My Fun Author Interview with Chrissy Peebles

Let's learn about the "FUN" side of Melisa Hamling. She is the cool author of Twenty Weeks.

Welcome to "FUN" Interviews, Melisa. Please tell me about your book.

* Twenty Weeks is my debut novel.
* To sum it up in less than twenty words: An unplanned pregnancy. A friend's devastation. Maya's life teeters on a single decision. Will she get a second chance?

What's your next project?

*Working on an Adult Romance Novel: Of Love and Deception.
Excerpt: ~From conception to deception~

Daniella believed her life was on track. She was married to the wonderful Cruz Canton who wooed her, charmed her and surprised her with gifts and roses. He’d had something delivered to her workplace daily. He didn’t give up until she finally agreed to go on a date with him. Sure, he was handsome, delicious even. Okay! He was damn hot.

Meg and Falcon Landers, longtime friends of Cruz, and now Daniella, were more like family. Trust was never an issue . . . or was it? Daniella would soon learn the truth about the man who wooed her, the man she loved, the man she once swore ‘til death do us part’ to.

The beloved Cruz Canton. A man she no longer knew. Friends she no longer knew. Daniella was left with disturbing questions—why? And why now? They were finally pregnant. Their best friends were the reason she was able to conceive Cruz’s much wanted child, but they were now the knife that twisted in Daniella’s heart.

Daniella wasn’t about to give up until she got the answers she deserved to know. She’d get more than she bargained for and left with a deeper, darker question. Who’s child was carrying?
