A Different Kind of Perfect by Karen Cino @karencino #RLFblog #Contemporary

Welcome Karen Cino author of A Different Side of Perfect (Book 2 – Seaside Boulevard Series), a new Contemporary Romance.

Why did you write this book?

I love writing series. This is the second book which deals with breast cancer, an interracial relationship and an obsessive relationship. I feel that these topics are important in real life and I felt they needed to be explored in more details.

What is your favorite genre to read?

I read women’s fiction, contemporary romance and cozy mysteries. But don’t be surprised if you see me reading a Stephen King novel.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

I like Stephanie Plum. She is down to earth, calls a spade a spade and can’t choose between two men. I love her spunk and she always keeps me engaged in her adventures.

What are you working on at the moment?

I’m working on two books. 5 Beach Road which explores the lives of three women down at the Jersey Shore and Book 3 in the Camp Mirage Series (cozy mystery).

What books will we see from you in coming months?

Sometime in January, I’ll be releasing the third book in the Seaside Boulevard Series.

Please tell us about your latest book.
