Geoducks are for Lovers b y Daisy Prescott What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? The initial spark happened when some friends were talking about going to a college reunion. Then shortly after I watched Reality Bites. The idea of what happened to those cynical Gen X friends now that they're in their forties sparked the idea for who my characters would be. I've been reading a lot of contemporary romances and while I enjoy New Adult, I thought it would be fun to write a love story where the characters are older, with baggage and complicated pasts but still figuring out their lives. What was your favorite part of writing this book? I loved writing the close connections between friends who have known each other for decades. My favorite character is Quinn. He is a composite of several people I've known in my life. I wish he really existed and were my bestie. What is your favorite line from your book? So difficult to choose!!! My favorite lines conta...

THE HUNTED SERIES Saved by the Rancher, Lucky Like Us, The Right Bride By: Jennifer Ryan Fun Q&A with Jennifer Ryan on Saved by the Rancher. 1. What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? For me, it's always the opening scene that comes first. It is, after all, the catalyst for everything else. In Saved by the Rancher , the spark came from the thought that we'd meet Jenna at her lowest point. How would she fight her way back, take control of her life once and for all, and find a man she could trust, who loved her and would never hurt her? Do you believe in love at first sight? Jack certainly didn't. Not until Jenna came into his life, hurt and broken, he's compelled to help heal her, but her strength and generous heart draw him in even deeper. He'll do anything to mend her broken heart, show her love can build a life, not tear one down, and protect her at all costs against a man, who claims to love her, but only wants to possess h...
