Author Interview

Life Is What It's Called - What's your next project?, Why did you decide to start this series?, What do you hope readers will gain?
Jen Geigle Johnson - I always have something exciting on the horizon. A Foreign Crown will be launching in August. Regency Royals, a lady in waiting to Queen Charlotte. Pirates and travel on the ocean. I’m in love with this book. I’m currently working on a story set in 1900. My character travels from London to Paris to Salzburg. It’s a team effort. Four Covenant Authors writing a series together. I’m really excited about these. I’m working on this particular series, Her Lady’s Whims and Fancies and I’m getting deeper and deeper into their lives and this castle and the mystery surrounding their family. I love it all. I can’t wait for you to become best friends with each sister. 

Life Is What It's Called - Why did you write this series?
Jen Geigle Johnson - I wanted to create a family of sisters we could all follow and love. I wanted to show loyalty and good choices and noble men and fascinating settings. I wanted to have fun. This series is light. It’s escapism. It’s romance at its finest. In a world where life is hard, I wanted to provide a break.


Review
The Earl's Winning Wager is a fun, lighthearted read with fascinating characters. Each of the sisters has their own talents and personalities that blend well-together. The story is a sweet romance. It's a light read. It's not as descriptive or as developed as some of her other novels, but it's a clean romance that a reader can use as an escape. It would be appropriate for teens and adults to read. The book is the second in a series following The Duke's Second Chance. I would recommend reading these books in order. Several of the characters are introduced in the first book. It will be interesting to see what happens next in this series. Learn more here.

Excerpt

Ric pressed the intercom button to speak with his assistant. “Yes, Marta.”

 “Sir, there’s a woman on the other line. She’s calling about your uncle’s house.”

 “My uncle?” Uncle Giuseppe had passed close to a year ago, leaving his entire estate to Ric.

 “Yes, sir. It sounds serious.”

 Alarm shot through him. He knew possessing a now vacant house might cause some security issues, but he wasn’t ready to part with it. For some reason he wasn’t willing to examine too closely, he had an attachment to the place.

 Ric checked his cell phone. There hadn’t been any alerts from the alarm system. How could that be?
Still, he didn’t have time for problems. There were only a couple of hours before his very important business dinner—a meeting that had taken months to arrange. But he couldn’t just ignore this call. “Put her through.”

 He’d speak to the woman. Surely it was nothing important. And then he’d be back on track. Everything would work out.

 In no time, an older woman came on the phone. “Ric, is that you?”

 He smiled, remembering his uncle’s neighbor, the kindly woman who’d offered him cookies still warm from the oven when he was young. “Mrs. Russo?”

 “Yes. It’s me. Pardon me for bothering you at the office, but I thought you’d want to know there’s a young woman snooping around your uncle’s house.”

 “Is she trying to break in?”

 “I don’t think so. But I can’t be sure. She’s moved to the back, and I can’t see her now.”

 His office wasn’t far away. “I’ll be right there.”

 And with that he ended the call. He rushed to his car, anxious to catch this intruder. He wanted to stop them from doing any damage to his uncle’s estate.

 He went to call the police but then hesitated. Calling them would draw media attention, and he’d had more than his share in recent weeks. He’d check out the situation and then decide if the authorities needed to be called in.

 In no time, his midnight blue sporty coupe rolled to a stop in front of the house. From the front, nothing looked disturbed.

 However, Mrs. Russo had indicated the person was making her way around the house. Being that it was quite a large place, he would need to make the rounds in order to surmise if the intruder was still there.

 He stepped out of his car. Immediately, Mrs. Russo came rushing out of her house. He waved her off, signaling for her to go back inside until he had the situation under control.

 It could be as simple as a salesperson, but then why would they have ventured around the house? Ric moved carefully and quietly. He wasn’t about to engage the intruder if they were armed. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t witness what they were up to so he could report it to the police.

 As he neared the back of the house, he noticed a young woman in a flowy white-and-aqua top. White capris clung to her curves and a coordinating purse completed the summer outfit. As his gaze lowered, he noticed she only wore one high heel. As she hopped around on one foot, he noticed the other aqua heel, which appeared to be stuck between two cobblestones.

 Her face was turned away from him. She had short, dark, spiky hair. If she was a burglar, she was an awful one. First, that summer outfit was bright and eye-catching. And those shoes, wow, how could anyone walk in them? Well, obviously she couldn’t, or she wouldn’t be hopping around on one foot. Whoever this woman was, she certainly seemed quite harmless.

 Ric stepped into the backyard. “What are you doing here?”
