 Anne Lange grew up with a love of reading. In fact, if you take a close look, she’s got a book with her where ever she goes, and will usually sneak in at least a chapter or ten whenever she can spare a few minutes. She reads many genres of fiction, but prefers to write sexy romance with attractive men, strong females, and always a happily ever after. While embarking on a career as a romance author, Anne juggles a full time job and a family. She grew up in Southern Ontario (Canada), but now makes her home in Eastern Ontario where she lives with her husband and three children, and Rocky the bearded dragon.   Web Page/Blog: http://authorannelange.com/

Interview Questions:  Anne Lange – Worth the Risk
1.       Where did the idea come from for the book?There was a call from a publisher I follow for Canadian based stories.  I used that basis, picked a Canadian holiday, threw in a little personal experience, and voilà, the idea was form.  Though, I didn’t end up publishing through that publisher, the feedback I received helped the story become what it is today.2.       What genre does your book fall under? Worth the Risk is classed as a Contemporary Erotic Romance. It is a novella, and it has more explicit sex scenes, probably a heat level of 3.5 or 4.       3.       Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?Johnny Depp and Yvonne Strahovski.  I would say they definitely have the right look!  And I’m a huge Johnny Depp fan.   



4.       What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?Even the hottest sex might not be enough to ease the pain of the past.
5.       Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Worth the Risk has been published by Etopia Press, and is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance Ebooks and Kobo.6.       How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?Good question.  Probably a month, but then it took another couple of months to get it to the point I was happy with it.  But, it still underwent another extensive re-write before it was finally accepted by Etopia. And it took over a year to make all that happen. 7.       What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?Any story about two people who fell in love as kids, split up, and then get back together again.  A few examples may include:·         His Unexpected Family by Robyn Thomas, Contemporary, Entangled Publishing·         Second Chances by Rita Oberlies, Contemporary, reunion, Entangled Publishing ·         One Starlit Night by Stacy Dawn, Contemporary, reunion, Wild Roses Press·         That Girl’s the One I Love by Alana Lorens, Contemporary, reunion, Wild Roses Press

      8.       Who or What inspired you to write this book?
Me. This underlying event in this story is based on my own personal experience. Though my life and that of the female lead is very different.      9.       What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?Well, it’s a novella, so it’s not a long read.  It’s a reunion story, and I think people like those.  And I think it’s the circumstances because even for women who haven’t suffered the same experience, they can still relate, because it’s something we all fear.
Thanks for being such an sport Anne, hope the sales will go well and your expectations will be met.
