe Trixy’s personality.
Trixy loves scary stories, but she also has a great sense
of humor. She giggles a lot, which makes me laugh as well. We like to play the
game what if....
5. How do you tempt Trixy to work?
There’s no need to tempt Trixy. She’s always by my ear.
Sometimes I wish she’d give me a break.
6. When/where does Trixy inspire you the most?
Trixy loves long car rides. She’s told me she’d love to
ride on a train someday.
7. Has your muse ever gone on strike?
Trixy avoids me if I get depressed, but she can’t stay away
for long.
8. What would your Trix’s motto be to get your butt into
gear?
She doesn’t have a motto. When she wants me to work, she
sings annoying songs in my ear. Let me put it this way. She’ll never star in a
Disney movie.
9. What was your relationship like with Trixy while writing
The Co-Parent Project?
She was a little crazy. Sometimes I’d be in the middle of a
scene and she’d land on my shoulder. “Do you remember that scene three chapters
back? I’ve got a great idea to make it better.”
10. Are you and Trixy working on something new?
We’ve been discussing a five-part series that takes place
in rural Florida. Each will be a standalone romance with a soft suspense, but
there’s a hint of a mystery that runs through them all.
Bio:
From childhood I've moved from place to
place, from Indiana to Florida, stopping in several places in between. I also
moved from job to job; as a waitress, soldier, retail manager, dental assistant,
etc… The one thing I never had to leave behind was my imagination. Storytelling
has always been my favorite way to pass time. I've often been told I should
write a book. Finally, I did. It was so much fun: I felt I must write more, so
I have. I've been a student of Long Ridge Writers Group and once won a short
story contest with Harlequin. I currently live in North Florida with my
husband, whom I torture with crazy story lines and half written manuscripts.

DeleteOh, Loved the The Co-Parent Project!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear.

Someday I will take her on a train. And, I'm not telling who the killer is.

ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thank you, Yvonne.
DeleteI love this interview, and the comments about Trixy! Sandra, I was wondering where in FL you would put the series/stories? I'm from north Florida and not a lot is set there when it comes to novels! Have you heard of the Florida Writers Association? They have a great conference every year in Orlando and they have a contest also, the Royal Palm Literary Award (RPLA). They are a great bunch and you might want to look into them? Good luck to you and Trixy, and thanks Chrys for hosting Sandra!

I'd love to check out the FWA. The Co-Parent Project is set in a factitious town near Jacksonville. The new series will be close to Ocala. I live between those two places. Thanks for the link.
DeleteI love the way you personify your muse. Best of luck with your new release.
ReplyDeleteThank you from us both. I can't keep Trixy quiet.
ReplyDeleteFive part series are fun - I hope you write it.
ReplyDeleteSince I run a publishing company, my muse has abandoned me.
Oh no! Do you want me to send Trixy out to find her?
DeleteCongrats to Sandra! I like the mystery aspect of the story as well as the romance.
ReplyDeleteI always start out with a romance--then someone misbehaves.
DeleteTrixy is quite the mischief maker.
ReplyDeleteThat she is.
DeleteLove the story of your muse!
ReplyDeleteShe'll be primping in the mirror all night. She's gotten so much attention.
DeleteLoved this statement about Trixy: "When she wants me to work, she sings annoying songs in my ear. Let me put it this way. She’ll never star in a Disney movie."
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard! She sounds like the perfect muse for you, Sandra. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you continued success! :)
This sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for introducing us to Sandra and Trixy, Chrys. I don't have a name for my muse...not sure if its male or female. I better try to find out. Your new series will be intriguing as well. :) Nice to meet you, Sandra!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Sandra!! And cheers to Trixy for working so hard.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your newest release, Sandra! And thanks for introducing us to Trixy. She sounds like my kind of muse!
