So, please join me in
welcoming Bethany to the blog. Without further ado…
I recently noticed on your
bio that you began self-publishing in 2011. If my math is correct, you have
twelve titles out. So awesome! What’s your secret to such productivity?
Bethany: In the beginning my books
were much shorter! J They are still quick reads, but my
Melissa series and Friends & Lovers Trilogy are all novella length books,
so that probably helps.
Can you share some information about your latest, 42 Hours? It’s the third book in your Time for Love series. Will
there be more?
Bethany: Yes, book 4, 15 Minutes, is releasing on November 4, and book 5, 10 Years, is scheduled for Feb 3, 2015. It is a series, but each book focuses on a different couples romance, so they can be read as stand alones.
Some additional information:
About 42 Hours
Eight years ago, Scott and Gaby shared one very special night. Not wanting to ruin their friendship, they didn't take things further...but neither of them has forgotten.
When Scott’s friends stage an intervention to make him realize that his fiancé, Victoria, is all wrong for him, he takes time to evaluate his life. He’s earned a big promotion and just bought his dream car, but those things are just superficial. The one time he was truly happy, was with Gaby.
Gaby is in a good place in her life. She loves her job, has the best friends and family a girl could ask for, and is dating a sweet and sexy guy, but she’s never stopped thinking about that night with Scott.
Eager to find happiness again, Scott makes a plan to win Gaby’s heart during a weekend getaway, but she doesn’t want to be his rebound girl. Will 42 hours be enough to convince Gaby that it's finally their time for love?

So looking forward to diving into this series. I noticed in your bio that
you love to travel. So far, what have been your top three favorite places to
visit, and have you ever written a location in one of your novels?
Bethany: I would have to say Italy,
Scotland, and Costa Rica are three of my favorites so far. I haven’t written
any of the locations in yet. I’ve stuck to either unknown locations, or cities
that I’ve lived in.
Actually, my husband and I went to Costa Rica for our 15th wedding anniversary, and it's my favorite so far. So, I'm in total agreement on that one. I also loved Italy. Guess I'll have to try Scotland now. But, back to the interview... Your daughter was so
excited to be at UtopYA and was so wonderful to hang out with my daughter. Do
you two share similar reading tastes? Does she get to early read your novels?
Bethany: She gets to early read my
YA books, but not my romance titles. We do have some similar tastes, but she is
heavy into Paranormal, while I tend to read a lot of Contemporary.
My daughter is a huge fan of Paranormal as well. UtopYA2014 was so amazing, and I can't wait for UtopYA2015. What do you think makes
UtopYA so special?
Bethany Lopez: The people. Hands down.
From Janet, to all of the volunteers, to the amazing authors, UtopYA is an
event for people who love to read. It’s like spending a long weekend with
family.
