“Where Passion Lives”

MEET WOMAN TO WATCH

What was your inspiration for

THE BACHELOR NEXT DOOR?

KG: “My family. In developing my hero and heroine, that importance of family came across. I especially needed a key to who Rafe Santinu was. Rafe had a strong sense of family...so I took his family away from hun and left him with the guilt of their deaths. The want of a family is still strong within Rafe, but he believes he will destroy anyone he cares for.”

What about the Desire line appeals

to you as a reader and as a writer?

KG: “It’s fast paced, sometimes serious and sometimes funny, but always sensual.”

Why is this book special to you?

KG: “Because of Rafe Santini. I fell in love with the lonely playboy who lives across the street from the heroine and her son. While I was writing this book, for the first time I was able to deal honestly with the emotions my characters were feeling. I learned a lot about myself as a writer from It. I set the story in Florida where I was born and raised, because I love this state.”

Any additional information about

yourself or your book?

KG: “After I won the Georgia Romance Writers Maggie Award for this book, I was serenaded by an entire Marine Corps unit in the bar. It was very exciting and fun.”
