There's a December 22nd Goodreads giveaway, for which the blurb reads: "This is my latest book and probably the sassiest! One Night...With her Boss." Meant to be your book, I think. HOWEVER, the cover and title shown, plus a link, are for Dearest Enemy, a 60's-era Harlequin by Kathryn Blair. Did Harlequin send incorrect image & info for a giveaway meant for your book? Thought I'd let you know.
Annie O'Neil Hi there - I did happen to know about this and tried a couple of times through the nice folk at goodreads to change it - but the system wasn't having it! Thanks for the eagle eye, though. I wish I had written Dearest Enemy - it sounds great!

What's your favorite color?
Annie O'Neil Green - without a doubt. Not primary green - but just about any other shade. Except for neon. Not that I'm fussy. (Read: I'm fussy). Runner up colour is scarlet.

How do you get inspired to write?
Annie O'Neil Seriously? Just go sit in a coffee shop and I can make up a few stories. It drives my husband bonkers - but my imagination fuels everything. It has no 'off' button.

What are you currently working on?
Annie O'Neil It's a Medical Romance for Mills & Boon/ Harlequin Romance which has a working title of The Doctor or the Duchess...am definitely a bit in love with the hero and LOVE the heroine's opening scene with him.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Annie O'Neil Just go for it. What's the worst that could happen? If you don't do it - you will never know - and I tend to try and look at things from the (not so cheery) Final Regrets section of life and think - do I want to look back and know I didn't even try? Do it. Write.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Annie O'Neil Diving into a world you've created and absolutely believing it. I wrote about a cafe & bakery in a recent book and I'm STILL cross it doesn't really exist!
flag
How do you deal with writer’s block?
Annie O'Neil Depends upon my mood - so usually I have to create a mood to get me to sit down (that's my biggest problem). The stories are always swirling around my head - but it takes a good fire, a huge mug of coffee and rainy day to really nail me to the chair.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Annie O'Neil From my imagination and love of a snow-capped mountain and a delicious bakery.
