AR: THE
FUNDAMENTAL THEORY OF US is my debut and features a sexy-as-sin
Marine, an Upper East Sider in hiding, and sweet, steamy moments. You
can get it from all major ebook retailers, or direct from Evernight.
The blurb is:
Andrew Warren’s
future was with the Marines, until an IED took his leg and derailed
his career. Now he’s flunking Fundamentals, and he enlists the help
of his fellow App State freshman and off-campus neighbor, Sawyer
Layne. It’s not just the beautiful blonde’s looks that intrigue
him, but the hurt in her eyes.
Sawyer spends her
days surrounded by numbers and nights with a bottle of vodka to numb
the darkness of her past. Guys like sexy, tattooed Andrew are exactly
what Sawyer needs to avoid. Look but don’t touch—that’s the
rule. If only his eyes weren’t so blue, and his abs not so
chiseled….
When Sawyer
resists his brand of charm, Andrew uses every devious tactic he knows
to pull her from her shell. Falling in love was never part of the
plan.
NC: Was there any part of this story you
found particularly tough to write? If so, why?
AR: My hero lost his
leg below the knee, and I had no experience with this. I did a lot of
research, and even spoke to a few servicemen who suffered similar
injuries. Their feedback helped me get inside Andrew’s head and
heart. Without them, I couldn’t have brought Andrew to life so
convincingly! Unfortunately I can’t name them, as they’re still
active duty, but they know who they are and I am forever indebted to
them <3
NC: Is there any part of this story you
absolutely love, and why?
AR: TFToU is all
about redemption and self-forgiveness. I love how Sawyer and Andrew
work through their own demons while helping each other at the same
time.
NC: I adore a good redemption story. Do you have a favourite genre to write
in?
AR: I enjoy romance,
both reading and writing. Most of my works contain at least a little
love ;) I’m also a huge SFF fan. My first YA science fiction novel
was snatched up by Entangled Teen and comes out in 2018.
NC: If you could recommend any book (beside
your own) to everyone reading this, what would it be?
AR: TALES BY RAILS by
Jewel E. Leonard. One-click asap. You’ll love it!
NC: And now, the hard-hitting question. Tea or coffee?
AR: Well, that’s
not fair. Are we talking Starbucks? Because then the answer is
obvious. Unless you mean iced green tea...
NC: Somehow, I have never tried green iced tea...but I don't think the UK Starbucks carry as much variety as the US ones! I feel like we only just got Pumpkin Spice Lattes...And finally, what else are you working on right now?
What's up next from you?
AR: I’m working on
a stand-alone in the TFToU world, and trying out a more
blush-inducing erotic romance with an interesting twist!
