The Sweet Life is the first book in your Cape Cod Creamery series. How will the books in this series tie together? The transformation of the ice cream shop is the story arc that holds the book together . . . hopefully without first melting down.
Why did
you choose Cape Cod as the setting for your book? My dad grew up on
Buzzards Bay. His two older brothers became dentists and had their practice on
the Cape. It’s always held a piece of our family heart.
The female protagonist’s mother, Marnie Dixon, purchases a run-down ice cream shop. Please tell readers why you decided to center your new series around an ice cream shop. My husband is an ice cream maker! He attended Penn State’s Ice Cream School (yes, there is such a thing). The top shelves of my entire kitchen are filled with ice-cream-making paraphernalia. My editor has tasted some of my husband’s ice cream. She’s the one who said she wanted a story that included ice cream. Well, I thought, here it comes!
You have
some interesting characters in your new novel. Do you have a favorite
character? There’s
a kindergarten boy named Leo who dresses like a cowboy and has a knack for
turning up in the shop just as freshly churned ice cream is ready for sampling.
I love that little boy.
What do
you love most about writing novels in the contemporary romance genre? The relevance! While they’re fictitious, these stories also speak to
the problems occurring in everyone’s life. We all have hopes and dreams and
disappointments. It’s fun to let my characters be the one’s trying to find
answers.
