Heroes to Swoon For

Author PC Zick

SE: Welcome Patricia!? I know you go by PC in the writers world, but Patricia sounds so much warmer when we are talking! Have you ever been in a box set before?

PC: No this one is my first.

SE: Mine too!? How did you get involved in this set?

PC: I took Rachelle’s first Romance in a Month class back in May, and I really had the bones of a novel when we finished in June. I managed to finish it over the summer. When the call came for swoony heroes, I decided my Dean made the cut.

SE: That is very cool! Fun to be able to write a book in a few weeks! So what did you think of the process of being part of the box set?

PC: It’s been a tremendous learning curve for me because I’m working with other authors who have much more experience in marketing and doing box sets than me. I’ve been taking notes and doing what I can to help where directed.

SE: Personally, I think you have rocked it! Tell us about the book you have in the box set.

PC: Behind the Altar is about forbidden but overwhelming love. I set it in a small town in Florida, near where I lived for thirty years. I’ve always despised hypocrites, especially those who hide behind organized religion because they’ve gained the trust of a whole congregation. When the pure-hearted Leah, with her altruistic nature, is confronted with this hypocrisy, she grows into a woman and walks into the arms of her fiance’s brother, Dean.

P.C. Zick Bio:

P.C. Zick began her writing career in 1998 as a journalist. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction. She describes herself as a “storyteller” no matter the genre.

She was born in Michigan and moved to Florida in 1980. Even though she now resides in western Pennsylvania with her husband Robert, she finds the stories of Florida and its people and environment a rich base for her storytelling platform. Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife?both human and animal?supply her fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.

She writes two blogs, P.C. Zick and Living Lightly. She has published three nonfiction books and six novels.

Her writing contains the elements most dear to her heart, ranging from love to the environment. In her novels, she advances the cause for wildlife conservation and energy conservation. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion.

Heroes to Swoon For – Author Julie Leto

Heroes to Swoon For

Author Julie Leto

SE: Julie – it has been an honor to work with you on this project! Have you ever been part of a box set before?

JL: I’ve been a part of a few, the most recent being the Naughty 9 collection of sizzling romantic suspense. ?It has ten stories in it and made the USA Today list. ?It was a wonderful experience.

SE: Oh, that looks good – Think I might have to download that! How did you get involved in this set?

JL: I saw a call for authors who had stories with a certain kind of heroes and one was “rock star/musician.” ?It reminded me of a short story I’d written a while back that I hadn’t done much with since I first published it. ?I loved this story and wanted it to reach a wider audience. ?I contacted the organizer to offer it as a bonus story, since it was shorter than the others. ?They accepted my offer…so here I am!

SE: And so glad you are!? what did you think of the process – or what was your favorite part of the process?

Writing the foreword was my favorite part! ?It was an honor to be asked and it gave me a chance to say some things about the romance genre and romance readers that I wanted to say.

SE: Thank you for that. Tell us about your story that is in our box set:

“How You Remind Me” has one of my favorite tropes in it–amnesia! ?It’s about a couple who spent an amazing night together, but for “reasons,” she doesn’t remember any of it. ?He desperately wants to remind her, but if he does, she’ll have to face a lot of bad stuff along with the good. ?So he comes up with a great way to “spark” her memory.

Julie Leto Bio:

Julie Leto is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller of over forty-five books for four major publishers who has gone entirely “indie.” ?She’s the single-mom to an awesome teenager, a hyper rescue dog and a haughty Russian Siberian cat. ?She was born and raised in Florida and will live there forever.

Heroes to Swoon For – Author Jennifer St Giles

Heroes to Swoon For

Author Jennifer St. Giles

SE: Jennifer – It has been a pleasure to work with you on this box set! Have you ever been part of a box set before?

JS: I have novella and a short very sexy story in a small boxed with two of my best writing friends called Tonight and Forever Magical Romances. They are the first two sensual stories from a magical place where fantasies, take flight, dreams come true and happy endings are found.

SE: That looks great and sounds very spicy! How did you get involved in this set?

I got involved in Magical Romances over champagne and Godivas. With Heroes to Swoon For ?I received an internet offer I couldn’t refuse.

SE: What did you think of the process – or what was your favorite part of the process?

JS: My favorite part of doing the Magical Romances boxed set is the same as being part of Heroes to Swoon For and with having become an Independent author: The blessed freedom of being able to be in charge of our own careers instead of helpless puppets dangling on strings.

SE: That is so totally true! Tell us about your book that is in our box set:

I was in the midst of writing dark gothic historicals and fast paced paranormal thrillers and wanted to write something a little lighter. I never get completely away from suspense, but I wanted to have fun with sexy and southern and show just how erotic a healthy relationship between a man and a woman can be. To love and to be love is the greatest gift and need that can ever be given or filled. Wild Irish Ride–my bride on the run story– originally had photographs of the hero and heroine throughout the book in different scenes.? I thought back in 2010 with the coming of the digital format for books, the new “graphic novel” would take off. So Dayna Linton from NovelsAlive.TV and Photographer Annette Batista collaborated with me. It didn’t go anywhere at that time, but I haven’t lost hope on that idea and look forward to doing it again in the future when I have the money to make it happen.
