BIO:
Edie Hart was born in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, where she now
resides with her husband, two children, dog, and three cats. After
spending her childhood making up stories in her head, she finally
decided to put them on paper. What came of it was her first novella, One
Bad Day. Edie is a die-hard romantic and believes that everyone
deserves to be loved unconditionally—both in print and real life.
Edie
also admits that "Edie Hart" is a pen name and an alter ego to an
otherwise boring wife and mother. Edie is 20 pounds lighter, loves to
skydive, travels to foreign places, and is a total sex kitten as
compared to the uninteresting other half who is none of those things.
In
reality the counterpart of Edie is a lackluster 40-something-year-old,
whose main goal is to keep The Big One (The Boy) from torturing The
Little One (The Girl). This week he hit her in the head with a 12-pack
of Juicy Juice. Last week he left ravioli handprints on the back of her
white T-shirt. The week before that he told her she was adopted and she
believed him.
To learn more about her, and find out
what The Big One and The Little One are up to, visit her via her
website, Facebook, or Twitter.
Q: What part of the book is the easiest for you to write? Why?
A: For me each book is different. Some just come to me easily and some don’t. Usually if I’m having a hard time with a book (other than the love scenes) it’s for another reason…once I’ve worked it out – the writing becomes easy again.
Q: What part of the book is the hardest for you? Why?
A: The hardest part for me is the love scenes. I love writing them but for me writing the details can be difficult.
Q: Who is your favorite character in your book and why?
A: It always seems to be the character I’m writing at the time. I think I fall a little in love with them when I write them.
Q: If one of your books became a movie, which celebrity would you like to star as one of your heroes? Tell us about your hero.
A: I would want Gerard Butler. I love him. I love his accent. In my book One Bad Day, my hero doesn’t have an accent, but that’s okay.
Gray is a police officer. He’s a big guy, a little gruff, but deep down he has a soft side. He plays by the rules and always does the right thing.
Q: Do all your heroes and all heroines look the same in your mind as you “head write”?
A: No. They all look different. Some are blonde, and short, some are blonde and tall. In my mind they are real people with real personalities and they all look different.
Q: Do you eat comfort food when writing? If so, what food inspires your imagination?
A: I love Frozen Yogurt Moose Tracks. It doesn’t matter if I’m writing or not, it’s my ultimate favorite food. In general I’m not inspired by food. I get inspired by people/personalities, places or actual events. My mind is always whispering “what if…?”
Q: Facebook, MySpace, Blogs, Chats, or Twitter. Which do you like best and why?
A: I like facebook. I feel like it allows me to interact with people and it’s a very “now” type of communication.
Tell us where to find you: website(s), publisher’s page(s), blog(s), Facebook page(s), etc. List them all!

BLURB:
Tessa is having one seriously bad day. After agreeing to dress as a cheesy mascot at a convention for her boss, her clothes get stolen, she gets chased through a sinister parking garage, and her apartment gets broken into and turned upside down.
Gray, an off-duty police officer, can’t resist the sexy legs he sees in costume at a hotel convention. When he catches sight of her running for her life through a dark car lot, he's determined to find out what her story is and ends up promising to keep Tessa safe...even if that means taking her home with him.
EXCERPT:
Gray stepped outside of the hotel ballroom hoping the air would be cooler out there. He hated stuffy gatherings. Hell, he hated weddings. How two people could think they'd love each other forever was beyond him. Gray didn't do love. Which was why he was stag at a co-worker's wedding. He'd originally planned to invite Monique, but several months back she'd become demanding and talked about moving into his place with hearts and flowers in her eyes. So he'd ended it. Deep down, he'd known that she didn't really want him. She wanted any warm body that would take care of her. She had slowly been trying to mold him into some GQ tycoon, telling him what to wear, how to act, and even going as far as telling him what he needed to do career-wise.
A loud crash on the other side of the hall caught Gray's attention. In the open ballroom across the way he saw legs. Glorious legs in strappy high heels. The beautiful legs were tangled on the floor and attached to an ass that was just as gorgeous. After taking a closer look, Gray realized that above the amazing ass was an enormous, white light bulb-shaped head with blue googly eyes. It had blonde hair and wore a glittery purple hat. The tangled-up legs and heels were flailing around in a pile of what looked like empty light bulb boxes. Several gentlemen nearby were quick to help Legs get her feet beneath her. From their smiles and laughter he could tell that they were all quite happy to be of assistance. Gray didn't blame them.
He watched Legs find her balance in those high heels, and with a little wiggle and tug of her skirt she went on her way.

I love your bio. Reflects your humor, as does the excerpt. Loved that too. Congratulations on your debut novel. It really sounds good. I'll go over to Amazon now.
Just downloaded your book to my Kindle.
I will fight you for Gerard! Arm wrestle?
I love what you say about the kids (big one and little one). Mine are good friends but also bitter enemies at times. At least they defend each other when someone outside the family bothers them!
All the best. I love your cover!
Congrats on your release. I admit it's difficult to write love scenes, but it does get easier.
