The heroine is my latest book - MAD, BAD AND BLONDE - is a children's librarian who has been jilted at the altar.  She takes off on her honeymoon alone but doesn't stay that way for long.  I love writing about good girl heroines battling with bad boy heroes. Library Journal has described my books as both "hilarious and heartwarming."

 

MAD, BAD AND BLONDE is set in my hometown of Chicago.  I had fun with the rivalry of Cubs baseball fans vs White Sox fans.  Faith and Caine cross paths in several Chicago sites like the Palmer House hotel or Navy Pier.  One of my favorite scenes includes the "Geek Meet" scene where Caine (who is a former Force Recon Marine) goes undercover as a geek.  After that scene Caine and Faith stop at the drive thru for White Castle sliders. And of course there is deep dish Chicago style pizza.

 

So what is the fave food in your part of the country?  And do you prefer reading about the big city or small towns or both?
