Here’s a chance to meet the authors featured in this month’s Kindle giveaway – yes, that includes me. Having won a Kindle from Bookrhythm back in June, I wanted to offer one of my ebooks for the current Kindle giveaway. CLICK HERE to enter the drawing!
So, I’ve answered a few questions…
Q: Who is your favorite character you’ve written?
A: Probably Bernadette Maguire, the main character in my ‘chocolate’ trilogy.
Q: What book(s) are they in?
A: Readers meet a 20-year-old Bernadette in Chocolate for Breakfast, and by the end of the novel, she’s in her early 40s. The sequel, Chocolate Fondue, continues where the first book ended, and in Bittersweet Chocolate, Bernadette is around 50.
Q: What is the setting of the book(s)?
A: Chocolate for Breakfast takes place mostly in Fribourg, Switzerland (with trips to Holland and Austria), but also in Providence, Rhode Island.
Q: List one fun fact about the book?
A: The tiny attic room where Bernadette lives as a student (in Switzerland) is exactly the same as the room I lived in, while a student in Switzerland. Most of the rest of the book is all made up – yes, it’s a novel 🙂

Love the idea of continuing a story throughout the character’s life. Not very many books like that out there.

Thank you, Sarah. People who have read the series have told me they felt very connected to Bernadette and hated to see the book end.

Well, Lee, I’m no expert, but if you have a small piece of dark chocolate in the morning, it shouldn’t add weight!
