The Letter by Marianne Spitzer Giveaway and Interview


Blurb:
THE LETTER is the story of a betrayal that wasn’t. Even so, it still tore apart two lovers for eleven years.

On the eve of their wedding, Michael Jeffres, Earl of Daventry, found his betrothed— the woman who meant as much to him as the air he breathed—in bed with his cousin, Leo. Diana remembers nothing of that night. All she knows is that she was forced to marry Leo and then spent the next eleven years in hell.

When the two lovers are brought back together by a letter from Leo a year after his death, Michael and Diana must struggle through all the lies and secrets before they can find a love that far surpasses the one of their youth.


Author Bio:
Sandra lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Most days, you can find her with her fingers on a keyboard, her mind in the world of her imagination. It's a land where romance and happy endings exist, a land where anything is possible.
When her husband can drag her away from her computer, she likes to travel with her very own hero in their RV, but she always brings her laptop. There are still stories to write, after all.
A few highlights of Sandra's life she fondly recalls are jumping out of a plane, flying upside down in a stunt plane, and riding her Harley in the mountains of Southern California and along the coast of Maine. She's managed a private airport and held the position of General Manager of a Harley-Davidson dealership.
Although those events in her life were great fun, nothing compares to the joy and satisfaction she gets from writing her stories.

Interview with Deal Sharing Aunt


1.     Have you ever gotten or given a love letter?

Both. My favorite is one my husband wrote early in our marriage. I still have it these many years later. I got it out to read again as I write this. Out of the four pages, this is the part I love best:

 In the beginning, I felt very close to you, but now I can’t tell where I stop and you begin. We are truly an extension of each other and that’s beautiful.

Reading his words still makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

2.     What is your favorite love letter of all time?

I absolutely adore the one Johnny Cash wrote to his wife June. The last line makes me break out in a smile.

Hey June,

That’s really nice June. You’ve got a way with words and a way with me as well.

The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don’t go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.

Love John

3.     Was it hard to write about a letter within a book?

The letter the book is based on is actually not a love letter, but a letter from an evil man whose vile scheme tore apart two lovers for eleven years. The letter is delivered after his death to my hero, turning his life upside down.  I woke up one morning with the entire letter in my head so I can’t claim beginning the book was hard. In an effort to win back the woman he lost, the hero, Michael, uses humor in his love letters to her at the end of the book.

4.     Will there be a sequel?

THE LETTER is a single title, but the characters from all three of my      Regencies, including THE TRAINING OF A MARQUESS and KATIE,      LOVE (working title) make appearances in each other’s books.

5.     What would you like your readers to know?

That I love hearing from them.  KATIE, LOVE is actually my first Regency, one I’d put aside. After receiving emails asking for the Duke of Aubrey’s story, I’ve pulled it out and am now revising it to submit to my publisher.  It’s because of those requests that I’m back working on a story I thought only friends and family would ever read. Letters (emails) from readers who write to tell me how much they enjoyed one of my books are the second best kind love letters (the first being from your very own hero).

Thank you so much for sharing this time with me. I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
