The Formidable Earl by Sophie Barnes - Book Tour + Giveaway
Regency Romance
Release Date: November 17, 2020
He's breaking the rules for one woman, and coming dangerously close to falling in love...
Simon Nugent, Earl of Fielding, knows he's flawed. He's arrogant, possessive, and haunted by a terrible choice he made long ago. So when a former friend's daughter gives him the chance to do a good deed, he grabs it. Except he'd like to grab her as well and teach her a thing or two about kissing. If only she weren't so damn stubborn.
Ida Strong wants one thing - justice on behalf of her father. She has no room for anything else, in spite of her growing and (at times) inexplicable attraction toward a certain earl. But for a woman who knows what betrayal tastes like, placing her trust in others is hard. Risking her heart, would be downright foolish. Until it's the only thing that seems to make sense.

Author Interview
1. What would you
consider to be your Kryptonite as an author?
Social media and incoming emails that take me away from the writing. If I’m on
deadline I’ll often set my laptop in flight mode to avoid distractions.
2. If you could tell
your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
Don’t be afraid of Self-Publishing.
3. What book do you
feel is under-appreciated? How about overrated?
Under-appreciated: I’m not sure if it’s under-appreciated or not but I really
enjoyed The Physician by Noah Gordon. Fantastic book!
Overrated: The Lord
of the Flies. I have a personal vendetta against that particular book.
4. Favorite childhood
memory involving books?
My mom reading bedtime stories for me.
5. Did you want to be
an author when you grew up?
No. I wanted to be a costume designer.
6. What’s one movie
you like recommending to others?
Just one? That’s hard. Let’s go with The Age of Adeline.
7. If you could own
any animal as a pet, what would it be?
A bichon frise
8. Have you ever met
anyone famous?
Yes. I’ve met many famous authors, like Julia Quinn and Eloisa James, who are
both as lovely as the characters they write.
9. How long, on
average, does it take you to write a book?
Roughly two months

Make a writing schedule for yourself and stick to it.

ReplyDeleteGreat post and I appreciate getting to find out about another great book. Thanks for all you do and for the hard work you put into this. Greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
