Interview with Emilie Richards author of Sunset Bridge

By Barb Drozdowich

Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel!

Today we are talking to Emilie Richards, the author of Sunset Bridge.  I posted a review several weeks ago for this book.  I quite enjoyed this book and thought it would be a nice idea to invite Emilie by the blog to get to know her and her work better!

Barb – How would your friends describe you in 20 words or less?

Emilie – Sympathetic, loyal to a fault, scattered, interested, single-minded.

Barb – How long have you been writing?
Emilie – Almost twenty-five years.

Barb – Describe your typical writing day.
Emilie – I spend my mornings on writing-related activities, like promotion, research, email and edits, and writing if I can.  I spend afternoons writing.  I’m at my computer no later than 9 and leave it about 5:30.

Barb – If someone else wrote a blub about your book, what would it say?
Emilie – Utterly riveting novel about women you’ll want to know. 🙂

Barb – What do you love about writing?
Emilie – I love living in my imagination, then trying to find the best way to tell my stories to others.

Barb – What’s the hardest part about writing a book?
Emilie – Living in my imagination and trying to find the best way to tell my stories.

Barb – Although Sunset Bridge is a book that is mainly about a group of women, who is your favorite male character?
Emilie – I love Marsh because he tries so hard to do the right thing but he’s never quite sure how to deal with his own emotions.

Barb – What were the challenges in bringing this book to life?
Emilie – Trying to find a place for each character and a way to tell their stories without going so far over my word limit my publisher decamped.

Barb – How can readers stay in touch?
Emilie – I have an active Facebook “fan” page–I call it my reader page.  They can also reach me through my website under Get In Touch.

Barb – Where is your work available?
Emilie – Everywhere, I hope.  Both print and e-format.

Barb – What is your next book and when can we expect it to be release?
Emilie – One Mountain Away debuts in August 2012 and inaugurates a new series: Goddesses Anonymous, set in Asheville, NC.

 

I’d like to thank Emilie for dropping by and sharing some information with us.  Her latest book, Sunset Bridge is available in bookstores now.

Former socialite Tracy Deloche has nothing to her name but five ramshackle beach cottages and the unlikely friendships she’s formed with her tenants. Wanda, wise waitress turned popular pie-shop owner. Janya, the young Indian wife whose arranged marriage surprises her every day. Alice, a widow raising her complex tween-age granddaughter. And Maggie, Wanda’s daughter, a former Miami cop with a love life as complicated as Tracy’s own.

The new man in Tracy’s life hasn’t mentioned love or commitment— and Tracy has just discovered she’s pregnant. Janya longs to be a mother—and suddenly has two young siblings in her care. Maggie helps out at Wanda’s Wonderful Pies…but is the kitchen big enough for both Gray women? And Alice may lose her beloved granddaughter to someone no one expected….

As a tropical storm brews, the wind carries surprises and secrets over the bridge to Happiness Key. Now, more than ever, five friends will discover just how much they need one another.
