Now... Let's learn a little bit about Suzanna Lynn :) 

What are you most looking forward to for UtopYA?
Meeting new people and getting together with friends is going to be great. I also really look forward to the informative workshops.  I am a true nerd, I absolutely love learning new things. So all the vast amounts of knowledge the speakers will have is very exciting to me.

Your book is AMAZING! What got you started writing it? 
Well actually chapter 4 was a dream I had!  I know, I'm naughty!  It was a very vivid dream and when I woke up I started writing it down.  Three days later I had most of the book completely written!

Do you have a "day" job? if so what?
Yes, actually I do.  Five years ago I started my own company called Serendipity Bridal.  I still run it to this day and have plans to open up an actual physical boutique within the next few months! That is so cool!! 

Who is Your favorite author? 
Jane Austen by far. She knew how to create a book boyfriend!  Sure, you don't get the super sexy scenes you have now days, but let's face it, she had the butterflies going when Mr. Darcy taking Elizabeth Bennett's hand. Mine of ALL time is the same :) Oh how I love Mr. Darcy! 

What is the genre you love to read?
I am a big fan of fantasy as well as romance (obliviously since my book is a fantasy romance).  Though I can be open to most any book as long as it grabs my interest. I don't like horror though, or anything super scary.

If you could travel to anywhere in the world where would it be.... and why? *pictures please*
I have a huge bucket list when it comes to wanting to go places.  I want to go to London, Italy, Australia.  I want culture and new things to see.  I live in the middle of the US with nothing really extraordinary to speak of. Though an absolute must for me is to visit a specific location in Australia where you get to cage dive with Great White Sharks. I'm completely obsessed with sharks. If it wasn't for my fear of all things in Australia killing you LOL this would be awesomeness!



Have you ever met anyone you FanGirled over? 
Well, it's actually kind of funny because it is book related a bit.  If you watch Days of our Lives, there are two characters on their named Doug and Julie. They are an older couple and they are actually married in real life!  They were in a town close to me and I ran into them.  I totally went fan girl because I have been watching Days since I was about 12 years old.  I have a picture for you to see. I totally knew who you were talking about without the pic! I've been a watcher my whole life bc my mom and babysitter were AVID fans.



Ok, So everyone knows *because I keep telling them* that I LOVE cheesecake... what's your favorite dessert? 
Anything with sugar?  Honestly, it's hard to pick a favorite because I do just love all kinds of things.  I'm a big chocoholic but I also love things like cobbler and pie.  This is so hard!  I guess I will just throw out there that I like chocolate cake, but then again I love blackberry cobbler... and coconut cream pie... I told you this would be hard!

Can you show us what your writing space looks like? if not tell us please....
I actually don't have a designated writing space.  I'm a pen and paper kind of girl, so I carry it around with me all the time.  I write in the middle of the night, or while in the car at the park. I do write during my daughter's gymnastics training (she's on the USA Gymnastics team).  Pretty much when an opportunity presents itself, I take advantage of it. Dude! How cool is that!!

I know these are seriously random questions... but I like to keep ya on your toes.... Who is your Famous Person crush? *Oh, we all have one at least LOL*
This is going to be very funny but I'm simply in love with British actor Richard Armitage.  I know he's ten years older then me (by the day... we share a birthday!), but he's just so handsome to me!  His role in the Hobbit actually inspired Baylin's look in the book. The long black hair, blue eyes.  But obviously Baylin is half his age! Umm... YUMMM... just sayin!



OH!!! Ok so don't forget to come back tomorrow for more from Suzanna Lynn and The Bed Wife!!

Now... Suzanna take us away....


Before I got deep into the Kingdom of Grasmere, I knew I was going to have to get my ducks in a row.  I sat down and sketched out the layout of the land, along with the roads and villages.  I made each village have a purpose, something they supply for everyone else in the Kingdom.  So Openshaw takes care of the livestock while Hillford handles the production of grain and veggies.  Doing this before diving deeply into writing the book helped to make sure I never messed up while writing. It also was just a lot of fun to bring my Kingdom to life!

NOW take a look at the map she drew up before writing!



Take a walk-through of the world she created! below is a "tourist type" video of Grasmere.....



*My review is coming up later this week but trust me! This is one you want to check out!! Come back tomorrow for more on Suzanna Lynn.

Is a star-crossed romance worth sacrificing your own life?
High school senior Sloane Masterson lives a quiet existence. She has awesome friends, gets excellent grades, and writes a column for the Haven Gazette. But her life goes from dullsville to bizarro when she witnesses mysterious loner Hayden Lancaster performing some freaky superhuman feats.
Like any good journalist, Sloane sets out to uncover the truth, and she’s not above stalking. But one look into Hayden’s remarkable eyes, and she’s crushing hard.

Now Sloane’s dealing with creepy government agents, über snobby extraterrestrials, and getting a crash course on the rules of interstellar dating. As their diverse worlds collide and the romantic sparks fly, Sloane must decide if Hayden’s secrets are worth risking her life to protect.

Cover Reveal: Whiskey Pince by Toni Aleo


Take a risk.

Do something drastic.

Fall in love.





When Amberlyn Reilly loses her mother, her whole world comes crashing down. Having been caretaker to her for most of her teenage years, Amberlyn is inexperienced in many aspects of life. She hasn’t had time to live, have fun, or enjoy even the little things. It’s only when a letter from her mother, asking her to fulfill three things, sends her off to Ireland to live a life she never thought possible that she begins to heal.



Declan O’Callaghan was born and raised in Ireland and has his family’s legendary whiskey in his veins. He’s shy and not a fan of the pressure and spotlight that comes with his family name, or the title he was given at birth—the Whiskey Prince. Declan knows just what he wants and that is to take over the family dynasty, but when his father gives him an ultimatum, everything he’s worked for could come undone in the blink of an eye.



With six months to get married, the reclusive Declan spots Amberlyn across a lake and instantly feels the need to know her. Soon, the two find themselves traveling down a path neither expected. However, like any road, there are bumps and side streets to derail them. Can Declan help find the pieces that will make Amberlyn whole again? And will Amberlyn stay or run when she learns of Declan’s deadline of marriage?



Toni Aleo is the author of the Nasvhille Assassins series: Taking ShotsTrying to ScoreEmpty Net, Falling for the Backup, and Blue Lines.

When not rooting for her beloved Nashville Predators, she’s probably going to her husband’s and son’s hockey games and her daughter’s dance competitions, taking pictures, scrapbooking, or reading the latest romance novel.


She lives in the Nashville area with her husband, two children, and a bulldog. Read more about Toni here.
