Well August is moving right along as is the Rocking Summer Romance blog hop. Today I'm pleased to bring Tina Gayle back today with another of her books....
As
autumn comes to the Winston estate in Ohio, Amber Harrison learns further
lessons in her new position as keeper for the spirits and ghosts who haunt the
estate--and further lessons in love, too. She and her love, Carter Miller,
grapple with the fears and passions of new love, while caught up in the storm
of ancient family drama.
Excerpt:
“How
long before you install the new cabinets?”
He
turned on the ladder. His dark brown eyes captured her, engulfing her in an
encompassing warmth. She melted under his heated gaze, which ran from the top
of her head to the white socks on her feet. He lifted a brow at her attire, but
he didn’t comment on her pink sweat suit.
“With
the old cabinets out of the way, I need to knock down this wall and tear up the
flooring. The electrical work is next on the agenda.” He climbed off the
ladder, yanked off his gloves, and slid a hand through his thick, wavy hair.
“It
might be awhile before we install the new cabinets. Right now, we’re simply
working to remove the old stuff so we can start fresh.” He smiled, which didn’t
hide the dark circles under his eyes or the fatigue in the slump of his shoulders.
“There’s
no hurry. If you’re busy with something else, this can wait until your Dad and
Mattie come home next week.”
“No,
Dad doesn’t want her dealing with this mess.” Carter unbuckled his tool belt
and placed it on a workbench. “I promised him I’d have it done.”
“Is
Grant helping?” Amber stepped around several pieces of sheetrock and stray bits
of wood, to the bottom of the stairs.
He
walked to the backdoor. “Friday, his classes are over at noon.”
With
his hand resting on the doorknob, he appeared anxious to leave. “I’m headed to
lunch, and then I need to drop by the office for a while. Are you sure you’re
okay here by yourself?”
Amber
toyed with the idea of saying no. She missed the taste of his lips and the
strength of his arms, but she nodded instead. “Yes, I’m fine.”
After
opening the door, he paused. “I guess I’ll see you later.”
She
waved and turned to head to her room, satisfied she’d at least gotten him to
talk. Her leaden feet trudged up the steps. Unexcited, she contemplated her latest
assignment from the family council. How could she achieve such an impossible
task of convincing her great grandmother’s ghost to cross over?

I asked Tina a few questions....
Which
comes first, characters or plot? Most of the time plot or open scene
comes first.
Plotter,
Panster, or somewhere in between? Trying my best to become a plotter but
I find I'm somewhere in between
What
is the one question you wish interviewers would ask (answer)
My
favorite question - Among those that you’ve written, which is your favorite
book and why?
Summer's
Growth because I wrote while trying to recover from the loss of my mother. In
many ways, it felt as if she helps me write it.
Well friends, hope you enjoyed this Rocking Summer Romance read and interview! Stay tuned as the blog hop will continue through Sept 23rd!
Until next time...take care and Be Blessed!
