Author: Elle Casey
Release Date: June 30th, 2013
IT HAPPENED IN VEGAS. I can't be held responsible. Things that happen there are supposed to stay there, right? Right? Yeeeah. Not so much. ... Andie's just days away from tying the knot, but there's just ooooone little glitch. Apparently, she's already married. Or someone with her name is married to a guy out in Oregon of all places, and the courthouse won't issue her a marriage license until it's all cleared up. Tripping her way through cow pies and country songs to meet up with a man who gets around places on horseback is her very last idea of how to have a good time, but if she's going to get married, make partner at the firm, and have two point five kids before she's thirty-five, she needs to get to the bottom of this snafu and fix it quick ... before her fiance finds out and everything she's been working toward goes up in flames.
Author Interview:
1. You started out writing in YA. What brought you over to New Adult?
I've been a
reader of new adult titles even before they were called 'new adult'. And I love the age group it covers. 18-30 years old is such a great time in life,
isn't it? I mean, it's when you sow your
wild oats, learn about yourself in the context of the whole world and not just
your family and friends; it's where you figure out who you're going to be. The adult-formative years I guess you could
call it. And the sex part is awesome
too, I won't lie. You can only get so
sexy with a YA book, so as a writer, I have to hold back. In NA, I don't have to do that. It can be passionate, raw, sometimes awkward
and full of bad decisions, but it can be REAL.
I guess that's what I love about NA most … it's raw and real.
3. How do you write so many books in such a
short period of time?
Short and
sweet: I have a system for getting the
work done, and I'm a helluva fast typer.
More details: I have a ton of stories always waiting in my head to be
told, and when I sit down at the computer, the words just kind of spill
out. My stories are very
character-driven, meaning I don't make up the story. I just find the characters wandering around
in my head, put them in a situation, and let them run with it. Now that I'm a full-time writer, I can
dedicate more of my time to writing that I used to when I was also teaching at
a university. I treat writing as a
business and try to be very disciplined about it. After eighteen months of writing, I've
published 20 novels, so I think my system is working. :)
5. What books do you have in the pipeline right
now?
All kinds of
good stuff! I'm so excited to get them
out to readers. Here's the NA Romance
line-up for June, July, and August: Shine Not Burn, By Design,
and Don't Make Me Beautiful, and then a 3-book series that will be
released on surprise dates this year: Rebel, Hellion, and Trouble. Links to all of them on Goodreads here:
