(A Ferry Creek Novel)
by Karolyn
James
A Chance at Love is the first in the new Ferry
Creek series by Karolyn James. Also available: A Place to Heal.
A Chance at Love is on tour with Reading Addiction Book Tours. The tour stops here today for my interview with the author. Please make sure you visit the other tour stops as well.
Description
A simple phone call can change your life ... just ask successful
businessman Sullivan Chasen.
When the caller shares the news that Sullivan's father is dying, Sullivan
laughs and hangs up. He isn't being heartless, he just knows that it can't be
true - because his father already passed away ... ten years ago.
Like a bad dream, the calls keep coming and DNA results turn Sullivan's
world upside down. There is only one way, and very little time, to figure out
the truth. He packs his bags for the small town of Ferry Creek, North Carolina.
Once Sullivan arrives, he must confront a past he never knew existed,
including a half-brother who lives above their family diner. The longer he
spends away from his wealthy lifestyle and successful business, the more he
falls in love with the small town, its community ... and waitress, Jess
Winthorne.
Can Sullivan Chasen go back to his normal life after learning about his
past or will he discover the missing piece of his heart in Ferry Creek?
Review
I am giving this
book five stars, but this series already deserves a higher rating! Sullivan
Chasen is definitely not the typical, overrated kind of billionaire that
everyone else is writing about. HE is a hard worker, generous, broken, and in
need of answers. When you learn about the people of Ferry Creek, you
immediately want to visit there and eat at The Pot Diner! I'm very curious if
Ferry Creek is based off an actual town, because I would love to go! The
characters' stories are so well developed and flow so smoothly throughout the
book, that you know what everyone is doing and can't put the book down until
you know what is going to happen next! I highly recommend this brand new series
by an already established bestseller, Karolyn James!
Interview with the
Author
Hi Karolyn, thanks for joining me today to discuss
your new book, A Chance at Love (A Ferry Creek Novel).
For what age group do you recommend your book?
Adult … 18-50.
What sparked the idea for this book?
I wanted to bring to
life a small town and turn it into a romance series.
Which comes first? The character's story or the
idea for the novel?
Both for me. I
usually have an idea that runs along with one of the characters.
What was the hardest part to write in this book?
Having Sullivan
finally meet his father and learn the truth of his childhood.
How do you hope this book affects its readers?
I hope it gives them
hope! The story is about accepting change, finding true love where you least
expect it, and it’s about family.
How long did it take you to write this book?
A few months.
What is your writing routine?
I write from
5am-noon. Then I write again at night.
What advice do you have for someone who would like
to become a published writer?
I would say… write a
lot. And read a lot.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
I love to read. I
like spending time with family and friends. Right now I’m wishing for spring so
I can get outside and garden!
What does your family think of your writing?
My children are too
young to read, lol. My other family are diehard fans of Brothers of Rock and Ferry Creek.
That's great, Karolyn. Please tell us a bit about
your childhood.
My childhood was
very boring. I read a lot of books and dreamt of becoming a writer. High school
was fun, as it is for most people. I went through love, heartache, and tragedy …
all of which reflects in my writing.
Did you like reading when you were a child?
YES!
When did you first realize you wanted to be a
writer?
Did your childhood experiences influence your
writing?
Oh, yes. I think all
childhood experiences influence all writers in some way.
Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of
things do they say?
I LOVE being able to
interact with my readers. They know I’m able to be reached via Facebook, Twitter, and email. I love reading
their thoughts on Brothers of Rock and Ferry Creek. The best feeling is when they beg for more books!
What can we look forward to from you in the future?
More Brothers of Rock! More Ferry Creek!
Fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to stop by
today. Best of luck with your future projects.
