Welcome to the blog. Today I"m interviewing Astrid Arditi the debut author of A Cunning Plan. I reviewed the book for Astrid, and I'll share it with you after the interview. Astrid, Thanks so much for coming.
Thanks for having me, Elaine
1Why
did you pick your particular genre to write in ?
I’m a
romantic at heart and a sucker for all romantic comedies. But while reading
pure chick lit, I often get bored. The love interest alone isn’t always enough
to keep me invested in a novel. This is where the suspense comes in. On top of
the romantic suspense, there’s also a strong element of comedy in A Cunning
Plan. Who doesn’t love to laugh?
2Besides
yourself, who is your favorite author in the genre in which you write ?
I’m a
die-hard fan of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. She’s the queen of romantic/comedy
suspense.
3If
you could spend an afternoon with any famous person living or dead who would it
be and why?
Marie
Antoinette so I could tour her closet! J I’m also pretty sure she couldn’t be as superficial and stupid as she
was described. Would love to know the truth behind the myth.
4What’s
the hardest part of writing for you ?
Finding
the time to write ! With two young kids and a husband who loves to move us
around, getting a few hours to myself can be somewhat of a challenge. We moved 5
times in the past 4 years!
5What
future plans for your writing do you have ?
I’m
currently writing the second book in the Sloane Harper series, A Cunning Heist,
and hopefully, there are many more in store.
I'm really with you on Marie Antoinette! I'd love to see her clothes. And now for that review.
I really enjoyed this book. Romantic comedy is one of my favorite genres so I was pleased to have the chance to read the book. I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is because of the heroine. I was hooked when she was straightening out her panties in the car (she was in the car because she was stalking her ex-hubands's new girlfriend) and looked up to find a strange man watching her. Ordinarily I don't guess it would make any difference what he saw, but in this case she's going to have a whole lot more interaction with him.
I also loved the housekeeper who hung out with our heroine when she was stalking the girlfriend. The ex-husband: so not worth the stalking or heartache.
Of course, there are some pretty tense moments in the book too, but I'll let you discover those for yourself. Just be aware that when you read the last couple of lines in the book, you're gonna smile.
Five out of five stars.
