deceit threatened to tear them apart.

fight for her future?

About Maryann Jordan:
1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
Before become a writer, I was a voracious reader. I read an average of 3 romance novels per week. I love contemporary as well as historical romance. I particularly loved the alpha males stories. When I decided to write, I knew that I needed to keep to the genre that I like to read. Therefore my books are about alpha males finding their soul-mates (all independent females, no cheating, each story has it's own HEA with no cliffhangers!)
2. Do you have any “odd” writing habits?
I use a Microsoft Surface to write and could easily take it anywhere to write, but I find that I need to be a my desk in our study, looking out of the window in front of my desk. 3. Do you listen to music while you write?
I can only listen to soft instrumental music (if I am listening to music with words, I focus on the song and not the words I am trying to write). But I am a huge country music fan and once a story is written, then when I hear certain love songs, I immediately think of my characters. (for example, Chris Young's Who I Am With You is the perfect song to Laurie's Time!)
4. When did you know you wanted to write a book?
As a child I would read a book and then make up characters that would "continue the story", often acting them out in my mind. By the time I had been reading, beta reading, editing, and blogging/reviewing for other authors, I finally decided to give the characters in my head a chance to come out! So over the holidays of 2014, I began putting words to paper.
5. What is one thing you would like to learn to do?
I do not do my own formatting, but would love to learn how to do that. Perhaps when I retire from my day job next year!
6. What's one random fact about yourself that you can share?
We lived in Cairo Egypt for 2 years while my husband worked for the embassy. I established the first tutoring program for expatriate English speaking families who had a special needs child.
7. What has been your favorite series to write, the Fairfield series or The Love's series?
The Fairfield Series will always hold a special place in my heart because these were the first characters in my head that wanted their story to be told. But the more you write, the better a writer you become so I have to say that the Love's Series is something that I am proud of.
8. What are the major differences between the two series you have written?
When writing Emma's Home, I did not start out to include a mystery. With her working in a school and Jake being a detective, it naturally fit that he would need to help her with something. Fans seem to really like that aspect of the book, so I included some mystery in each of the books in the Fairfield Series. When creating the Love's Series, I wanted a darker, more suspenseful romance. The heroes are a little more intense, with issues of their own. The Love's Series still follows my same genre of alpha males, strong females, friendship, hot sex, no cliffhangers and each story has its own HEA.
9. What do you do when you are not writing?
I am a full time high school counselor, having spent almost 30 in education. Other than that, my writing is my passion!
10. What are writing projects are you currently working on?
I have just completed the 2nd book in The Love's Series ( Love's Tempting) and in the process of editing it now. I have the 3rd book outlined. I will be taking a couple from the Fairfield Series and have them in a novella that will go into an anthology with some other author friends for Valentine's day.
