Brain Candy Readers, welcome to another fabulous interview with contemporary romance writer, Wendy S. Marcus. We’re fortunate that Wendy could visit with us two weeks in a row!
Hi Kelsey!
Thank you for having me back again this week to talk about the second book in my Piermont Sisters duet, Secrets of a Shy Socialite. For readers who missed last week’s post on book one, Craving Her Soldier’s Touch, it can be found HERE. And while the books are related, each book is written to stand alone.
1) What’s the name of your latest release? Secrets of a Shy Socialite is about ‘quiet twin’ Jena Piermont, who has made a difficult and controversial decision that she hopes will prolong her life with her infant daughters, and how the unsuspecting father turns into the man he’d always hoped to be as a result. Readers can find out more here: http://wendysmarcus.com/books/
2) Describe the book’s hero in three words: Strong. Caring. Determined.
3) What do you love most about writing medical romance? Since I’m a nurse, I love writing about the lives of strong, capable and caring nurses both in the medical setting and in their private lives. Because nurses are so much more than their jobs.
4) You write contemporary romance, is that your favorite genre of romance to read? I am a voracious reader, and I do love to read contemporary romance. But I also love historical romance and romantic suspense, depending on my mood.
5) Breast cancer is a very emotional topic. Why did you choose to write about it in Secrets of a Shy Socialite? Genetic testing for the ‘breast cancer gene’ and prophylactic mastectomies are very hot topics in the discussion of women’s health issues right now. And I wrote Jena’s story to be about so much more than breast cancer. It’s about a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, it’s about survival.
Wendy S. Marcus writes medical romance for Harlequin Mills and Boon under the tagline: These aren’t your Aunt Mabel’s medical romances. They’re hot, sexy, and fast-paced. To learn more visit her website. Find Wendy on Facebook. Tweet with Wendy on Twitter. Talk books with Wendy on Goodreads.
