SNIPPET #1
To hear that she had six months to change her lifestyle or go on medication wasn’t the best news McKinley Graham could’ve received from her doctor’s appointment, but it was in no way the worst.
SNIPPET #2
Zane set McKinley on her feet and stood up. He placed his forehead to hers and closed his eyes. “We’d better stop, before I ignore the reason I came looking for you in the first place.” There was a jagged scar on his right cheek. Not that it mattered. As far as she was concerned, that little dink in his body amour was totally appealing. He was still spectacular.
Interview with McKinley Graham the main character in a Summer of Stars
1. What is your favorite food?
Pancakes are my all-time favorite. I’d eat pancakes over a Ribeye steak any day…and I LOVE Ribeye steaks!
2. What is your favorite past time, or hobby?
My favorite pastime is now officially line dancing. Who knew I’d love it as much as I do!?
3. What is your favorite book?
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I read it every year for my birthday.
4. Do prefer to plan things, or be spontaneous?
Six months ago, I would’ve definitely said planning things…but since having to modify my lifestyle…well, let’s just say I’ve found a spontaneous streak I didn’t know I had.
5. Who is your hero/heroine?
My grandmothers. They were amazing, phenomenal women
6. What one thing do you wish you could tell your past self?
Relax, Relate, Release! Worry less…be more.
7. Did you struggle to tell your author anything?
Actually no, Lisa was pretty good about letting me have room to tell my own story. She did find it bizarre that Zane gave me his family crab sauce recipe and not her. He’s seriously got some explaining to do!
8. What is your favorite part of your story?
My first kiss with Zane. That told me all I needed to know. It still gives me goosebumps.
9. What inspired the title of your story?
My night time stroll with Zane on the beach. I’ve never seen so many stars. Being able to stop, and live in the moment…it was such a magical night, and I didn’t want it to end. Now that moment is immortalized forever. That’s pretty neat.
10. Do you think that there is a specific message to your story, that you’d like your readers to learn?
Absolutely. It’s never too late to put your head up and live. To not let life pass you by because you think you’re too busy to enjoy it. Stop and appreciate all that life, people and love have to offer.
