Hi Jessica,
Thank you for reading all of my books! And yes, Rachel's story is next on my to-do list! I'm working on the second book in my new Heartbreaker series right now, but as soon as that's turned in this summer, I'll start on Rachel's book. I'll contact you privately to get your email addy so I can send you an advanced copy.

Trying to pick one couple as a favorite isn't an easy task. But, as I thought about this, one couple kept popping into my head.
J.D. Robb's (Nora Roberts) Eve and Rourke. They both had terrible childhoods. One embraced the law while the other broke laws for the sport of it, but in the end, they found each other and ultimately the happiness that had been void in their lives. They work as a true team, pondering crime from their unique viewpoints, and in the end, they always prevail and put the bad guys behind bars. Their journey to have a "normal" marriage between two people with such abnormal backgrounds leads to inherent conflict that I truly enjoy. That, and the way they respect each other for who they are.

Hi Jenni,
First, thank you so much for writing. It's always a joy to hear from readers. And I am looking for beta readers to send advance copies to when they become available a month or so before the book. It's always nice to have early reviews. I'd love to send you an ARC. I happen to be on my way to Europe today and will be out of pocket for a few weeks, but if you'd be so kind to send me you email and physical addy at tamra@tamrabaumann.com I'll add you to the list when I return. ;0)

Follow the writing rules for your genre… at first anyway. And join a writer’s group like RWA. My Romance Writers of America friends are the kindest, most helpful people I know.
I wrote a blog on this when I was lucky enough to announce my call story. If you have a few minutes, and you’d be interested in my long journey to publication, then here’s the link:

The best thing about being a writer is having the opportunity to temporarily live the lives of characters who are much braver, funnier, and more heroic than I will ever be.

I love reading books set in small towns. I’m a huge fan of Jill Shalvis, Kristan Higgins, Brenda Novack, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips who have written some of my favorites.
My parents both grew up in tiny farming towns in the Midwest, and the way everyone was all up in everyone else’s business fascinated and entertained me. Being a nomadic military brat growing up, the concept of knowing neighbors for a lifetime really intrigued me. (The moving so much is also probably why I have spent my entire adulthood in the same medium sized town.) And what little town doesn’t have their local ‘over the top’ characters that are such fun to write?
