Seven and a Half Minutes by Roxana Valea - Book Tour
Seven and
a Half Minutes. The Polo Diaries Book 3
Before
Roxy found herself “Single in Buenos Aires,” she was a single girl in London in
search of true love. The third installment of The Polo Diaries series takes us
back to that time, and we follow Roxy as she hires a love coach to help her
navigate the dating scene. But the love coach comes up with an unexpected
assignment: reconnect to a long-forgotten passion. For Roxy this means horses.
Within weeks, she finds herself playing polo, thanks to a series of unforeseen
events.
Torn
between her desire to become the best polo player she can be and the dream of
falling in love, Roxy steps fully into the exciting and demanding world of
polo, where injury and recovery mix with hard training, and where celebrating
the victory of a tournament comes at a high price. Will Roxy eventually become
the polo player she dreams to be? And with polo being such a demanding sport,
can there be any space left for love?

Author Q&A
1. How do you
select the names of your characters?
I mostly write about real life and some names
in my books are real (if I got permission to use them). Others, I make up to
resemble as much as possible a real person I have in mind. I believe life beats
fiction and I inspire all my books from real life.
2. What creature
do you consider your "spirit animal" to be?I am a shamanic practitioner trained in the Peruvian
shamanic practices. We believe in and work with spirit animals a lot. We don’t
have only one spirit animal there are various power animals that come to us as different
times to bring us back instincts that we have forgotten. But if I were to chose
one spirit animal it would be a swan.
3. What fictional
character would you want to be friends with in real life?Clare from the Outlander series. A remarkable
woman full of skill, knowledge and wisdom. Someone who’s not afraid to go past
the boundaries of comfort to follow the call of her destiny.
4. What book do
you wish you had written?The Outlander series – I love these books! The
level of detail in the writing and the twists of the plot are amazing.
5. What is your favourite genre to read?Historical romance. It’s the best beach read
and as I live part time in Spain I do a lot of beach reading!
