Latte

Genre:
Chick-Lit Comedy
Deb
hadn’t flown in over 20 years. In 1989, at the age of 22, Deb was
enrolled at Griffiss Airforce Base to become a commercial pilot.
Somewhere between dating her yuppie fiancé and planning their
wedding in Chicago, Deb developed claustrophobia—a fear of enclosed
spaces. I blame the yuppie. Deb couldn’t get on a plane for love
that day, but she could do it 20 years later for money. Money was
worth dying for.
Rebecca
Henry is a newly published author. Her debut novel is The Lady Raven,
A Dark Cinderella Tale, which was published in 2017. The Lady Raven,
is for those who have an infinity for fairy tales retold with a link
to witches, magic and the macabre. Her second novel, Louisiana Latte,
a chick lit comedy was released February 28th 2019. Louisiana Latte,
is a feel good comedy that focuses on the bonds of sisters, and how
audacious life can be when you have a diva for one! Both books are
available on amazon as well as Barnes & Noble.
Rebecca
Henry is a world traveler living abroad in England. Besides being an
author of two published books, Rebecca is also a podcast talk host on
the show The Latte Talk. The podcast was inspired by her latest
novel, Louisiana Latte and her diva sister Deb. She is a serious
vegan, gardener, crafter, wife and mom who practices yoga. She loves
to laugh, her drug of choice and loves all things witchy with a hint
of the macabre. Her favorite holiday is Halloween and her favorite
movie of all time is Practical Magic.
GUEST POST
What inspired you to write the book?
Louisiana Latte was 100% inspired by my
diva sister, Deb and a business trip we took together to Louisiana.
I’ve always been fascinated by Deb’s audacious personality and
electric passion for life. It was never a question of if I would
write a book inspired by her character but when.
What do you think about the current
publishing market?
Being an author has drastically changed
within the last decade. There have been many new developments in the
publishing/author world. You have indie authors, ebooks, social
media, Amazon and the increasing lack of physical bookstores which
always sadness me. I spent my teens in the coffeeshop, backpack,
poetry area. The 90’s were all about, grabbing a poetry book,
heading to your favorite mom and pop bookshop, finding a comfy couch
and getting lost in a read. Now you do it all online. The internet
combined with Social media has really been the ink to my pen. It
promotes me in ways I couldn’t obtain without the exposure. I used
to think if I had a publisher I could sit back and let them do the
work. I was so wrong. Writing the book was the easy part, the
promotional side is where the blood, sweat and tears come in. I’m
constantly working on my promotion. I’m using social media like it
was a toothbrush. Vigorously cleaning, constantly polishing my sites
trying to gain more exposure so I can show the world my work; my
bright smile as I like to think of it. A decade ago your publisher
handled everything. The bookstores promoted you. Now, even with a
publisher you are your own best friend, and number one advocate. If
you don’t believe in yourself, if you don’t dedicate the time and
commitment to your work, you risk being lost in cyber space with your
book collecting dust.
