Today, I’m hosting my fellow Crimson Spicy author Peggy Bird. Peggy’s first book, Beginning Again, was released on June 4 and today she’s catching us up with what’s been happening with her sexy characters Liz and Collins.
All Liz Wants for Christmas It’s the six-month aniversary of the release of my debut book, “
Beginning Again,” the story of Liz Fairchild, a Portland art gallery owner, and Collins, a sexy (and younger) sculptor who bulldozes his way into her gallery, her life and her bed with his talent, his charm, and his very special “to-do” list.
A lot’s happened since the June release of their story for me and my characters. “Loving Again,” the next book in my Second Chances series has been released. It’s about Amanda St. Claire, one of the artists Liz represents in her gallery, and Sam Richardson, the police detective who finds the evidence to prove Amanda innocent of the charge of murdering her boyfriend, Tom Webster. (Webster never rated high in Liz’s opinion after he was rude to her when she and Collins ate at his restaurant.)
It’s been busy for Liz and Collins, too. Thanks to success in the Portland art world, she’s moved to a larger space. Collins still does well with his sculpture but he’s only in his studio in the Wallowa Mountains in Eastern Oregon two weeks of the month now. The other two weeks, he’s in Portland. For marketing, he says. Liz’s reaction? “Oh, is that what they call it now?”
This will be their first Christmas in their new home, a house they bought together on the Willamette River in southwest Portland. A studio/workshop for Collins is planned so he can finally move his work, as well as his life, to Portland.
So, what do Liz and Collins want for Christmas (other than a chance to have their story read by a lot more readers)? The list isn’t very long—they’d like a successful holiday season for her gallery and a good year ahead for his art. They hope their friends Sam and Amanda have a memorable first Christmas together.
Just two things they’d like some help with—Collins needs gift ideas for Liz. She has just about everything a woman could want—she has him, after all—but he wants something special for his amazing woman. Liz is looking for the perfect tree-topper. She’s not much into angels and a star is too ordinary. If you have any suggestions for them, put them in the comments along with your email address (for the raffle).
