    Interview with Amber Harrison

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Hi everyone,
    My name is Amber Harrison. I’m the Winston family keeper.
    Right, and what’s that you’re probably asking?
    It means that I’m guided by my family ancestors which are now
    my spiritual guides. They assigned me task that will help me grow and will help
    different members of my family. I’m very happy in my job, most of the time because
    I’m surrounded by very supportive people.
    But this time, the family spirits have assigned me one heck of
    a task. I have to get my grandmother’s ghost to let go and pass over into heaven.
    Do you know how hard that is?
    Especially with a ghost riddled with guilt.
    Add in, I’m in love with an incredible guy who has no idea what
    I’m going through. Then you’ll wonder why I just don’t pack up my bags, head back
    to college, and sunny California.
    Oh, yeah, my parents, they want to rule my life.
    Oh, but it’s fun being me…not.
    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    To let go of the guilt I have of accidentally killing my grandfather.
    I loved him so much, then he died and left me all alone.
    What’s your internal limitation?
    Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
    to do during this story?
    I have to let go of the one man, I truly love to find the confidence
    to convince my grandmother to let go of her life as a ghost.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    Failing the family that loves me.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Carter Miller is everything a girl could want tall, dark, and
    handsome with the most incredible bedroom-brown eyes. He can look at you and you
    want to melt. He works in construction and is remodeling the kitchen in Winston
    Manor. His only problem is he doesn’t understand my connection to the spiritual
    world.
    What would that person
    say about you?
    He believes I’m beautiful. Even if I’ve been told by my mother,
    I could use to lose a few pounds. With blonde hair and blue eyes, I’m attractive
    and try to be a nice person. Though, his sister calls me a bimbo because I consume
    a great deal of her brother’s time. Yeah, I can’t help if he likes being with me.
    What is your family like?
    With a family of spirits surround me, I have more characters
    around me than I can shake a stick at (old says are repeated regularly at my house.)
    They are supportive as well as challenging.
    My best friend, Mattie Winston Miller is the best and helps me
    with my job. She’s the old family keeper and understands the challenges I face.
    As for my parents, they are in California. We don’t exactly get along, and I’m
    much happier living miles and miles away from them.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    Yes, I met the task assigned to me by Jonathan, the head of the
    family spirits and I am committed to living the rest of my life with the man I love.
    Granted, I still have challenges to face but I know I can meet
    them with the help of the family spirits and my friends.

    About the Writer

    You have the length of
    a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
    do.
    Creates heartwarming stories about women, their struggles, successes,
    hopes, and dreams. Romances that push the limit and touch your heart.
    Why did you choose to
    write about this character?
    Amber is a young woman searching for where she fits into the
    world. Her challenges stretch the limit of what we might achieve if we were given
    a task by spirit.
    When you wrote about this
    character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?
    Happy for her to find the strength to let go of the pain of the
    past and reach forward into a new future with Carter. Sad – She see the pain others
    experience and can’t let it go, she shares the pain and works to help anyway she
    can.
    Why do you write?
    I want my readers to escape into a new world and discover new
    things that they can take into their world and make their life better.
    What do you want to write
    next?
    I’m working right now on the last book in my Executive Wives’
    Club series. Then I’ll start on the next book in the Family Tree Series.
    What other character from
    this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why? Are any sequels planned
    for this book?
    This series shares the life adventures of not only Amber but
    Mattie and her daughter Lilia. A family saga, there is a great deal to share with
    each character growing and learning new things.
    The next book will go into more of Lilia’s life. She is a psychic,
    but she is not sure if she can embrace her gift or not. She has a challenge in the
    next book and will discover that having someone to love can make a world of difference
    in your outlook on life.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Thank you, I am always amazed by my readers and their understanding
    of my stories.

    Author Bio

    Growing up, I didn’t know what I wanted to be. Once when someone
    asked me about my dream job, I said I wanted to be a pretender.
    That’s why writing is the perfect job for me, because it allows
    me the flexablity to become a new person in every book. In truth, I went through
    a number of different jobs, before I decided to be a writer. I enjoy incorporating
    the heartaches, headaches and fun of being a mother into my books.
    Currently, I’m working on a series about four executive wives.
    They combine elements of women fiction with the passion of romance. The first three
    books are available, Marketing Exec’s Widow, IT Exec’s Baby, and CFO’s Affair. The
    last book CEO Widow’s Decision will be out by the end of 2014.
    Also, I have two books out in my Family Tree series…Summer’s
    Growth and Fallen Leaves. (Paranormal Romantic Suspense)
    When not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling
    around the country. I haven’t hit every state yet, but hoping to some day.
    Read the first chapter of any of my books by visiting my website.

    Sex Appeal: When Does a Woman Lose It? @AuthorTinaGayle #RLFblog

    CFO’s Affair 

    At what age does a woman lose her sex appeal?

    Thirty, forty, fifty, eighty?
    Never.
    Woman are unique in that at any age they can be as sexy as they
    want to be.
    Look at Betty White?
    The woman is funny, cute, and someone we would all like to know.
    Do men find her attractive?
    I can’t see why not. She is smart, well versed in I’m sure a
    number of subjects, has a pretty face, a nice smile, sexy curves and a winning personality.
    Then why do all romance heroines have to be in their twenties?
    Luckily, the age has expanded.
    In my current release, Sylvia Donovan is in her late forties.
    Does that make her unattractive? Not in my book. She is a woman scarred by her past,
    but she has a body most younger women would die for and knows how to make a man
    happy. She also has a bank account to support herself.
    The question for her is does she want a man?
    Are they worth the trouble?
    Find out if she succumbs to temptation in “CFO’s Affair.”
    Blurb:
    Sylvia Sullivan is emotionally wounded from the unexpected death
    of her husband and still haunted by their last conversation: his request for a divorce
    and his confession of love for another woman. Her husband gone, her only daughter
    off to college, Sylvia faces the challenges of learning to live alone and move on
    with her life.
    Vince Wilshire, enchanted with Sylvia, is more than willing to
    do what it takes to capture the heart of the hurting and untrusting Sylvia.
    Can he help her forget the past and make her believe in love
    again?
