GREAT SUMMER READS 2019, PART 2 – FEATURING AUTHOR BRITNEY MILLS

    Room With Books





Britney Mills was born in Utah but parts of her heart lie in Boston, Washington D.C. and Germany. Her love of writing began with the third grade book her teacher assigned her to write and she spent hours hidden behind her mother’s couch writing pages and pages about knights and castles. Now she writes about romance. Go figure.

When she’s not mothering her 4 small children, writing or reading, she’s probably out playing a sport, going on a hike, or binge watching a murder mystery series. The way to her heart is through homemade chocolate chip cookies and five minutes peace.







A self-made billionaire, his real estate agent and three weeks to find the right property.
Jackson Walker hasn’t had the best family life. Growing up in the foster system in Australia, it wasn’t until he met his college football coach that he understood what a normal family looked like. When he gets the call that Coach has passed away, he returns to California for the funeral and to find a place to honor the man. 

Hailey Montgomery threw herself into real estate soon after breaking up with her boyfriend nearly five years ago. She’s been working to build a name for herself and when the chance to make partner at her firm becomes available, she jumps at the chance. But the only way to achieve that distinction is to find a commercial property for the guy she’s nicknamed ‘Golden Boy’ from all the stories her father told about him. 

As spending time together brings them closer, the trust between them is called into question. Can they work through what’s happened in their individual pasts to create a relationship that will last?

GREAT SUMMER READS 2019, PART 2 – FEATURING AUTHOR SONYA RAY

    Room With Books





I grew up in Southeast Missouri; home of the Throwed Rolls, high cotton, and the St. Louis Cardinals. I have a little family consisting of son, daughter, son-in-law and a little Pi. Other than my children (and grandchild), my passion is writing. My current project is The Three Crowns Series. Sweet Tea is the first book in this seven-novel series which published October 15, 2013.

Besides reading and writing, I enjoy singing. I love music period. Music is in our family. Whether it be the bluegrass from the Ozarks that my Grandpa Sutton use to play on his banjo or fiddle, or the smooth, family harmony in which I am fortunate enough to sing with my Dad and Brother. But you can give me some kickin’ AC/DC too! I like it all!

I work full-time as an Administrative Assistant. Every free moment is dedicated to my family and my current project, The Three Crowns, a seven-novel paranormal romance series.




It all starts with a Queen and a Plan.

The Three Crowns is a New Adult/Paranormal Romance series. There are seven books to complete the series, with a novella. This series has your modern day vampires dealing with the Old World Laws creating a struggle for ultimate power in the Night World.



THE THREE CROWNS SERIES SYNOPSIS

The Three Crowns series is about a normal girl whose life is more than what she will allow herself to imagine. It is the journey of her accepting that everything is not black and white, and our logic of what we understand does not mean something does exist. Throughout the story she is protected, loved, groomed and pushed to her limits to prepare her for what lies ahead of her. She is tested in all areas of her humanity which will someday bring her to know the person she is destined to be. The human nature of love is a tangled web of emotions for she feels the love of two men who are continually being taken away from her for the sake of their positions in the future as well.




Q&A With the Author:


1.  What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I work full time as an Administrative Assistant, so the weekends are usually spent cleaning house and doing laundry. But every Sunday I make time to sing with my dad and brother. I love being with my family. My son is 21 so he doesn’t like being around his mom so much, but I still like when he is home. My daughter’s family lives in TN so I enjoy any time they come and visit with the little granddaughter who is a spitfire!

2. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I like to write in first person, that way you feel the depth of the story and how it is affecting everyone. Being a reader myself, I love a good cliffhanger, so it is only natural that I love to write leaving good cliffhangers myself. I know, I know. Some of you don’t like them, but I love reading and writing them!

3. Do you have any suggestions to help budding authors become better writers? If so, what are they?
Stay true to your voice when you write.
Talk with other authors when you can
Appreciate the small victories
Remember why you write
Never give up

4. Where do you get information and ideas for your books?
How the Three Crowns Series came about was my daughter asked me to write a story about a girl on a ranch with all her friends. That turned into eight books, and paranormal at that! I think life inspires me. When we went to Florida last year and I was floating in the Gulf, I knew I had to write about St. George Island. I have so many stories written in notebooks or on my computer. I can only hope that one day I will get them all published.
5. What do you think makes a good story?
I think it has to be heart-felt. If I’m not feeling what I’m writing, my readers are not going to feel it. It doesn’t matter the genre, you have to be able to relate to the characters and feel what they are feeling.

6. Tell us about your favorite summer vacation? Or what do you like to do in the summer?

My favorite summer vacation was last year when we went to St. George Island. I didn’t want to leave! It was my first time at the Gulf and I was fortunate enough to go with my kids. We stayed in a house right on the beach, went swimming every day, chartered a boat and fished for sharks and stingrays, watched the sun come up in the mornings over the Gulf, ate wonderful food, and shopped in Apalachicola. I hope to go back again.

Top Ten List:

1.      Things I like to do when not writing:

I enjoy traveling—I will travel anywhere, any time; reading; spending time with my family; and working in the yard. I’m definitely not a housekeeper.

2.      How I relax:

Sitting on the beach in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico!

3.      My favorite color:

Blue’s always been my favorite color. It’s the color of my eyes, of the sky, and of the ocean.

4.      My favorite drink:

Just can’t pass up a good margarita!

5.      My favorite snack:

I devour nachos and Auntie Anne’s pretzels!

6.      My your favorite movies:

Star Wars, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, and The Mummy. I’ve watched each of these so many times that I’ve lost track, and my husband shakes his head when he sees one on and says, “Really?” I just smile.

7.      I am a night owl:

I don’t usually go to sleep until midnight, and now that I’m retired, I’m comfortable not seeing the sun come up in the morning:)

8.      My favorite food:

That would be a smothered shredded beef burrito followed by coconut ice cream.

9.      My favorite concerts:

Elton John, Sting, Paul McCartney, and Mumford & Sons.

10.   If I could live anywhere, it would be in Colorado.


We have the best weather—All four seasons. I live next to the foothills, and a drive up in the Rockies is a cure for any ailment. I can see the world famous Red Rock Amphitheater from my couch, and if the wind is just right, we can hear the concerts. My immediate family is all here, except for one sister who lives in Texas, poor soul. In addition to being a retired teacher, I’m also a retired airline employee. So, when I need a change, it’s so easy just to hop a plane and go to the beach.

He’s stripped of his rights, his humanity,  even his name. Now as the property of the Arena, offender CS4521 must  learn to fight in the colosseum. It’s kill or be killed.  
See what people are saying about the book

“Murder, friendship, and forbidden romance in a tech-heavy futuristic world. Offender is everything we love about dystopian literature.”
—Rebecca Rode,  USA Today bestselling author of the Numbers Game Trilogy.
 ***
“Offender gripped me on the first page and didn’t let go until the last line. Sharp and emotional writing combined with a hero you can’t help but cheer on. It will keep you turning pages with anticipation. Can’t wait for the next installment!”
— Ilima Todd, bestselling author of the Remake series


Snippet:

Her hand touches mine and lingers. I take in a breath, then go for it. Millimeters away from our lips touching, she turns her head, cutting me off. I’m not sure what to do now. My hand feels awkward holding hers. I must have screwed something up. Maybe I talked too much, or didn’t talk enough. I thought a date in the park would be romantic, but what did I know about romance?

“I’m sorry, Cal.” She speaks in a whisper, and I’m afraid of what she might say. I don’t want her to tell me that I’m not the guy for her when clearly we’re incredible together.
I’m not sure why I say it, but I do. “Mary, I like you.”

Waiting, I tense up slightly as if I just placed my heart on the ground for her to stomp on.

“I like you too, Cal. A lot.” She hesitates and I wait for her to give me the crushing blow. There’s something wrong with me, I’m sure. A girl like Mary can get any guy she wants. She lets go of my hand and begins fidgeting with the buttons on her sleeve. Before I know it, she yanks her sleeve up, revealing the blue brand stamped on her forearm.

Five arrows under the brand mark her as a fifth generation defector.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve told you before, but you asked me out, and I really wanted to be with you.” She pauses and the orange sky glints in her moist eyes. “I don’t want you to get into trouble.”


I take her hand and hold it tightly in mine. “You think I care about that? Screw the edict.”

“Cal, you could get in trouble. Your father—”

Most sleepovers are simple. Food, fun, and pillow fights. But sixteen-year-old Karen Duncan has bigger plans for her slumber party. Family troubles have changed her over the past year, and she’s no longer the petty, selfish girl she used to be. Now she’s ready to shake things up with her friends. The guest list comes as a surprise to some and a slap in the face to others. This popular girl has invited some not-so-popular guests. Even more shocking, she’s left out some of the girls she’s hung out with since middle school.

Diane and Evette are outsiders, nervous about being stuck in a house with the same girls who tease them at school. Kathy, Lisa, and Joann come to the party with the confidence of the in-crowd, but they’re masking inner-turmoil that is bound to surface. Sandy and Angela are usually the voices of reason…usually. And then there’s Linda, the friend that got away. She may not ever forgive the girls who abandoned her years ago. Karen hopes to change her mind.

Her agenda is ambitious, and it could spell disaster. But Karen is convinced God will use this party to spark a new beginning for everyone involved. This companion book to A Living Hope gives us the inspired story Sadie Cummings wrote for the girls of Shiatown.

3) Chocolate!!
4) Dragons and (I have to admit!) unicorns. I have collected figurines and statues of dragons and unicorns since I was small and have a vast collection, some of which live outdoors. But I don’t like “twee”, only ones that look like they could be real.

6) Country walks.
7)All wildlife, especially butterflies. I used to breed and release UK varieties, and belong to the Butterfly Conservation Society.
8) Did I mention chocolate?

Top Ten List:

1) J.S. Jaeger is a pen name for husband and wife team Jerry and Stephanie Jaeger.
2) Jerry is the creative mind behind the world of Zndaria. He puts the story on paper, and then Stephanie reworks it.

4) Our illustrator has worked on lots of shows for Disney, including Mary Poppins Returns.
5) Jerry is an attorney. Stephanie is an accountant. We hadn’t considered writing books until Jerry began envisioning the world of Zndaria.
6) Jerry first wanted to call their world Andaria. A quick internet search showed that name was already overused. We went through the alphabet for something that rhymed with Andaria and sounded cool. We got all the way to Z before finding our winner.
7) The first page of each of our chapters has about 8 lines. We challenge people to read the first page of our books to see if they want to keep reading. Almost everyone turns the page.
8) We met the narrator for our audiobook, RJ Walker, when he stopped by our booth at the Salt Lake FanX Convention. He read the first page of The Golden Wizard in his narrator voice, and we knew he’d do a great job.
9) Stephanie loves doing author visits at schools. She’s visited an international school in China and a military elementary school in Japan.
10) We once autographed a book to “Mr. Illiterate.”
