5 SHORT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR STEPHANIE:
#1: What inspired you to write the story?
STEPHANIE: When I think of summer, I think of being outdoors, so I wanted a major of the setting to be outdoors. I wanted Ella to be a strong heroine, one who was very self-confident, and I thought being an althete would give her that. She's modeled after Maria Sharipova. I wanted my hero to be down-to-earth and very easy-going. Logan really embodies that.
#2: How long did it take?
STEPHANIE: It took about 6 weeks to write the story.
#3: Why set the story in New Hampshire?
STEPHANIE: I come from the area so I'm familiar with it. I did do some research about the lake and some on tennis. I always have fun researching.
#4: What makes this book special?
STEPHANIE: There's plenty of suspense and romance. Logan is a special kind of hero - just perfect for Ella.
#5: How long have you been writing short stories for Victory Tales Press?
STEPHANIE: Since 2010 or 2011. My first story was "Christmas in Bayeux." I like to travel to international locations in my short stories. It's a nice escape and travel, especially around Christmas time.
Reviews:
5 Stars, Maggie Toussaint, Amazon Reviewer: "A sweet novella about falling in love."
5 Stars, Reader Forever, Amazon Reviewer: "This is a well-written fast-paced novella that I read in a couple of hours. I love the idea of setting the story around a tennis tournament since we never miss tennis shows on TV. The characters are nicely developed and there is enough suspense to keep you hooked. Recommended read."
