Ashton Garrison walked away from a privileged life in order to hide from the one thing she’s not willing to face. She knows she left behind a trail of pain, but in the long run, her betrayal will hurt less than the truth. She now has one goal: Live life to the fullest with no regrets and no attachments. She has high hopes that a move to new surroundings will provide the escape she desires, but what Ashton doesn’t count on is how fate always seems to find a way to screw up any good plan. Sometimes, when love comes knocking, the pull is too strong not to answer. Suddenly, what she thought she wanted to escape from is what Ashton now wants more than anything.
Nathan Lockton has one mission: find his target and complete the task he was hired to do—no attachments and no emotion necessary. He’s done it over and over again. What he thought was a typical lost-and-found job has turned into a life examining moment as Nathan is forced to deal with something he has always ignored–his feelings. Now faced with a decision, Nathan must choose to either follow his heart or complete the job.
Love can come when you least expect it. The question is: If the odds are stacked against you, how far are you willing to go for the one you love?
In the length of a tweet (140 characters), tell us about your book.
#No Attachments is a New Adult book about second chances at life & love and the secrets & lies that can threaten to destroy both of them.
What are your pet peeves?
LMAO, I’ll limit this to my top three since I have a lot.
1) People who forget to use their blinker when they’re turning. If you live in Florida you know why this is so flipping annoying.
2)People who scream at their kids in stores. I’m not saying kids shouldn’t be disciplined. I just hate when the parent is screaming threats so that everyone can hear.
3) Waiting for a check after we’re done eating. I get very antsy and once I’m ready to leave, I want to leave NOW.
I know I’m a complete weirdo 😉
What was your favorite book when you were a child/teen?
LOL, I was a complete nerd growing up, so I could list a million. Instead, I’ll divide it up into categories with my top three in each.
Elementary Age:
Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
The Cat Ate My Gymsuit by Paula Danziger
Middle School Age:
Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
The Outsiders by SE Hinton
High School Age:
Watchers by Dean Koontz
The Stand by Stephen King
Where Are the Children by Mary Higgins Clark
What advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Every author has a voice and an audience. Don’t let anyone ever tell you you can’t do it. Put your soul into your writing. Care and nurture it and your readers will respect and love you for it.
What’s your favorite quote?
I’m a total Harry Potter geek, so my favorite quote is from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It always makes me teary eyed when I read it.
“The last words Albus Dumbledore spoke to the pair of us?’
“Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him.”
Do you have a hidden talent?
I have total mad-skills when it comes to picking stuff up off the floor with my toes. Worthy talent? Maybe not, but it sure comes in handy, or would that be footy? Now, if I could just get the Olympics to acknowledge it as a sport I would make out like a bandit.
If someone wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?
Persevering Against the Odds
Who or what inspired you to become an author?
My daughter initially inspired me to become a writer. My very first novel, Meant to Be, was written for her. She was my first fan and my first critic. She is still one of the first people to see my stories as they are written, and I will always value her input and what she has to say about each and every book.
What TV show/movie/book is your guilty pleasure?
LOL, this changes often. I’ve been catching up on some old shows that I didn’t watch before. At the moment, my guilty pleasure TV show is Party of Five, but I can’t wait for the current seasons of Newsroom and Dexter. My guilty movie is Pitch Perfect, and book is any of the Harry Potter’s (they’re my comfort reads).
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I have a terrible potty mouth, and my mind has a tendency to go to the gutter from even the most innocent comments.
If you weren’t a human, what would you be?
If we’re talking paranormal I’d have to be a Vampire, but only if I’m like the Cullens, LOL. If we’re talking normal, I’d be a pampered house cat. Aaah, to have such a life: eat, sleep and occasionally play with a paper ball. #Bliss
What book do you love that doesn’t get a lot of hype?
I absolutely loved Released, and Chaos, by Megan Duncan. Both books wowed me and I would love for them to wow other readers too.
What is your most embarrassing moment?
Haha, my life is riddled with embarrassing moments. I blush easily and have been known to even get embarrassed watching a sitcom on TV. My most recent embarrassing moment though was a conversation I recently had with someone I knew previously, but couldn’t remember from where. It was so awkward. They knew my name and I was trying my best with the “hey you” and “how’s it going,” but my mind was blank. It wasn’t until I walked away that I realized I did know them from years ago. #MindFail
What is your favorite part of the writing/publishing process?
My most favorite part of being a writer is when a fan tells me my book has touched them and moved them to tears. It is still very surreal for me when someone tells me they completely lost themselves in one of my stories.
