Gateway to Wine Country: Newberg, Oregon
Hipster coffee shops are not usually my cup of tea. You’re talking about someone so sensitive to external stimuli that she picked her gym based on its color scheme. I wasn’t built to write in a setting that requires earbuds to hear myself think—let alone the distraction of good-looking lumbersexuals in plaid shirts and neatly-trimmed beards strolling in empty-handed and leaving clutching their cups of Stumptown Holler Mountain, sending the bell above the door clanging both ways.

But on a recent book research trip to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, my Airbnb up on Ribbon Ridge had “no phone, no lights no motorcars, not a single luxury” (kidding, I had a rental car). After a few days’ solitude to edit my work-in-progress, The Crush, I needed to touch base with my editor in New York. So I asked one of the farmhands where I could go to get Online. She recommended Chapter Books and Coffee, just down the road in the town of Newberg.
Newberg is an authentic, small farming community founded by Quakers. But it gives off a vibe of being on the edge of something. Beneath the typical American Main Street lined with small businesses runs an undercurrent of change. As soon as the Newberg-Dundee Bypass is finished, the town is gearing up to take full advantage of its location as the gateway from Portland to the wine region known as the Willamette Valley.
The Willamette has the ideal, maritime climate for the finicky Pinot noir grape. Pinot has brought an influx of tourist dollars and new homes and businesses. The Newberg Downtown Coalition has a vision for Newberg to become not just a gateway, but a destination in itself, with wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and art galleries. For those who prefer finer amenities than my Airbnb offered, a world-class resort called The Allison is already getting rave reviews.

That’s how I ended up spending a couple of hours tucked into a corner of Chapters, steeped in the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee while emailing back and forth to the concrete jungle on my MacBook Air and studying the local characters. Though I’m still not a coffee shop kind of girl, that day, I felt very lucky to be there.
Heather Heyford writes contemporary romance novels set in the wine country. A Taste of Sake review: “Caution: you will love it and want to buy the whole series!” – five star amazon reviews.

Talking about Wine Country Romance with HarlequinJunkie
PLEASE SHARE A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT THIS BOOK…
If you mispronounce the name of this valley in Oregon’s wine country where The Crush is set, the locals will correct you with, “It’s Will-AM-ette, dammit!”Research for The Crush required a considerable number of wine tastings. *Sigh* it’s a tough job . . .At one winery, I was given a discount after I told them about my book because they said I was “industry.” Yay! Who knew?While trekking through the vineyards, I met another romance writer!The setting of The Crush was modeled on a gorgeous, father-daughter winery called Montinore.
WHAT FIRST ATTRACTS YOUR HERO TO THE HEROINE AND VICE VERSA?
I have to say it was lust at first sight, though Junie, my heroine, fights her attraction tooth and nail. Junie has never considered herself a beauty. On the other hand, growing up, Manolo’s three older sisters told him every day how beautiful he was. She didn’t think she could measure up.
USING JUST 5 WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HERO AND HEROINE’S LOVE AFFAIR?
Grounded girl steals rake’s heart.
The First Kiss…
…happens in a vineyard:
Wrapped in her embrace, the sun and the planets and the stars seemed to revolve around them.
His heart swelled. Tenderly, he pulled back, intending to take her in a kiss. Junie gazed up at him with soft eyes.
If she hadn’t suddenly blinked—flinched—Manolo wouldn’t even have noticed the bleating car horn.
Not now. Anytime but now.
WITHOUT REVEALING TOO MUCH, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE IN THE BOOK?
Manolo, a confirmed bachelor and ladies’ man, has designed the tasting room of Junie’s dreams for her. For the past few months they’ve been inseparable. On opening night when the whole town has turned out to christen it, his work is done. He seems about to bow out:
He took her by the shoulders, gently turned her around and nudged her toward the door. “I’ve monopolized you long enough. You belong out there.”
She stumbled forward, then stopped, turned and saw him standing there alone. Outside, the sound of raucous merriment went on unabated.
“Go on,” he said with a toss of his chin.
She felt like she was being thrown out of her own office. “Aren’t you coming?”
“This is your place, and those are your people.”
She frowned. “What about you?”
He hesitated. And then he said, “I don’t have a place.
IF YOUR BOOK WAS OPTIONED FOR A MOVIE, WHAT SCENE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO INCLUDE?
Manolo has secretly arranged for Junie and her late father’s special, father-daughter song to be played at the grand opening of her tasting room, in a ploy to reunite Junie and her distant mother:
Then a familiar piano melody filled the air.
Mom extended a graceful hand.
“What’s this?” Junie wondered aloud.
Mom’s eyes glistened. “Your father would be so proud of you. I know he would have danced with you today. But since he can’t, would you dance with me, instead?”
Junie glided into her mother’s arms. The crowd parted as mother and daughter twirled around and around, surrounded by a panorama of friendly faces.
When the song ended there was a smattering of applause and more than one person dabbing her eyes.
READERS SHOULD READ THIS BOOK …
… to laugh and cry along with Junie and Manolo on their journey.
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON? WHAT OTHER RELEASES DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR 2016?
The Crush is Book 1 of An Oregon Wine Country Romance. Unlike my Napa Wine Heiress series which could be read in any order, the three books in AOWCR work best read sequentially. Book 2, Intoxicating, is available for pre-order. Buy it now and it will be a happy surprise when it shows up on your device on 3/28/17. Book 3, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, will launch later in 2017. I’m having a blast working on the love scenes between the therapist and former special ops guy who has more issues than Vogue!

Excerpt from The Crush:
“What’s a beauty like you doing hidden away in a place like this?”
Her hands paused where they struggled against the stubborn cork. Beauty? Her? He didn’t just look like Daryl, he laid it on thick like him, too.
Stick to your script, Junie. What had they said at that free class for entrepreneurs at the Yamhill County extension? She was the one who should be asking the questions. Marketing 101.
She gave the screw a vicious twist. The cork came out with a muted pop and she began to pour the one-ounce servings used for sampling.
“How long will you be in the Willamette Valley?”
“Not long. I’m a traveling man. Just passing through.”
Lieutenant Manolo Santos was a walking, talking cliché, thanks to his good looks and bad lines.
Be nice to everyone, they said in the class. You never know who might turn out to be an ally. She clenched the bottle tighter in her moist palm, determined not to fumble under his penetrating glare, ally or not.
Sam hoisted his glass and the others followed suit. But before he could make a toast, the stranger beat him to it.
“To the Beaver State,” he said, eyes sparkling with mischief.
That brought more cautious chuckles, as her friends weighed their loyalty to her against the novelty of the suave newcomer in their midst.
Sam swirled his wineglass at eye level, checking for all the signs: color, viscosity, legs.
Rory downed his glass like cider, followed by a satisfied belch.
Junie’s heart sank. Heath was a brewer and Sam was in the wine business, like Junie. Keval was industry, too, if doing I.T. for the consortium counted. Was it too much to ask for them to appreciate what she was trying to do here? They’d tried her wine before. They knew word of mouth was everything. That’s where sales came from. But they couldn’t pass the word on how great her Pinot was if they persisted in chugging it like marathoners on Gatorade. Maybe they couldn’t handle three tastings in one day, after all.
“Yummy.” Keval licked his lips and picked up a battered copy of Wine Spectator from the bar. “Just think, Juniper. Maybe you’ll be in here someday.”
Yeah, right. She couldn’t even afford to renew her subscription.
At least Sam had the decency to give his wine time to wander around his palate, letting it speak to his taste buds. “Your wine sings, Junie.”
Junie swelled with pride. High praise, coming from Sam. But even he couldn’t seem to find her a distributor, though he’d been looking for the past couple of years.
True to his word, he spat into the receptacle provided. “Now, how about that rosé?”
Junie poised the new bottle to pour but there were only four empty glasses on the counter. She skimmed the room for the fifth, spotting it in the hand of Mr. New Jersey.
Thick, workingman’s fingers cradled her fragile stemware. Dense lashes brushed against carved cheekbones as he lowered them to gaze at the ruby liquid. Then he glanced up over the rim, catching Junie staring. “Young, bright appearance.”
He lowered his Roman nose into the bowl and sniffed, then looked up, his eyes landing in the vicinity of her chest. “Juicy plums.” He swirled and sniffed again. “And some other fruit I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.”
Junie forgot about the bottle she held poised and it sank to the bar under its own weight. “Lingonberry. It’s native to the Pacific Northwest.”
Manolo drank then. But all the while he worked her wine around in his mouth, he didn’t take his eyes off her.
The tasting room grew uncomfortably warm, despite the chilly April air. Lieutenant Manolo Santos had a politician’s command of the room. Even the guys quit horsing around in anticipation of what he would say next.
“Soft and supple, yet structurally complex. I like that.”
The breath Junie didn’t know she’d been holding whooshed out through her broad grin. This vintage was her most ambitious effort to date, and that was exactly the response she was going for!
“It’s good in a wine, too.”
Clinking Glasses with Year of the Book founder Demi Stevens
Recently Demi Stevens (genius founder of Year of the Book and all round sweetheart) and I sat down over a cup of tea. Okay, Demi had tea. I had—you guessed it. Here’s an excerpt of our chat.
Demi: As the author of five (soon to be six with the launch of INTOXICATING March 29) romances set in west coast wine country, my readers are dying to hear what inspires you!
Heather: Writing wine romances all started I when I visited northern California a few years ago. I was struck by the beauty of the landscape and the amazing wine mansions, and I began to wonder what it would be like to live there. That fired my imagination and I started taking notes. By the time I was on the plane for the trip home, I was already writing A Taste of Chardonnay, my first published book in The Napa Wine Heiresses series.
Ironically, on the heels of my first series a close relative moved to Oregon’s The Willamette Valley. While visiting her I learned that The Willamette is fast gaining fame as the best place in the entire world to grow the finicky pinot noir grape. Of course, while I was there I had to sample the Kool-Aid ***back of palm to forehead*** Alas, the perils of being a romance writer . . . and now you might happen to find a few empty bottles of Erath in my weekly recycling bin.
A few things to know should you find yourself in Oregon. First, pronounce it wrong and the locals will be quick to tell you “it’s Will-AM-ette, dammit.” Second, Oregon wine country is said to be much like Napa was twenty-five years ago: rustic and unspoiled. One way it is different, however, is that Willamette vintners are dedicated to doing all things as organically as possible. In fact, many if not most winegrape growers there subscribe to biodynamic farming principles. In other words, they bury cow horns full of quartz crystals in the middle of their vineyards on the summer solstice. Those kind of details are like a gift from the gods when it comes time to sit down at the keyboard. They are richly sprinkled throughout my current release, The Crush!
Demi: Kensington, parent company of your publisher Lyrical Press, made a splash last summer with the news that they were going to launch a line of mass market paperbacks. (And a little birdie tells me you may have been selected as one of their debut authors!) What does this mean for your career?
Heather: Here’s how I explain it to my non-writer friends. In 2013 (the dawn of the Kindle and Nook age), Kensington saw a chance to cater to digital readers with Lyrical Press. Those books, such as A Taste of Chardonnay, were specifically designed to be read digitally. While it’s possible to buy them in print, the production method makes them expensive compared with mass market paperbacks.
Flash forward to 2017. Kensington stirred the spaghetti in the pot and threw a handful at the wall. Lo and behold, the name Heather Heyford stuck. As printed in Publishers Weekly, I had begun to “garner a following.” As a result I am now thrilled to be contracted for THE SWEET SPOT, book 1 in my third series, A Willamette Wine Country Romance, which will be part of Lyrical’s new mass market paperback line starting in 2018.
What does that really mean, you ask? It means that in addition to e-readers my books will be available wherever paperbacks are sold, such as Walmart, Target, grocery stores and airports.
Demi: How can my readers find your books and connect with you online?
Heather: If you want to be first to get book news, I invite you to join my newsletter subscribers at tinyletter.com/HeatherHeyford. Another great source is my website, HeatherHeyford.com. I post often on Facebook and Pinterest. A little less often on Instagram. As for Twitter, it’s more like my grumpy aunt’s house. I visit occasionally, but only out of obligation, LOL. All my social media is under Heather Heyford.
Demi: I’ll be the one texting you pictures of your books beside Nicholas Sparks’ latest, Heather!
Heather: Thank you so much for having me! And before I go, a hint for readers. Show your love for your favorite author, no matter who he or she is, by posting a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads or other online bookseller. The best reviews are short, have a catchy title, and sandwich any negatives between two positives. Thanks, and happy reading!

Sneak Peak: Intoxicating
Heath and Poppy have had each other’s backs since they were seven years old. Poppy always made sure the shy science geek got invited to parties. In return, Heath tutored the dyslexic prom queen all through school. Now Poppy needs Heath’s help to pass her sommelier’s exam. How can he say no—even if passing means she’ll be gone from his life forever?
The Girl Most Likely . . .
to be a waitress at her hometown cafe. That’s what Clarkston’s high school yearbook said about Poppy Springer ten years ago and that’s where the beauty queen is today. But that’s about to change now that Poppy has been offered a position as a lady sommelier at a cutting-edge new restaurant. Only Poppy has an embarrassing secret that could keep her from landing her dream job. A secret her high school crush seems determined to help her with
. . . The Man Most Wanted
In high school, Heath Sinclair may have been voted most likely to blow something up, but these days the sexy science prodigy is a self-made success story with his popular microbrewery and chiseled good looks. So why is Clarkston’s most-eligible man so hell-bent on helping Poppy prove that she is more than her reputation? Could it be the enigmatic bachelor has a hankering for the girl who got away?
Excerpt:
“We’ll stay in touch,” said Heath, though deep down he knew they would drift apart. It was inevitable.
“Of course we will,” said Poppy. “I’ll call you—”
They were both thinking the same thing: Like you promised to call me today and didn’t?
Heath cast aside his last shred of pride. “Think of me.”
“I have to do this,” she choked.
This time, it was really the end. Alone in his dark, cavernous house, Heath scrubbed a hand through his hair. Poppy needed him to believe in her, not add to her self-doubt. What was that saying? If you love someone, let her go.
“I’ll come see you once in a while.”
“Sure you will,” she sniffed. “And I’ll come back and see you, too. A lot. Or at least, as often as I can.”
Heath fisted the phone so hard it was a wonder it didn’t break in two, the way his heart was breaking. “And spend the night?”
“If you think I should.”
