Happiness-Brought to you by #Dessert and #France Character Interview with @Luanna_Stewart

I'm super excited to have fellow Maine author Luanna Stewart on my blog today. Actually, it's not Luanna but Heather James, the heroine in her hot romantic suspense, Portrait of a Girl.  ​

Marianne: Let's start by talking about food. What’s your favorite restaurant?
Heather: 
I judge a restaurant on its dessert menu – there should be at least two chocolate options, and everything needs to be made in-house. 

Marianne: Oh, I'm with you there! Chocolate brings me much happiness. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Heather: Perfect happiness for me would be a well-equipped kitchen, and someone to clean up after my baking marathons.
 
Marianne: Ha ha! When and where were you happiest? 
Heather: Aside from right now, I was happiest when travelling through Europe with Mom and Daddy. They knew the best places to eat!
 
Marianne: Which talent would you most like to have?
Heather: I would love to be able to draw (more than a stick figure) or paint with watercolors. Even the paint-by-numbers I did as a child were a mess.
 
Marianne: If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?
Heather:
 I’d choose to be reincarnated as a pampered cat. My kitty, Samson, has nothing to complain about.

Marianne: Where would you most like to live?

Heather: Despite my recent experiences, I want to live in France, in a small town. My house would be old, with lots of character, and I’d live next door to a charming café.
 
Marianne: Sounds utterly relaxing! So, we know you have a sweet tooth and would love to live in France. What is your favorite occupation?
Heather: 
My favorite occupation is baking. I bake every day. If I’m not baking, I’m thinking about baking. Right now I’m experimenting with sticky buns, all sorts of different fillings. In fact, I have the most delicious brioche dough rising so I have to run. Great meeting you! Bye!

​Portrait of a Girl:
 
When her wealthy art dealer father died, Heather James was expecting a fortune. Instead, his bank account was empty and Heather’s working in a bakery, wondering exactly what happened to her father's millions...until someone tries to kill her.
 
Tony Simons is on the trail of an art theft cold case that's practically giving him frostbite. He's hoping that by sticking close to Heather—the daughter of his deceased prime suspect—he'll find the answers he needs. Instead, he's finding himself distracted by a gorgeous woman who drives him crazy in every way imaginable…
 
Now Tony's in serious trouble. Even if Heather can't—or won't—tell him where the stolen paintings and money are, she may well have stolen his heart.
 
And now someone wants her dead…

Luanna Stewart has been creating adventures for her imaginary friends since childhood. As soon as she discovered her grandmother's stash of romance novels, all plots had to lead to a happily-ever-after.
 
Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Luanna now lives in Maine with her dear husband, two college boys, and two cats. When she's not torturing her heroes and heroines, she’s in her kitchen baking something delicious.
 
Writing under the pen name Grace Hood, she has two novellas published with The Wild Rose Press. She is excited to have a book published under her own name with Entangled Publishing.

Good morning! Thanks so much for having me visit today, Marianne. Heather's in the kitchen, but she sends her thanks as well. And wants to remind everyone to toast your nuts before using to really bring out the flavour. (She's still experimenting with sticky buns. I don't know how she stays so slender.)
