    Is It True: Too True To Be Good by Mary E Thompson @authormet #RLFblog #contemporary

    Play Is It True with today’s guest Mary E Thompson, author of Too True To Be Good, a Contemporary Romance. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    First, tell us about your book.

    His life was good…

    Zach Bennett was content to go to work, hang out with his family and friends, and entertain a woman once in a while. As his family found love all around him, he was content to stay single. Unattached. Happy.

    Besides, he had enough to worry about with a new chef breathing down his neck for his job.

    She faced the truth every day…

    Gianna Brooks always wanted to work with people. She saw enough growing up to know kids need all the help they can get. They deserved to be safe. Loved. Happy.

    Which is why she’s determined to get her new client into a forever home.

    But the truth isn’t always good…

    The last thing Zach needs is a little girl showing up on his doorstep claiming she’s his. Her social worker hot on her heels, and demanding a place to stay, definitely doesn’t make it any better. Especially with Gianna’s curvy body and bedroom eyes, and his daughter’s sad sweetness, making him consider keeping both of them.

    Gianna knows she should run. Zach knows he should send them away. But neither of them can resist the pull toward the other.

    Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No. This is my 36th book.
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes. This is the fifth book in the Raise A Glass series, where nine cousins find love on their vineyard in the Finger Lakes in central New York.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes! Way too much unfortunately!
    you did research for this book?
    Yes. I spent three days in the Finger Lakes touring vineyards and learning more about the area. I also read a lot of books about the area, and of course, about making wine. There might have been some sampling in there, too!
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    No. All characters are human.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No. It’s pretty straight contemporary romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    No. I wish!
    you grew up where you live now?
    Yes! I lived in South Carolina for seventeen years, but two and a half years ago, my family moved back to the area I grew up in New York.
    you love to read?
    Yes. Absolutely! Sometimes I think I read more than I write, which is not good!
    you are never late?
    Ugh, no. I wish I was never late, but it’s one of those things I’m bad about.
    you love pizza?
    Yes. Although I’m pretty simple and like cheese and pepperoni most of the time. Adventurous for me on a pizza is adding some bell peppers!
    you love sushi?
    No. I’ve sampled some and like it, but wouldn’t say I love it!
    you have a pet?
    Yes. One solid gray cat named Zada. She’s fourteen and not very friendly, but she’s a part of the family so we just warn visitors not to get too close!

    Mary E Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she would fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the covers trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light from her ereader means she doesn’t need a flashlight, but she still stays up way too late to finish a book.

    When Mary’s not reading, she’s playing with her two kids or living out her own real life romance novel with her hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate, especially when it’s paired with peanut butter, and has been known to have a bad day just because there’s no chocolate in the house. Unless there’s wine. Then everything is okay.

    Mary grew up in Buffalo, New York and swears she’s the only local to never ski or snowboard. Soccer was always her sport, with a couple adventures white water rafting and skydiving to keep things interesting. Mary moved to South Carolina for college but missed Buffalo every day. Yeah, she thinks she’s crazy, too. She somehow convinced her South Carolina born and bred hubby to return to Buffalo to raise their kids and live out their lives. He’s still not sure what he was thinking.
