In this episode we are chatting with H.K Green, her book The Pieces We've Lost releases  August 16th.

Author bio: H.K. Green is a contemporary romance author, based out of Montana, writing raw, emotional stories that will break your heart then put it back together.

Inspired by real-life, relatable challenges, her books feature found families, a healthy dose of sarcastic banter and emotional angst, strong female leads, and the men who’ll do anything to give them the world.

When she’s not writing, she can be found curling up with all kinds of books, hanging out with her rescue animals, going to rodeos or her family’s farm and ranch, and spending time with her real-life book boyfriend.

Book Blurb: It’s been fifteen years since the tragedy that took not only the life of Ellison Wilson’s father but her entire world. Since then, she’s done everything she can to separate herself from the thing they both loved: rodeo. But each year, on the anniversary of his death, she makes an exception for her mother and goes back to the place her heart once belonged.

All Colter Carson wants in life is to rope steers, take home buckles, and make his family proud. After he lost his chance at love, he gave up on fairytales, focusing solely on being a cowboy. But Colter’s never been known to back down from a challenge. So when the girl who wants nothing to do with him or his career stumbles into his life, the only thing he wants to do is win her heart.

Nothing will change the fact that Ellison’s dad is gone. And she’s convinced nothing could change her view on the sport that cost him his life. Not her mother, not an act of God, and definitely not some cowboy from Montana who thinks he can sweep her off her feet and ride them into the sunset.

When the road and the rodeo are all Colter’s ever needed, what lengths will he go to get the girl and heal his own heart?

Where to buy the book: Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and wherever books are sold

In this episode we are chatting with Heather LeRoss author of 

Meet the Author, Heather LeRoss…

I’m known for embarrassing myself in most social situations, oversharing with strangers, and eating too much chocolate … and cake … and ice cream.

My passions are writing stories that make women feel connected and understood, reading good books, cooking food no one in my house will eat because, “Eeww, is that GREEN in there!?” and sleeping. While those are my passions, I spend most of my time arguing about why my boys need to brush their teeth every day, heating up chicken nuggets (only the organic kind because #health), worrying about things I can’t control, and writing.

I spent 17 years in corporate America writing about technology until I decided to find my heart again, write the words I wanted, and left to pursue writing full-time. I wanted to work with people who dream of sharing their stories, so after becoming a Martha Beck trained Coach, I decided to use my training to help others through their book birthing journey as a Writing Coach.

I dream of someday meeting and hugging Hoda Kotb because I imagine she gives the best hugs. And I’m currently working on my next book, a work of fiction, titled, What’s Left is Hope.

Thank you for being here and for being you

About Jeanne Lyet Glassman:

An only child, I was born in San Francisco, CA in 1955. My father was an aircraft mechanic and pilot, and my mother was an artist. Our family relocated to Colombia, South America when I was two for my father’s job, and we returned to the States shortly before I started kindergarten due to the political unrest and my mother’s concerns about the family’s safety. 

 After graduating with a B.A. in English from Eastern New Mexico University, I moved to Albuquerque with plans to pursue an M.A. in English at the University of New Mexico. I met my husband there while playing in a pit orchestra for the musical, Jesus Christ, Superstar!  My husband was principal bassoonist, and I was concert mistress. Many couples have their “song,” but we have our own rock opera!

My husband and I became active in The Compassionate Friends and later co-facilitated S.H.A.R.E., a grief support group for parents who have lost children through miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death. We worked with grieving parents for four years–until shortly after we adopted our daughter, the oldest of our two bi-racial children. A year later, we adopted our son. I’ve written and published several pieces about grief, neonatal death, and adoption, including the essay, “Rising from the NICU,” published on Raising Mothers.

 My creative nonfiction piece, “Healing Arts,” is a tribute to my mother’s struggle with that horrible disease. I returned to graduate school in 2008 and received my MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2010. After my husband retired, we settled in Ruidoso, New Mexico, in 2017 where I have continued to write and teach.

 My awards include an Independent Publishers Book Award for my first novel, BLOOD OF A STONE (Tuscany Press), grants and fellowships from the New Mexico Writers’ Foundation, Ragdale, and the Arizona Commission on the Arts, as well as nominations for a Pushcart Prize and Best Small Fictions. In addition to writing and editing, I also teach creative writing for arts organizations and community groups.

In today's episode we are chatting with Gaby Severino the author of Book of You & I.


"Book of You & I" is a new adult, contemporary fiction set in Ocean City, Maryland.

It's a whirlwind love story about two souls, Olivia and Brandon, coinciding with each other, but is it fate? Follow their journey, and find out what happens when two souls collide.

Blurb

OLIVIA WOODS IS CONVENTIONAL, DOWN-TO-EARTH, AND COMPOSED. She’s the kind of girl who goes out of her way to do the right things for others but forgets about herself.

​BRANDON COLLINS IS UNCONVENTIONAL, A CREATIVE SOUL, AND PRONE TO ECCENTRICITY. He values facts over feelings, and his ability to detach from emotions can sometimes make him lonely.

​When the universe pushes them together under unfavorable circumstances, like lovers from the past and secret relationships, they try to stay apart. But their feelings are too strong to ignore, and they become swept up in a love like they’ve never felt before...until their true colors start to show.

​Even after their first kiss, their first touch, the first time they ever laid eyes on each other; were they destined to meet and fall in love, or was their relationship doomed from the start?
