THE WAIT

Turning thirteen can be difficult - especially
when a time-traveling thief steals your necklace, and a brewing temporal
conflict turns your birthday party into a mission to save the universe. As
Hannah and her friends chase the thief across time and space, they learn her
necklace is more than a pretty piece of jewelry. Only one person can control
the powerful pendant, and they must find them before the entire universe is
wiped from history.
Myth and magic collide as they race to find The
Guardian of Time.
Interview:
Hey Traci!! First I want to say welcome to Two Chicks on
Books I’m glad you could stop by for a chat! WORTH THE WAIT sounds AWESOME and
I can’t wait for everyone to read it!
I’m so excited to be
here. Thanks for having me!
For the readers: can
you tell us a little bit about the WORTH THE WAIT and the characters?
Sure. Worth the Wait
is a small-town sweet romance between two characters who are at crossroad
points in their lives. My heroine, Mandy Reynolds, is at a low-point career-wise
and grieving. She’s back in her hometown of Heavenly Falls to settle her
beloved mother’s estate. While there though, she gets a surprise. She’s
inherited half a house, with none other than the ex-stepbrother she used to
crush on back in high school. They disagree on almost everything about the
house, but are forced to live and work together in order to make this work out
for both of them. Of course, along the way old feelings get reignited and
things become way more complicated than either of them wanted or expected.
What are you working
on now?
Right now, I’m
working on revisions for my next Medical Romance with Harlequin. It’s a
Christmas story and part of a continuity that will release beginning in
November of this year. I’m also writing Book 2 in my Point Beacon series with
Entangled Bliss.
Were any of the
characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?
Not necessarily,
though I do tend to study people for their quirks. LOL. Honestly, when I first
started this book seven years ago (yep, you read that right), I was just trying
to challenge myself. At the time, I was published in paranormal romance, but
wanted to crossover into contemporary romance. So, I wondered what kind of jobs
hadn’t I seen enough of for heroes in the books I was reading. Tax man was
pretty rare, so I went with that. Then I thought about what kind of woman would
get this guy’s attention, in the best and worst ways, and came up with a
flighty actress. The rest developed from there. Opposites attract is one of my
favorite tropes, along with second chances, and I managed to get both of them
in this book.
Who was your favorite
character to write? What about your least favorite?
Gosh, Ioved writing
all the characters in this book. I mean, if I don’t like them, who else will,
right? LOL.
What kind of research
did you have to do for the story?
I watched a lot of
This Old House episodes since I know nothing about construction and my hero is
an expert in it. I also learned a lot about acting and drama therapy too.
Who is your ultimate
book boyfriend?
Geralt of Rivia from
The Witcher #hmmm
What inspired you to
write romance?
I read my first
romance when I was in eighth grade and never looked back since. There’s such
diversity and delightful stories in our genre. Really something for everyone. I
never thought about writing one though until one night in 2011 I had a dream
(cliché alert, LOL, but it’s true). It wouldn’t get out of my head until I
wrote it down. 100K+ words in a month later, I had my first story on paper and
a lot of work ahead to get it ready for anyone else to see. But yeah. That
first story ended being my first published novel back in 2013 and the rest is
HEA history!
