Today, we're doing something a little different. Fellow author Kathleen Ann Gallagher is stopping by to talk about her series!
Hello, Kathleen! It's great that you're visiting MLB. :)
Hi! Thank you for having me here.
My pleasure, of course! So, let me ask a few questions since you're here...
All right.
Can you tell us a little about your books? When did they come out and where can we get them?
Sure, thank you for asking. The City Lights Series was released by Beau
Coup Publishing. Book 1, Savannah’s
Journey was released in 2014, and book 2,
Perfect For Her followed soon after. They are stories about friends from
New Jersey who live in New Jersey, but work in NYC. Savannah Mason and Angela
Carnes work at a television station.
Both books can be found on Amazon.
Great!
So, what inspired your book? How did you get into writing contemporary romance?
Since I live in New
Jersey, it is fun to have some of my characters live there too. I also love
NYC and find it a magical and exciting city. Savannah’s Journey was a story I’d
been thinking about for a while. It is one of my favorite second chance stories.
I hope you enjoy following Savannah on her road to discovery.
Perfect for Her is Angela’s story. She is Savannah’s best
friend, and I fell in love with her. She deserved to find happiness.
I enjoy reading
contemporary romance. My readers can relate to some of the struggles of my
heroines as they meet their dream match, and come to terms with some of the conflicts
along the way.

Sounds good to me!
What, do you feel, sets your series apart from other books in the genre?
I’d like to think The City Lights Series are books that
remain in the reader’s memory long after they finish reading them. If they find
the message to be uplifting, I’ve done my work well.
Savannah’s Journey is a timeless tale about forgiveness and
healing. Perfect For Her is about
following your heart in all areas of your life.
All right.

Give us a teaser or two from one of these books if you can.
“I’m crazy about
you, Savannah,” he murmured as a rapid string of kisses left her weak and
wanting more. With a low moan, Rob ran his tongue along the seam of her lips,
begging for entrance.
With a whimper of surrender, Savannah allowed him access, opening her
mouth. Rob clasped her closer and deepened the kiss, his mouth eating at her as
if he’d devour her. A sense of elation filled her spirit. This was what she’d
been missing. Her whole body was on fire. An ache radiated from her inner thighs
all the way to the tips of her nipples. She couldn’t be still. The moment he
placed his hand on her breast, Savannah gave a soft moan. Unable to hold back,
she ran her hand across his thigh, needing to touch him. Each hungry stoke of
his fingers on her skin felt magical, and she was ready to give herself
completely.
When they broke away for a moment, she softly whispered, “Come inside.”
He replied in a low, breathy tone, “Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I am.” A tremulous smile spoke for itself. Was this the right thing to
do? Savannah questioned herself, but she knew her mind had lost the battle. Her
heart had won.

Ooh! (Fans herself.) I definitely want to know what happens next.
So,
I'm sure readers are curious about your next writing project. Can you
tell us what you've got cooking up now or is that a secret?
I do have some exciting
news to share. I have a fun paranormal

hold on tight to their beliefs.

Here are the blurbs.
Savannah’s
Journey
Savannah Mason, a career minded journalist, spends long hours at work,
hoping to take the spot as anchor. She continues to fight for
independence and refuses to allow her demanding father to take control
of her life, despite his wish for her to take over his surgical
practice. On her darkest day twelve years prior, she agreed to give her
baby up for adoption. Now, on her daughter’s birthday, a chance
encounter gives Savannah an opportunity to explore a corner of her heart
she thought was lost forever. Rob Sinclair a renowned surgeon and NY
Times best-selling author has a new release and needs a promo spot on
the television show, The News Stop. When Savannah gets to conduct the
interview, a door opens to her future. But can she walk through that
door? The last thing she wants is a relationship, especially one with a
divorced doctor who happens to have two small children. This man who
seems all wrong for her slowly weaves his way into her heart. But before
she is free to accept this love, she must face the unsettled issues in
her life. Rob’s commitment to climbing the ladder of success and
providing a good life for his children, keeps him on the road for days
at a time. When he meets the assertive newswoman, desire and passion
awaken his broken spirit. Savannah and Rob’s strong attraction is
undeniable as they journey to a place where honesty and the power of
forgiveness can guide them both home. Will it be enough to heal the
scars of the past and allow them another chance at love?
