Synopsis:
Sadie Maxon’s almost done baking desserts and waitressing at her father’s trendy diner in Lake Geneva. She’s anxious to get back to Chicago and finish grad school. When Quinn Laughton, a contractor renovating the Wrigley mansion on the lake, offers to buy the crumbling diner, she can’t resist his deal or his sexy down-to-earth sweetness. But Sadie discovers Quinn is a member of the prestigious Wrigley family and is unsure if it was her or her family’s legendary diner that attracted Quinn. To convince Sadie of his intentions, Quinn mixes up a batch of passion and romance for her. But will Sadie’s small town sensibilities be swayed by Quinn’s big city charm?

AUTHOR BIO:

Tricia Quinnies knew, when she finished reading PERFECT by Judith McNaught, she wanted to write a romance. But, her three young sons kept her happily busy. In 2009, she carved out time for herself, usually at four in morning, and set about writing her first romance. It was a love story inspired by her college time in London, England. At last check it’s under the bed waiting for a rewrite. A few stories later she found writing contemporary romances and setting them closer to home on the shores of Lake Michigan much easier. While not writing Tricia tries to keep up with her very social teenagers, two Doxies and one husband. JUST DESSERTS is her debut novel.

I’ve probably talked before about my YA novel, penned under the moniker of Iris St. Clair. It’s contemporary and titled, Louder Than Words. You might have read a flash fiction short on my blog called The Check. That was a starter / teaser story for Louder, which obviously evolved way beyond a 1000 word flash fiction tale.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed an agreement with Swoon Romance, a digital first imprint of Month9Books, to publish Louder Than Words, probably in September 2014.

Never been in Publisher’s Marketplace before, but this deal made it:

Woo-hoo! Louder Than Words is very near and dear to my heart, and I’m so thrilled to be joining the Swoon Romance family with other wonderful authors such as Cassie Mae, author of one of my 2013 top 10 reads, Reasons I Fell For The Funny Fat Friend.

Now to get a professional author photo for Iris. Ugh. I need a makeover. I need to shave off a few decades. Watch for the new, improved me in the days ahead. Ha!
