Beyond
Paradise
The
Paradise Series Book 1
Jonny
Vallone, the dark, brooding owner of Manhattan nightclub, Beyond
Paradise, doesn’t need any more complications in his life, or
women. Then savvy con artist Cheryl Benson, barges into his office
and spits out a confession that would make most men run for
cover.
Cheryl’s
fast-paced, out-of-control life is closing in, and her only hope
against a ruthless crime boss is bad boy Jonny and his powerful
connections. Her knight in black Brioni has a body made for sin with
enough baggage to fill a 747, but when a near-fatal attack throws the
two together, they implode in a night of steamy, sheet-gripping
passion.
Jonny
can’t resist the beautiful blonde with the pleading green eyes plus
he has his own agenda with the underworld thug who owns a piece of
his soul.
Their
wild ride whisks them from the high-powered glitz of Manhattan to the
sultry beaches of Miami in a desperate attempt to break free of their
shady pasts while trying to tame their fiery passion and the
dangerous deceptions swirling around them.
Barbara Nolan has
enjoyed writing most of her life. She became serious about her craft
over the last five years.
Coming a bit late to
the game, Barbara made up for lost time by acquiring her Certificate
in Creative Writing from NYU and devouring any and all webinars and
online courses available.
She's also had the
help and influence of many talented professors and editors along the
way.
Her passion for
reading and words, in general, make this a journey of love. There is
nothing she would rather be doing than reading or sitting at the
computer writing and editing.
She considers
reading a luxury and writing a necessity.
GUEST POST
What
is something unique/quirky about you?
Over
my lifetime I broken 11 bones, Eight fingers, playing as a child,
each foot, stepping off a curb, and a rib, coughing during a bout
with bronchitis. And no, I don’t consider myself clumsy just
unlucky.
What
are some of your pet peeves?
People
that talk too loud on their phones.
Where
were you born/grew up?
Born
in New Jersey and still in New Jersey. Love being 25 minutes outside
of Manhattan.
Who
is your hero and why?
My
Dad. He never complained, and accepted everyone with a smile no
matter how unpleasant the situation. I’ve tried to live up to his
good nature but fear I sometimes fall short.
What
are you passionate about these days?
I
am very passionate about my writing and giving my readers the best
work I can produce.
What
do you do to unwind and relax?
Reading
and writing. I consider reading a luxury and writing a necessity.
Describe
yourself in 5 words or less!
Loyal,
dependable, honest, caring and supportive. And no, I was never a girl
scout, lol.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
When
I won my first award for my writing. It was such an honor to be
recognized for something that I’ve enjoyed most of my adult life.
What
inspired you to write this book?
This
book and the other two in the series were inspired by our many years
in the bar and restaurant business.
Do
you believe in writes block?
Not
really. Now, I don’t want to jinx myself, but the words flow for me
and when they don’t it usually means that the scene is not working
for the character or that I am in the wrong POV. When I do get stuck
I read some of my favorite authors in my genre and it seems when I
relax and enjoy reading that my words come more freely when I resume
writing.
Which
of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?
I
could definitely see Beyond Paradise as a movie. The glamour of
Manhattan’s night life, and sultry South Beach, would be wonderful
backdrops for a movie. Since there will be two more books in this
series, Dangerous Paradise and Forbidden Paradise, I believe they
could also be a Netflix series. My characters are passionate, and
flawed which would transfer nicely onto the screen.
What
did you enjoy most about writing this book?
The
scenes in Beyond Paradise have been floating around in my mind for
many years and it was a relief to finally get it all down on paper.
Then I loved taking the supporting characters of Beyond Paradise and
giving them their own story while watching them unfold and develop.
Hopefully, my readers will love my characters as much as I do, and if
they do then I know I have done my job.
