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 🙂
Martha,
I have nominated you for a “One Lovely Blog Award”. You can accept or decline, I just wanted folks to know I enjoy your blog.
Thank you, Denise!
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.
It’s great to know more about you and your books.
Thanks, Sandra – and right back to you! xoxo
Awww. Thanks Martha.
Going to be checking this series out – it sounds like great fun! Thx!
I hope you enjoy it, Kathy
I’m going to check this series out – thx!!!
I’ve heard great things about the chocolate books and I’m adding them to my tbr.
Hey Char – That’s sure nice to hear. Thank you!
breakfast will never be the same again
Chocolate should be included at every breakfast! Thanks, Marcy
You had me at *chocolate*!
Ha!
How lucky you were to live in Switzerland and get to study there!
Very lucky, Diane. I went back after college and worked as an au pair (nanny). There’s a book in there!!
Oh wow, love the idea of a book covering so much of a person’s life. Sounds interesting. Will have to add to my wish list! Thank you!
Thank you. I’m proud of this trilogy. Hope you enjoy it.
Great to meet you, I love The Chocolate for Breakfast!
Thanks, Holly, and I appreciate the comment!
I’d love to eat chocolate for breakfast….not sure my weight would agree though
Well, Lee, I’m no expert, but if you have a small piece of dark chocolate in the morning, it shouldn’t add weight!
I like the idea of this author stroll because we get to know the authors better. I have never heard of you and now I want to read your books. THANK YOU
Thank you so much, Sonya! Nice to meet you, too. 🙂
Hi Martha, I’ve just woken up (yes I’m an Aussie) I love the name of your book Chocolate for Breakfast…so I’m going with that. Heading to the kitchen for some Tim Tams and a cup of coffee 😉
Cheers,
Thank you, Donna! Chocolate for breakfast is a grand idea!
Martha, I’ve just tweeted this post but I noticed that its your old twitter name and not your new one. I’m sure you mentioned a week or so ago on Facebook that you had a new Twitter handle? maybe I’m going nuts!! xxxx
No, you’re right, Lottie. I’ll make sure everything is up to date. Twitter handle is now @AuthorMReynolds THANK YOU!!
My pleasure! 😀
Happy to hear from someone who won previously. The stories look interesting and Iike you incorporated some of your own past into the tale.
As many authors do, Niki – at least first-time authors 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
You should be proud of this series you have created and all the work it represents in the writing. I love my Kindle and in winning one, I’m sure you see the great benefits in owning one. Sending you a ‘well done’ notch for your belt!
Thanks, Stepheny! I am proud of it. Onwards! xx
All this talk about chocolate makes me want some!
It’s okay to eat chocolate for breakfast!
