Interview with Faith Sullivan

Today I have the pleasure to host on my blog Faith Sullivan, author of the Heartbeat series and the Take Me Now series. If you haven't checked her books yet, please visit her Goodreads page, here, to find out more about the author and her past and future works! Scroll down to have a chance to win Kindle copies of both Heartbeat and Come What May!

1.Can you tell me a little about yourself and how you got into writing?

I've worked in the publishing industry in some capacity for nearly fifteen years. At the beginning of 2013, I decided to publish my first novel and dive into the deep end.

2.What would you say the hardest part of writing this book was?

Living up to readers' expectations for a sequel. I did not want to disappoint them.

3.What character or part of the story did you become attached to the most while writing and why?

Adam's my guy. He's such a complicated mixture of emotions. He's surly, yet sweet. He's frustrating, yet vulnerable. He's confused, yet loyal. Bottom line? He's fun to write.

4.Is this book part of a series?

Yes, it is a part of my HEARTBEAT series. The first book is HEARTBEAT. The second book is COME WHAT MAY. Both are available now. The third and final book is I AM YOURS, coming October 2013.

5.If you could work with any author who would it be?

There are so many but I'd love to work with Stephanie Parent (love her style), Meradeth Houston (love her heart), Ashelyn Drake (love her voice) and Victoria H. Smith (love her swoons).

6. If you would shipwreck on a desert island, and you could have the possibility to keep just two books of your pile, which books would you keep?

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE and THE BIBLE.

7. Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published.

Receiving an email from a reader who went through a similar experience on 9-11 that Michelle did in UNEXPECTED. If I do nothing else in my life, knowing that I connected with one person like that is all I ask.

8.What’s the best advice anyone has ever given you?

Being a creative person is hard (financially, emotionally, etc.), but following that path is the only way to feel alive.

Heartbeat

Goodreads || Amazon

Katie and Adam are afraid of love.

She carries the scars of a first kiss gone terribly wrong.

He uproots his life to flee the stinging betrayal of an ex.

When trust is no longer an option, all romance is suspect.

As a young paramedic, Adam rescues people for a living but cannot save himself. Katie, just out of high school, struggles with a tortured home life she cannot escape. 

Everything changes when Katie hops into the front seat of Adam's ambulance. Overwhelmed by what they are feeling, neither possess the confidence to make the first move. They walk away from each other, full of regret. 

To find her, Adam risks his future. To be with him, Katie sacrifices her security. 

Little do they know, what little time they do have, is being measured by a heartbeat that is slowly dying out.

Come What May

Goodreads || Amazon

Adam is through with love.

He unravels blaming himself for what happened with Katie.

His final moments with her echo through his nightmares.

She owns him body and soul.

To dull the pain, Adam invites a string of women into his bed. Fueled by alcohol and desperation, his meaningless hook-ups provide little comfort. When he closes his eyes, it's Katie he sees.

The only one who helps to ease his guilt somewhat is Jada. But as his new ambulance partner, Adam considers her off limits. He doesn't want to get seriously involved with anyone, much less her. Yet he can't stop fantasizing about the feel of her caramel skin against his.

Despite his intentions, Adam's bond with Jada deepens as they respond to a series of emotional calls. Their mutual attraction becomes undeniable. But how can he give his heart to Jada when it still belongs to Katie?
