One of These Nights . . .

Wild Women Authors is pleased to welcome long time friend and writer pal, dating back to our NJRW and Liberty States days, Roni Denholtz who celebrates the release TODAY!!! of One Of These Nights, a historical novel out of Wild Rose Press. Welcome, Roni. First up is Drew Covington.

Where are you from? Twin Bridges, NJ (but my parents came from England)

Tell us a bit about One of These Nights. My brother was murdered. I’ve been conducting séances so that I can speak to him and learn the identity of the killer—and see that justice is done.

What did you think the first time you saw Violet Moore. I thought she was beautiful, and younger than I expected.

What was your second thought? She seemed intelligent and well-read.

Did you feel it was love at first sight? Not at first, but I was attracted to her and liked her immediately. Love grew quickly, although I didn’t recognize it at first.

What do you like most about her? Violet is smart, sweet, and very caring.

How would you describe Violet? She is a pretty young woman who is smart, a great research assistant, and cares for others and is kind.

How would she describe you? She probably would say I’m smart but a little scattered.

What made you choose running the family business for a career? I run the family business, but I’m more interested in the inventing aspects of the shoe and boot business than in the sales and business side of Covington Shoes and Boots.

What is your biggest fear? That I won’t be able to contact my brother, Charles, and bring his killer to justice.

How do you relax? I enjoy reading and going for walks. I like doing research.

Who is your favorite fictional character? Well, I correspond sometimes with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so I like Sherlock Holmes.

What is the best piece of advice you ever received? Keep careful notes so you can repeat successes and avoid things that don’t work.

Thanks for taking time away from your research to talk with us, Drew. We'd now like to talk to Roni. What movies or books have had an impact on your career as a writer? I loved reading the early “gothic” romantic suspense novels by Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, Phyllis A. Whitney and Barbara Michaels. But what really hooked me on reading and inspired me to write were the Nancy Drew book and other girls’ series!

What event in your private life were you able to bring to this story and how do you feel it impacted the novel? I have been to a couple of séances—one which seemed real, one which didn’t. But I think what impacted me more, was that I saw a ghost--my husband’s distant cousin on the night he passed—before we knew he had passed.

Tell us a bit about your publisher: how did you hear about them and what influenced your decision to submit to them? The Wild Rose Press. I have one book with them already, and I have read a number of their books and enjoyed them. I also learned they were doing a series of books with ghosts.

What book[s] currently rest on your TBR pile? A couple of Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters romantic suspense novels (these include ghosts); a few regency romances by Kelly Bowen and Sally MacKenzie; and a few Wild Rose Press books by different authors such as Jennifer Wilck and Maria Alexander. And a few cowboy romances by Delores Fossen and Carolyn Brown.

Lastly, what's up next and when can we expect to see it on the shelves? I have two novellas coming out this fall, one in Carolyn Brown’s Blame it on Texas Kindle World; and one in Roxanne St. Claire’s Barefoot Bay Kindle World.
