Author Interview
Thank you for having me.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
Of course, I grew with an intoxicating desire for books, as most authors do. Not only did I live through reading the stories, but in penning my own. I was close to ten when I started work on my first book. Of course, back then it was just a bunch of lined paper folded in half, but it meant so much to me to sit in that open pavilion on a wooden picnic table, a pencil in one hand, an eraser in the other, my imagination on fire. But, sadly, it fizzled away until I was in my early twenties, when I finally sat down once more, this time with a notebook and pen, never to let that fire be doused again.
Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
Perfect Stranger is a story of two troubled souls, who after just one volatile meeting change each other’s lives. Pam Mason, tortured by the death of her husband, had forgotten how to live. With the help of her best friend, Pam is set on a ‘New Year, New You’ path that leads her to Doctor Thorpe’s couch and his lack of compassion. Michael Thorpe, traumatized from being dragged through the mud by his ex, was about to lose his standing in the medical field until Pam Mason tears him a new one. With forces beyond their control at work, the two find their way through their pasts to a future that promises beautiful memories.
How did you come up with the storyline?
In all honesty, it started as a RomCom, with three blind dates and was meant to revolve around those dates with Doctor Thorpe being the final one.
Enter ‘Knight in Shining Armor’. Perfect, right?
Nope, because Pam was not on board with her terrible dates being aired out to the public, and Michael Thorpe was not playing nice. So, my plans had to change because both had issues they needed to work through and refused to follow with my comedic approach.
What inspires you to write?
This question always befuddles me because I don’t actually need to be inspired to write. I just do it. Daily. You know when you have something running through your head over and over and over, that you just have to get it out? That’s how writing is for me. Everyday my mind is going, and in all that noise of work, life, bills, and stress, voices come through. Voices that refuse to quiet, stories that demand my attention, unwilling to budge until I put those words to keys.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I absolutely love Dark Fantasy and Romantic Suspense, give me some good Horror, Psychological or otherwise, and I am popcorn deep, my toes hidden under a blanket from the ghosties.
What would you say is the one thing you are most passionate about outside of writing?
Easy one, my babies and grandbabies. Just those darn smiles from any of them is enough to melt my heart and turn me to goo.
When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
Bahaha. What? You mean there’s time to do anything other than work and write? I seriously need to watch a webinar on this one.
Tell us about your other books.
Well, I have nine other pieces and considering I love to cross genre and genre hop, they are a mix. I have one short story collection which is more macabre, titled ‘From the Depths’. A novelette, ‘Hypno-Planticus’ of Sci/Fi origin, another Sci/Fi mixed with Fantasy is my novella, ‘Holiday Resistance’. My Romantic Suspense endeavor is a five-book series, Pale Bay Treasures. And to finish, a Dark Fantasy three-book series I am currently working on. The first installment, Fame Nor Fortune is live, it’s sequel Dead Nor Alive is currently underway.
Where can readers find you?
Plenty of places actually, which I’ll list below, but a google search of my penname, Roxy Matthews, will find plenty of resources throughout my career.

Lattes & Loneliness by Billie Dale ~Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology Author Spotlight Interview @author_bdale #RomanticComedy #sweetsinfulromance
Blurb:
When you're single, the best part about Valentine’s Day is the day after when eating your sorrows away with chocolate is half-priced.
I’m the poster child for dating disasters. Still reeling from my latest fall into the bucket of the dump-me truck, a propositioning, surly barista spurs my bizarre imagination into overdrive.
Am I so extra my best chance for love is a relationship formed from a wrong number text or a vulgar offer from an apron-wearing hothead?
Sexy Rhodes Milam is more than my nemesis and keeper of my caffeine. He’s also the man I’m trapped in an elevator with on the one day for lovers.

Author Interview
Thank you! It’s great to be here!
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I’ve played around with it for awhile but really got into it in January 2017. I’d been blogging for five years and really had a few characters who kept yelling for their story to be heard.
Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
It’s a flirty fun instalove. First type of fall head over heels, falls within seconds story I’ve written. It’s about a woman who sees life in a very different way. She’s unique, quirky and hates being alone on Valentine’s Day.
How did you come up with the storyline?
It was inspired by the TV show Ally McBeal. I adore Ally’s character and if you’ve seen the show then you will definitely be able to see how Lex views the world.
What inspires you to write?
Everyday life, shows I watch, books I read. Nothing is off limits
What is your favorite genre to read?
All fiction. I love everything.
What would you say is the one thing are you most passionate about outside of writing?
My husband, kids and grandkids.
When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
Read!
Tell us about your other books.
I jump all over the place and can’t seem to stick with one genre. I write what comes to me. Paranormal is my favorite but I really loved working Ravyn. Dealing with the twisted mind was a real trip.

Author Interview
Thank you for having me.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I published my first book in 2013. I’d been having a dream for about a year and came home one day after work and decided to write it down on a Word document. I kept adding to it and showed it to a Blogger friend. She told me to keep writing. She wanted to know what was going to happen next. So, I did. That became my first book! While I was writing, an idea came to me for the next book in the series. I published the second book that same year.
Tell us about your title featured in: Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology.
Dancing with the Enemy. The song that inspired my story is Dancing with a Stranger, but I couldn’t use that due to it being the songs title. As the story progressed, Dancing with the Enemy became more suited.
How did you come up with the storyline?
As I said earlier, I’d been hearing Dancing with a Stranger on the radio a lot. Visions became more and more clear as I wrote the story. Mysterious. Intriguing. The song really helped guide me.
What inspires you to write?
Pictures. A song. It’s really odd sometimes when an idea will hit me. Once, I was brushing my teeth, listening to the radio. A song came on and a story idea came right away.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense, and Romantic Comedy. I guess that’s why I love to write those genres.
What would you say is the one thing are you most passionate about outside of writing?
My family. My husband and my two sons. Oh! And, our 3 dogs. Also, we have friends in a band, and I LOVE to dance! We go see them almost every month, when we can. I am very passionate about dancing.
When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
Dancing with my husband and hanging out with our friends. Spending time with our boys, as much as I can. Our youngest son moved out over a year ago so I don’t get to see him as often. Our oldest son just got a new job where he works nights so our time with him has become more limited as well.
Tell us about your other books.
Well, I have 26 books published. Country Romance, Romance, Romance Suspense and Romantic Comedy. Four series and a few standalones.
