Connie Hoff aka C.P. Hoff is passionate about her writing. She started in the her later years but she loves every moment. I asked C.P. why is writing important to her. She told me that "when her child died, she started writing because she could put the pain on paper." She never told anyone that before but Keepin It Real was the first to know. I am happy that she was ready to share that with the listeners and myself. It took alot for her to do that. Therefore, C.P. reason why she do the things she does every day is because she feel like she is in paradise. She is so happy now with a wonderful family. She has a wonderful husband who supports and loves her. Her life did a 180 and she is very happy. MORE ABOUT C.P.: C.P.

Kristine is full of energy. I love her positive energy. She didn't realize that writing would be her passion. Kristine loves writing so much that she can't stop thinking about it. I asked Kristine about a fun fact about her and she told me she loves chickens. She almost have a chicken farm. This interview is full of fun and life. ALL ABOUT KRISTINE: It wasn’t until later in life that Kristine Raymond figured out

what she wanted to be when she grew up, an epiphany that

occurred in 2013 when she sat down and began writing her first novel. Over a dozen books in multiple genres later,

there are a multitude of ideas floating around in her head

thus assuring she’ll never be idle.

When a spare moment does present itself, she fills it by navigating the publishing and promotional side of the

business. When not doing that, she spends time with her husband and furbabies (not necessarily in

that order) at their home in south-central Kentucky, gardens, reads, or binge-watches Netflix. SEASONS OF LOVE is a collection of short stories to entertain throughout the year. Kristine released independently and the book is available worldwide in digital and print across all platforms. It's about..Four couples, Four seasons and A lifetime of love.

1)Dogwoods in Springtime-Still in mourning three years after her husband’s death, Caroline Ballard’s solitary life in rural Kentucky is disrupted by a broken water line, of all things. As if the lack of running water wasn’t bad enough, her immediate attraction to plumbing contractor Rick Spencer unearths emotions long thought buried. Opening her heart to love for a second time, a malicious lie told by his ex-wife threatens to end the budding relationship before it begins.

2)Seashells in Summer

-

Having adopted her four-year-old daughter, Lily, at birth, Taylor

Brightman is suspicious when former Marine Sergeant Grant Cutler appears on her Nantucket Island doorstep claiming to be the girl’s biological father. Wary of his motives, his good looks and charming personality win her over, but can she trust that she won’t lose custody along with her heart?

3)Aspens in Autumn-Ramsey Fiorentino is having a bad day. On the run for her life after witnessing a murder, she’s being pursued by none other than Bishop Hamilton, a private investigator hired by the person who committed the crime. When he catches up to her and the truth comes out, they flee to the mountains of Flagstaff, Arizona to hide, but it’s only a matter of time before their newfound romance is tested in the wake of a deadly confrontation. 4)Snowflakes in Winter

When New Hampshire State Trooper Alex Ballard becomes stranded during a blizzard in the middle

of the night, he seeks refuge at a local bed and breakfast, surprised to discover the owner, Chloe

Mancuso, is the sole occupant. A passionate night spent in each other’s arms ignites feelings neither

thought possible, but there’s someone else with his eye on Chloe and he’s not willing to share.

Kristine also have a new genre book called "Finn-Agled." To find out more, please visit her website at www.kristineraymond.com and follow her on Facebook,

Elsa Melero splits her time as a front-line health care worker, helping out and pushing for progress during the pandemic as well as helping Frank renovate and rebuild the salon during her far and few between days off. The salon was a passion project for the two of them, which quickly turned into a hopeful project.

“It’s painful and tiring now, but we’re doing it for our kids”, Frank says while taking a minute to catch his breath after a long, tiring day of work. The salon was supposed to be a way to have a solid foundation and a family business, so their two kids can grow up working with the family. The Pandemic caused a stand-still for salons and had Frank and Elsa re-thinking their decision.

With Elsa on the front-lines and Frank working tirelessly to finish the renovation of Serás Salon, the days seemed to get longer and longer for the two of them.

“Keep Pushing and Have Faith”, they tell each other to keep motivating one another during their final stretch before the re-launch.
