Author
Bio:
Contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.
Her second book, a holiday novella titled "The Christmas Cottage" hit #10 on Amazon's Best Seller List on Christmas Eve. It was a great Christmas gift! Watching the numbers rise and fall is a daily roller coaster ride but definitely an exciting one! And on February 25th, she released the follow up novella - "Ever After" - available exclusively on Amazon.
In March 2013, "The Christmas Cottage" was nominated for two Indie Romance Convention Award - Best Indie Romance Novella and Best Indie Contemporary Romance while Samantha was nominated for Indie Author of the Year!
Currently, “Catering to the CEO” – her fourth book - is available exclusively to Amazon for Kindle and is a full-length novel. Next up is a trilogy called “The Montgomery Brothers” and book one, “Wait for Me” is available in eBook format for both Kindle and Nook.
What sparked your interest in becoming a romance
writer? I’ve been reading romances since
the age of 13 and discovered way before that how much I enjoyed writing. It seemed like a natural fit. It just took me a really long time before I
had the confidence to do anything about it.
Tell us 5 surprising things about yourself. I am a HUGE Disney fanatic; not the
movies/animation but a Disney World fanatic.
I’d go there several times a year if I could! I wanted to be a Rockette for the longest
time! I loathe fruit of any kind. I get excited and sing (badly) at the top of
my lungs any time the Jackson 5 come on the radio. And finally…I still harbor my greatest
childhood fear – the cartoon, Underdog.
Still gives me nightmares!
What is your writing environment. I live in a VERY small house and my primary
computer and desk is in the corner of my dining room. I wear a pair of my husband’s hunting
headphones – the noise canceling ones – to block out the household noise.
Do you plan all your characters out before you
start a story or do they develop as you write?
They definitely develop as I write.
I have a general idea of their basic personalities but it’s fun to
really watch them flesh out as the story evolves.
Which authors have caught your interest lately?
Why? I have been all over the place on
that one. I do a lot of stuff with Susan
Mallery and love her work. I enjoy Jill
Shalvis and Kristan Higgans but I’ve really gotten into Bella Andre and Kate
Perry’s stuff.
Top three things on your bucket list. To go to Australia, to drive cross country
and to have a book on the New York Times best seller list!
What is your favorite scene in your new
release? Hmmm…a favorite scene? I think I enjoy all of them where Adam is out
of his comfort zone with Cassie and her family.
I love picturing the alarm and panic he feels when he’s out of his
comfort zone. I think the first time he
shows up at Cassie’s place and she cooks dinner for him is one of my favorites,
though. He’s drawn to her but he doesn’t
understand why and by the time he leaves, his carefully organized and
structured world starts to crumble a little.

Which actor or book character do you have a crush on? Book:
Simon Bradley from Susan Mallery’s “Only Yours” and Malcolm Kavanaugh

LOVE those guys! Actors? I don’t think I’m crushing on anyone
currently! Although my teen crush on
Roger Taylor from Duran Duran lives on!
What does love feel like? Happiness and contentment
rolled into one
Hey, baby! What’s your sign? Sagitarius
When was your last kiss? Ten minutes ago after my
hubby helped me color my hair!
What’s an absolute no-no in a relationship? Lying
How did you meet your significant other? I was friends with his younger sister and I
met him at her college graduation party
What’s your idea of a perfect date? Dinner and LOTS of conversation
If you could take a romantic trip, where would it
be? A cabin in the mountains with a roaring fire and snow outside – doesn’t
matter geography-wise – just cabin and mountains.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Absolutely!
That’s how it was with my husband of 24
years!
