I’m super excited to announce a new feature here at Brain Candy: short interviews with some of my—and hopefully your—favorite contemporary romance writers! At least one Friday a month, I’ll intersperse these interviews with my Red Hot Reads.
Today, I’m dancing a little jig because Wendy S. Marcus is here to chat with us about one of her newest books, Craving Her Soldier’s Touch! However, if you’re not familiar with Wendy’s backlist, be sure to check those out. I featured Once a Good Girl on Red Hot Reads last year.
Hi Kelsey!
Thank you for having me on your blog to celebrate my U.S. e-book release day!
1) What’s the name of your latest release? I have two books out in January. While they are connected stories, each is written to stand alone. Today I’m going to talk about the first book in the Piermont Sisters duet, Craving Her Soldier’s Touch, a story of ‘outgoing twin’ Jaci Piermont overcoming past torment and Ian ‘Ice’ Eddelton dealing with the mental and physical traumas of war so they can both achieve a well-deserved happily ever after. Readers can find out more here: http://wendysmarcus.com/books/
2) Describe the book’s hero in three words: Loyal. Scarred. Delicious (per a reviewer on Goodreads!)
3) What do you love most about writing contemporary romance? Creating realistic stories laced with heat and humor that always have a happily ever after ending.
4) What’s the last contemporary romance you read that you loved? I love all the books in the Lucky Harbor series by one of my favorite contemporary romance authors, Jill Shalvis.
5) Reader question from Amy Remus: Do you model characters after people you know? No. But that’s not to say I don’t use little quirks and mannerisms here and there.
6) Do you have any extras or sneak peeks available for readers? If readers click on the above link for the Books page of my website, they’ll see a link for an excerpt from chapter one of Craving Her Soldier’s Touch. As a thank you to everyone who has visited today, here’s a link to a secret sneak peek at the sexy prologue. (Intended for readers over the age of 18 only!) http://wendysmarcus.com/a-special-sneak-peek-from-craving-her-soldiers-touch/

Wendy will stop in today, so we can all bug her in the comments. One lucky commenter will win a copy of Craving Her Soldier’s Touch!
My question for her is: What do readers tell you they love about medical romances, yours in particular?

Today is Bubble Gum Day. The only downside that this one is if you get your Super Bubble caught in your hair. My fave bubble gum of all time is Super Bubble green apple. Makes me smile every time! Are you a Super Bubble or Hubba Bubba (or something else) fan?
