Welcome Indie Author Christy Hayes!

Christy and I have gotten to know each other on the Indie Romance loop, and I’m excited to introduce her to you!
Please comment for a chance to win her book!
- What was the inspiration for this book? My latest release, The Sweetheart Hoax, is based on a character from Heart of Glass, architect Phil Williams. I loved his character in Heart of Glass and wanted to explore his story and help him find his Happy Ever After ending. I really enjoyed writing a book about Phil and his mousy receptionist-turned feisty nurse, Margot Manning.
- What’s next for you? I am thrilled to have a short story in the upcoming WG2E’s All for Indies Valentine Anthology entitled Good Luck, Bad Timing, & When Harry Met Sally. I’ve also begun a still untitled work in progress that I’m quite excited about completing.
- When you’re procrastinating, what do you do? Check email, shop, talk on the phone.
- How many books in your TBR pile? Too many to count. Buying books with my eReader is way too easy!
- What’s your biggest guilty pleasure? Reading—of course, but also ice cream!
- Name 3 of your favorite things. Animate things are my family, friends, and dogs. Inanimate things are books, TV, and exercise. I’m pretty boring!
- Where can readers find you? Readers can check out my books and find out a little about me at my website, http://www.christyhayes.com. I also blog every other Monday at http://www.womenunplugged.wordpress.com. I’m on Twitter @SeaHayes.

I’d buy the book on the title alone. Did you come up with the title or story idea first?

The story idea, Linda. I’m terrible at titles and almost always choose them after the story is written.

Good luck with your new release, Christy. Sounds like my kind of story. I choose my titles before during and after, lol.

Titles are as challenging as covers, Livia! Hope you have a great day!

I had to leave a comment about the cover, too.
Very movie-poster-ish! 
I’m going to check out the book.

That was the look he was going for with the cover!
