Chumming with Sharky™: Tess Thompson

Posted: February 14, 2016 in Booktrope, Chumming with Sharky, Holidays, Interviews, Romance, Valentine's Day

Welcome to Chumming with Sharky™, my blog series where I treat viewers from every corner of the deep blue sea with a taste of talented authors from a myriad of genres. Today is 💘Valentine’s Day💘, and have I got a treat for you. It took a lot of chocolate and Starbucks coffee to bring you today’s guest (and that was just getting through all of the gatekeepers), but I was able to land Barnes & Noble and Amazon bestselling author Tess Thompson at the last minute, just in time for the romantic holiday. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. I actually sent her a nice message via Facebook and she agreed to be this month’s guest.

One cool thing about this particular interview is that we conducted it in real-time. I’ve never done that before. So, what you read today is pretty much raw and unedited. Plus, Tess told me a secret that she hasn’t told anyone yet. So, you’re getting something special today. 🙂 Anyhoo, grab a complimentary glass of wine and box of chocolates from Anchor’s Bar and enjoy the show.

Book Review: The Last Dance by Wyatt McIntyre

Posted: February 25, 2015 in Book Reviews, Fiction, Reviews, Romance

The Last Dance CoverI don’t normally read romance, but Wyatt McIntyre pleasantly surprised me with his novel The Last Dance. His unique style of starting at the end and telling this love story in a way that does not follow a linear path at first left me disconnected. However, it didn’t take long to get adjusted to his style. McIntyre does a wonderful job of weaving the story together while going back and forth between different times of James’ and Alejandra’s lives. The writing is poetic and I found myself really caring about these characters and learning what brought them together (and what nearly tore them apart). Good read.

Wyatt McIntyre visited my cozy little corner in cyberspace for a special Valentine’s Day edition of Chumming with Sharky™ on February 14, 2015.

About the Author

Wyatt McIntyre

Born in Valleyview, a small Northern Alberta town, the middle of three boys, and now living in Illinois, Wyatt has sometimes been referred to a cowboy poet, rarely seen without a hat, staying true to his roots, he was taught, from the youngest of ages the virtue of hard work, diligence and faith through life’s toughest of adversities. As an an author he has an overriding passion: to tell a story worth telling, and write in a way off the page with meaning and significance to the reader, using his experience to help them look at things in a different way. Over the past decade Wyatt has been honing his writing, striving with each short story, with each new project to meet that challenge head on.
