Interview with Darlene Deluca, author of Unexpected Legacy
Tell us about Unexpected Legacy Determined to do whatever it takes to give his son a second chance, Matt looks to his alma mater to step up and help Brady regain his athletic abilities and sense of self. But sparks fly when he meets the high school principal, the captivating Kate Austen. Kate is ready to take Brady under her wing, but to her that means helping him refocus and find a new passion – using his brains rather than his brawn. Kate fully expects the younger Dalton to come with issues and challenges . . . his father may prove to be the biggest one of all. Though the chemistry is hard to ignore, Kate fights to keep her personal feelings and professional life separate. At the same time, Matt struggles to gain his son’s trust, and Brady must face the road to recovery and find a way to accept the changes in his life. What genre is it? What kind of readers will it appeal to? How long did it take to write? What was the most challenging part of your creative process? Tell us a bit about yourself. So far, my completed novels and works-in-progress fall into the genres of women’s fiction, contemporary romance, and mainstream with romantic elements. My novels are about people and their relationships – what brings them together, what keeps them apart, what brings them joy or annoys the hell out of them. My intent is to bring to life interesting and ‘real’ characters that readers can relate to in real-life situations that combine a little fun, plenty of drama, and big helpings of friendship, love and self-discovery, and will leave you either cheering or sighing with a satisfied smile as you turn the final page. And just so you know . . . I like a happy ending. I began my writing career as a newspaper reporter, then moved into corporate communications, writing and editing for business-related employee, company and industry publications. I spent twenty-five years in Corporate America before launching into the world of fiction writing. How can we keep up with you online? I also have a Facebook Author page. Would love to connect with readers there, too! What’s next? |
Sounds like a wonderful story! Best of luck!
Congrats on your release…and it sounds like you’ll be busy with two more coming soon. Books that “cross” lines attract many readers who prefer mixed genres/plots/themes.
