Interview and Giveaway: The Bride Wore Denim by Lizbeth Selvig

This morning Lizbeth Selvig dropped by to answer a few questions in celebration of the release of The Bride Wore Denim. Check it out!

(Manga Maniac Cafe) Describe yourself in five words or less.

(Lizbeth Selvig) Friendly, Empathetic, Superchatty, Extraverted, Loyal

(Manga Maniac Cafe) What’s one thing you won’t leave home without?

(Lizbeth Selvig) I never leave home without a notebook and at least five pens in my purse. I don’t know why the pens except that I’m kind of a pen/pencil slut—I love them. Plus, you never know when someone might need one! My notebook is my safety net for ideas or observations since I won’t remember things I think of without writing them down. It’s also right there if I’m somewhere boring and I find I have few minutes to write!

(Manga Maniac Cafe) Name three things on your desk right now.

(Lizbeth Selvig) An Einstein bobblehead doll. A 30-minute hourglass timer. The business card my son-in-law gave me for a potential contact at our local VA Hospital. I need to call her for research on my current book.

(Manga Maniac Cafe) What’s your favorite snack when you’re working on a deadline?

(Lizbeth Selvig) Graham crackers and milk. It’s been my go-to comfort snack since I was little! (I figured chocolate kind of went without saying.)

(Manga Maniac Cafe) If you could trade places with anyone for just one day, who would you be?

(Lizbeth Selvig) I would trade places with my dad. He’s 86 and suffers from dementia. He knows his family members and is aware of his surroundings, but he can’t speak except to answer yes or no, and he is losing control of many basic body functions. I’d like to know exactly what he’s thinking so I could communicate better with him and say the things that would make him know he’s still loved and respected. The things that would make his last years truly happy.

(Manga Maniac Cafe) You have been granted the use of one superpower for one week. Which power would you choose, and what would you do with it?

(Lizbeth Selvig) I have always wanted the power to teleport invisibly. I would use it to 1) get my life totally back on track schedule-wise by adding hours to my weeks by not having to waste time driving, and 2) spy on all the parties during important summit meetings and feed crucial information to the appropriate people—thus potentially saving the world. LOL.

(Manga Maniac Cafe) What are some books that you enjoyed recently?

(Lizbeth Selvig) I have become a huge fan of audio books! I drive a fair amount and I help out two mornings a week in my daughter’s barn so I have lots of time to listen. I try to “read” the mainstream (non-romance) books I know I’ll never have time to pick up. My last few have been very interesting. “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr just won a Pulitzer prize and it’s a wonderful, slightly different take on WWII. “Anansi Boys” by Neil Gaiman is one of my favorites by him so far. “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd was super eye-opening, especially in light of the racial issues we’ve been seeing in the news lately. And “The Shell Collector” by Hugh Howey was fascinating—a sci fi/futuristic setting with a plot that read like a romance. Really a fun read!

The Bride Wore Denim
Seven Brides for Seven Cowboys # 1

By: Lizbeth Selvig

Releasing July 21, 2015

Avon Impulse

Blurb

When Harper Lee Crockett returns home to Paradise Ranch, Wyoming, the last thing she expects is to fall head-over-heels in lust for Cole, childhood neighbor and her older sister’s long-time boyfriend. The spirited and artistic Crockett sister has finally learned to resist her craziest impulses, but this latest trip home and Cole’s rough-and-tough appeal might be too much for her fading self-control.

Cole Wainwright has long been fascinated by the sister who’s always stood out from the crowd. His relationship with Amelia, the eldest Crockett sister, isn’t as perfect as it seems, and with Harper back in town, he sees everything he’s been missing. Cole knows they have no future together—he’s tied to the land and she’s created a successful life in the big city—but neither of them can escape their growing attraction or inconvenient feelings.

As Harper struggles to come to grips with new family responsibilities and her forbidden feelings for Cole, she must decide whether to listen to her head or to give her heart what it wants.
