Today we have Wendy S Marcus visiting us with Giveaways!

Hello Riya and Romance Reader Fans!

Thank you for having me here today, for a quickie interview.

So let’s get started....

What was your inspiration to write?

A few years ago I read 5-7 books a week. If you’d have looked up ravenous reader in the dictionary, you’d have seen a picture of me. (Well, not really. But you get my point.) As a result of all that reading, I quickly exhausted all the books written by my favorite authors. When I expanded my search to include new talent, I came across some (in my opinion) not so great books and thought ‘I can do better than that.’  And I set out to try.

Pros and Cons of writing time vs. family time.

Balancing family time and work time is a real struggle for me, and has been for years. You see, even before I started writing full time, I worked from my home office. When you work from home, your work is always there, taunting you. I’ll be watching an okay show on television and start to think ‘My time could be better spent working right now.’ And off I go to edit or write or mail out books or Facebook or Tweet. Often times I send my husband off on adventures with my youngest so I can have time to write. So often times I miss out on the fun activities they share. But I make sure to be around for the important stuff, band concerts and sports events, and to cuddle and go to the movies, and let my children know I love them every single day no matter what.

Are you a chick-flick, romantic comedy or action film girl?

Definitely chick-flick and romantic comedy. Some of my favorite movies: The Notebook, Dear John, The American President, A Walk to Remember, Chasing Liberty, Bridesmaids, Beauty and the Beast.

Who is your favorite romantic hero?

Well, the romantic hero on which all my heroes (to date) have been based is the ogle-worthy, lust-inducing, fantasy-inspiring Channing Tatum. Yum! But more than his looks, I love his ability to portray strong yet sensitive, caring men…like Kyle in my second Harlequin Medical Romance, Once a Good Girl…, available now!

Here’s the back of the book blurb:

Prim Victoria Forley’s perfect life changed forever the night she slept with Kyle Karlinsky, baddest boy in town. These days, single mum and uber-perfectionist nurse Victoria has goals that nothing – not even Kyle’s shocking reappearance! – can derail. But behind Victoria’s oh-so-frosty exterior is a heat that only Kyle can unleash… maybe it’s the right time to be with the wrong guy after all?
