*Book Tour & Giveaway* The Woman America Loves A Latte by Holly Tierney-Bedord-GUEST POST


The Woman America Loves a Latte
by Holly Tierney-Bedord
Genre: Women's Fiction 

From the best-selling author of Sweet Hollow Women comes a quirky new thriller for fans of Megan Abbott, Liane Moriarty, and Carl Hiaasen.


Veloura has never stood a chance. Raised by a junkie and orphaned as a teen, she's settled for a life of low expectations. She spends her days sprucing up the shack of a has-been bull rider and washing hair down at the local salon. But when it turns out her fiancé doesn't have her best interests at heart, she's forced to come up with a new plan for herself.

An opportunity to be the spokesperson for a coffee chain means a bright future could be hers, if only she can stay ahead of her dark past.





Holly Tierney-Bedord is the author of several novels and novellas including Sweet Hollow Women, The Woman America Loves a Latte, The Port Elspeth Jewelry Making Club, and Surviving Valencia. She's also an artist and miniaturist, creator of the mid-century dollhouse restoration blog flipthisminihouse.com, and the author of several non-fiction books about creating miniatures. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin.



GUEST POST
How did you come up with the title of your first novel?

The first novel I published is called Coached. Author Jacquelyn Mitchard was kind enough to read an early version of that book and she suggested the title. I was originally going to call it Lessons from Coach Class.

Who designed your book covers?

I design my own covers. In most cases, I license the cover photo though.


Anything specific you want to tell your readers?

Thank you. I always dreamed of being an author, so to everyone who buys my books, reads them, reviews them, and supports me: THANK YOU!



Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?

My characters have complete control over the story and never cease to surprise me.



If your book had a candle, what scent would it be?

Coffee bean, naturally 😊



Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?

I like to write in complete silence. However, sometimes I’ll listen to certain songs that evoke the right mood for a scene. In The Woman America Loves a Latte, since there are so many references to the 1980s and 1990s and to music from those decades, I found myself listening to lots of music. I can’t write with background noise or conversations taking place, though. That’s why I usually write at home instead of at coffee shops.


Do you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?

I usually have many going at a time. I’ve accepted I have more books started than I’ll ever finish!


If you could have been the author of any book ever written, which book would you choose?

I remember feeling that way the first time I read The Bell Jar and The Handmaid’s Tale. Probably lots of other books as well.


Pen or type writer or computer?

Computer.
