Barb – Tell us about your new release

Debora – The Kandy Shoppe is an erotic novella set in an old fashioned ice cream parlor making it a lot of fun to write! I got the idea for these characters one hot summer day standing in front of the ice cream freezers at my local grocery store. Sometimes it’s funny where inspiration will hit!

Barb –  What’s the official blurb for your book?

Debora – Kandace Parker wants nothing more than to have a thriving ice cream parlor, but her run down equipment isn’t cooperating. Watching her profits melt away each time her freezer breaks is only half her problem – the other half is her sexy repairman, Jason Chapman.

Jason is man enough to admit he’s made some mistakes in his personal life; the biggest one was pushing Kandy away years ago. He knows the Ice Cream Queen won’t willingly give him a second chance, so he devises a plan to keep him front and center in her life with the hopes of wearing her down.

How far will Jason go to get his second chance? How far will Kandy go to keep her freezer running? When desires collide in The Kandy Shoppe, they will have to decide if decadent sex is enough or if love can be the best dessert.

Barb –  Tell me a little about yourself.

Debora – Hmmm, let’s see. For the most part I’m just your average wife and mother of three. I adore my two cats and talk to them all the time. Most days I’m pretty glad they can’t talk back. Then I sit down at my computer, armed with coffee and chocolate (lots of both!) and I lose myself in the fantasy world in my head. Yes, I hear voices (but I probably shouldn’t admit that, right?)

Barb –  Have you always wanted to be a writer?

Debora – Yes and no. I’ve always heard the characters and their stories in my head and always wanted to write and get them out. However, I did go through a stage in high school when I wanted to be an archeologist, a dream quickly squashed by a neighbor when she informed me I needed to learn several foreign languages. I went to college for accounting instead. (No, that didn’t work out either.)

Barb –  What’s the hardest part of writing a book?

Debora – The hardest part for me is staying focused on one project at a time! I keep a notebook close by to jot down the inspirations for other stories close by for just that reason. Of course, my family blames the caffeine for my lack of attention, but what do they know?

Barb –  What’s your favorite part of writing a book?

Debora – The characters and their world! I love spending time with my hero and heroine and watching their lives and their problems unfold in my head.

Barb –  What are your favorite books and author?

Debora – To be honest, my favorite books and authors change over time. I’ve always loved the sweeping historical romances of Bertrice Small. Right now I’ve also been enjoying the more lighthearted stories of Sandra Hill.

Barb –  What book is currently on your nightstand?

Debora – Funny, but it’s not a romance at all. I’m currently reading the fascinating memoir of Keith Richards. His book “Life” reads like fiction at times and with each chapter I am more and more amazed the man is still alive to tell his tales.

Barb –  What project’s are you currently working on right now? Would you mind sharing them with us?

Debora – I have a time travel novella that will available soon. “A Knight in Her Arms” is in final revisions right now and my gorgeous cover will be posted on my website soon! I’m currently writing another paranormal romance set in a 1950’s style diner that involves a couple of matchmaking ghosts.

Barb –  How can readers stay in touch?

Debora – Being that I am addicted to social media these days, I love to chat with my readers at all the usual places like facebook,  Twitter ,  Goodreads and of course, my personal blog

Barb – Where is your work available?

Debora – You can find my books for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance Ebooks and almost every place else that ebooks are available for sale!

One sexy repairman, a little melting ice cream, and a lot of red-hot desire just might give dessert a whole new meaning.

About Debora Dennis:

Hooked on all things romantic for as long as she can remember, Debora Dennis has never stopped believing in the fairy tale dream of a Happily Ever After. Since picking up her first Barbara Cartland novel from the middle school library so many years ago, she’s rarely been without a romance, either in her bag or on her nightstand (and now on her Nook!)

A firm believer in happy endings, she writes romance sprinkled with spice and adventure.

Debora and her own hero live in New York and spend their days raising their three kids along with Godzilla the lizard and two spoiled cats named Oreo and Rocky. She can usually be found at her computer early in the morning and late at night with a mug of coffee and a bag of Lindt chocolate truffles keeping her sane.
