Welcome Today's Featured Author Ren Alexander!!
Chasing the Wild Sparks
Throwing down the gauntlet has never been so wild.
Thirty-something paralegal, Hadley Beckett and charismatic, local sportscaster/daredevil, Finn Wilder, disagree about how they should share their lives together. Having been together for three years, Finn increasingly pressures Hadley to move in with him, but being unusually traditional, she wants to be married first, adhering to her moral beliefs, just as he clings to his own religious upbringing when it comes to procreating with her. Each are unwilling to negotiate or concede marriage to the other. Complicating matters is Finn’s seemingly double life, keeping his private life hidden to the point of convincing his viewers—Finnatics—and even his coworkers, he’s single, amid Hadley’s objections. Yet despite their immense disparities, they are determined to make their relationship work, even if it means Hadley has to take their future into her own hands.
Then again, Finn Wilder has his own story to tell.

Daring the Wild Sparks
In the follow-up to “Chasing the Wild Sparks,” Hadley Beckett’s quest for wedded bliss perseveres…
Hadley makes plans concerning her future with her sportscaster/daredevil boyfriend Finn Wilder.
Big plans.
Infamously anti-marriage, Finn promised Hadley he’d consider taking her to the altar if she gives him more time. Diving headfirst and with encouragement from her friends, Hadley concocts her own way to handle Finn if he can't commit to
her soon.
Knowing she has an uphill climb ahead of her, Hadley is still determined to succeed, yet is she unwittingly destined to fail?

Igniting the Wild Sparks
In the second follow up to “Chasing the Wild Sparks,” Hadley Beckett comes closer to triumphing over a reluctant Finn Wilder…
What would you do if the love of your life gave you the keys to the kingdom, but won’t let you in?
At the end of her rope, Hadley grabs her intrepid boyfriend Finn Wilder’s world by the…bridge. Finally ready to end the never-ending merry-go-round that is their unknotted life together, she enlists the help of her friends to help boost her own courage. Since Finn is all about walking on the wild side but not down an aisle, Hadley challenges him to the ultimate test that will prove her more daring than the daredevil himself, hoping Finn will take notice and change his mind about making her forever his.
Throwing down the irrevocable gauntlet, will Hadley celebrate supreme victory over his heart or will she accept the cruelest defeat at the very hand she holds?

Interview With Ren Alexander:
1.
Can you tell us a little about your books?
My Wild Sparks series centers on paralegal Hadley Beckett’s quest to nail down her long-term sportscaster/daredevil boyfriend, Finn Wilder, in holy matrimony. Unfortunately, Finn’s greatest fear is marriage. The
series takes the reader on a journey of their relationship, and Hadley’s daredevilish adventure of her own.
2.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
Picking a favorite is hard! But if I must, it’d be a tossup between Beckoning the Wild Sparks, and The Keys to Jericho.
3.
Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I wish I had a structured day! I write when the mood strikes me. It can never feel forced or it will show in the story. If I don’t write for months, then that’s the way it goes for me. Lately, I’m having trouble
staying focused. Not a good thing, of course, but I’m still searching for that motivation potion.
4.
Do you listen to music while you write?
Yep. It has to be the book’s playlist to keep me in the mood and moment. Most often, I’m listening to a song on constant repeat until I’m finished with the scene or mood. Yes. It gets tiring.
5.
Do you have a favorite spot to write?
My desk in my office.
6.
When you write do you write the first draft on a computer or paper and pen?
Computer. I rewrite and edit as I go. It’s more organic for me if the story keeps that flow, instead of coming from another place and then rewriting later.
7.
If your fairy godmother waved her wand and whisked you away to the location of your choice, which place would you choose, and why?
I love the Gulf of Mexico. Pass-a-Grille has one of the best places for shell hunting! The water is so clear and the shells are phenomenal! One of my favorite places.
8.
What are writing projects are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on my seventh novel, an offshoot of my Wild Sparks series. Greg Rodwell is getting his own book, Unscrewed. Hopefully, I’ll have a 2018 release date soon!
