Love, Always

by Yessi Smith  

**This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for readers under the age of 17.**

In love with a man on the brinks of greatness, Dee has her life figured out. The love they share is comparable only to the love they feel when they find out Dee is pregnant. Josh and Dee welcome their future together with eagerness as they plan a wedding, baby, and the upcoming tour for Josh’s band Wasted Circle. Big things are finally happening.

During Wasted Circle’s first big show, tragedy strikes leaving Dee alone. The life she and Josh planned for ends up being nothing but desolate promises. Unable to watch his best friend’s girlfriend drown under her own despair any longer, Adam steps in to help Dee cope with her loss and the upcoming birth of her baby. Adam is patient, kind and unrelenting. He stands by her side, never faltering despite his growing desire to be more than Dee’s supportive shoulder and the idea that he is betraying Josh. He refuses to give up on Dee and remains loyally by her side even when she admits herself into a psychiatric ward and he is left to father Josh and Dee’s baby.

But even sweet and sturdy Adam has his limits.

Author bio:

I’m a Hispanic living in South Florida with my redneck husband from Texas and our “half breed” son, who is actually the reason I started writing again after years of celibacy. My son loves stories, but not the kind you can read in an existing book. No, he’d rather make up a story, complete with our own illustrations. So, thank you, Son, for igniting a flame I had let go out.
I also live with two dogs: a neurotic Border Collie we call Nitro and a midget Rottweiler named Nisa.
I have always found my sanctuary at the beach and in music and writing. I wish I could write rhymes so I could become a famous rapper, but rhyming is completely lost on me. My son surpassed me in the rhyming game by the time he was four. This is something I am very proud of.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s in Human Resource Management. I have held several jobs, from picking up dog poop to upper management positions. And now I am hoping to leave the business world behind so I can live full time in a world that does not exist until I place my fingers on a keyboard and bring them to fruition.
I published my first book Life’s A Cappella last year.

Interview With Yessi Smith:

1. Can you tell us a little about your book?

**This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for readers under the age of 17.**

But even sweet and sturdy Adam has his limits

2. Do you prefer writing series or standalone?

I definitely prefer standalones. 

  

3. Shouted Love is on Wattpad, will it eventually be published in other places?

Shouted Love has gone through some changes and is now named New Forever. I actually finished writing it a couple weeks ago and it's currently with my editor and I am working with my cover designer for a cover. I'm hoping to release it sometime in March, but don't have a concrete date just yet.

4. Between Adam from Love, Always and Trent from Life's A Cappella which one is your favorite book boyfriend? 

Adam, definitely Adam. He's sweet, protective, and kind. He puts those he loves before himself but isn't a pushover.

  5. Do you have a favorite spot to write?

Not really. I'll write just about anywhere. Although since starting the third trimester in my pregnancy, I prefer to write with my feet propped up to help keep the swelling down.

  

6. Do you listen to music while you write? 

You know, it's strange. I love music, but I need complete silence when I write.

7. When did you know you wanted to write a book?

I've been writing since I was a little girl. I'd write fake news articles, short stories, comics. As I got older, I wrote and published a few articles here and there, and I continued to write my stories. I finally got the nerve to self publish after my husband told me about Colleen Hoover and read Slammed. I had already been working on Life's A Cappella for awhile, but he lit a fire under my a** and I pushed myself until it was done. I then reread it 5 millions times while my best friend read, offered suggestions, and reread it a couple dozen times with each change I'd make.

8. What's one random fact about yourself that you can share?

I laugh when I get nervous. My son once did a head dive onto our tile floor and I thought he had broken his nose, so naturally, my immediate reaction was hysterical laughter.

9. Are you attending any author signing in 2015?

I'm going to Beach Babe Book Bash in Tampa on April 11th

10. What are writing projects are you currently working on?

I'm working on two stories. One is a kidnapping story that I'm about half way done with. Unlike other kidnapping stories I've read, this one takes place after Holly escapes and follows her on her journey to get her life back in order. There will be romance, because who doesn't love romance? But it's not the main emphasis of the story. The other is a story where the male and female lead characters have known each other since they were kids, but after a rather hurtful incident that takes place in high school, neither one of them is able to admit their real feelings for each other until Yanelys announces her engagement to a man, who is good for her but simply isn't Camden.
