Second Chances. Delaney Diamond, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Let’s talk
about your book, Second Chances.Genre: Contemporary InterracialBuy links: All Romance Ebooks | Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | SmashwordsPublisher: Delaney DiamondCover artist: MTheresa ArtsLength: 134 pagesHeat rating: SensualTagline: Sweet. Sensual. Passionate. Romance.Blurb:

to make her a multi-million dollar offer and delay their divorce.Sabrina da Silva can’t forgive herself after a reckless night
destroys her marriage. She agrees to help her husband and then disappear from his
life for good. But with passion still smoldering between them, it’s not easy for
either to walk away. Will passion be enough to overcome the ultimate test of their
love?What are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?Renaldo da Silva, 29,
real estate investorSabrina da Silva, 27,
financial anaylstInterview
What do you enjoy most
about life?Spending time with friends and family. One of my mottos is live,
laugh, love! Life is too short to be stressed. Stress can attack you physically,
so I try to live as stress-free as possible and leave negative people and negative
situations behind.If you could give the
younger version of yourself advice what would it be?Don’t stress the small stuff! It’s funny how the things that
seemed important to me when I was younger are completely irrelevant now. If only
I’d known then what I know now…Do things your family
or friends do ever end up in a book?Oh yes! For instance, in Second
Chances, Lucélia, the daughter of Renaldo’s cousin, was running around with
a yucca fry offering a bite to people who were over at the house. My niece likes
to “share” her food like that, too, although if you ever took a bite, she’d have
a fit. One day I was over at my sister’s, and my niece kept offering us a bite of
her French fry. She must have had it for a good hour and wouldn’t put it down, and
every now and again she’d walk up to me or someone else in the family and offer
us a bite. My niece is always doing the cutest things (I’m not biased; you’d think
so, too, if you met her).Which of your books would
you recommend to someone who doesn’t normally read your genre, and why?Oh, that’s tough, because tastes are so subjective. But since
I have to choose, I’d recommend Private Acts.
It’s one of my most highly rated books. Readers seemed to really like Samirah’s
free spiritedness. I’ve also been told that the descriptions of Cuenca, Ecuador
helped the readers to feel as if they’d been transported to that locale, and the
sex between her and Miguel is smoking.What kind of books do
you read when taking a break from your own writing?Romance, mysteries, thrillers. I also like to read books on the
writing craft, the occasional biography, or books about major events in history.What do you do to relax?I cook or watch movies. Netflix rocks!Imagine you get to go
on a dream vacation, but you have only one hour to pack and leave, and it starts
as soon as you finish this interview. What will you take with you and where will
you go?I’d take my Kindle, a bathing suit, underwear, and a couple of
changes of clothes, because my dream vacation will definitely involve a beach somewhere.What do you like to do
when you’re bored?Eat. Yes, I know that’s terrible. Luckily, Netflix keeps me entertained
when I’m not hanging out with friends or doing something else, because staying at
home and being bored is dangerous. I find myself going to the fridge more often
than not.If you were a color, what
color would you be?Yellow, which happens to be my favorite color.Which statement is more
like you:“I am a vacation spa because I am laid back and relaxed.”“I am a ten-countries in ten-days tour vacation, because
I do things as fast as possible.”Please Fill in the Blanks
I love pizza with everything. Pile it full of meat and veggies!I’m always ready for traveling. I plan to do even more in
the near future.When I’m alone, I read or watch movies.You’d never be able to tell, but I’m a procrastinator. People
are always surprised when I tell them that because they think I’m so organized.
I’m just an organized procrastinator.Find Me Here
