We believe in Fern Ronay...plus a book giveaway

We're pleased to welcome Fern Ronay back to CLC today. Her sophomore novel, Better Believe It, published last week. Fern has one e-book copy for a lucky reader!

Fern Ronay has lived in NYC, Chicago, and now sunny Los Angeles with her husband, but she will always consider herself a Jersey girl. She is the author of two novels, Better in the Morning and Better Believe It, and is the host of the podcast Signs from the Other Side, as well as a host at Maria Menounos's AfterBuzzTV network.

Synopsis:
Jada Marlone’s life appears to be perfect on social media. She has a loving husband, a beautiful child, and a successful career. What she doesn’t post about is the disconnect she feels in her marriage, the difficulties of motherhood, and her strained relationship with her mother.

Resigned to never being truly happy, Jada runs into an ex-boyfriend. While trying to decide whether the coincidence is her second chance at happiness, Jada begins having dreams that feature her dead cousin Gina.


With Gina’s help, Jada starts to uncover the real reasons behind her life decisions. As Jada tries to figure out her future, uncontrollable events threaten her resolve. Will she be able to draw from all she learned from Gina, or will she risk making the same mistakes twice?


What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?
"I believe in signs now and look for them in my own life."

What is something you learned from writing Better in the Morning that you applied to Better Believe It?
I talk to myself! Saying dialogue aloud is how I make sure it sounds natural for the character and delivered in the way they would say it.

How are you similar to or different from Jada?
Jada and I are very different in the sense that Jada is snobby and rather judgmental of her own family and others (Don't worry, life kicks her in the butt and she evolves). We are similar in the sense that Jada and I both can't stand to see anyone treated unfairly and have a keen desire to see justice served.

What is your favorite winter holiday beverage?
Skinny Eggnog Latte

What is your favorite Christmas song?
"Baby Please Come Home" by Darlene Love

What is the best gift you gave someone last year?
A whole lot of nothing! A while ago, the adults in my family decided that for us, the gift is spending time together, eating delicious food, playing games and laughing - some of our favorite things.

Thanks to Fern for visiting with us and for sharing her book with our readers.
