Lovestruck Two Step-Release Party


Since Lovestruck Two Step is all about a making dive bar a local favorite, I asked my production team to describe their favorite hangout.

Harris Channing-Cover design
Not only has Harris designed all of the covers for The Rhythm & Romance series and Hot Flash, she is also an author. And she did a cool job with Ever After, one of Susan Winters’ titles.

What's my favorite hangout?  I am a homebody.  My favorite part of the day is when everyone is home safe and sound and we're just hanging out.  I love watching movies with my daughters. Sitting next to hubby and catching up with how his day went.  Home is my favorite hangout. May seem boring but since I spend most of my time here, wouldn't it suck if I didn't just love it?

Marian Kelly-Editing
Marian could truly be called a “Writer’s Editor” and she's worked with me on all four Rhythm &
Romance titles. She also writes Regency romance as Colleen Ladd.

My favorite hangout is a tiny restaurant called The Wandering Moose. The owners happen to be friends of mine, but they treat everyone who walks through the door like friends. The food is great, and if you hang out there long enough, chances are, any friend you haven't seen for a little while but are thinking of checking in with will walk through the door. It's a cozy, friendly space, and when the chill of winter moves in, you're guaranteed to find a fire licking away at logs in the large hearth, giving the room a warm, cheery glow. A lovely place to spend a winter afternoon.


Stevie DeInk-Formatting
In addition to formatting, Steve also does cover design.  A copy of one of her covers is featured.

 My favorite hangout isn't anything too exciting. Just sitting inside while it's storming, raining or snowing, listening to it beat on the windows. I could be reading a book or watching something or playing a game, and the ambient noises of the storm make me feel secluded and safe.




Mariposa Cruz-Author
Two places are favorites of mine (that’s not cheating because they’re neighbors) Lead Dog Brewing/Nevada Sunset Winery.  Actually three Nevada wineries call the 4th Street location home, they share the heavy equipment and the tasting room. Both the brewery and the winery have a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for hanging out with friends or sampling a flight with that special someone.

What inspired you to become a writer?   From an early age, I loved curling up with a book and losing myself in the stories. In high school, I looked forward to English class and dreamed of writing the great Canadian novel. Instead, I followed the conventional advice of the times and pursued a career in teaching. But, in my heart of hearts, I knew that someday I would resurrect that writing dream. When I took advantage of early retirement in 2008, I decided to devote my second act to writing. Who are your favorite romance characters (besides your own)?   My favorite authors include Ann Patchett, Ann Lamott, Jane Green, Maeve Binchy, Gail Bowen, Louise Penny, and Adriana Trigiani. The protagonists in these novels are older and wiser, having encountered many bumps on the road to romantic love and personal fulfillment. One of my favorite quotes comes from Maeve Binchy : “I don't have ugly ducklings turning into swans in my stories. I have ugly ducklings turning into c...

"All good things come to an end. It's been fun for everyone. Peace and hope are never gone. Love you all and say 'So long'." Verse from The End Bear's packaging When I received the email notice from Google stating that they were going to stop supporting certain blogging apps, I decided it might be a good time to reconsider my social media set-up. I write romance as Mariposa Cruz and women's fiction as Susan Winters with separate Facebook pages and blogs for each identity. While I have thoroughly enjoyed having two separate blogs with changing times it makes sense to consolidate to one blog while exploring other platforms.   Mariposa’s Musings started in 2009 a few months prior to the release of my first romance title, Howl. BTW I hope to re-release Howl later this year. Stay tuned. Ten years, seven titles and 214 posts later here we are. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the guests, authors, followers and casual passersb...
