I have a collection of them at work (thankfully I work in a middle school so it's not THAT weird!) It's like a jungle! I have stuffed monkeys, figurines, candles, pictures, cups, stickers. I'm not sure how interesting that is! I love monkeys? I mean, I love monkeys. Well, I am a school social worker by day, so I write at night and on the weekends. Share something about you that is unique - maybe about how/where you write. The other one is the very end of the book, but I won't say what happens because that gives it all away!

A meteorologist, Summer Raines, a.k.a 'The Weather Girl', can feel when its going to rain. When you follow your heart and your dreams, everything else will fall into place. The Weather Girl by Amy Vastine My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a delightful, wholesome story.

I hope people walk away with the idea that love doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice who you are for someone else. What do you hope readers take with them when they read your book? I like to sprinkle in some humor and create characters people can root for. I like a little angst now and again, but sweet love stories makes me smile. The story itself was written to reflect my love of sweet romance. I never expected them to like the story enough to want to publish it! I did however get some feedback, which was awesome and exactly what I wanted. I figured it was a big enough thing that my feelings wouldn't get hurt if I didn't win or get any response. I wanted to get some feedback from an editor in the romance business and the contest seemed like a low risk way of asking for some. Well, I wrote this story for Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest back in 2012. What is your motivation behind this series? Why did you want to write it?
