Yay! Today I have Mandy Baggot joining me for my Fake Friday slot! She's here to talk about her recently published Made In Nashville. Over to you, Mandy! My Twitter style question: Describe your hero in 140 characters.
Hot, sexy, rough around the edges, hard and tough
with a good heart and strong values!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Why do you like writing romance?
Writing
romance has always excited me. We all love that feeling of falling in love and
being in love in life and when you can spice it up a bit and make nothing
impossible in fiction it’s all the more thrilling. I love making my characters
experience the whole range of emotions that comes with a story about
relationships!
What do you do with a paperback once you’ve read it?
I
give them to charity unless they’re signed by the author and then I keep them.
I think the Kindle was invented just for me. I keep very little and being able
to read something and press delete appeals! I never re-read books.
What is next on your agenda after publishing Made in Nashville?
I’m
currently writing a novel set in an all inclusive hotel in Corfu. It’s about a
thirty something accountant called Ellie Brooks and her half-sister Lacey
visiting this hotel to plan Lacey’s wedding. While they’re there both sisters
have an attraction to members of the animation team but, as with most of my
books, there are secrets on both sides. Ellie’s in trouble at work, Lacey’s
unsure about her impending nuptials and Yan is hiding the biggest secret of
all…
Cocktail or shot? If so, what one?
Cocktail!
There is a beautiful one I have all the time when I’m on holiday called an
Apricot Cooler!

Tea or coffee?
Tea!
Starbucks or Costa?
Neither!
I’m not a coffee girl and I don’t like paying for over-priced anything!
Dogs or cats?
Cats!
Blurb for
Made in Nashville
Love
ABC’s Nashville? Fall in love with a story that’ll drag you into the heart of
the country music scene.
Battle
scars, broken contracts and a returning star with a point to prove. Fists are flying faster than award
nominations and emotions run even higher.
Country rebel and rock star, Jared ‘Jed’
Marshall is hot property on the Tennessee music scene in more ways than one.
He’s wild, he’s sexy and everybody wants a piece of him. But when he sets his
sights on singer Honor Blackwood, is it pure attraction or just distraction on
his mind?
Visit
the home of country music and get ready for the finger-picking read of the
year!
