Beth Michele is a wife, a mom, an author, and a lover of all things chocolate, well, anything sweet really. While stuffing chocolate in her face, she enjoys reading young adult and new adult novels furiously, and spending time with her husband and two adorable children who keep her on her peppermint pink painted toes. Those same children who inspire her to tell silly stories that cause hysterical giggles to tumble from their
bellies.
Beth loves to laugh and loves to have a good cry, especially after reading a novel that stretches her soul, one that makes her feel, and lingers in the corner of her beating
heart.
Beth began writing when she was in middle school, penning anything from short stories, to poetry, and then later moved on to write children’s books. Her
debut novel, Love Love is due out May 8, 2013.

Sweat is clinging to my palms, my pulse visibly racing through my heated skin. I’m having a hard time controlling my breathing as the elevator ascends to the twenty seventh floor. So much for the time I spent in yoga class. I wring my hands out repeatedly and slowly count to ten. When I finally get to ten the elevator pings. Steadying my wobbly legs and wiping the moisture trickling down my forehead, I head down the hall to apartment 27-F, attempting one last deep, calming breath before I ring the doorbell. In less
than a second, I see Dane standing there and freeze. I’ve obviously never walked through a door before, because when he opens it, the feet that I so often rely on have no idea what to do. I look down at my awkwardness telepathically expecting a response, and wait. Still nothing, so I look up. My eyes sweep the length of his body. The natural inclination would be to stare into his green emeralds, but it’s impossible not to move lower, a lot lower. I can almost trace a line through the bunched cream fabric of his pants. Is it even real? It should be illegal to walk around with that thing. Dane’s lips
part, forming a perfect o, for orgasm, I believe. The one I’m about to have all over his brand new hardwood floors.
His lips curve up in a mouth watering smile. “See anything you
like?”
My blue eyes manage to crawl back up to his. “Nah, not really.”
His lips twitch, while the green in his eyes sparkle. “So, shall we
sit?”
That’s not exactly what I had in mind.
Interview
We are so exited to have the opportunity of interviewing the lovely Beth. Thank you for joining us
Thank you for having me! I'm very excited to be here!
What/who inspired you to start writing?
I've been writing for a long time. It's just something I've always loved to do, but I would definitely say that my husband and my children have inspired me. My husband is a
writer also, and he helped me to see that while I didn't consider myself "a writer," I actually was one. My children have inspired me since the day they were born to tell stories, and finally one day I started writing them down. There's nothing better than hearing them giggle and seeing them smile.
What is your favourite part of a book?
Hmmm....there are many, but I think for me, it's the moment the angst or whatever is holding the characters back from coming together, finally dissintegrates. I'm also a huge fan of happily ever afters, and I love playful, flirty banter.
When naming your charcters, do you give any thought to the actual meaning?
That's an interesting question. I don't necessarily think about meaning, just try to come up with cool and different names.
Would you ever write a different genre?
I don't want to say never, but I absolutely LOVE romance, so I will definitely be writing these books for a long time to come! However, I've written some children's books I will be publishing in the not too distant future as well.
What advice would you give inspiring writers? Same advice as Nike gives...JUST DO IT! If you want to write, sit down and write. When inspiration hits, write...Something pops in your head...write...and don't stop! Don't let anyone sway you from your passion.
What made you come up with your book titles? I was trying to come up with something different, and given the nature of my story, Love Love fit. It's also a play on words, which I like.
Who is your favourite character from your books and why? Brad is my favorite character. Why? Because he's quirky, and funny, and real...at least in my head he is...LOL
If you could work with any fellow author who would it be and why? This is a tough question, because there are so many who inspire me. If I HAD to pick one, I would say Colleen Hoover because I think she is simply brilliant.
Who are your top five authors/books
I'm bucking the system and putting eight! :)
Colleen Hoover -- Hopeless/Slammed
J.A. Redmerski -- The Edge of Never
Wait For You -- J. Lynn
Jessica Park -- Flat Out Love
Cheryl McIntyre -- Sometimes Never
Tammara Webber -- Easy
Jamie McGuire -- Beautiful Disaster
Abbi Glines -- Fallen Too Far
Thank you for taking part.
