March is in full swing in NZ (and around the world, no doubt, LOL), and the weather has definitely changed here. We had the most incredible Summer, and things are definitely cooling down. 

I’m on the home stretch of Kerry and Dayton’s story and will have that with the editor on Monday which is super exciting! I’m behind schedule which I despise with a passion, but life has a habit of getting in the way, and I’m learning there is very little I can do about that, LOL. 

All going to plan I’ll have a cover reveal and preorder link for you next week, but for now, please let me hand over the reins to Linden Bell.

Linden’s Quirky Questions

Holly: Are you oddly obsessed with anything? Tell me about it!

Linden: Coasters. I don’t consider myself a picky or particular person. I’m definitely not very neat. But the idea of putting a cup or mug directly on a table makes me hyperventilate. I have no clue where I developed this compulsion since we never used coasters when I was growing up!

Holly: If you had to write yourself a warning label what would it say?

Linden: Beware: super socially awkward author. If she sounds offensive, she’s probably just trying to be funny and failing.

Holly: What comes first for you, plot, or characters?

Linden: Characters definitely come first for me. I can spend all day dreaming up characters and how they meet. It’s what happens after—how they get to their HEA—that sometimes stumps me.

Holly: Which household chore do you find the most agitating?

Linden: Floors. I hate when floors get dirty, but I also hate having to clean them.

Holly: Tell me three reasons I should buy this book today!

Linden: Preston is absolutely precious and must be protected at all costs. Sawyer’s endlessly sweet, patient and devoted. They’re two dumb-dumbs who just need to kiss—like now!

Holly: Was there anything lost in the story in the editing process that you wish you’d been able to keep?

Linden: There was a fun scene at a climbing gym that I had to cut. As I was editing the book, I ended up moving around some events, and the climbing gym scene just didn’t fit anymore.

Stacked

When the person you desire is so close, and yet so far.

Sawyer

I’ve been in love with my best friend and roommate since the first day of boarding school over a decade ago. But Preston has always been oblivious, obsessed with his PhD research, and more importantly, straight.

When the new, sexy grad student walks into my gym, I have to wonder… is it time for me to move on?

Preston

Some guy is trying to steal my best friend. I won’t let him. Sawyer’s mine.

Maybe I haven’t appreciated Sawyer enough over the years, but that’s going to change now. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him by my side. Even if it means kissing him.

Stacked is a best friends to lovers, bi-awakening, nerd/jock MM romance between possessive, protective, and co-dependent roommates. Expect the most tender caretaking, slipping into each other’s beds in the middle of the night, and adorable clinginess. It is the second book in the Mars Fitness series and can be read as a standalone.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s episode of Holly’s Quirky Questions. 

 A huge thank you to Linden.

Next week we have April Kelley.

Until then: Find a Spark of Magic Every Day.
