Author Holly Stevenson

I don't think readers quite understand how much their reviews mean to an author---either for good or bad. Here are a couple of reviews for my book, Lucky You , that absolutely made my day! Ms. Stevenson has crafted a wonderful romance that kept me turning the pages and anxious to find stolen minutes in my day to read a little bit more. The pacing moves along, the characters are instantly likeable, and the setup of what will bring them together and could also tear them apart is excellent. I'll certainly read more by Ms. Stevenson. ~Amazon Reviewer This is such a sweet and emotional love story. Piper didn’t have a very good childhood, so her three best friends are her true family. She hasn’t seen her parents since graduation. Savannah, her roommate, sets her up with a blind date. Greg is good looking and ambitious, but there aren’t any sparks.

When people find out I'm an author, the question I get a lot is, "Where do you find the ideas for your books?" The answer is ... it varies. I was in an exercise class with an upbeat country song, and out of nowhere popped the idea for a barn dance scene I wanted to write. I had planned for that scene to be in the book I'm writing right now, The Inn at Bright Harbor , but as it turns out, it's going to be in a different book in this series. (Probably book two). But as a discovery writer I can never be quite sure, lol! I've had ideas come from dreams, songs, conversations, etc. You never know where inspiration will strike, but I love when an idea bursts into my mind and I can't wait to start typing it out. There have been plenty of those scenes in my book right now. It's on preorder and you can check it out at the link below. Happy reading and writing, friends! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R12G7PT   

  I'm getting to my absolute favorite part of any book---the kissing scene! And it's coming a little later in the story than usual for me. The buildup has been killing me! At what point in a story do you like the kissing scene to come? Close to the beginning, somewhere in the middle, or all the way at the end of the book? (Cue Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth). I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Meanwhile ... I'll be writing that scene.💋
