Hey Bonnie Girl!
It’s been a hectic day, but I wanted to drop in to say hello! Are you ready for the holidays? I’m just now getting ready for Christmas 1997. There are not enough hours in the day to do everything I’d like. I’m not Martha Stewart, and if I got a glue gun out the cat would be stuck to something for months, and I’d wonder why my shoes never moved…

Award-winning author David A. Anderson took some time this week to answer a few questions about his debut novel, The Drowners.
Tell us a little about your YA Watty award. What year did you receive it and what was your Wattpad experience like?
2021. The crazy thing is I almost didn`t enter that book. I had another story, Bright Midnight, that was getting attention from Wattpad`s editorial staff.

A Must Read 📚 A Marriage for the Marquess by Ruth A. Casiehttps://bit.ly/41WBKnE
Because it’s not just a story—it’s an exhilarating journey where love, secrets, and danger collide in the glittering world of Regency London!
Imagine a brooding Marquess with a ticking clock—five weeks to find a wife or lose everything he holds dear. Enter a spirited lady teetering on the brink of ruin, burdened by her late brother’s crushing debts. Their solution? A marriage of convenience that seems perfectly practical… until fate throws a wrench in their well-laid plans.
From the moment Ewan and Juliet say “I do,” they’re thrust into a web of deceit and intrigue, uncovering the enigmatic Order of Shadows, a clandestine organization manipulating the elite from the shadows. As they delve deeper, every uncovered secret pulls them closer together—and closer to danger.
But here’s where it gets deliciously complicated—a single, unexpected kiss on their wedding day ignites a passion neither anticipated. Suddenly, their arrangement of convenience becomes anything but convenient. Hearts are on the line, trust is a risky gamble, and time is slipping away.
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending romance, mystery, and suspense that’ll keep you turning pages late into the night. If you love stories with:
Strong, relatable characters who leap off the page and into your heart.

18 years ago AUTHORHi Bonnie,
OMG, where would I start with the Laird series? It was a unique inspiration for a twist on a time travel plot that launched five wonderful books. Laird of the Game is the first book and it’s available at Amazon.com or Borders Bookstores.
I also have some fabulous new artwork on my website from English Graphic Artist Bez, so I hope you get a chance to drop by to the heroines in the Laird series.
My desire for today, is just to keep the house standing while I prepare jello for the Thanksgiving dinner! I am delighted that Amber, from Amber’s Kitchen is cooking dinner for tomorrow so I can come out to play. (I don’t know how she got the cooking gene – it’s a miracle!)
I’m great at folding napkins, and polishing silverware! People like you amaze me. I would rather write a computer training manual than arrange flowers, or try to find the right paint color for the dining room. It took me months to decide on a cashmere color with pearl trim. (For those who are wondering about this combination, think beige and white.) LOL
I did, however, find a wonderful wine to go along with dinner.
What’s cooking at your house?

18 years ago AUTHORThe covers for the books were designed by Patty Foltz, cover artist for Vintage Romance Publishing. We talked a lot about the book, and tried several other options. The basic elements of the book are on the cover – the castle, the handsome Laird, the American Tourist who stumbles into the midst of their game. I’m sure Patty still cringes when my name is mentioned, as I can be rather demanding when it comes to the cover. We designed a theme that will be carried through the series.
I also have a wonderful Editor, Dawn Carrington, who took a great book and made it even better! We cut the length down, and focused the story. Working with the Vintage staff has been a truly wonderful experience. I had all the right elements in place for a spectacular launch. My Publicist has been working overtime in getting my book out to the stores.
The next book in the series would probably already be on the shelf, if it hadn’t been for a heartbreaking experience…
