<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nToday I’m having tea with Betty Bolte, a fellow RWA author and writer of historical and contemporary romance. The mysterious aspects of the world fascinates her and she loves to include a touch of the inexplicable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we talk about her contemporary romance, Charmed against all odds<\/em>, let’s find out more about her! <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong>. Quickies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n B. Five likes and five dislikes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Likes: long walks; traveling; a good story; meeting my readers; spending time with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dislikes: politics; dissension; sushi; flavored coffee; rap music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n C. Three things on your bucket list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Australia\u2014I\u2019ve wanted to go since reading The Thornbirds<\/em> as a teen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Driving the Florida Keys and visiting Hemingway\u2019s house<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visiting Albuquerque, New Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n D. What triggered this specific story?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One thing I wanted to include in Charmed Against All Odds<\/em> was a \u201creverse horcrux\u201d concept from the Harry Potter series; instead of finding and destroy the objects, Roxie and Leo had to find and combine the missing charms onto the enchanted bracelet. I knew that Roxie Golden\u2019s story had to be the most meaningful of the three witch sisters as it was the last one to tell. I also knew that her former fianc\u00e9 Leo King was coming back to town. I was still trying to understand why they broke up in the first place when I heard Phil Collins\u2019 \u201cAgainst All Odds\u201d on the radio and the story in that song really spoke to the reasons for why Roxie ended the engagement. Thus the title of the book came together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Loving her brings out the magic in him\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wedding bells are ringing, but not for Roxie Golden. If she can survive another round of wedding plans, then her life can return to normal. She\u2019s perfectly happy running the bookstore and weaving helpful magical spells. Then one stormy day, her ex-fianc\u00e9 strolls back into her life with a gift neither of them wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leo King wants to flee the small town for the big city. Forget about the shame he brought upon himself when he abused his magical powers. First, to satisfy his warlock father\u2019s final wish, he must deliver the mysterious box to Roxie\u2019s bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when Roxie opens the box, revealing an enchanted bracelet and a quest spell, their plans and their lives are changed forever. Trapped in a reluctant partnership with the woman he once loved, he risks everything\u2014including his heart\u2014for a second chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social media links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: www.bettybolte.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blog: www.bettybolte.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Facebook: www.facebook.com\/AuthorBettyBolte<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Twitter: @BettyBolte <\/p>\n\n\n\n Goodreads: www.goodreads.com\/bettybolte<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n BookBub: https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/authors\/betty-bolte<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon: www.amazon.com\/author\/bettybolte<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Buy links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Books2Read<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Barnes & Noble<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Kobo<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Apple<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for having tea with me, Betty – I hope you get to do every item on your bucket list, they all sound wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today I’m having tea with Betty Bolte, a fellow RWA author and writer of historical and contemporary romance.
