When Addison Greyer, a happily married mother of three, decides to re-enter the workforce, she never once considers that taking a job might unravel everything she thinks to be true about her life — that it would cause her to look deep within and confront fears she didn’t know existed. She couldn’t have foreseen how a chance meeting or a single day can change the course of an entire lifetime.

Tell us more.
Like many women, Addison is defined in terms of marriage and motherhood, until she suddenly finds her life turned upside down by her husband’s decision to take a job thousands of miles away. When her tough-as-nails boss offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse, Addie is forced to make difficult choices. Those choices take her further and further out of the carefully crafted fairytale life she has created and lead her into an unknown world where things are anything but black and white: a world where she learns that desire is not only dangerous but deadly. In this world, all bets are off as she is forced to finally confront her past. As her past and present collide, she has to make decisions that for most are unthinkable, decisions that can tear her family apart, and perhaps even have fatal consequences.

Bedrock is a love story designed to showcase how the choices we make ultimately shape our lives. It serves as a reminder that in the end what defines us is not the big events, the monumental occasions. It’s the tiny, seemingly inconsequential moments in between. It’s proof that time passes and we cannot, no matter how hard we try, get it back. Bedrock is a story of love and grief that pretty much sums up the context of the human experience.

What genre is it?
Women’s Fiction, Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance.

In a nutshell, it’s a story about love.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Likely women. Hopefully, a few men, too.  Bedrock is a little on the dark side so it’s not recommended for readers in search of a light, fluffy read.

Dark side? Tell us more.
I’m excited about a novel that features a character who is a little bit farther along in life (early 30’s) who is a mother and wife but finds herself in a situation that introduces her to the world of BDSM. I hope that other women this (my) age and beyond will relate to the protagonist not only because they can relate to the stage of life she is in but understand that time goes on and life changes. That and hopefully it will provide a nice break (escape) from the realities of domestic life in general.

Since it’s got BDSM in it, we’re guessing it’s not appropriate for children?
Due to heavy subject matter and sexual content this book is recommended for mature readers.

So it falls into the same ballpark as…?
Fifty Shades of Grey or Bared To You.

How would you like the reader to feel as they read the last word of your book?
Contemplative. Hopeful. Wanting more.

And will there be more?
I’m working on the sequel to Bedrock as we speak and it’s scheduled for release in early Fall 2013.  I also have a third novel scheduled to release in January 2014.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m married to a man I adore (when he isn’t driving me crazy) and am the mother of FIVE amazing kids, who (surprise!) also have a habit of driving me crazy. My best guess is that it’s genetic. In addition, I founded a local network for women in 2012, which has grown to almost 700 members.
