Welcome My Guest - Rachel Leigh

Thank you, Rachel with visiting with us today.

I hear you have a new release with The Wild Rose Press.

Let's all read the blurb.

Kelly Hampton loved once...and lost. After two years of looking for Sean MacKenzie in other men--and failing miserably--she takes a vow of celibacy. No sex until she finds love. Then Sean strolls back into her bar, reigniting old flames. No one has come close to understanding or satisfying her like he did. Her body burns for the passion they once shared, but her heart still remembers the pain.

Sean escaped Jessop Hill and his father's fists in the middle of the night without a word--even to his love, Kelly--to protect his battered mother, but he never forgot the explosively erotic relationship he left behind. Now his father is dead and Sean is back for the only woman he's ever wanted. Their reunion is full of fire – but can sexual attraction and noble intentions overcome years of heartache or will Kelly walk away to protect her heart this time.

Now, for the interview questions.

1) Do you believe in love at first sight?

Not so much love as attraction – or maybe even intrigue. I think when we first see or speak to someone and we get that loop the loop in the belly, or pinch of heat at our cheeks, you can guarantee it’s because of something they’ve said that we like, or something they’ve done we agree with or they’ve looked at us in a way that makes us feel a million dollars!

Those are the things that set the sparks a-flying!

2) What was the best advice you were given about writing or life?

I’ll answer both!!

Writing – Give yourself permission to write a ‘crappy’ first draft.

Life – Rather than advice, it’s a quote that I try to remember and live my life with the words in mind:

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” – Maya Angelou.

3) Do you celebrate when each book is published?

Absolutely!! It usually involves lots and lots of blogging in the day and then lots and lots of wine in the evening, lol! ; )

4) What are you currently working on?

My next novella which is about a British heroine starting a new life in Greece – here’s the blurb:

Michelle Hutton leaves everything behind and flies from the UK to Greece in search of a new beginning. Her first encounter is with a sexy, pro-bono lawyer with a body that could adorn the cover of Playgirl. When they talk, he tells her his sister has a restaurant that desperately needs a new chef. Sam Clarke seems too good to be true. And Michelle doesn’t trust men – or anyone else after being let down time and again by the people she loves. Including the parents she left behind. But damn, he’s hard to resist…

Sam Clarke is a busy man – a man on a mission to help women in jeopardy. Women running for their lives or trying to start new ones. So when a woman with hair like a sheet of gold and eyes bluer than ocean walks into the bar, asking for help, what is he’s supposed to do? The electricity between them is hotter than a live wire and Sam knows this woman could distract him from his work. He needs to stay away…yet time and again he goes back for more.

I am about half way through and hope it is ready for submission in a few weeks.

5) Tell us your favorite…

Movie? When a Man Loves A Woman, Dirty Dancing or Scent of A Woman

Time of Year? Summer – Love the heat and wearing vest tops (a rare treat in England!)

Song? Always On My Mind – Elvis Presley

Author: Desiree Holt, Marie Tuhart
